House Arryn
From Asoiaf
House Arryn is descended from the Kings of Mountain and Vale, one of the oldest and purest lines of Andal nobility. The Eyrie is the seat of the Arryns. Robert Arryn is the current Lord of the Eyrie.
Lady Jeyne of House Royce, the first wife of Jon Arryn, Lord of the Eyrie, died in childbed, her daughter stillborn.
His second wife and cousin, Lady Rowena died of a winter chill, childless.
