Neither their arms nor their words appear in the books, but according to semi-canon sources they blazon their shield as an iron escutcheon with silver studs on a grey-green field strewn with longships proper.[2]

History

King Jaehaerys I Targaryen visited Greyshield during his royal progress in 89 AC.[3]

During the Dance of the Dragons, Lord Grimm declared Greyshield for the blacks.[4] They surrendered to Lord Ormund Hightower and Prince Daeron Targaryen, however, to avoid facing Tessarion, Daeron's dragon.[5]

A Grimm was among the names of thirty-one maidens from the Reach proposed by Samantha Tarly as a suitable wife for King Aegon III Targaryen.[6] Greyshield sent three galleys to aid Lord Alyn Velaryon when the Oakenfist sailed to confront Lord Dalton Greyjoy.[7]

Recent Events

The Shield Islands are the first line of defense when the ironborn try to sail up the Mander to sack the wealth of the Reach. Hotho Harlaw reports that Lord Guthor Grimm's septon decided the gods had spoken and surrendered Grimston after Ser Harras Harlaw defeated seven men.[1]

After the taking of the Shields, King Euron Greyjoy gives Greyshield to Harras.[1] Lord Grimm is kept a prisoner of the ironmen at Grimston according to the tidings that reach King's Landing.[8]
