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 at the southwestern coast of the North.

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.[1]

  • After Robb Stark calls his banners, Maester Luwin explains that while some (such as the Karstarks, Boltons, Hornwoods or 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 Fingers.
  • The Flints are reported to have ties to House Hornwood through the female line, though the text does not specify which branch.
  • When Theon Greyjoy studied the banners from the northern lords preparing to attack Winterfell through Maester Luwin's Myrish lens tube, he saw some of House Flint, though not as many as from other houses.
  • 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.
