House Spicer

House Spicer is a noble House of the Westerlands, holding the castle and lands of Castamere, previously held by House Reyne. Hpuse Spicer was founded in 299 AC, where Ser Rolph Spicer was landed by Tywin Lannister due to his part in the Red Wedding. Famously ruined by Tywin Lannister when he wiped out the Reynes, the Spicers took on the task of restoring Castamere to its previous glory. This was completed by its current Lord, Lancel Spicer.

Founding and The Second Conquest
Ser Rolph Spicer came from a family of merchants, his father elevated to the status of knight by Tytos Lannister. The family's wealth grew to the point where they were able to marry their daughter, Sybell Spicer, to Gawen Westerling.

During the War of the Five Kings, Ser Rolph served as Castellan of the Crag, House Westerling's seat. When Robb Stark stormed the Crag, he was left wounded, tended to by Ser Rolph's niece, Jeyne Westerling. The two soon eloped. Following this, Tywin Lannister contacted Ser Rolph and his sister Sybelle. Together with House Frey and Roose Bolton, they conducted the Red Wedding. For his participation, Ser Rolph was named a Lord and granted Castamere.

Now Lord, Rolph took up residence in Castamere, and began its restorations, bringing his family with him; his wife came from a fellow merchant family of Lannisport, and had given him several children, including their eldest, Tybolt Spicer. Meanwhile, Lord Rolph's cousin Ser Samwell Spicer was stationed in the Riverlands. All changed with the arrival of Aegon in the Stormlands. When King's Landing fell, many Westermen forces returned home but, knowing their House was tied to Lannister due to their dishonourable actions, Ser Samwell stayed in the Riverlands, only to die in the fighting with the Golden Company and River lords.

In the aftermath of the war, Rolph Spicer was tried, found guilty and sent to the Wall. However, his son Tybolt was innocent of any crime, and inherited Castamere at the age of 15, in 301 AC.
