Game of Thrones: History and Geography of House Wydman


House Wydman is a noble house from the Vale of Arryn. It blazons its arms with 5 splintered lances, 3-2, striped blue and white with blue pennons, on yellow, beneath a white chief bearing a red castle, a green viper, a black broken wheel, a purple unicorn and a yellow lion. Its words are "Right Conquers Might.”

History
House Wydman derives from a tourney in which the founder of the house bested five knights from the Vale and the Westerlands. The arms of the defeated, which are displayed above the five broken lances of the Wydmans, suggest Houses Redfort, Lynderly, Waynwood, Brax, and Lannister.
