I'd say House Yronwood would probably have the least of the Rhoynish influence if there is any. Nymeria's third husband was a Dayne so I am sure they picked up some Rhoynish customs. I know Dorne has its own accents but how much of it is clearly Rhoynish or how much of it is simply Dornish, since Dorne has always been culturally seperate from the other kingdoms.

Sure, but to someone ignorant of Southern Westeros, other than a sigil and simple geography, would there be any discernible difference between a Stony Dornishman and someone born in say the Reach or the Stormlands?

Oakhearts head Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 If Sweet Robert died and Harry the heir became Lord of the Eyrie is it likely he would keep the last name Hardyng or would he become Lord Harrold Arryn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect he would change his name. I expect that kind of thing has been done a lot over the past several thousand years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can't imagine a true patrilineal line of Starks for 400 hundred generations. That's about as fanciful as fire breathing dragons and white walkers.

Following the death of King Gerold III Lannister, the husband of Gerold's daughter, Joffrey Lydden, took the last name Lannister to rule as the King of the Westerlands, and when Beren Tallhart is suggested as heir to Hornwood lands, it is suggested that he'd change his last name to Hornwood as well.

Lost Melnibonean Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 When Ramsay wrote from Barrowton to Asha at Deepwood, he said, “I send you each a piece of prince.” Besides Asha, to whom did he write and send a piece of Theon's skin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roose has a piece of Theon's skin when he tells Robb and Catelyn about it before the Red Wedding. Quote "Did Ramsay mention Theon Greyjoy?" Robb demanded. "Was he slain as well, or did he flee?" Roose Bolton removed a ragged strip of leather from the pouch at his belt. "My son sent this with his letter." Ser Wendel turned his fat face away. Robin Flint and Smalljon Umber exchanged a look, and the Greatjon snorted like a bull. "Is that ... skin?" said Robb. "The skin from the little finger of Theon Greyjoy's left hand. My son is cruel, I confess it. And yet ... what is a little skin, against the lives of two young princes? You were their mother, my lady. May I offer you this ... small token of revenge?" (A Storm of Swords 566) I assume this means Ramsay sent the letter to Roose, with its piece of skin, at Harrenhal or the Twins. Ravens would not reach him in the field and riders could not get past Moat Cailin. Of course, there could be more recipients of bits of Theon. Balon Greyjoy would be a likely candidate. Perhaps something was sent to Robb at Riverrun after he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your edit. Possibly, but I think a letter to Pyke is more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASoS, Jaime VIII: He looked about the Round Room once more. White wool hangings covered the walls, and there was a white shield and two crossed longswords mounted above the hearth. The chair behind the table was old black oak, with cushions of blanched cowhide, the leather worn thin. Worn by the bony arse of Barristan the Bold and Ser Gerold Hightower before him, by Prince Aemon the Dragonknight, Ser Ryam Redwyne, and the Demon of Darry, by Ser Duncan the Tall and the Pale Griffin Alyn Connington. How could the Kingslayer belong in such exalted company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
