House Locke of Oldcastle is a noble house from Oldcastle in the north.[3]

Their banner is two bronze keys crossed on a white pale on purple. Their words do not appear in the text.[4]

History

The Lockes ruled as First Men kings after the Long Night, but they were eventually reduced to vassals by the Kings of Winter from House Stark.[5]

After the extinction of House Greystark, the Flints held the Wolf's Den for a century and the Lockes for almost two centuries.[1][5]

While going to the Twins to attend Lord Edmure Tully's wedding, Lockes are caught on the wrong side of the Trident. They suffer heavy losses when attacked by Gregor Clegane in the fighting at the fords of the Trident.[12] During the Red Wedding, Catelyn Stark sees Donnel killed by crossbow bolts.[13]
