House Vance

Line 30:

After the death of King Armistead “the Fool”, his grandson, King Armistead III, ascended the throne. He became known above all for his cruelty toward the believers in the Old Gods, whose persecution provoked a great uprising against him, even as disease swept across the Rivermark.

The struggle lasted the entire summer, but it ended in victory. Soon after, King Armistead III Vance denounced King Robert [[House Lannister|Lannister]] for striking a pact with the Ironborn. Rallying his vassals and the forces of the River and the Hills, he invaded [[the Westerlands]], yet the campaign faltered quickly.

In the aftermath, Armistead allied with the Lannisters against the Ironborn, who had captured Kayce and laid waste to Lannisport. The war, however, was lost, and with the coming of winter the king returned home in defeat.

Driven into madness by his failures, Armistead slew his own queen and one of his daughters. When he turned his rage upon his heir, Lord Florian Den Ford intervened, protecting the boy and slaying the king. The young heir, in honor of his mother, took the name Marq upon his ascension. He pardoned Lord Florian for the regicide, though as punishment Florian’s right hand was struck off by the new king himself.
