History
Ser Jeffory Norcross, known as Neveryield, was a member of the Kingsguard.[2]
Ser Hosman Norcross was a household knight in service to Ser Colin Florent when he received an offer to marry Colin's daughter, Delena. Her father had already declined a match with Tyrion Lannister, who had been offered only after Delena was despoiled by King Robert I Baratheon in the wedding bed of her cousin, Selyse, and his brother, Stannis. The result of that union was Edric Storm.[3][4][5]
