History
Husband and his wife Sharna were displaced during the War of the Five Kings. They had two sons, one of whom was killed by Lannister men, whilst the other died of the flux, but they later adopted an orphaned boy whose mother had been killed by the Brave Companions. They came upon the Inn of the Kneeling Man and found the previous owners dead, so buried them and took over running the establishment.[1]

Quotes by Husband
Jaime: Now there's an honest innkeep. They'll all serve you stale bread and stringy meat, but most don't own up to it so freely.
Husband: I'm no innkeep. I buried him out back, with his women.[1]—Jaime Lannister and Husband
Quotes about Husband
Cleos: But this is the road the innkeep warned us against.
Brienne: He was no innkeep. The man took too great an interest in our choice of route, and those woods ... such places are notorious haunts of outlaws. He may have been urging us into a trap.[1]—Cleos Frey and Brienne Tarth
