House Merryweather of Longtable
General Information
Their motto is, “Behold Our Bounty.” A rich Lord Merryweather, famous for his feasts and frolics, was Aerys’s Hand after Tywin Lannister, but his failure to deal with Robert Baratheon’s uprising led to his being stripped of lands and titles and sent into exile, where he died. Longtable and some of the family lands were restored by Robert, but the family’s wealth was much reduced. Lord Orton Merryweather, grandson to Aerys’s Hand, is the current lord of the house and is wed to Taena of Myr. They have one son, Russell.
Spoilers
Lady Taena was among those ladies who accompanied the soon-to-be Queen Margaery to King’s Landing. Both Lord Orton and she were at the wedding feast where King Joffrey died. Lady Taena later testified that she had witnessed Tyrion Lannister place something into Joffrey’s cup.
