Rickard Ryswell is a son of Lord Rodrik Ryswell and a member of House Ryswell.[1]

Appearance and Character

Rickard's look resembles that of his brother Roger.[2]

Rickard and his brothers are said to be quarrelsome, all taking a horsehead of a different color for their sigil, the jape being that the Ryswells could not even agree upon the color of their arms.[3]

Recent Events

A Dance with Dragons

Theon Greyjoy sees a Ryswell lead a column of riders to the camp of Ramsay Bolton at the siege of Moat Cailin, but is unable to tell the difference between Rickard and his brother Roger.[2]

Along with the rest of House Ryswell, Rickard attends the wedding of Ramsay to "Arya Stark" (actually Jeyne Poole) in Winterfell. Theon spots Rickard nuzzling at the neck of one of Abel's washerwomen (supposedly Frenya) near the Burned Tower of Winterfell, but, as mentioned before, it is also possible Theon mistakes Roger for Rickard.[4]
