- When Theon arrives at Pyke he sees a great number of longships. He reflects that some bore devices from the other islands including the blood moon of the Wynches. Since Iron Holt is on Pyke, it appears that Theon was mistaken (perhaps due to spending too much time on the greenlands).
- When entering the great hall with his father's captains Theon sees some Wynches among them, and now he correctly assigns them to the island of Pyke.
- Ser Aladale Wynch was slain by the Wildings at the Bridge of Skulls.
- Tristifer Botley explains to Asha that Lord Waldon Wynch was the first men to recongise Euron as a king.
