George Graceford was the Lord of Holyhall and Lord Confessor during the regency of King Aegon III Targaryen.

History

During the Dance of the Dragons, he was a member of the Caltrops, thirteen nobles who plotted to kill the disrespectful Two Betrayers.[1]

When Lord Unwin Peake came to power as Hand, Lord Graceford and Ser Victor Risley were the only other members of the Caltrops still living. As a supporter of Lord Peake, Lord Graceford was installed as Lord Confessor.[1]

According to Mushroom, Lord Graceford and Clarice Osgrey were lovers. He claims she was aroused by torture, and sometimes joined the Lord Confessor in the dungeons to assist him with his work.[2]

After an attempted poisoning of Queen Daenaera Velaryon, a dozen cooks, bakers, scullions, and serving girls were delivered to the custody of the Lord Confessor. Seven confessed to having plotted to poison the king, but each account differed as to the poisoned dish and the source of the poison, and thus Lord Thaddeus Rowan dismissed these confessions.[2]

Lord Rowan was put under torture for plotting to kill the king, and when he was brought before the court, his face was so bruised and swollen it was unrecognisable, and did not answer unless Lord Graceford pricked him with a dagger. However, King Aegon III questioned Lord Rowan, making him confess that Aegon himself was part of the plot, and that Lord Rowan had killed king Viserys I. Lord Graceford was greatly displeased that Rowan's confession was proven unreliable by the king. The king then ordered the Lord Confessor to be seized, as he had committed treason by forcing a false confession from the Hand.[2]

At the mere sight of instruments of torture, Lord Graceford revealed the conspirators in the attempted poisoning, including many other supporters of Lord Peake. Lord Graceford's trial was one of three of the conspirators that the king attended.[2]
