"House Florent, who had actual blood ties to the Gardeners. They whinge about their ancient rights to Highgarden every once in a while; and now that their daughter is married to Stannis Baratheon, about their rights to all of Westeros, too. Apparently, putting a fox on your banners doesn't impart a fox's wiles."
Margaery Tyrell[src]

House Florent[1] of Brightwater Keep is a vassal house that holds fealty to Lord Bronn of Highgarden. The Florent sigil is a red-gold fox on an ermine background.

House Florent had close ties to House Gardener when they were the Kings of the Reach prior to Aegon's Conquest. House Tyrell were installed as Wardens of the South after King Mern IX Gardener was killed fighting Aegon the Conqueror. House Florent resents the elevation of House Tyrell and believe they have a more valid claim to the position.[2] They fought for Stannis Baratheon in the War of the Five Kings as Selyse Florent was the wife of Stannis.[3]

History[]

Game of Thrones: Season 1[]

The Florent sigil is present in the Tourney of the Hand.[4]

Game of Thrones: Season 2[]

House Florent follows their liege lords, House Tyrell, in pledging support to Renly Baratheon's claim to the Iron Throne. Following the Renly's death, however, the Florents do not follow their Tyrell overlords, but go over to Stannis, as Selyse Florent is the wife of Stannis.[5] They participate in the Battle of the Blackwater.[3]

In the books[]

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the Florents, like the Tyrells, claim descent from the extinct House Gardener, the royal line of the defunct Kings of the Reach. The Florents are known to chafe at the fealty owed to House Tyrell. The Florents believe that they have a superior line of descent, and by rights should possess Highgarden. While many Houses in the Reach can claim some descent from House Gardener, the Florents were a cadet branch of the Gardeners (descended from a younger son), while the Tyrells can only claim descent from the Gardeners through the female line. Physically, Florents are known for having large and prominent ears.

The heraldry of House Florent in the books is inconsistently described, but apparently consists of a red-gold fox's head, encircled by lapis lazuli flowers, all of which is on an ermine background. The TV version simply omits the lapis lazuli flowers (and predominantly shows a full-bodied fox).

During the War of the Five Kings, the Florents initially declare for Renly Baratheon along with the rest of the noble Houses in the Reach, but following the latter's assassination, they defy the Tyrells and join Stannis Baratheon, becoming one of the few Houses of the Reach not to join their Tyrell overlords in switching their allegiance to House Lannister.
