- Ser {Harlan Grandison} was a former knight of the Kingsguard. He died in his sleep. He was replaced in the Kingsguard by Ser Jaime Lannister.
- Along with Lord Cafferen, Lord Grandison was captured by Robert Baratheon at the Battle of Summerhall during Robert's Rebellion. Robert then managed to turn these two Targaryen loyalists into allies. Lord Grandison was wounded at the Battle of the Trident fighting for Robert, and died of his wound a year later.
- Lord Hugh Grandison was among the possible matches offered to Princess Arianne Martell.
- In the War of the Five Kings, presumably the Grandisons first declared for Renly Baratheon before joining Stannis's cause.
- Although Lord Hugh is too old to fight and likely declared for Joffrey after the Battle of the Blackwater, Ser Narbert continues to serve Stannis, and is one of the Queen's Men.
