History
Ormund led the Hightower forces for the greens during the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons.
During the Battle on the Honeywine Lord Ormund Hightower and his forces were trapped between the forces of Lord Thaddeus Rowan and Tom Flowers, the Bastard of Bitterbridge, on one side and Ser Alan Beesbury, Lord Alan Tarly and Lord Owen Costayne from the other on the banks of the Honeywine. Lord Hightower's lines were starting to crumble and defeat seemed all but a forgone conclusion. Daeron Targaryen turned up on his dragon, Tessarion, and turned the battle for the forces of King Aegon II Targaryen. After the battle Ormund knighted Daeron, naming him Ser Daeron the Daring.
Hightower's host was advancing slowly on King's Landing, smashing the blacks' forces trying to hinder their advance. The Hightower host came to Tumbleton, where Lord Roderick Dustin and his Winter Wolves rode out to meet them. Screaming war cries, the northmen fought through ten times their own numbers till Lord Roderick came face to face with Lord Ormund. Ormund's cousin, Ser Bryndon Hightower, put himself between the northman and his liege, taking off his arm with his longaxe, yet the Lord of Barrowton slayed both before succumbing to his wounds.[1]
