Why do you think there weren’t any new Dornish houses formed during Nymeria’s conquest that were purely Rhoynar in origin?

Integration was made the policy of Nymeria and especially the Red Princes.

It's possible, however, that new houses were founded. House Dryland, for example, went extinct after Lucifer Dryland was sent to the Wall, but what happened to Hellgate Hall? When were the Ladybrights or the Drinkwaters founded? What's the exact relationship of the Dalts? Did any Rhoynar Houses follow the example of Joffrey Lydden? All of these are possibilities that we simply don't have answers to due to lack of wordspace.

Thanks for the question, Anon.

[myrc3lla-a]

MEMBERS OF PRINCESS MYRCELLA'S HOUSEHOLD.

Rosamund Lannister. Cella's cousin and lady in waiting. Rosamund's role is mostly, to be her decoy if the princess wase ver found in trouble. Rosamund takes her job seriously and had sworn to protect her cousin, being one of the few who were send with her to Dorne when the Princess was shipped there.

Joy Hill. Joy is Cella's half cousin and the bastard of one of her uncles. She was also send to attend the princess and be more of a companion to play. There was hope Joy would inform Queen Cersei back of Dornish plots or moves but the girl simply enjoyed Dorne too much.

Jocelyn Swyft. First a lady companion to Queen Cersei and then King Tommen, Jocelyn was requested by Myrcella upon her return to King's landing simply out of pity and compassion, aware of the mistreatment she suffered at the hands of her mother. Cella enjoys Jocelyn's singing and dancing.

Syntia Santagar. Sister to the heir of house Santagar, Syntia was send to become one of Myrcella's permanent ladies by Prince Doran and Princess Arianne. Syntia is known for her passion for poisons and some say she has withc like qualities.

Jayne Ladybright. Another dornish lady, first a lady in waiting for Princess Arianne, Jayne is send to become a lady for Myrcella as she returns to King's Landing and plans to set her on the throne or an alliance begin to brew. Jayne is quick with a spear and vows to protect the princess.

Princess Arianne Martell. Myrcella's mentor and friend. Arianne is the mastermind behind the queenmaker plot to set Cella on the throne and the rise of Dorne. Despite the first failed attempt, Arianne remains dear to Myrcella and she could be considered her "Hand of the Queen" if she ever got to power.

Ser Jaime Lannister. Myrcella's uncle and new sworn shield. Ser Jaime has stepped into the role of protector for his niece when he arrived in Dorne and has set eyes on keeping her safe from any attacks or threats, including those coming from within the family.

Ser Arys Oakhart. Myrcella's first sworn shield who died during the Queenmaker Plot protecting the princess, he was more like a father to her during the early years in Dorne and would often give the princess confidance in her skills.

I wanted to illustrate @valoisqueens​ ‘s House Ladybright sigil deisgn, hope it is close to how you imagine it :D Happy Birthday Sini!! ❤️❤️

[mariedemedicis]

I haven’t talked about Jayne Ladybright in awhile (😔) but now I’m remedying that

(So actually this was sparked thinking about the Mormont sisters because we actually don’t have a definite age set for any of them except Lyanna; personally I think Dacey and Alysane are rather close in age which I think is supported by the text, between two and four years max I would say; I also think Lyra and Jorelle are close in age, which not as supported by the text, my guess would be they are in their lateish teens as Maege keeps them with her but they are old enough to fight; and then we have Lyanna at age ten at the very end (and I presume, unplanned; not that any of the Mormont girls were planned necessarily but I think Lyanna was more unexpected then the rest. I’m sooo interested in Lyanna’s relationship with her niece though. Aly’s (unnamed) daughter is only a year younger than Lyanna so I imagine they have to be if not close by choice, thrown together a lot by circumstance and their family.)

so my headcanon/guess is that Jayne is not much older than Elia Sand, but especially when you’re young, you cling to those tiny age differences and they mean so much, so I think she’s between one and three years older than Elia, I tend to think closer to the one/one and a half year apart but three at the max

Jayne has to still be on the youngish side because she’s specifically noted as such but she’s also not called a girl so she’s definitely at least sixteen

Elia Sand is fourteen so I would put Jayne at sixteen although I think seventeen is arguable too

(sidenote: not to be a hater but Elia Sand is a lot closer in age to Dany then Rhaenys, you realize that right? If Rhaenys had lived, it makes more sense to me that she’d be close to Arianne and/or the five older Sand Snakes (Sarella feels most plausible tho’) as well as some of the ladies-in-waiting she might have rather than her baby aunt who depending on Rhaella’s survival may not always be raised together with her niece and nephew; Aegon and Dany are closer in age to each other.)

anyway to clarify, this is all speculated/wildly made up by me based on Jayne appearing in one (1) Arianne sample winds chapter so like grrm could choose to change her name or get rid of her entirely (😪) but!

what I find interesting is that I think she’s like a foil to Elia Sand? maybe foil is too strong a word but like complement. I think Jayne is demure and well behaved (is this all based on the fact that pretty much the only thing of note is her being seasick? yes. could grrm choose to change her ‘characterization’? also yes. but i’m working with what little we’ve got.) the way a lady is supposed to be whereas we know Elia is much more gregarious and a bit wild.

