The Bard of Banefort Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Depends on what point in the series we’re talking about. Overall, some of the top candidates would be Velaryon, Hightower, Strong, Reyne, Corbray, Darklyn, Mooton, Royce, Blackwood, and Bracken. House Wyl also has a nasty habit of causing havoc.

Northern Sword Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 In no way at all are the Hightower' a minor house. Lord of Oldstones, SaffronLady, Ser Arthurs Dawn and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Stark Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I wouldn't count any of these options as "minor" houses. In Westeros, there are the Lords Paramount, and their bannermen. We are then shown how important these houses are relative to each other. Without having been propped up by the Targaryens for a couple of centuries, Houses Tully and Tyrell would probably be afterthoughts. House Martell was largely overlooked until they joined forces with Nymeria and her Rhoynish followers. A House can quickly become quite powerful under the right circumstances. The Houses on the op's list, and many of the honorable mentions, are of prestigious noble bloodlines, are quite old, and they each have considerable resources at their disposal in terms of manpower, wealth, or both. In addition, these houses tend to occupy lands that are of great strategic importance. These things being true, none of the entries on this list can be considered "minor." They might answer to their Lord Paramount, but if these Houses could step in and run their respective kingdoms in place of their liegelords, they cannot be considered "minor." A minor House would be something like House Westerling, prestigious maybe, but poor and unable to throw their weight around. But just because a House isn't in charge of everything in their kingdom, that doesn't make them minor.

Lord of Oldstones Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I agree. All these houses arent minor. Most definately not Hightower and Redwyne who are insanely powerful.All these houses are major bannermen and considered to be great houses in the universe. Great many boast royal past. Hightower bannermen will top the minor list but they also appear to be prominent in their own right. So, 1 Rosby (Rich & being close to capital gives good influence ) 2 Velaryon( Now turned minor but exellent lineage & small fleet) 3 Swyft 4 Hewett( Decent town in their island) 5 Massey 6 Celtigar 7 Serry 8 Grimm 9 Chester 10 Shett Northern Sword and Nathan Stark 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Graftons should be richer than those other houses mentioned above. the Yronwoods are the second most powerful house in Dorne and the Tarly's are a strong house from the most populated kingdom, if the Graftons are stronger than either then they would be second or third strongest house in the Vale, they are not mentioned as being so.

Lee-Sensei Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 In no particular order after the Hightowers: Hightower, Redwyne, Royce, Manderly, Grafton, Frey, Bolton, Whent, Tarly and Rowan are my guesses. This is at the start of the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingAerys_II Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 In the North the strongest are House Bolton and Umber, in the Reach the Florent and Hightower, in Dorne there are the Fowlers, Yronwoods and Ullers, Stormlands the Conningtons, in the Vale House Royce is very powerful, in the Riverlands the Bracken, Blackwoods and Freys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingAerys_II Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 (edited) Yronwood, Fowler, Uller, Dayne, Connington, Florent, Hightower, Umber, Bolton, Frey, Velaryon, Celtigar, Harlaw, Redwyne. The strongest are Redwyne, Hightower, Bolton, Umber, Yronwood in the current history. Velaryon and Celtigar lost most of their power Edited September 6, 2023 by KingAerys_II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
