House Piper

House Piper of Pinkmaiden is one of the chief noble houses from the riverlands[1]. Its seat at Pinkmaiden Castle is located close to the border with the westerlands.

Their blazon is a pink dancing maiden in a swirl of white silk, over blue.[2][3] Their motto is not mentioned in the books, but in semi-canon sources it is listed as "Brave and Beautiful".[4]

During Aegon's Conquest, the Pipers joined Aegon the Conqueror against Harren the Black.[5]

Lord Piper's bailiff hanged Jack-Be-Lucky's father.[6]

An unnamed daughter of Lord Piper was the third wife of Lord Quellon Greyjoy.[7] They had one son, Robin Greyjoy. When her stepson, Urrigon Greyjoy, lost half his hand during the finger dance, she had her maester try to sew back the missing fingers, instead of sealing the wound with fire and seawater. The wound became infected, however, and Urrigon died. She later died in childbirth.[8]
