History

In 55 AC, Lord Mullendore married Jennis Templeton. It was considered an exceptional match for her, and a triumph for Queen Alysanne Targaryen.[5]

During the Dance of the Dragons, Lord Mullendore declared Uplands for the blacks, going against his Hightower overlords.[6][7]

Ser Matthew Mullendore participated in the tourney at Ashford Meadow in 209 AC,[8] his arms spotted by Duncan the Tall in the gathered heraldry.[9]

Blackshield rode at a tourney in Oldtown, where he was unhorsed and unmasked by Ser Barristan Selmy.[10]

Recent Events

A Clash of Kings

House Mullendore supports Renly Baratheon's claim for the Iron Throne during the War of the Five Kings.[11] Ser Mark Mullendore is a popular member in Renly's army, notably because of his trained black-and-white monkey.[12] Mark goes over to Stannis Baratheon after Renly's death.[13]

Mark loses his arm and his monkey at the Battle of the Blackwater,[12] and is one of the nobles captured. He bends the knee to King Joffrey Baratheon.[13] An Uplands man-at-arms is killed by the squire Alyn Ambrose in the battle.[14]
