The chief of the clan is known as "The Liddle", although at Winterfell he is given the treatment of "Lord Liddle".
Their arms are per pale white and green, a fir tree line between, three brown pinecones on the white.[2] Their motto does not appear in the books.

Bran Stark recalls there are some Liddles living in the high places during his trip to the Wall with Hodor, Meera, and Jojen Reed. They meet a man from the mountain clans that Bran identifies as a Liddle because of the pinecone-shaped gold and bronze clasp fastening his cloak.
