I have been wondering about something that you might have a line on: where do Kevan Lannister’s incomes come from? We know he holds no lands and that probably includes mines. There are also no banks in Westeros so it’s unlikely he is collecting interest from a deposit in the Iron Bank. And yet, he has enough regular income to maintain 200 household knights and double that number if needed. It can’t all be chests of coin hoarded up. Where is his money coming from?

They could be from almost anything: the right to farm taxes in a given area, a percentage on Lannisport harbor fees, a part-share in a mine, some urban real estate, or they could be straight-up pensions.
