History
Ser Clarence Crabb was a legendary hero from the Crackclaw Point area. His seat, the Whispers, is allegedly named for the severed heads he collected and brought back to his wife, who raised them from the dead. These heads, pirates, lords, wizards, knights, were used as counselors and would whisper among themselves.[1]
During the Dance of the Dragons, House Crabb declared for Rhaenyra Targaryen. Crabb forces joined Lord Walys Mooton to liberate Rook's Rest from the control of Aegon II Targaryen's greens.[2] In more recent times, during Robert's Rebellion, members of House Crabb were with Prince Rhaegar Targaryen in the Battle of the Trident.
House Crabb produced some fine knights. Three members served in the Kingsguard: Ser Clement Crabb, Ser Rupert Crabb and Ser Clarence the Short.
