House Mudd of Oldstones was a noble house from the Riverlands. Their castle was at Oldstones although at their time it had a different name.[1] According to semi-canon sources, they blazoned their shield with a golden crown studded with emeralds on a red-brown field.[2]

The Mudds once ruled as Kings of the Rivers and the Hills from a castle along the Blue Fork whose ruins are now called Oldstones.[1] They were the last of the First Men to rule the Trident, reigning for over a thousand years.

Tristan Mudd is considered one of the worst Lord Commanders of the Night's Watch.

Tristifer IV Mudd was a great First Men king who was victorious in ninety-nine of his one hundred battles. When seven Andal kings banded against him, Tristifer lost his one hundredth battle and died in the fighting. Tristifer V succeeded his father, Tristifer IV, but was not his equal and his kingdom was destroyed during the Andal invasion.[3][1]
