History

The Stauntons supported the blacks and Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen's claim to the Iron Throne during the Dance of the Dragons. Lord Staunton was killed by the greens during the Battle of Rook's Rest, and his head was taken to King's Landing.[2]

Ser Joffrey Staunton served in the Kingsguard during the reign of Aegon III Targaryen.[3]

Septon Sefton was the brother of Ser Simon Staunton, the third husband of Lady Rohanne Webber. Sefton served at the Great Sept of Baelor and at Coldmoat.[4]

Lord Symond Staunton served as Master of Laws for Aerys II. He unsuccessfully tried to persuade the King to prohibit tourneys and inflamed the King's suspicions against their son Rhaegar Targaryen.[5]
