House Estermont/Family Trees
Due to the contradicting information available about House Estermont, there are different possibilities for the Estermont family tree. This page lists the two supposed family trees with their references.

Option 1

Information in A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords and A Feast for Crows gives the following family tree:
- {Lord Estermont}, former Lord of Greenstone. An ancient man. Old-fashioned and cautious. Died in 300 AC.[1][2][3]
- Lord Eldon Estermont, Lord of Greenstone, a man of 70, recently married to Sylva Santagar.[4][5][3]
- Ser Aemon Estermont, Eldon's son and heir.
- Ser Alyn Estermont, Aemon's son.
- Ser Aemon Estermont, Eldon's son and heir.
- Ser Lomas Estermont, his second son.[6][7]
- Ser Andrew Estermont, Lomas's son.[8]
- Lady {Cassana Estermont}, his daughter. Deceased in a shipwreck with her husband, Lord Steffon Baratheon.[9]
- King {Robert I}, her eldest son. Slain by a boar.
- Stannis I, her second son. Claimant to the Iron Throne.
- {Renly I}, her third son. Claimant to the Iron Throne, slain under mysterious circumstances.
- Lord Eldon Estermont, Lord of Greenstone, a man of 70, recently married to Sylva Santagar.[4][5][3]
With unspecified familiar relationship to the main branch of the house there is also:
- An unnamed female cousin of Robert Baratheon.[10]
- Her father and husband who both died during the siege of Storm's End.[10]
It is unknown to which degree Robert and this cousin were related. If they were first cousins, then the former Lord Estermont had another son in addition to Eldon and Lomas, as both survived Robert's Rebellion.

Option 2

Information from A World of Ice and Fire and A Dance with Dragons shows that the current Lord of Estermont, Eldon, is Stannis' great-uncle. This would give another possible version of the family's relationships:
- {Lord Estermont}, former Lord of Greenstone. An ancient man. Old-fashioned and cautious. Died in 300 AC
- Lady {Cassana Estermont}, his daughter. Deceased in a shipwreck with her husband, Lord Steffon Baratheon.
- King {Robert I}, her eldest son. Slain by a boar.
- Stannis I, her second son. Claimant to the Iron Throne.
- {Renly I}, her third son. Claimant to the Iron Throne, slain under mysterious circumstances.
- Lady {Cassana Estermont}, his daughter. Deceased in a shipwreck with her husband, Lord Steffon Baratheon.
- Lord Eldon Estermont, Lord of Greenstone, a man of 70, recently married to Sylva Santagar.[11][12]
- Ser Aemon Estermont, Eldon's son and heir.[13]
- Ser Alyn Estermont, Aemon's son.
- Ser Lomas Estermont, his second son.[14]
- Ser Andrew Estermont, Lomas's son.
- Ser Aemon Estermont, Eldon's son and heir.[13]
Integrating this option with the information in A Feast for Crows, it appears that Lady Cassana had two unnamed brothers and the unnamed female cousin of Robert Baratheon could be a daughter of one of them.
