Humfrey Wagstaff was a knight from House Wagstaff and the castellan of Grandview for House Grandison.[2]
Appearance and Character
Humfrey had a spotted head and hawk nose. He was a proud man.[2]
History
When he was sixty-five, Humfrey was betrothed to a sixteen-year-old Brienne Tarth, her third and final match. On the day of their betrothal, Humfrey told Brienne that he would expect her to wear only women's clothes after they married, warning her that he would chastise her if she would not obey him. Brienne, however, told Humfrey that she would accept punishment only from a man who could beat her in a fight. The castellan turned purple with anger, yet agreed to put on his armor and fight her to teach her a woman's proper place. They fought with blunted weapons, with Brienne wielding a spike-less mace. The girl broke Humfrey's collarbone and two ribs, causing the betrothal to be called off.[2]
Quotes
Her hand went to her sword hilt, and she found herself wondering if Ser Shadrich would think her easy prey just because she was a woman. Lord Grandison's castellan had once made that error. Humfrey Wagstaff was his name; a proud old man of five-and-sixty, with a nose like a hawk and a spotted head.[2]
