Desmond
Title Grand Maester
Died In 44 AC[1]
Book A World of Ice and Fire (mentioned)

Grand Maester Desmond was a maester of the Citadel. He served as Grand Maester during the reign of King Maegor.

History

Desmond was one of three (known) Grand Maesters who served during the rule of Maegor the Cruel. After Queen Alys Harroway became pregnant and later went into premature labour in 44 AC,[1], Desmond assisted in the delivery. When the queen gave birth to a severely deformed stillborn child, Maegor, in his fury, blamed everyone who had assisted in the delivery, and later Queen Alys herself (for her supposed infidelity). He eventually had Alys, her father, her septas and midwives and Grand Maester Desmond executed. [2]

Desmond was one of three Grand Maesters that were executed during Maegor's reign. [3]
