The Swanns claim they are the oldest of the marcher houses, a distinction they share with [[House Caron]], and are regarded as prideful, strong, and prudent. As far as anyone can tell, the Swanns have ruled over Stonehelm in the Red Watch for as long as anyone can remember, and their history goes far back into the [[Age of Heroes]]. | The Swanns claim they are the oldest of the marcher houses, a distinction they share with [[House Caron]], and are regarded as prideful, strong, and prudent.

During the early [[Coming of the Andals|Andal Invasions]], [[Andals|Andal]] invaders under [[House Polander]] took the southern island chain of the Severisles for themselves, exiling the local lords previously sworn to Stonehelm and repelling a Swann attempt to take the isles back. Since then the Swanns are desperate to retake their lost territory, and have a fierce rivalry with the Andal usurpers. | |||
