Hugh Hammer, or Hard Hugh, was a blacksmith's bastard on Dragonstone during the time of the Dance of the Dragons.[1] He was one of the dragonseeds.
Appearance and Character
Hugh was tall and huge, with hands strong enough to twist steel bars. He wielded a warhammer.
History
Jacaerys Velaryon called for dragonriders in 129 AC. Vermithor, the dragon of the Old King, allowed Hugh to mount him.
Hugh fought valiantly in the Battle in the Gullet for the blacks.
Hugh, along with Ulf the White, defected to the greens at the Treasons of Tumbleton. Together they are known as the Two Betrayers. Hugh aimed to become a king. Prince Daeron Targaryen threw wine in his face when he made his claim known, and Hugh threatened to beat the boy. The next day Hugh wore a crown of black iron, which Ser Roger Corne knocked off. Hugh nailed three horseshoes to Roger's skull. The ensuing fight between Hugh's and Roger's supporters led to three dead and twelve wounded. The Caltrops conspired to kill both Hugh and Ulf.
Hugh was betrayed and slain by Ser Jon Roxton during the Second Battle of Tumbleton. Jon was killed in turn by Hugh's men.
Quotes
Why be a lord when you can be a king?[1]
- Hugh to his supporters
We need a strong man to lead us, not a boy. The throne should be mine.[1]
The same right as the Conqueror. A dragon.[1]
-When asked by Ser Jon Roxton by what right Hugh presumed to name himself king
Little boys should be more mannerly when men are speaking. I think your father did not beat you often enough. Take care I do not make up for his lack.[1]
- Hugh to Prince Daeron Targaryen
