House Caulfield[1][a] is a noble house from Westeros.
History[]
Game of Thrones: Season 5[]
Sam presents some paperwork to Lord Commander Jon Snow consisting of requests to various noble Houses to send new recruits to the Night's Watch. A few houses can spare any men during the War of the Five Kings, so the Watch is left scraping the bottom of the barrel: the requests are mostly to minor lords that Jon says he hasn't even heard of, including Lady Caulfield.[1]
Members[]
- Lady Caulfield, head of the house.
Behind the scenes[]
Just as the "House Mazin" and "House Wibberley" mentioned in the same scene are inside references (to the showrunners' friends Craig Mazin and the scriptwriters Cormac and Marianne Wibberley respectively), the name - and specifically the fact that it is a Lady Caulfield - is apparently a reference to one of the TV series's producers, Bernadette Caulfield.
In the books[]
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, there is no mention of any House Caulfield. The episode itself makes a joke about this when Jon Snow remarks that he has "never even heard of these people".
