House Florent

House Florent of Brightwater Keep is a noble house from Brightwater Keep in the Reach, one of the main houses sworn to House Tyrell. Their sigil is a red fox in a circle of blue flowers on ermine. Members of the House are known for their prominent ears.

History
According to legend, the Florents, the Balls, and the Peakes descend from the three husbands of Florys the Fox.

The Florents, like the Tyrells, claim descent from the extinct House Gardener, the defunct Kings of the Reach. The Florents have a superior line of descent, and believe that they, by right, should possess Highgarden.

Three years before the start of the tourney at Ashford Meadow, Ser Arlan and Dunk were in service to Lord Florent, who was blind. The Florent arms were spotted by Dunk in the assembled heraldry at the tourney. Ser Aladore Florent and Ser Jon Florent were listed on the rolls. According to Ser Eustace Osgrey, maids of House Osgrey used to marry members of House Florent.

Lord Tywin Lannister offered his son Tyrion for marriage to Delena Florent after she had been despoiled by King Robert I Baratheon. Instead, her father, Ser Colin Florent, married her to one of his knights, Hosman Norcross.
