If you could pick 4 non-Great houses to be your bannermen, who and why?

For me, it comes down to loyalty. Numbers are important in terms of support, as is capability, but the true gift that keeps on giving is genuine allegiance. The kind of fealty which won't go away when your backs are against the wall. And for me, these four houses are the ones that I'd want by my side.



1) Manderly



2) Mallister



3) Royce



4) Glover

Not in order:


1)Royce: seems to be a "caring" house, I mean you can count on them


2)Dondarrion: tough guys since they are marcher lords


3)Umber: pretty good physical strength to fight all day


4)Dayne: seems to be pretty badass and there were/are skilled members like Arthur or Gerold


And the first 3 are loyal for sure.

Dayne: ample supply of some of the most honourable and competent fighters in the realm; I'll marry them into my family in order to improve the phenotype of my descendants


Manderley: loyal, smart, strong, politically savvy


Royce Redwyne: naval fleet and fine wine on the House


Reyne, Hightower or Yronwood: you need someone to keep you on your toes, not just bootlickers



Edit: Forgot Redwyne. Of course I want them because they have the wine fleet. I'll exchange them for Royce.

Dtrenght and loyalty are the only important factors id pick

Manderly: many strength and more loyalty.

Royce: Strong and seems loyal.

Redwyne: Maybe less loyal but so much power with tjat fleet.

Rstermont: strong enough but they are so loyal to baratheon

It would be:



-Hightowers: Even if they don't donate troops to my cause, they will donate Lanister level taxes to support any war effort.



-Redwyne: Need a strong naval power, one that won't stab you in the back because of what a squid says.



-Manderly: Loyal and powerful with the strength of a city behind them.



-Royce: Seems to be the most influential house in the Vale(save Aryn), with strong loyalty.



These four would give me a foothold in 3 different regions, and many strong defensible positions.
