Overview

House Charlton is a vassal of House Frey, their lands and seat located northeast of The Twins. Ser Andrey Charlton (NPC) attended the tourney at Stonebridge in July, 288 and participated in the joust. On the first day, he was overthrown in the final by the champion, Ser Lyle "Strongboar" Crakehall. On the second day of tilts, he was champion of the lists, overthrowing Ser Anton Valentin in the final after seven passes.

At the Challenge of Champions to celebrate the Terrick-Banefort wedding, Ser Andrey challenged Lady Anais' champion Ser Jarod Rivers, defeating him in one pass. He ended the day as one of the five champions.

History

House Charlton is the most powerful of the bannerhouses sworn to loyalty of the Freys, having noble vassal families of their own. Lord Walder has never married a Charlton, some say because he already commands their total loyalty, while others claim it is due to a lack of great beauties in the family. Whatever the cause, the Charltons were the largest contingent of Frey troops when Lord Walder's armies arrived late to the Trident, their knights riding ahead with Eddard Stark to King's Landing, afterward.

In February of 289, Lord Ser Keegan Charlton authorized the expansion of the Charlton Holdings by granting permission to his nephew, Aleister Charlton, to form a Cadet Branch of House Charlton, which has been named House Charlton of Highfield.

In October of 289, Lord Ser Keegan Charlton swore fealty directly to House Tully of the Riverlands, forsaking his oaths to Lord Walder Frey in the process. As a result, both House Fenster and House Charlton of Highfield broke their oaths to House Charlton, to see to their own safety with the growing rage of Lord Walder Frey.

As of October 9, 2012 - this branch of House Charlton is closed to new characters.
