The next Magnar of Dunstonbury and the Roseroad was Matthew's first son, [[Tanton Manderly]]. His first act as Magnar was the creation of the Merguard. After King Garth's unfortunate death at the tournament in Ashford, and Gwayne's coronation he oversaw the return of half of the lands stripped from House Manderly after the war of the White and Green, namely the keep of Sagecrown. Garth vowed to return the keep of Florynn as well, but King Gwayne wasn't sure of Manderly loyalty yet. The Manderlys should show their loyalty soon. Coming in to reinforce Gardener troops, Dunstonbury's men were vital in repelling an ironborn raid led by the [[House Greyjoy|Greyjoys]] on the northern Reach, after the reavers had sailed up the Mander. | The next Magnar of Dunstonbury and the Roseroad was Matthew's first son, [[Tanton Manderly]].

This led to his son Wilfryd essentially taking over the duties of Magnar at only 16 years of age. Betrothed to Alyna [[House Crane|Crane]], daughter of the Lord of Red Lake, Wilfryd was skilled in diplomacy, similar to his grandfather Matthew. | ||
Tragedy struck [[House Manderly]] during the winter of 163 A.I., when Magnar [[Tanton Manderly]] drowned in a flood of the Mander before any “Merman’s Gold” wine could ever be made. And in an even crueler twist of fate, only a few months later during the spring of 164 A.I., Magnar Wilfryd’s life was cut short by a servant’s blade, which was ruled as a tragic accident. | Tragedy struck [[House Manderly]] during the winter of 163 A.I., when Magnar [[Tanton Manderly]] drowned in a flood of the Mander before any “Merman’s Gold” wine could ever be made.
