In the books[]
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the Carons are a loyal vassal house to House Baratheon of Storm's End. The Carons claim to be the oldest of the marcher lords, a claim disputed by House Swann.
Lord Bryce Caron, son of the late Bryen Caron, is a respected warrior. He has a bastard brother, Ser Rolland Storm, who is called the Bastard of Nightsong.
Bryce Caron, not Davos, was the one who dissuaded Stannis from taking Melisandre to the Battle of the Blackwater, claiming that people would say Stannis owed the crown to her spells. In the battle, Bryce was killed in single combat by Ser Philip Foote. His lands, titles and incomes were granted to Ser Philip by the king.

Notes[]
- ↑ In "Winter Is Coming," which takes place in 298 AC, Sansa Stark tells Cersei Lannister that she is 13 years old and Bran Stark tells Jaime Lannister that he is 10 years old. Arya Stark was born between Sansa and Bran, making her either 11 or 12 in Season 1. The rest of the Stark children have been aged up by 2 years from their book ages, so it can be assumed that she is 11 in Season 1. Arya is 18 in Season 8 according to HBO, which means at least 7 years occur in the span of the series; therefore, each season of Game of Thrones must roughly correspond to a year in-universe, placing the events of Season 2 in 299 AC.
