The Sweets | The Sweets claim descent to [[House Beesbury]] in the [[The Reach|Reach]], though whether through a second son, a bastard or a daughter married off is unclear. | ||
Originally, House Sweet ruled from the isle of Sweetport Sound off the western coast of the Hook. But during the early years of the [[Coming of the Andals|Andal Invasions]], the [[Andals]] of [[House Sunglass]] landed on their shores in force with fire and steel, laying waste to their weirwoods, slaughtering their smallfolk, and fully displacing the Sweets from their ancestral lands. Under the leadership of Owen Sweet, they fled from the isle with what fighting men they had left and found refuge with King [[Justin Milk-Eye|Justin I Massey]] of the Hook who granted them new lands and titles within the Hook in exchange for their loyalty. | Originally, House Sweet ruled from the isle of Sweetport Sound off the western coast of the Hook.
