History

Jacaerys Velaryon called for dragonriders in 129 AC. Vermithor, the dragon of the Old King, allowed Hugh to mount him.

Hugh fought valiantly in the Battle in the Gullet for The Blacks.

Hugh, along with Ulf the White, defected to The Greens at the Treasons of Tumbleton. Together they are known as the Two Betrayers. Hugh aimed to become a king. Daeron Targaryen threw wine in his face when he made his claim known, and Hugh threatened to beat the boy. The next day Hugh wore a crown of black iron. When insulted and his claim questions, Hugh had three men killed.

Hugh was betrayed and slain by Bold Jon during the Second Battle of Tumbleton. Jon was killed in turn by Hugh's men.
