When House Hoare later invaded the Riverlands, Lady Agnes Blackwood led the defence. The river lords rejected the prospect of being ruled by Shiera Blackwood, Roderick's daughter, and Arlan added the area to his own kingdom. Roderick was killed in the Battle of Six Kings. Storm King Arlan III Durrandon aided Lord Roderick Blackwood in rebelling against the rule of King Humfrey I Teague. After the end of House Justman, the Blackwoods were among the petty kings that fought for dominance within The Riverlands. The Blackwoods accuse the Brackens of poisoning the weirwood of Raventree Hall.īenedict Rivers was a bastard born of both houses, and eventually became King Benedict I Justman. House Bracken converted to the Faith of the Seven afterwards, whilst House Blackwood stayed loyal to the Old Gods. The Blackwoods and the Brackens allied together against the Andal Invasion, but were defeated at the Battle of the Bitter River. They say that the Brackens attacked them five hundred years before the arrival of the Andals. The Blackwoods say that their lands were once attacked by House Bracken, who had been petty lords and horse breeders. Ancient traditions within the house state that they once ruled the majority of the Wolfswood, but were driven from The North by the Kings of Winter, which is supported by the runic translations of Maester Barneby. The Blackwoods are an ancient house of First Men origin.
