History[]

House Swann is an old noble house, regarded as proud, powerful and cautious. They have governed their lands for as long as any can remember. From Stonehelm they control the Slayne, a major river route inland to the stormlands, gaining them much wealth and power. They are probably the second most powerful and influential family in the Stormlands, after the Baratheons. The Swanns and Carons both claim to be the oldest of the marcher lords.

During the Dance of the Dragons, Ser Byron Swann was killed by Syrax or Vhagar.

Lord Swann's fool was the one who named Matarys Targaryen "the even younger Prince". Lord Gawen Swann competed in the tourney at Ashford Meadow as an old man, losing to Prince Valarr Targaryen. Gawen ignored Dunk's direct request to join him in the trial of seven. Ser Eustace Osgrey boasted that in the past members of important families married Osgreys, citing the Swanns as one of the examples.

Ser Barristan Selmy squired for Ser Manfred Swann as a boy. Barristan later rescued Lady Jeyne Swann and her septa from the Kingswood Brotherhood.