I also think that their stations in life have something to do with this too? and grrm could do interesting things with that if he wants to. we have Elia Sand, a very highborn bastard but a bastard nonetheless with a father who it can only be assumed encouraged her wildness and who is only recently dead (and how much of the way Elia acts is in reaction to that, we just don’t know) and then we have Jayne, a presumably fairly sheltered young noblewoman.

if she’s getting seasick for the first time (again assumption but.), this may be the first time she’s left Dorne (not necessarily of course, there are other ways to travel, especially if you’re going only to the Reach or the Stormlands which are next door, but not i think an implausible guess).

the Ladybrights are all my canon ocs. we know next to nothing about them (yet) - not their house words, not their house colors, not their house sigil, not where their seat is located nor its name, and though we know only the names of two members, that’s almost the sum of the knowledge that we have.

I did extrapolate from their name (which is basically the only thing I can extrapolate from) that they might be particularly religious generally or they might be somewhat like certain religious cults where (I’m using cult here in like a specific religious subset way not a mass murder type way although obviously a cult can be both.) one god or aspect was given the lion’s share of the prayers and attention and devotion, i.e. the cult of mithras.

so I designed their sigil keeping that in mind. (sheb drew it for me here because she’s an angel. 💙)

‘the lady’ is a bit vague, it doesn’t map clearly onto solely the maiden or the mother, although those do feel a bit more plausible than the crone tbh. I also think it’s a reasonable interpretation that religion is practiced a bit differently regionally (grrm doesn’t really show us this but 🤫) and I think it’s entirely possible for someone(s) to choose to focus on the women aspects of the seven. (even the stranger honestly. the stranger said to be neither male or female so like, can probably be mapped under either by choice or variant of worshippers. also ‘the lady’ seems like it could be a way to euphemistically refer to a powerful figure such as death or a deathbringer but avoiding using their name so as not to summon them/get their attention.)

so I think the lady can be a number of possible things either a) amalgamation/focus of the maiden, mother, and crone or b) another name for just the maiden or c) mother and maiden or d) the three plus the death aspect. and doesn’t have to be the same one always.

I think House Ladybright may have a special connection with one of these or at the very least, the house founder might have. whether that is still true of the current members of the house is another thing.

Alyse Ladybright, canon relation to Jayne unknown, is lady treasurer.

because of that, I think it’s fairly reasonable to assume both that a) she’s on the older side rather than the younger and b) that she’s not the (current) head of her house.

I think it’s a logical assumption not to put say, a twelve year old, in charge of the accounting and financial decisions of a Great House even if they’re a mathematical genius so I think she is at least 20 and given that Arianne does not include either her or Jayne in her friend group nor in her childhood remembering, I think Alyse is at least 10 to 15 years older than Arianne

I headcanon her as close in age to Doran and them as childhood friends but that’s just what I would like

Likewise, although the age gap is almost certainly less between Arianne and Jayne, she doesn’t feature in Arianne’s memories like Sylva, Garin, Daemon, and Tyene do (this could be because the Ladybrights are very recent conceptions of grrm’s like how in agot we didn’t know all the names of Maege’s daughters but either way I think it has to be presumed they didn’t play together in childhood)

Alyse is probably not the head of her family because if she’s lady treasurer for Doran, she probably spends nearly all of her time in Sunspear/the Water Gardens, etc. it’s not impossible but unlikely that she’d also have time to run House Ladybright’s seat and manage her family’s affairs.

but she is a Ladybright. so either she’s a Ladybright by marriage, a widow, maybe of a previous Lord Ladybright, or she was married and widowed and reverted to her maiden name (possible of course but unlikely I think), or, what I think is most likely, has remained unmarried to do what she loves best which is math for the Martells. and I think she’s able to do that because her position brings prestige to her family.

so I think she is either younger sister to the current ruling Lord or Lady Ladybright or aunt to the same. Either way, I have her as great-aunt to Jayne.

hmm I really strayed from my initial thought didn’t I

it’s unclear to me whether Jayne and Elia Sand had an acquaintance before this trip but if not or if they knew who the other was and that’s about it, Elia making fun of Jayne getting seasick is hardly going to put them on the right foot so I look forward to them not getting along and being contrasts to each other and probably driving poor Arianne crazy

(last comment before I post this ramblygook: why is Jayne included at all in Arianne’s party? she’s the most obvious why is she there, so I think my idea that Doran and Alyse are friends/were friends/are close isn’t completely unfounded. also supports my thought that the Ladybrights are sworn directly to the Martells rather than vassals of say, the Daynes or the Yronwoods, but given their lack of significant mentions in Dornish history, I think it’s likely they derive their prestige from that relationship alone.)

