Rodrik Ryswell is the Lord of the Rills and the head of House Ryswell in the north. He has at least two daughters,[1] Bethany who is deceased and Barbrey, the Lady of Barrowton, and three sons, Roger, Rickard, and Roose.[2][3] Rodrik's personal coat of arms is an alteration of the Ryswell horse head, golden instead of black.[2]

History
Upon the outbreak of Robert's Rebellion, Rodrik's daughter Barbrey gave the pride of Rodrik's herds, a red stallion, to her husband, Lord Willam Dustin, when he traveled south with Lord Eddard Stark. The stallion returned north, but Willam did not.[4]
