Maidenpool, seat of house Mooton

[Alexandrine]

House Mooton.
Wisdom and Strenght.

The Mootons were petty kings in the days of the First Men. The Storm King Monfryd the Mighty defeated a Mooton king and conquered Maidenpool prior to the Andal invasion. King Florian the Brave was killed by Andals in the Fall of Maidenpool. The Mootons of Maidenpool were within the domains of Kings Benedict I Justman and King Torrence Teague, although the riverlands eventually passed first to the Storm Kings under King Arlan III Durrandon and then to House Hoare under King Harwyn Hardhand. Maidenpool historically failed to conquer Crackclaw Point.
During the War of Conquest Lord Mooton joined Lord Darklyn in opposing Aegon the Conqueror, but both were slain fighting against Aegon's dragons and Orys Baratheon. Lord Mooton's brother, Jon Mooton, then yielded to Aegon. Jon supported the Targaryens in the Field of Fire, slaying men who tried to escape the dragons.
The Mootons began the Dance of the Dragons on the side of Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen and the blacks. Lord Walys Mooton recaptured Rook's Rest for the blacks, but was then slain in a failed attempt to kill King Aegon II Targaryen's dragon, Sunfyre. His brother, Lord Manfryd Mooton, hosted the dragonriders Prince Daemon Targaryen and the dragonseed Nettles, for a time. Manfryd aligned with Aegon and the greens after refusing Rhaenyra's order to kill Nettles. Rhaenyra ordered that a decree of attainder be drawn up against the Mootons, but she soon lost power after the Storming of the Dragonpit.[8] Manfryd served as a regent for King Aegon III Targaryen until his death in 134 AC.
When Lord Bloodraven marched on Whitewalls to quash the Second Blackfyre Rebellion, among the river lords who came in support was Lord Mooton.

Maidenpool is a town in the eastern riverlands situated along the southern shore of the Bay of Crabs. It is the seat of House Mooton. The town takes its name from the pool where the legendary Florian the Fool first spied Jonquil bathing with her sisters. The castle at Maidenpool sits on a hill, and the town is walled. Maidenpool has a busy harbor and pink stone walls. Fisherfolk northwest of Maidenpool fish the waters in leather coracles, while others collect clams. The town has a tavern called the Stinking Goose and numerous inns, including one near the Fool's Gate. It also has a tower called Jonquil's Tower.

The town hosted the tourney for King Viserys I's accession ca. 104 AC and the tourney at Maidenpool in 207 AC. Ser Barristan Selmy was the victor in the mêlée at Maidenpool during the reign of King Aerys II Targaryen.

281 AC , days after the tourney of Harrenhall.

All at Maidenpool castle agreed that the Tourney of Harrenhal was its greatest of its time. It was magnificent and beautiful. All noble families in het land were represented, all the great and het good of Westeros were present at its tourney. Even the King, the Prince and the princess were present. This all was fairly uncommon and so it was a delight for the members of house Mooton to be able to be present too.
Especially because the prize of the tournament - the maiden daughter of Lord Whent, Lady Dana was promised in marriage to Lord Mathos Mooton. He and Lord Whent discussed and finalised a proposal in which there would take place a double wedding ceremony in the near future in which Lord Mathos and Lady Dana Whent would be married at the same time as Duncan Whent, Lord Whent's heir, with Lady Florianne Mooton, the young cousin of Lord Mathos.
So when Lord Mathos rode into the competition, he only wore the favour of Lady Dana, as he wanted to make his new lady wife proud. But the Seven had cursed the faith of the celebrated lord Mathos Mooton, the champion of the people. On the sixth day of the tourney, Lord Mathos unexpectedly died in a joust.

This left his young cousin Lady Florianne to be the next ruler of Maidenpool. Which was highly conversational. As the maester remarked that Maidenpool had never been ruled by a Maiden. Florainne, immediately dubbed; The Maid of Maidenpool and Florianne the Maid, was a 13 year old maiden. She was slender of figure; with blonde, curly hair and light features with freckles over her snub nose. Freshly flowered she was and promised to the heir of Harrenhall.
She still was adjusting to the prospect of becoming the Lady of Harrenhall one day, but the shock of becoming the lady of Maidenpool first drove the girl crazy and was struck by grief. The whole notion about Rhaegar and Lyanna Stark was mostly missed by her.
As she was an underaged girl; she was not deemed fit to rule just yet and her relatives decided to continue the plan which was laid out at Harrenhall, to educate her at Riverrun and prepare her for the role the Seven had given her.

Servants had been busy the whole day, Florianne would leave for Riverrun today. So her cloths were packed and Rosamund Rivers, her baseborn cousin was selected as her companion to escort the girl to Riverrun. She was planted on a big horse. She kissed her aunts, brother and cousins goodbye. Tears run down her cheek when she was sitting silently on her horse. With her hand she sought the comfort of Rosamund. She looked around the courtyard with all its familiarities and she wished that she could stay. She was a lady now; but still everybody controlled her life but herself.

Only the Crone knew when she would return to this place. She feared the worst. May the Father have mercy upon me, she thought when her party rode out of the gates.
