House Broom is a noble house from the westerlands. It is one of the principal houses sworn to House Lannister.[2]
According to semi-canon sources, they blazon their arms with a silver helm, crested with a sprig of broom, on black and green checks.[3]
History
The Brooms are an ancient line, dating back to the days of the First Men.[1]
House Broom at the end of the third century
The known Brooms during the timespan described in A Song of Ice and Fire are:
- Ser Benedict Broom, master-at-arms at Casterly Rock.
Notes
- ↑ The text states that certain houses trace their roots back to the "golden age of the First Men",[1] a term that could be meant to cover the Dawn Age and the Age of Heroes together. As it is unlikely that no First Men houses of note were founded in the Age of Heroes, we cannot tell if the mentioned houses were founded in the Dawn Age or the Age of Heroes.
