Behind the scenes[]
George R.R. Martin uses a turtle as his personal sigil, having kept turtles as pets when he was a child.[6]
In the audio commentary track for "Fire and Blood", D.B. Weiss revealed that they cut the flag for House Estermont because "we cut the turtle out, we didn't want to see a turtle."
In the books[]
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Lady Cassana had many siblings including two brothers. The elder, Lord Eldon Estermont, is about 70 years old and head of House Estermont, and the younger, Ser Lomas Estermont, has a son, Ser Andrew. Ser Andrew Estermont had previously been Stannis’s squire for numerous years.
The first time Cersei became aware of her husband's infidelity was when they repaid a visit to the Estermonts. she was miserable the entire fortnight they spent with the Estermonts while Robert enjoyed hunting, hawking, drinking, and play fighting with his maternal uncles and male cousins. He also took to reconnecting and comforting a female cousin, whose father and husband died in the Siege of Storm's End and eventually spent the night with her. That same night, Jaime offered to kill Robert, but Cersei said she wanted him "horned" instead. She likes to think that was the night when her son Joffrey was conceived.
Following the Battle of the Blackwater, Lord Eldon bends the knee to King Joffrey, though some members of House Estermont remain loyal to Stannis.

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.
