{{Noble House | House_name = House Grimm of Greyshield | image = [[File:Grimm.png]|250px] | image_caption = | Coat_of_arms = An iron escutcheon with silver studs on a grey-green field strewn with longships proper | Words = | Seat = Greyshield | Current_Lord = Guthor Grimm | Region = The Reach, the Shield Islands | Title = Lord of Greyshield | Heir = | Overlord = House Tyrell | Ancestral_weapon = | Cadet_branch = | Founded_in = | Founder = | Died_out = }} House Grimm of Greyshield rules over one of the Shield Islands called Greyshield. 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.[1]
Neither their arms or 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]