I hope we see more of Jayne (and I hope we get to see Alyse) even if it means I’m proven wrong

I don’t know how to end this so uh have a meme behind the cut and peace and love ✌️

how I look to y’all posting this:

[princessnysar]

Part Two before and during Robert’s rebellion:

Lady Kerenza Uller, eldest daughter of Lord Harmen 

Lady Wylla Wyl, the heiress of her house 

Lady Larra Blackmont, eldest daughter of Lord Maekar and heiress 

Lady Alyse Ladybright, eldest daughter of Lady Sita and heiress 

Lady Myriah Vaith, eldest daughter of Lord Daeron and heiress 

[aegor-bamfsteel]

Random Bracken headcanon: One of Jonos Bracken’s five daughters is named “Jayne.” While the name “Jeyne” is very common in Westeros including the Riverlands (Jeyne Darry-Frey, Jeyne Goodbrook, Jeyne Harroway, and Long Jeyne Heddle, among others), the alternate spelling Jayne only appears one other time: In Arianne’s Winds of Winter chapter, one of the ladies-in-waiting who accompanies her to the Stormlands is young Jayne Ladybright. We know so little about House Ladybright (aside from Jayne, the only other member of the House mentioned is Sunspear’s lord treasurer Alyse) that it’s hard to say if it’s a unique family spelling (not a regional one, since “Jeyne” is used for Jeyne Fowler. Though as the Fowlers are First Men/Stony Dornish and we don’t know where the Ladybrights even live, Jayne might be a Rhoynar variation/transliteration instead). So maybe Lady Bracken is a Ladybright and decided to give one of her daughters her family’s special variation on a common name. 

[aliadayne]

Daughters of Dorne

Jayne Ladybright, whose degree of relationship with Dorne's Lady Treasurer, Lady Alyse, is not known. Described as pretty, she accompanies Princess Arianne Martell on her mission to meet Jon Connington in the Stormlands. She does not tolerate well the trip by sea.

Myria Jordayne, heiress of Lord Trebor Jordayne. She is part of the escort that accompanies Prince Oberyn Martell to King's Landing. Once back in Dorne, she is present at the feast when Balon Swann arrives in Sunspear. She is one of the nobles who drink when Ricasso raises a toast to King Tommen Baratheon.

HOUSE MARTELL :: 101 AC - 158 AC

Not much was known of House Martell during the Dance of Dragons, and most of the history prior to its induction into the Seven Kingdoms is either hidden or lost. 

What is known is that Prince Qoren Martell and his consort Arianna Martell nee Manwoody, were blessed with four children, three daughters and one son. Leila Martell was the eldest and as such, she inherited Dorne when her father passed. Aliandra, younger by three years, grew up into a spirited young lady and was said to hold the affection of Ser Alyn Velaryon. Prince Qyle and Princess Coryanne were the youngest, and while Prince Qyle’s martial prowess became well-known throughout Dorne, Princess Coryanne preferred to keep her skills private, and so not much was written of her. 

Stranger still was the inconsistent appearances of Prince Qoren’s younger brother Andar Martell and his paramour, Selyna Ladybright. It is unknown why the two nobles never married yet shared three daughters, affectionately known as the Daughters of the Dorne for their loyalty to their kingdom. 

Meera Sand was rumored to be Princess Leila’s own Mistress of Whisperers and personal assassin, while her sisters moved behind the scenes, fulfilling different duties for the Princess of Dorne. 

Princess Leila refused to have any other ladies in waiting but her cousins and sisters, which was not unusual for Dorne, although it did lead to some tension between the vassal houses and the Great House.

The fates of House Martell largely remain unknown, as Dorne stayed a far removed kingdom until Prince Daeron married Princess Myriah Martell, Leila Martell’s own granddaughter, several decades later.

House Yronwood of Yronwood:

House Yronwood is the most powerful house in Dorne after the ruling Martells. Their seat, Yronwood, is the last fortress defending the Boneway; this is reflected in their title Warden of the Stone Way. House Yronwood claimed the title High King of Dorne before the arrival of the Rhoynar, and the head of the house continues to be called the Bloodroyal. An ancient family of First Men origin, the Yronwoods built Yronwood in the foothills of the Red Mountains and controlled the Stone Way.  The valuable land allowed the Yronwoods to rule much of northern Dorne. Their domain eventually reached from Wyl to the headwaters of the Greenblood, and, at times, even the Sandship of House Martell. Although rich and powerful, the Yronwoods were unable to conquer the Kings of Stone and Sky from House Fowler, the Kings of the Torrentine from House Dayne.
