Oh, I’m absolutely certain they did – as a powerful noble House, the Manderlys would have brought their bannermen, soldiers, servants, etc. on their flight from the Reach, along with their wodgers of cash. You can even see that in the traditional title of the House as “Defender of the Dispossessed” – at the beginning at least, this likely referred to the people who the Manderlys brought with them who had lost their lands and property during the Manderlys’ expulsion.
RE: Founding of White Harbor. I guess it was headcannon, but do you think Manderlys brought other people from the Reach with them such as skilled shipbuilders? Also explains the high concentration of Seven worshipers in White Harbor since Northerners, granting a liege lord’s push, seem VERY reluctant to convert. If don’t think Reach folks came with the Manderlys, curious on backstory of converting Wolf’s Den to the Seven? Would it have been forced or local smallfolk did so on their own accord?
