Legend of Bael the Bard
Bael the Bard climbed the Wall, took the Kingsroad and entered Winterfell under the name of Sygerrik of Skagos, a singer. There, he sang until midnight for the lord. Impressed by his skills as a singer, Lord Brandon Stark asked him what he wanted as a reward, and Bael only asked for the most beautiful flower blooming in Winterfell's gardens. As the Blue winter roses were just blooming, Brandon Stark agreed to offer him one. But the following morning, the single, virgin daughter of the lord had disappeared, and in her bed was the blue winter rose.[2]
