History
The Peakes of Starpike have an older lineage than that of House Tyrell,[1] claiming descent from Florys the Fox.[2]
Starpike is the last castle that remains of the three once held by House Peake,[3] as Dunstonbury and Whitegrove[4] were stripped after the First Blackfyre Rebellion because of Lord Gormon Peake's support for Daemon I Blackfyre.[3]
According to a semi-canon source, King Maekar I Targaryen's helm was crushed by a rock from the battlements of Starpike during the Peake Uprising. Lord Robert Reyne and Ser Tywald Lannister were also killed in the Storming of Starpike.[5]
Behind the Scenes
Starpike is a reference by George R. R. Martin to Steerpike, a character in the Gormenghast series by Mervyn Peake.
