Did you see anywhere how Ser Duncan the Tall and Brienne of Tarth are related? Totally on-board with that, but just how since more interesting than the if. For Hodor’s line, it was a bastard born to old Nan and Duncan, right? But how’s Lord Selwyn (safe bet it’s through her father) descended from Duncan in a way that’s secret since if Brienne knew her direct-line ancestor was one of THE most famed knights in history, she mentioned in somebody or even in her thoughts in her POV chapters, no?

Yes I saw that, altho that revelation depends on how we parse the question and GRRM’s response, so I wouldn’t necessarily bet the farm on that yet.

In terms of the Tarths of Evenfall Hall, if it is a secret, it’s got to be a semi-open secret because they have his shield hanging in their armory.
