𝑴𝒐𝒕𝒕𝒐: "Listen Carefully"

𝑺𝒊𝒈𝒊𝒍: A red fox in a circle of blue flowers on ermine (Ermine, a fox gules within an annulet of flowers azure)

𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒕𝒔: Members of House Florent tend to have prominent ears.

House Florent is one of the many noble Houses sworn to House Tyrell of Highgarden. Descended from Garth Greenhand by his daughter Florys the Fox, House Florent boasts a superior claim to Highgarden by their close blood ties to the House Gardener, the extinct Kings of the Reach.

During Aegon's Conquest, House Florent followed their liege, King Mern IX Gardener, in taking up arms against Aegon the Conqueror during the Field of Fire.

After the battle, when King Mern and his sons burned and the Gardeners' line ended, Aegon named the Tyrells as Lord Paramount of the Reach, despite the Florents possessing a superior claim by their blood ties to the Kings of the Reach.

House Florent was among the great houses of the Reach that bitterly complained about being made vassals of the Tyrells and insisted that their blood was nobler than that of the "upjumped stewards". Their protests were denied by King Aegon I, perhaps because the Florents had fought House Targaryen when the Tyrells did not.

WHY SELYSE FLORENT SHOULD BE QUEEN OF WESTEROS WITH TEXTUAL PROOF

It is once again time to recline and ponder the many gifts of Queen Selyse Florent. Over the course of five books, what other character has had such an illustrious career so full of achievement or lived a life so dazzling and rewarding? As the fiscal year draws to a close we can see that so much of Westeros owes thanks to Selyse and House Florent for keeping it real and being classy and lots of other stuff. You may think the Tyrells are smart and competent but that’s just fraudulent fraud from Highgarden.

I want to post of a few key passages that best demonstrate why Selyse Florent, mother of foxes, is so well-suited to the title of Queen.

1.

”Yes,” Lady Selyse agreed. “Patches’s helm. It suits you well, old man. Put it on again, I command you.” And I will serve you to the last, my sweet queen, Cressen thought, for suddenly he saw the way. “Thank you, Your Grace,” he intoned, bowing low. “I never realized until now how much I needed your discerning and fashionable eye. This helm enhances my style very much and I never would have had the confidence to express myself without you.”

2.

”Joffrey shall die,” Queen Selyse declared, serene in her confidence. Davis saw that her confidence was well-earned, with her regal poise and her flawless hair. He suddenly felt ashamed for being such a hater and decided that from now on, he would obey her without question.

3.

Queen Selyse pursed her lips. “Lord Snow, as Lady Val is a stranger to our ways, please send her to me, that I might instruct her in the duties of a noble lady toward her lord husband.” That will go splendidly, I know. Jon knew that Val looked up to Queen Selyse and was always hoping to have her be a mentor figure. “As you wish,” he said, “though if I might speak freely—” “No, I think not. Now you may sashay away.” Jon Snow bent his knee, bowed his head, withdrew. He knew that Selyse shouldn’t be disturbed because she was about to go give away free cars to a bunch of her fans.

Más tarde le enseña el arpa alta a Sansa Stark.

Leonette y Garlan asisten a la boda de Sansa con Tyrion Lannister. Al darse cuenta de la profunda tristeza de Sansa por el matrimonio, Leonette le expresa sus preocupaciones a su esposo, quien trata de calmar los temores de Sansa de casarse con Tyrion. Ella y Garlan luego asisten a la boda real del rey Joffrey Baratheon y Margaery, sentados en la mesa alta junto a Sansa y Tyrion. Leonette bromea con Garlan y Tyrion a expensas de los cantantes.

Lady Leonette Fossoway is the wife of Ser Garlan Tyrell. She is a noblewoman of House Fossoway, though it is unclear which branch of the family she is from.

Leonette is dainty and bright-eyed. She plays the high harp.

Lady Leonette is among Margaery Tyrell's retinue when she comes to King's Landing. Margaery introduces Leonette to Sansa Stark over dinner in the Maidenvault. For his valor during the Battle of the Blackwater, Garlan is granted the lordship of Brightwater Keep, making Leonette the Lady of Brightwater Keep. She later teaches the high harp to Sansa Stark.

Leonette and Garlan attend Sansa's wedding to Tyrion Lannister. Noticing Sansa's deep sadness over the marriage, Leonette expresses her concerns to her husband, who tries to assuage Sansa's fears about marrying Tyrion. Her and Garlan later attend the royal wedding of King Joffrey Baratheon and Margaery, seated at the high table next to Sansa and Tyrion. Leonette jests with Garlan and Tyrion at the expense of the singers.
