House Flint of Flint's Finger is a noble house from the North, probably less powerful than the Flints of Widow's Watch. Flint's Finger is located in the southwest of the North, along the southern coast of Blazewater Bay and near Cape Kraken and the Flint Cliffs.[3] The semi-canon A Song of Ice and Fire Campaign Guide states Robin Flint is the lord of this house,[1] although he is also the son of Lady Lyessa Flint of Widow's Watch.[4]

Neither their arms or their words appear in the text. According to a semi-canon source they blazon their banner as a grey stone hand upon a white inverted pall on paly black and grey.[5]

History

It is suggested that the Night's King was a Flint, among the many possibilities. Lord Commander Rodrik Flint is regarded as one of the worst commanders of the Night's Watch, for trying to make himself King-Beyond-the-Wall. One of the dark legends surrounding the Nightfort is the rape and murder of brave young Danny Flint.

A branch of House Flint held the Wolf's Den for a century after the extinction of the Greystarks.[6]

When he was only ten years old, Balon Greyjoy scaled the Flint Cliffs to the Blind Lord's haunted tower.

Recent Events

A Game of Thrones

After Robb Stark calls his banners, Maester Luwin explains that while some houses (such as the Karstarks, Boltons, Hornwoods and Umbers) gather at the winter town, others such as the Lords Manderly and Flint are waiting to join him along the kingsroad. Since House Flint of Widow's Watch is ruled by a lady, the passage probably refers to the Lord of Flint's Finger, who may be Robin Flint.[1]

A Clash of Kings

The Flints are reported to have ties to House Hornwood through the female line, though A Clash of Kings does not specify which branch.

When Theon Greyjoy studies the banners from the northern lords preparing to attack Winterfell through Maester Luwin's Myrish lens tube, he sees some of House Flint, though not as many as from other houses.

A Dance with Dragons

The Flints of Flint's Finger swear allegiance to Lord Roose Bolton, the new Warden of the North. Their stone hand sigil is seen at Barrow Hall when Roose gathers his bannermen[7] and at Winterfell for the wedding of Ramsay Bolton to "Arya Stark".[8] A Flint crossbowman is found with a broken skull in Winterfell's stable.[9]
