Sitting beside the kingsroad a day's ride north of King's Landing, Hayford is a modest castle set among farmland that helps supply the city. Travellers on the northern road pass directly beneath its walls.
House Hayford holds it of the Iron Throne. War has thinned the line badly, leaving an infant girl as Lady of Hayford and the castle in the keeping of others, a common enough fate for small crownlands houses seated close to the court.
