Big Wyman

[@IcebreakerMHWilds]

I meant to write my other comment on response to this. I'm another Wyman fan, though Wendel and Wylis are respectable too. I forgot that there's some hints that Wyman is a self insert by GRRM.

[@prieterico]

There was a passage in the books that was something basically like

[@1handedtyper]

I like Wyla's moxie.

[@ianlachey1726]

Best retort in the series is when hosteen is carying little walder and Wyman saying, “Maybe it’s a mercy, he would have grown up to be a frey.”

They may not have originated from the North, but they are true Northmen at heart!

[@AdeptKing]

The Starks gave them a home when they lost everything.

[@realdaggerman105]

You know a house is cracked when they become overweight in the North. Y’know, the place where most commoners and even some lords leave their homes to die in the winter rather than be a burden on their families. Absolute legends.

[@renaigh]

Northmen are generally described as quite large so no idea where you got that idea from.

[@bwpitlik1290]

They’re like bears. If the spring and summer are good, they’ll be fat and happy. The fact that Winters last for years just means they’ll be big before starving to death if the winter lasts long enough.

[@realdaggerman105]

@@renaigh Large doesn’t equal overweight, though. Sure, they pack it on, but it’s periodic at best. It’s like dad bods, large and strong but not exactly to a Manderly level.

[@higharchbishopofteatasting6217]

​@@renaighIt's a known fact that the Manderlys weight is due to the fact they are rich af. It's not common for Northern house lord's to be so fat they are unable to mount a horse.

[@Vidar93]

To be fair the books take place during the end of a long summer so he had many years to get fat.

[@IcebreakerMHWilds]

The Manderlys are such an awesome house. I think Wyman and his sons are emblematic of GRRM's ability to write characters that can inspire both revulsion and admiration from the readers and the in-universe characters alike. Wyman gets so much flak from everyone, even his own people. Most great lords carry titles of ridiculous overblown honors, while Wyman get's called lowbrow, schoolyard jibes like "Lord Lard" and "Lord Too-fat-to-sit-ahorse". Despite that, and maybe in part making use of that public image, Wyman pulls off what may be (TWoW pending) the most incredible reversal on the Freys and Boltons to wrest control of the North back into their leige-lord, House Stark's, rightful hands. If The Great Northern Conspiracy is pulled off, I think as a fanbase we need to come to terms with Lord Lard being every bit the political mastermind as the likes of The Spider and the The Mockingbird.

[@stingerjohnny9951]

So he’s the Anti-Baron Harkonen. A fat as hell lord who uses he’s tactical genius and cunning for good instead of evil.

"It's not cannibalism if it's a Frey." - Lord Wyman Manderly, probably.

[@bradwolf07]

I've always liked the Manderlys. They are ambitious, of course, but they are also loyal to the Starks The Starks took them in during their darkest time, and the Manderlys never forgot that. They kept their rituals and customs, which make them unique in the North. So I'm curious what they will do (if the books ever get published)

[@QuinnTheGM]

Imagine being named after the Manderly river and not even living there (this post brought to you by true patriots of House Peake)

[@Levacque]

It's never mentioned in videos, but Wyman Manderly never took guest right in Winterfell. He's been eating his own stores the entire time. It's disguised behind his gluttony - it simply looks like he's eating better than the other besieged people, so it's easy to miss the offhand comment that he only eats food he brought with him. It means he can do anything he wants without suffering the censure of violating guest right.

[@chrissiek8706]

And it's not like Winterfell is Bolton's. You bet, Manderlys believes it to rightfully belong to Starks

[@EyePatchGuy88]

"You fool, you only cut my first chin." - Lord Wyman Manderly, probably.

[@aliasfakename3159]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Manderlys are one of the few major houses to not be wiped out after a serious war. Highgarden lost all its Gardeners, the Casterlys are more legend than a real house, and the Reynes make a lovely song.

[@Alexwright12]

the peakes.... holy shit those guys are impressive, managed to be on the losing side of every major war post conquest - fought with the gardeners at the field of fire (and lost their lord) - supported the greens in the dance and got absolutely smashed at tumbelton - then barely survived uwnin peake (great name btw) and his abuse of Aegon III's regency - Supported first and second blackfyre rebellions - rose against the iron throne and killed Maekar I, Ser Tywald Lannister and Lord Robert Reyne all that and somehow they're still alive as a house

[@beckjayjohn5781]

​@@Alexwright12 that worse then the Bolton's at least the Bolton's were loyal for thousand years before turning traitor and only in the most fucked time for there house but the peaks can't seem to be loyal for 2 seconds

[@davidlewis5312]

​@Alexwright12 the fact they weren't dusted after killing Maekar is truly a mystery. Does Blood Raven like their moxy?

[@throwmeaname]

One of my favourite northern houses. They have the fierce loyalty trait of a northerner, but have the political savviness of a southerner. The Boltons and Freys never stand a chance.

[@PackLeader-1990]

House Mandery is actually one of my favorite houses from the books and of course my favorite Mandery is Lord Too Fat to Sit a Horse. Such an interesting family & House history. I like the whole idea of the city of White Harbor and Davos along with Wyman & the MANNIS are going to retake Winterfell in my humble opinion. Also, can you possibly do a video on House Sunderland in the future? I believe Theon's mother hailed from The Sisters. Great animated video as always and hoping to catch a livestream soon! Just been so busy with work fml

[@yggdrasil2]

I don't think she does. It's condusing because there is a house Sunderland...and a house Sunderly!

[@1handedtyper]

Don't forget that the Manderlys are at the mercy of the Iron Bank, who are calling in all Westeros's outstanding debts, courtesy of Cersei's drunken stupidity. They were in the middle of building a fleet of delicious new war ships, but then their benefactors were murdered.

[@SpottedHares]

Do we Jon they borrowed that money for the fleet? If they’re rich, having the only true harbor and true city in the north would imply they have money and could have just spent part of their own with the intent of increasing their power being effectively the only master of ships available.

[@Levacque]

​​@@SpottedHares They definitely didn't borrow for the fleet. Robb got the Umbers to supply lumber from upriver and the Manderlys' contribution was to build and raise crews for the ships. There's no word ever that the Manderlys would need financial help considering that they were going to open a silver mint.

We’ve gotten conflicting report that Winds of Winter has been put to the side to finish part 2, and that he want to finish WoW before finishing part 2. So realistically they’re probably being worked on at the same time, slowing both down even more.

​@@ramiromen6595They got a place with some good resources from Starks. They likely had trained personnel already, being a noble house with an access to high education before they were driven out. Remember, in this universe, most people can't even read. Education and ability to get more by reading? A good way to start. They were beggars, but given resources, they didn't have to start from the bottom, like some peasant family.
