History
The Westerlings are an old and well-regarded family that descends from the First Men. They once intermarried with the Kings of the Rock, and a Jeyne Westerling married King Maegor I of House Targaryen. Their lands and incomes have dwindled over the years, however, with their mines having failed years ago, and having sold or lost their best lands. They now scarcely have the funds to maintain their keep, and are regarded as having more pride than power.[1]
Ser Ormond Westerling participated in the Ashford Tourney. Their arms were spotted by Dunk among the gathered heraldry.[4]
Ser Elys Westerling participated in the Sack of King's Landing.[5]
Lord Gawen Westerling offered his daughter Jeyne as a possible match for Willem or Martyn Lannister, but he was turned down by Kevan Lannister.

The wounded Raynald was last seen jumping into the Green Fork and is presumed dead.
