House Vance of Harrenhal

House Vance of Atranta is one of the three great branches of House Vance in The Riverlands, the other two being House Vance of Atranta and House Vance of Wayfarer's Rest.

Bryndemere Vance is the Lord of Harrenhal, married to the last of the Harrenhal Vances, Cassana Vance, granddaughter of the former Hand of the King, Perceon Vance.

History
King Aenar I Targaryen elevated Ser Peremore to the Lordship of Harrenhal in the year 335 AC for his role in the War in the Narrows, particularly for bringing down the dragon Leviathan and saving the King's life. As Ser Peremore was married to Lady Melesa Lothston, a cousin of the late Lord Jon Lothston of Harrenhal, he chose a sigil for his new line that paid respects to both Houses.

In 338 AC, Patrek Vance led House Vance's forces against the Ironborn during the Fourth War of the Kraken.

The Mead Summer was a time of prosperity for Harrenhal and its vassals, and an auspicious inauguration for the rule of Lord Patrek Vance. Knights of House Vance competed in the Blackwater Tourney, and House Vance hosted a tournament at Harrenhal in 355 AC to commemorate the life and deeds of Peremore Vance.

House Vance hosted Prince Aenys at Harrenhal during the Royal Tour in 360 AC.

In 366 AC, House Vance once again raised its banners against the Ironborn and Lord Patrek Vance led troops at the Battle of Seagard during the Half-Blood Incursion.

In 379 AC, House Vance attended the Kingswood Tourney. Perceon Vance remained in the capital as the squire of Prince Viserys Targaryen.

The Great Famine struck the Riverlands hard. Perceon Vance used the connections he'd gained during his time in the capital to do what he could to alleviate the misery in his lands, straining House Vance's finances.

In 398 AC, House Vance forces under the command of Ser Perceon Vance depart with Riverlands forces for the Stepstones to fight in the War of the Three Thieves.

The Scarlet Winter struck Harrenhal hard, claiming the life of Perwyn Vance in 402 and his wife Roslyn the following year in 403 AC.

In 405 AC, Lord Perceon Vance becomes Hand of the King.

In 407 AC, King Aenar I Targaryen declares a Grand Tournament to be held at Harrenhal to celebrate the return of the Red Comet.

Recent Events
Lord Perceon Vance passes in 437 AC. Bryndemere Vance of Atranta marries his granddaughter, Cassana, and becomes Lord of Harrenhal, saving the Vance of Harrenhal line.
