Lord Vaith bent the knee to King Daeron I Targaryen in the Submission of Sunspear during the Conquest of Dorne.[8][9]

Cassella Vaith was the third mistress of King Aegon IV Targaryen.[9] Old Lady Vaith was reportedly mad during the reign of King Aerys I Targaryen, though according to Egg, Ser Duncan the Tall could have been more courteous in what he said to her.[10]
