House Heddle
Region The Riverlands
Overlord House Baelish of Harrenhal

House Heddle is a knightly house from the Riverlands.[1][2] Its known current members, however, hold no seat or land and are no different from smallfolk. They own the Crossroads Inn.

History

Jon Heddle, known as Long Jon, was a knight many years prior to 196 AC. When he was crippled and done with adventuring, he took over an old inn at the crossroads between the Kingsroad, the river road and the high road. Ser Jon took to ironworking as well, creating a sign for his inn in the shape of a black dragon. The sign would clank in the wind and gave the inn its new name, the Clanking Dragon.[2]

Many years later, when Long Jon's son was an old man, the Blackfyre Rebellion broke out. Lord Darry, who was a fierce Targaryen supporter, became wroth at the inn's sign, cut it down and hacked it to pieces because it resembled the coat of arms of the rebels.[2]

Ser Tommard Heddle, known as Black Tom, sought the hand of Ambrose Butterwell's daughter, killing three of her other suitors. The two were married and Black Tom became a sword of Butterwell's household. In 211 AC, House Butterwell and Black Tom became involved with the Second Blackfyre Rebellion. When he attempted to take hostage Egg, the disguised prince and squire to Duncan the Tall, he was challenged and killed by Dunk. The rebellion was put down within the day.[1]

Over time, the Heddle's inn became known as the River Inn, where one could take a ferry across to Lord Harroway's Town and Whitewalls. However, the river moved and soon that name faded. Masha Heddle's grandfather was the innkeeper at the time the river moved.[2]
