clair de lune Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I was researching houses of the Vale, and I noticed on the table of links beneath each article there were two extinct houses: House Shell and House Brightstone. Funnily, both articles are virtually the same backstory. King Jon Brightstone paid an Andal warlord to help him eliminate his foes, but instead the warlord turned his swords upon him and within a year Jon had been taken, tortured, and beheaded. An Andal knight named Corwyn Corbray took Jon's daughter as wife, establishing House Corbray in Westeros.[1]http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/House_Brightstone Dywen Shell, King of the Fingers, paid an Andal warlord to help him eliminate his foes, but instead the warlord turned his swords upon him and Shell was roasted alive inside his wooden longhall. An Andal knight namedCorwyn Corbray took Dywen's wife as his bedwarmer. http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/House_Shell_(Vale) Wonder how that happened!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily, both articles are virtually the same backstory. Wonder how that happened!! lol It is mentioned in TWoIaF. The two rival lords got the same idea to use the Andals against the other. The Andals responded by killing them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithras Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Dywen Shell and Jon Brightstone, both of whom claimed the title King of the Fingers, went so far as to pay Andal warlords to cross the sea, each thinking to use their swords against the other. Instead the warlords turned upon their hosts. Within a year Brightstone had been taken, tortured, and beheaded, and Shell roasted alive inside his wooden longhall. An Andal knight named Corwyn Corbray took the daughter of the former for his bride and the wife of the latter for his bedwarmer, and claimed the Fingers for his own (though Corbray, unlike many of his fellows, never named himself a king, preferring the more modest style of Lord of the Five Fingers).

Ser Harly of Southwell Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Not a mistake. A deliberate plot line to emphasise a theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronnski Beat Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 It was repeated time and again by Romano-Celtic chieftains of post Roman Britain when they'd employ Saxon warlords only to be betrayed and replaced by them. Then later the descendants of those same Anglo-Saxon warlords made the same mistake with the Danes. The First Men sort of correlate with the Celts and the Andals with the Angles and Saxons and Jutes.
