House Corbray

House Corbray is a noble house of the Vale. They rule from their seat at Heart's Home. They currently hold possession of the Valyrian Steel sword Lady Forlorn.

Andal Invasion
The Corbrays were an Andal house during the Andal invasion. Corwyn Corbray conquered the Fingers by defeating Houses Brightstone and Shell, claiming for himself the title of Lord of the Five Fingers. When the First Men began to unite against the Andals, King Robar II Royce slew Qyle Corbray, King of the Fingers. The Corbrays claim that Ser Jaime Corbray killed Robar in the battle of the Seven Stars

Targaryen Dynasty
During the reign of King Aegon I Targaryen, Ser Gawen Corbray was chosen by Queen Visenya Targaryen as master-at-arms for her son, Prince Maegor, on Dragonstone, on his reputation as one of the fiercest warriors of his day.

Ser Corwyn Corbray was named a regent in 134 AC, during the regency of the young king, Aegon III Targaryen. He was killed by a crossbowman at Runestone that same year[6] when confronting Lord Royce, who supported Ser Arnold Arryn instead of Lady Jeyne's chosen heir, Ser Joffrey Arryn. The Corbrays subsequently supported Ser Joffrey's claim in the war of succession in the Vale.

During the First Blackfyre Rebellion, Ser Gwayne Corbray of the Kingsguard was part of the loyalist forces that fought Daemon Blackfyre at the battle of the Redgrass Field. They dueled for nearly an hour, their Valyrian steel swords Blackfyre and Lady Forlorn clashing loudly. At last, Blackfyre struck Gwayne's helm and left him blind and bleeding. Daemon dismounted to tend to his foe and ordered Redtusk to carry Gwayne back to the maesters for healing, an action that afterwards some considered decisive, since it gave the Raven's Teeth enough time to find a good position to fire the arrows that killed Daemon.

When the clansmen formed a coalition in 270 AC and began to raid several large settlements of the Vale, Lord Corbray and Lord Hunter led a force of knights, intent of hunting them down. They ended up being ambushed in a valley of the Mountains of the Moon in 271 AC. They were defeated and had to flee, with many knights falling to the savages.

Recent Events
After the death of Benedar Corbray in 271 AC and His eldest son falling soon thereafter, there was a time of uncertainty remaining around the House. It was only until his 16th nameday that things began once more looking Up for the old House. But the current Lord is unique for his House, being more Spymaster and shrewd than Warrior. Currently, he finds himself as Uncle to the Lord of the Eyrie and located Just there.
