'''House Kenning of Kayce''' is a house of [[The Iron Islands|Ironborn]] descent, formerly situated on Lann's Point in [[The Westerlands|the Westerlands]]. Their original seat was Kayce, before Harrag Hornblower was overthrown in 40 A.I. by the Queen Elsa Reyne, and a conspiracy of Harrag's own bannermen. They are kin to the [[House Kenning|Kennings]] of Harlaw.

For his part - Herrock Kenning was named the Lord of Kayce, and gifted all the lands of the headland known as Lann's Point. Kenning in exchange adopted the gods of the west, and swore not to raid within the Kingdom of the Rock.

The reaction to the acts of Herrock 'Whoreson' through the West ~~are~~ mixed. Some ~~are~~ delighted to have Ironborn of their own to unleash on their foes, and ~~see~~ them as an ideal defence against future raids. Others ~~see~~ them as dishonourable turncloaks for whom the noose is too kind a fate. Some ~~think~~ a bit of both - but ~~appreciate~~ having rabid dogs to do their bloody work where needed.

The reaction to the acts of Herrock 'Whoreson' through the West were mixed. Some were delighted to have Ironborn of their own to unleash on their foes, and saw them as an ideal defence against future raids. Others saw them as dishonourable turncloaks for whom the noose is too kind a fate. Some thought a bit of both - but appreciated having rabid dogs to do their bloody work where needed.

House Kenning's time as the rulers of Kayce, and more broadly the lands of Lann's Point came to an end in 40 A.I., after the Clever Conspiracy, and the seizing of Lord Harrag Kenning during a visit to Casterly Rock. Kenning was accused of conspiring with the Ironmen against the West, and sent to the Wall. Despite an attempt to escape, Harrag reached Castle Black, and became a ranger stationed at Eastwatch-by-the-Sea.

The children of House Kenning found their fates divided in the years that followed. Harrag's eldest son, Gundor, had been warded at Crakehall many years before, and remained in the service of King Brandon Crakehall, even after he bent the knee to Loreon V Lannister. Margot Kenning, his only living daughter, was wed to Sebaston Lantell, Lord Tymond Lantell's second son. Qarl and Balon Kenning were sent to Feastfires with their mother's kin, but they both escaped during a storm for Fair Isle. With the aid of the local Ironborn lord, Vickon Greyjoy, they were sent on to Pyke, where they were Drowned, and bent the knee to Urron Greyiron. By 63 A.I. Qarl had been married to Urron's daughter Rhonda, and had been granted command of a keep on the recently reconquered Arbor.

In 64 A.I., Gundor Kenning attempted to petition the new king Tyrion I Lannister before his coronation, to do justice for his family being entirely stripped of lands and titles by his father's supposed treason. Gundor was denied, and sentenced to exile. He wandered until joining the Night's Watch the following year. In 75 A.I. Balon Kenning, Harrag's second son, wed Sif Kenning, the eldest daughter of the Kenning of Shieldrow, joining the two formerly estranged houses.
