Lychester

Lychester is a minor castle in the Riverlands, seat of a house sworn to the Baelish of Harrenhal.

What is known of its history comes down to two widely separated moments: an uprising against the Iron Throne in the early years of the Targaryen dynasty, and, much later, its banners turning up at a siege of Riverrun.

Chapter 1

Vhagar's fire

Books only

When the Faith of the Seven rose against the Iron Throne, House Lychester took its side, alongside other Riverlands houses.

The punishment came from the sky: the widowed queen Visenya Targaryen swept through the region's rebel settlements astride Vhagar, and Lychester's seat was among those burned.

Chapter 2

Banners at Riverrun

Books only

Centuries later, House Lychester's cock's foot resurfaces among the troops gathered by Ser Daven Lannister during the siege of Riverrun.
