History
Lord Rupert Falwell, the Fighting Fool, participated in the battle at the Great Fork in 42 AC during the Faith Militant uprising. He slew two members of Maegor I Targaryen's Kingsguard before being cut down by Lord Mooton of Maidenpool.[3] Maegor I later used Balerion to set aflame the seat of the Falwells.[3]
During the misrule of Lord Tytos Lannister, Lords Falwell and Jast became embroiled in a private quarrel. Rather than seek a ruling from Casterly Rock, the lords decided to settle the matter with a melee. Nine men were killed, twenty-seven maimed and wounded, and still the quarrel raged on.[4]
