Lord Ormund Hightower was a Lord of Oldtown from House Hightower.
History
Ormund led the Hightower forces for the Greens during the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons.
Lord Ormund Hightower and his forces were trapped between the forces of 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. Just then, a massive shadow appeared in the sky above them and it was none other than Daeron Targaryen on his dragon Tessarion. It was then that the battle turned to the favor of Aegon II's forces and the route was underway with heavy losses in the retreat. After the battle he knighted Daeron Targaryen 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 Roddy the Ruin 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, 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 subcumming to his wounds.[1]
