Hugh Grandison, called Greybeard, is the Lord of Grandview and head of House Grandison. He was among the possible matches offered to Princess Arianne Martell. He is an old man.[1]
Character & Appearance
Hugh Grandison is a very aged man, with a long white beard. Arianne Martell regards him to be pleasant and more robust than others his age, but undesirable.
History
The aged head of House Grandison, Hugh was given the name Greybeard, though in time his beard went pure white.
At one point, Hugh was proposed as a potential betrothal to Arianne Martell by her father, Prince Doran. In order to facilitate the proposal, Hugh visited Dorne, falling asleep during the welcoming feast. While he slept, Garin challenged Arianne to tie Hugh's beard into a knot, but she refused. Though she found him less unappealing than the other old suitors her father proposed, Arianne turned down Hugh like all the others.
