History Characters / ASongOfIceAndFireHouseWaynwood

* WidowWoman: Her husband died some years ago. As she is the Lady of Ironoaks in her own right, she continues to rule without him.

* {{Jerkass}}: Towards his '''uncle''' Ser Wallace Waynwood, mocking their stutter.

* TangledFamilyTree: Involved in a direct one with the Arryns and the Hardyngs. Oh, and incidentally, there's a branch of Freys they're also directly related to. Along with having a female-linked connection with the Starks (and, by extension, the Karstarks). Incidentally, Miranda Royce has fun calling the lot of them "horse-faced", and Alayne Stone also notices [[StrongFamilyResemblance this quirk]], combined with the dark hair. Without quite realising what both mean in relation to her. [[spoiler: Seriously, Sansa -- they're your cousins! They resemble Ben, Jon and Arya for a reason! And, there's probably a good reason you find it easy to get along with the lot of them with minimum effort.]]

* AlliterativeName: '''W'''allace '''W'''aynwood.

* BenevolentBoss: After Harrold Hardyng impregnated Cissy, one of House Waynwood's lowborn servants, and then abandoned her when she grew fat during the pregnancy, Anya arranged for Cissy to marry one of her men-at-arms to ensure she would be looked after.

* CoolOldLady: She's a sarcastic and powerful noblewoman who isn't afraid to call out dangerous men like Ser Lyn Corbray for their actions.

* LargeHam: His efforts to hit on Alayne are pretty over the top.

* WarHawk: Wants the Knights of the Vale to go to war with the mountain clans, who have become bolder and increased their attacks since Jon Arryn's death, but is denied permission by Lysa. This failure to act on the part of Lysa leads to Tyrion Lannister allying with and supplying the mountain clans, making their assaults on the Vale even worse.

* EveryoneHasStandards: While he is a jerk towards his uncle, he and the other Waynwood's are stunned and apologetic when Harrold Hardyng insults Alayne for being a bastard upon meeting her.

!! Vassal Houses
[[folder: House Hardyng]]
!!House Hardyng

House Hardyng is a noble house from the Vale of Arryn. They blazon their arms with a field of red and white diamonds.

The House is sworn to the Waynwoods.

!!!Tropes related to House Hardyng:
* AlliterativeName: H's.
* TheGhost: Alys Stone, Harrold's bastard daughter.

!!Ser Harrold Hardyng
!!!Harry the Heir, Harry the Arse, The Young Falcon

The teenaged cousin of Robert Arryn and heir to the position of Lord of the Vale. He is a ward of Lady Anya Waynwood. His grandmother was Jon Arryn's sister Alys, and should Robert die, Ser Harrold will become Lord Arryn and the new Defender of the Vale and Warden of the East.
----
* ArrangedMarriage: To [[spoiler:Alayne Stone, aka Sansa Stark, for Sansa to gain the allegiance of the Vale]].
* {{Expy}}: His supremely distant claim to the Eyrie and House Arryn echoes the very distant claim of Henry Tudor to the Plantagenet and Lancaster titles.
* InSeriesNickname: "Harry the Heir" and the Young Falcon. Lothor Brune calls him "Harry the Arse" after witnessing his behavior.
* HistoryRepeats: Like her Aunt Lyanna, Sansa is another Stark engaged to a JerkJock who has fathered bastards in the Vale.
* HotGuysAreBastards: He's quite easy on the eyes, as [[spoiler:Alayne/Sansa]] notes fondly. However she quickly reminds herself that [[spoiler:Joffrey was handsome as well]] and this reflection about not judging one about his looks comes handy as soon as Harry speaks.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He is ''appalled'' about [[spoiler:having to marry a 'bastard']] despite fathering several bastards and admitting it quite freely.
* JerkJock: His behavior reminisces this trope. "Justified" because he's handsome and badass RoyalBrat in a setting that nurtures this kind of behavior. Although even if his displeasure for a match shoved onto his throat is somewhat understandable, callous comments about one of his bastards' mother indicate he indeed is a JerkAss at heart.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Littlefinger argues that there are actually multiple families in the Vale that have varying degrees of blood connection to the Arryns; Harry, however, happens to be the heir that Lord Jon ''chose''.
* MissingMom: His mother died [[DeathByChildbirth shortly after giving birth to him]].
* ReallyGetsAround: Despite being only a teenager, he has already fathered a bastard daughter on a serving wench and has another one, from the daughter of a rich spice merchant, on the way.
* ShedTheFamilyName: There is the possibility that if he comes to gain the seat of the Vale, he will change his last name to Arryn because of tradition, Jon Arryn's original plans for his heirs to carry the family name, and his Hardyng last name being from a considerably lower berth than the Arryns. Harry happens to be an Arryn from his mother's side.
* UnexpectedSuccessor: He is shaping to be one. He's the descendant of a poor marriage by an Arryn woman who unexpectedly is the only extant relative of House Arryn left after little Robert.
