House Rushing

House Rushing of Highgarden is one of the oldest of the Great Houses of Westeros. The head is the Lord Paramount of The Reach, Lord of Highgarden and Protector of the South. House Rushing is the former ruling house in Westeros. The current head of House Rushing is Lord Emmon VII Rushing.

During the reign of Queen Maya I Rushing, the cadet branch House Castor became the ruling house, due to her marriage to Ryse I Castor.

Background
House Rushing had been around for centuries before there was a King. Over 500 years ago, there was much fighting and many houses were declaring war on each other. So the Great Houses all met together to elect a King to rule over all the regions. Lord Emmon I Rushing was elected King, and built the city of King's Landning, the Red Keep and the Iron Throne, where he ruled for 30 more years.
