We don’t know. Not lately, but it could be the case earlier.
As to why they stuff the titles, they do it b/c otherwise that would be admitting they had lost, were in the wrong, etc.
Have the Manderlys ever shown a desire to go back to the Reach? At ASOIAF time it seems like their political ambitions are set in soldifying the bonds to the Starks and staying in the North. It is okay if they want to keep their religion, but why stuff their lord’s titles with Reach references if they are more interested in having more power in the North? Wouldn’t it help them better to be identified as northmen and have North-related titles?
