Kingsgrave

Seat of House Manwoody

A mountain seat named for a king slain at its gates.

The fuller tale

Kingsgrave stands high in the Prince's Pass with the bleakest name and the cheerfulest lords in the Red Mountains — House Manwoody, whose banners carry a crowned white skull on black in open commemoration of the king their seat is named for: a crowned invader, the tales say, slain at their gates, his rank no help at the altitude. The Manwoodys are that Dornish paradox, a family of wits and courtiers holding a fortress of grim purpose; their sons turn up at Sunspear's court and in princes' escorts, quick with a jape, while their castle goes on doing what it was built for — reminding traffic in the pass that Dorne buried a king once and kept the receipt.

The fallen of this place — if any, they are named here. Spoilers.

No death the chronicle records has come to this ground — or none the maesters have set down.
