House Justman was a noble house from the
riverlands who ruled as Kings of the Trident (or Kings of the Rivers and the
Hills). According to semi-canon sources they blazoned their arms with golden
scales on white, a double tressure blue.
History
House Justman was founded after the Andal
invasion by Benedict Rivers, a bastard from Houses Blackwood and Bracken. Over
a period of thirty years Benedict managed to defeat the petty kings of the
Trident, after which he crowned himself. As he was a wise king who came to be
known as Benedict the Just, his house became known as House Justman. King
Benedict I Justman extended his domains to Maidenpool and the Neck, while his
son Benedict II acquired Duskendale, Rosby, and the mouth of the Blackwater
Rush.
The Justmans ruled for almost three hundred
years, but King Bernarr II was the last of the line. Qhored Hoare, the King of
the Iron Islands, murdered Bernarr's sons in the Guest Keep of Pyke, known
afterward as the Bloody Keep. Bernarr's campaign against the ironborn was
hopeless, and the riverlands fell into anarchy for a century after the fall of
the Justmans.
After the Storm King Arlan III Durrandon
conquered the riverlands, various pretenders unsuccessfully claimed to be river
kings. One such was Lucifer Justman, although his lineage with the Justmans is
unconfirmed.
