House Buckler of Bronzegate is a noble
house from Bronzegate in the stormlands sworn to Storm's End.

History
During Aegon's Conquest, Lords Buckler,
Errol, and Fell opposed Orys Baratheon during his march from the Aegonfort
toward Storm's End, but the storm lords were forced to retreat when Rhaenys
Targaryen had Meraxes set afire parts of what is now the southern kingswood.
At the beginning of the Dance of the
Dragons, Lord Buckler was executed in King's Landing for refusing to renounce
his oaths to Rhaenyra Targaryen. Lady Buckler and her two daughters drowned
when their ship sank in the Blackwater prior to the Maiden's Day Cattle Show.
Ser Barristan Selmy once defeated the
Bastard of Bronzegate, Cedrik Storm.
