House Liddle
Clan Liddle
House Liddle is one of the mountain clans of the North. Its chief is known as the Liddle, though at Winterfell he is given the courtesy of Lord Liddle, and his people wear a gold-and-bronze pinecone brooch that fastens their cloaks.
Two moments of the North's story pass through its men: Bran Stark's encounter with one of them on his way to the Wall, and the arrival of one of their own in the army Stannis Baratheon gathers to win the North back from the Greyjoys.
Chapter 1
The man with the pinecone
Books only
On his way to the Wall with Hodor, Meera, and Jojen Reed, Bran Stark recalls that there are Liddles living in the northern mountains. Along the road they come across a man of the mountain clans, whom Bran identifies as one of them by the gold-and-bronze pinecone brooch closing his cloak.
The man shares food with them — oatcakes, blood sausage, ale — without asking who they are or giving his own name.
In those same pages, Maester Aemon sends ravens to most of the noble houses of the North asking for help against the wildlings besieging Castle Black; the Liddles are among those he writes to.

The recapture of Deepwood Motte
Books only
