The ancestors of House Borrell were pirate kings until the Starks came down on them with fire and sword.[2] For five thousand years the Borrells have had "the mark", a sort of webbing between the three middle fingers of their hands.[2][7]
During the Dance of the Dragons, Prince Jacaerys Velaryon gained Houses Borrell and Sunderland for the blacks during his visit to Sisterton.[5][6] The Sunderlands dragged the Three Sisters into two of the Blackfyre Rebellions, for which the Sistermen suffered grievously.[2]
At the start of Robert's Rebellion, Lord Borrell let Lord Eddard Stark sail for White Harbor, telling him to remain silent about his stay in Sisterton in case the rebellion failed.[2]
