House Flint of Breakstone Hill

Before a single lord ruled the North, the Flints wore their own crown. They held Breakstone Hill as kings, not subjects, a standing that traces back to the First Men they descend from.

That rule ended when the Starks spread their authority over the region and reduced the old local kings to vassals. The Flints joined the web of lesser houses now sworn to Winterfell, and over time their allegiance also came to run through House Bolton.

Some trace this house back to the Clan Flint, the hill folk who call themselves the First Flints, as if the very name staked a claim to the antiquity the lords of Breakstone Hill take pride in. It is not a confirmed kinship, only a possibility that circulates among those who study the houses of the North.

Beyond that, little else is known of the house. No one can say for certain whether a Flint of Breakstone Hill still lives.
