House Grimm of Greyshield rules over one of the Shield Islands. The Shield Islands are a considerable sea strength and were the first line of defense during the days that the ironborn pirates tried to sail up the Mander to sack the wealth of the Reach.

Neither their arms or their words appear in the books, but in noncanon correspondence with fans George R. R. Martin has blazoned their shield as an iron escutcheon with silver studs on a grey-green field strewn with longships proper.

The Grimm House at the end of the third century

The only known Grimm during the timespan of the events described on A Song of Ice and Fire is Lord Guthor Grimm, Lord of Greyshield.
