House Mudd
Seat Oldstones
Region the Riverlands

House Mudd is a noble house from the Riverlands. Their castle was at Oldstones although at their time it had a different name[1].

History

The Mudds once ruled as Kings of the Rivers and the Hills[2]. They were the last of the First Men to rule the trident[3]. Two members of the house are named:

  • Tristifer IV, the Hammer of Justice. He fought victoriously against the Andal invaders[4] until he was slain in his 100th battle.
  • Tristifer V, his son. He was not the equal of his father and soon lost his kingdom and his castle. With his death the house became extinct.

According to another letter of Martin the Mudds were destroyed in wars against the Storm Kings or Ironmen[5]. Unless the Storm Kings or Ironmen were the Andal invaders this may be an error or Martin may have changed his opinion.
