Three Dogs’ Night
After the fall of the Mountain, his brother, Ser Sandor, became the Lord of Fang Tower. At that time he was serving as a personal bodyguard to Lord Paramount Tyrion of House Lannister and was present on the trials of both the Old Lion and the Mountain (the latter made him both very happy but at the same time very bitter, although it is rumoured that the Mountain was barely but alive after the trial and his brother was the one to end his life for good afterwards). While staying at the Red Keep, Ser Sandor met the personal bodyguard of the Queen (the one that was not wearing a white cloak), a former slave and a pit-fighter from Meereen, Lady Barsena. Violent people both, they quickly formed a friendship that grew into intimacy. And after the Mountain’s fall now Lord Sandor was free to do whatever, so he married his blackhaired paramour and they proceeded to have four sons and two daughters together.The fate finally caught up with Lord Sandor in the year 338AC as he perished at the age of seven-and-sixty while getting his people out of the fire that erupted in the castle’s kitchens. His beloved wife followed him four years later.
One of their daughters, the kind Lady Amarei, married Lord Raynald of House Swyft, the Lord of Cornfield. They had a son, future Lord Humfrey of Cornfield, and four daughters (all married and with issue).
Lord Sandor’s other daughter, Lady Parena, was not so lucky in marriage, She was married twice. Her first husband, Ser Harwyn of House Broom. was the heir apparent to the Lordship of Oxcross, but he unfortunately was taken by the tumour at the age of only one-and-thirty. Their son, Lord Tyrion, became Lord of Oxcross but died under very suspicious circumstances and the age of just seven-and-ten. Lady Parena’s second husband, coincidentally named Lord Sandor of House Charlton in the Riverlands, was also a widower and with children from his first wife. Nevertheless they had two daughters and a son together, although after the death of Lord Sandor (Charlton) at the age of just six-and-forty the Lordship of Mistlewood went to his son from his first marriage.
Lord Sandor’s (Clegane) second son, the strong Ser Walder, married for love. His wife was a lowborn woman named Amarya.
The marriage of Lady Cerissa, Ser Walder’s only daughter, is already discussed earlier in this chapter (see Ser Symon Pouncalot).
Lord Sandor’s third son, Ser Jon, also married for love. His wife was Rosalind of Fieldsview, daughter of a hedge knight in the service of Ser Jon’s father.
They had a son that they named after his grandsire. Ser Sandor the younger married Lady Jonara of House Roote, granddaughter of the Usurper through his bastard daughter Lady Bella Stonebell.
Their son, Ser Tommard, also married a commoner, but the poor woman died while carrying their second child. Ser Tommard remains unmarried.
His sister, Lady Melissa, married into House Westford. This marriage yet remains childless.
Lord Sandor’s last son, Ser Garth, chose to abandon his family name so another one would live on. He married Lady Falyse of House Vikary, the sister of the barren Lady Janei of Goldengrass Hills, and agreed that all the children would be of their mother’s House. They managed to produce two living children, a daughter (married, with issue) and a son, Ser Donnel of House Vikary, the heir to the Lordship of the Goldengrass Hills.
Lord Sandor’s brilliant firstborn, Lord Willam, succeeded him in the year 338AC. He, as his two other brothers, was married to a lowborn. The union resulted in two sons and two daughters.
Their oldest daughter, Lady Sherei, married the youngest son of Lord Paramount Tyrion. Their marriage was already covered in this chapter.
The youngest daughter, the Golden Hound Lady Corianne, married into House Westford. Her daughters are married into houses Kingslayer and Crakehall.
Lord Willam’s second son, Ser Maynard, was first married to Lady Jeona of House Stackhouse from the Reach. After her suspiciously early death at the age of just three-and-thirty, Ser Maynard went mad and is still not recovered, although he remarried to Lady Celyria of House Westford and managed to have a son with her.
His daughter, Lady Rohanne, married Lord of Branstone, a Riverlander on the Westerlands-Riverlands border. They have a son and two daughters. A strong and skilled opponent, Lady Rohanne serves as her husband’s master-at-arms.
Her brother, Ilyn, is married to Margon of House Prester. Poor girl lost her mind after witnessing her beloved father’s gruesome execution. The pair's only son is afraid of his own mother, and his father is rumoured to be equally terrified of her as well.
Lord Willam’s first son, Lord Tyrion, succeeded his father in the year 344AC. He was married to Lady Rohanne of House Crakehall.
Their first daughter married Ser Alyn of House Hogg, a legitimised second-born son of the late Lord of Sow’s Horn in the Crownlands.
The second daughter is married to a knight from House Blount in the Stormlands.
Lord Tyrion’s second son is just yet a boy, but his strength and height make people recall the name of the Mountain again, albeit in whispers.
Lord Tyrion’s oldest son and the current Lord of Fang Tower, Lord Philip, succeeded his father in the year 353AC. He is married to Lady Salene of House Inchfield. The pair has two living sons and a daughter.
