House Fossoway of New Barrel is the green-apple cadet branch of House Fossoway, sworn to the Tyrells of Highgarden and seated at New Barrel in the Reach. They bear a green apple on a field of gold; their motto has not been recorded in the chronicles. The line begins at the tourney at Ashford Meadow in 209 AC, where Ser Raymun Fossoway, newly knighted on the morning of the trial of seven by Lyonel Baratheon, Lord of Storm's End, broke with his cousin Ser Steffon Fossoway, heir to Cider Hall, and rode instead for his friend Ser Duncan the Tall. To set himself apart from Steffon on the field, Raymun painted his shield's apple green, throwing Steffon's old jape that he was "still green" back at him with the answer that he would sooner be green than rotten. New Barrel and the green apple grew up around that day.
In the War of the Five Kings the green apples joined Renly Baratheon at Bitterbridge, where Lady Catelyn Stark was seated at the feast between Lord Mathis Rowan and the genial Ser Jon Fossoway. After Renly's death they turned with their red-apple kin to Stannis, and Ser Jon rode in the van that approached King's Landing under his banners. At the Battle of the Blackwater the freerider Lothor Brune cut his way through half a hundred Fossoway men-at-arms to take Jon prisoner, slaying Sers Bryan and Edwyd of the red apple at his side and winning the byname Lothor Apple-Eater; Jon was one of the highborn captives who bent the knee to King Joffrey after the city was relieved.
By A Feast for Crows Lady Janna Fossoway, sister to Lord Mace Tyrell of Highgarden and wife to Ser Jon, was among Queen Margaery's companions in King's Landing, hawking with her in the Kingswood. Lady Jeyne Fossoway, of uncertain descent within the green-apple line, is wed to Ser Gunthor Hightower, and Lady Leonette Fossoway, Lady of Brightwater Keep through her husband Ser Garlan Tyrell, is reckoned by the heralds to be of either the green or the red branch. Brienne of Tarth spotted the green apple among the badges collected from the dead after the battle at Duskendale. The Night's Watchman Ser Arnell is the son of an unnamed green-apple Fossoway, and Ser Derrick "the Bad Apple", of either this branch or its parent, was a member of the Band of Nine that loosed the War of the Ninepenny Kings upon the realm.
