House Templeton is one of the great Knightly houses of the Vale sworn to House Arryn. The head of the House is given the title 'Knight of Ninestars'.[1] Its current head is Ser Symond Templeton.

Although they are a knightly house, they are very powerful, and their strength and influence are comparable to many lords. It's said they can easily raise a thousand men.[1] House Templeton may be related to the Starks.


They blazon their arms with nine stars, one of 7 points and eight of 6 points, upon a gold saltire on black. [2][3] Their motto does not appear in the books.
