(Spoilers ASOS) Mance Raider Mance Raider ---&gt; Manse Raider or Raider of a large imposing residence.  Was he always named this, even as a brother of the Night's Watch?  Am I the last person to see this "Winterfell Raider" foreshadowing and Bael the Bard parallel?  According to Mance, he was at the feast in Winterfell during Jon I in AGOT (Chapter 5).


Maybe I'm the last person in the universe to notice this namesake and wonder why he'd have that name before he was a wildling or if it was assigned to him after his Winterfell "Raid" was completed.
