- "We were now responsible for aiding the Mallisters at Seagard against the pouting Ironborn whenever they got... cheeky."
- ―Ser Brynden Tully about House Mallister
House Mallister[1] of Seagard is a vassal house that holds fealty to House Tully of Riverrun. Their lands are north of Riverrun, along the west coast of the Riverlands on Ironman's Bay and southwest of the Twins. The castle, Seagard, is near the headwaters of the Blue Fork of the Trident River.
The Mallisters are longstanding enemies of the Ironborn, as Seagard was built as a defense against marauders from the Iron Islands.[2]
House Mallister's heraldry consists of a silver eagle on a blue field. Their house words are "Above the Rest."

In the books[]
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, House Mallister is one of House Tully's most loyal vassals. Lord Jason Mallister is noted as both a loyal vassal and also a close personal friend and ally of Lord Hoster Tully. During the Greyjoy Rebellion, the Mallisters defended Seagard from an ironborn assault. While the town and castle were damaged and severe casualties incurred, the ironborn suffered significant losses, with Lord Jason slaying Rodrik Greyjoy in personal combat.
Following the Red Wedding, Lord Jason is one of the few Riverlords, alongside Tytos Blackwood and Brynden Tully, who refuse to yield to the Iron Throne. However, after the Freys threaten to kill his son Patrek, he is forced to surrender.[8] Currently, he and his son are kept prisoners in his own castle.[9]
A slight change is that in the books their sigil is a silver eagle on a purple field, but in the TV series, the field is blue.
Members[]
- Lord Jason Mallister, the current head of the family. Currently held prisoner at Seagard.
- Ser Patrek Mallister, his eldest son and heir. Taken captive at the Red Wedding. Currently held prisoner at Seagard.
- Ser Denys Mallister, Lord Jason's elderly uncle, a member of the Night's Watch and the commander of the Shadow Tower.

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 3 in 300 AC.
