House Swann of Stonehelm is one of the primary noble houses of the stormlands. They are marcher lords ruling from Stonehelm over the lands surrounding the Red Watch on Cape Wrath in the eastern Dornish Marches. They blazon their arms with argent and sable a swan counter charged.
!!!Tropes related to House Swann:
* DamselInDistress: Jeyne Swann, who was captured by the Kingswood Brotherhood alongside her septa. Their rescue by Ser Barristan Selmy is one of his many famous deeds.
* FamousAncestor: Ser Byron Swann, a knight who lived during the Dance of the Dragons. According to ''The Dance of the Dragons, A True Telling'' by Grand Maester Munkan, Byron tried to slay the dragon Vhagar by polishing his shield into a mirror to reflect back Vhagar's image so he could get close and kill him, much as the legendary Serwyn of the Mirror Shield famously did to the dragon Urrax. However, Tyrion Lannister notes that this makes little sense, since Vhagar was Prince Aemond Targaryen's dragon and the Swanns were supporters of Aemond's brother Aegon II. Instead, Tyrion notes that Byron attempted this against Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen's dragon Syrax, which is supported by Byron's squire recording that the knight died fighting Syrax.
* PunnyName: Their surname.
!!Lord Gulian Swann
The Lord of Stonehelm and head of House Swann. He is well past forty, which he uses as an excuse to stay at Stonehelm.
----
* NiceToTheWaiter: When Davos approaches several lords to get them to join Stannis, Lord Gulian agrees to meet with him as a courtesy despite refusing to join Stannis, which is far politer than how many of the lords responded to Davos request.
* PlayingSick: To remain in his castle instead of marching to join his liege lords.
