House Lefford is one of the principle houses sworn to House Lannister of Casterly Rock. Their seat is the Golden Tooth. The head of the house at the start of the novels is Lord Leo Lefford. They emblazon their banners with a golden inverted pile on a sky-blue field, a yellow sun in the first.
History[]
House Lefford was formed by the union of an andal warlord and a woman of the First Men. As such they have duel heritage. They presumably came under the control of the Lannisters when King Cerion Lannister conquered the lands of the Golden Tooth.
House Lefford sided with the Greens during the Dance of the Dragons. Lord Lefford commanded the Lannister contingent, but they made slow progress due to his old age and infirmity. He was killed during the Battle by the Lakeshore.
During the First Blackfyre Rebellion, House Lefford followed their overlords in staying loyal to House Targaryen. Lord Lefford was killed by Ser Quentyn Ball during a battle fought outside Lannisport.
