Isembard Arryn was the head of House Arryn of Gulltown and a claimant to the Eyrie, named The Gilded Falcon.[1]

History

He was known as the Gilded Falcon due to his wealth, as men used to jape that the falcon on his arms was made of gold.

After the death of Lady Jeyne Arryn, a succession dispute emerged between her chosen heir, Ser Joffrey Arryn, and a closer cousin, Ser Arnold Arryn. Isembard emerged as a third claimant and used his wealth to bribe lesser lords and hire sellswords to support his claim.

The king's regent, Ser Corwyn Corbray, ruled that Lady Jeyne's will must prevail and declared Ser Joffrey the rightful Lord of the Eyrie. Isembard Arryn and his sons were imprisoned, but House Grafton still continued to support his claim.

By the time the new regents were chosen by lot in 136 AC, Lord Alyn Velaryon and Lord Benjicot Blackwood had at last forced the supporters of Isembard Arryn and Arnold Arryn to do homage to Lord Joffrey as their liege.[1]
