Upper Class Twits: The very definition.Two First Names: "Florent" is the masculine equivalent of Florence and is common in France.The Starscream: To House Tyrell, having only reluctantly followed them in supporting Renly and jumping ship to Stannis the first chance they got.The Squire: Merrell Florent is currently serving as a squire at the Arbor for House Redwyne.Smug Snake: Another running theme among many, if not all, the Florents is that they are oh so very arrogant.The Resenter: Florents consider themselves to have a better claim to Highgarden than the Tyrells as they descend from House Gardener through the male line and not the female line like the Tyrells.He died of injuries sustained from falling off a horse at some point before the series began. Posthumous Character: Ser Ryam, the father of Imry, Selyse, and Erren.Obnoxious In-Laws: Whenever Stannis refers to his annoyance towards the nobility in Westeros, a great degree is due to his interactions with his Florent in-laws.Non-Promotion: They are technically Stannis' royal family but this has brought them very little perks on paper they are supposedly on the same level as the Tyrells at the moment but no one is losing any sleep on their account, as they are still broke and homeless.Other than being reluctant supporters by his marriage to Selyse Florent, to Stannis they are just numbers in his ranks. Other than that, they would just return to being ugly with a mapped bloodline. Impoverished Patrician: After their lands and patrimony are seized by the Tyrells for siding with Stannis.Heroic Lineage: They are said to be descended from Florys the Fox, a daughter of Garth Greenhand who had three husbands who did not known of each other and fathered the founders of Houses Florent, Ball, and Peake.Famous Ancestor: Ser Jon and Aladore Florent were present at the Ashford's Tourney. Alekyne Florent, the heir to House Florent, is currently seeking refuge in Oldtown. The Exile: Due to supporting Stannis, House Florent has been attainted, with House Tyrell being given Brightwater Keep to start a new cadet house with Garlan Tyrell as head.Defiant to the End: One unnamed Florent bastard is captured by Joffrey's forces at the Blackwater, and instead of swearing fealty he declares Stannis the rightful king and Joffrey a bastard in both meanings of the word before Joffrey has Ser Ilyn Payne behead him.Cunning Like a Fox: Oh so Averted: they may have a fox as their sigil, but their arrogance and stupidity screw over nearly every single "cunning" plan they make.Even though they still have those ears, neither wear sneers. Subverted by the half-Florents Shireen Baratheon (she is innocence incarnate) and Edric Storm (an energetic little charmer). Not only are they unpleasant people as a whole, they are generally fairly unpleasant-looking, too (all sneers and ears). Beauty Equals Goodness: Defied or inverted a lot of the time.Their sigil is a red-gold fox's head encircled by lapis lazuli flowers. They have since been stripped from their lands and titles by Tywin Lannister. While initially siding with Renly Baratheon in the War of Five Kings, they switched allegiance over to Stannis Baratheon, whose wife Selyse was born a Florent. Their seat is Brightwater Keep, situated on the Honeywine River. The Florents have long believed that they should rule Highgarden as Wardens of the South, not House Tyrell, who only descend from the Gardeners through the female line. House Florent is an ancient house in the Reach with heavy blood ties to House Gardener, the Kings of the Reach.
