Be Bold, Be Just
Excerpt from Master Edvin's "The Houses of Westeros": The Roxtons are another old and wise family, sitting atop Casterly Rock. They have been the sort to lay back and wait for things to sort themselves. However, when Alanna Roxton tied her fate to Baldwin Stainthorpe, the usurper, things passively headed south for this regal house. While Alanna got to serve as queen for a few years, she along with her husband was publically executed for treason, upon the return of the true king, Frederick Hawthorne. The last male heir of Casterly Rock, Royce Roxton, decided to choose an heir instead of producing one. Royce always believed women had an easier route to power than men, so instead of attempting to form any more alliances, he chose a pair of talented low-born and orphaned siblings to groom, so that the girl could one day, marry the prince and the boy could be the heir of Casterly Rock. Taking forward the legacy of Roxtons, but not by blood.
