Errol Glenmore

—Errol to Torrhen Whitehill.

**Errol Glenmore** is the current head of House Glenmore and father of Namond, Elaena, Arthur, Lyarra, Kyra and Valeris. He is the firstborn son of Trevyr and Andra Glenmore and brother of Edrik, Laena, and Edmure.

## Character

### Personality

According to Elissa Forrester, Lord Glenmore is "no coward". He also seems to be very practical, preferring a potential marriage between his house and House Forrester to benefit him in some way. However, Errol is easily swayed by his family members, particularly his firstborn son and heir, Namond.

Despite this, Errol commands a strong respect from his men, who follow his every word. He is a capable and pragmatic military commander, renowned for his organised liberation of the Rills coastline during the Greyjoy Rebellion, during which he united the forces of the Ryswells' vassal houses.

### History

Errol Glenmore was born to Trevyr and Andra Glenmore in 248 AL, the first of four children. Over the next decade or so three siblings followed, the last being Edmure, who was born when Errol was thirteen years of age.

As a boy, Errol fostered under Lord Rodrik Ryswell alongside Barrish Brownbarrow, who acted as something of an elder brother to him.

Aged twenty-one, Errol was wed to Syrena Glenmore, a long-time sweetheart. They had their first child, Namond, when Errol was twenty-five and five more children followed;

* Elaena, named after Errol's sister Laena, born when Errol was twenty-seven.
* Arthur - born when Errol was thirty-two.
* Lyarra - born when Errol was thirty-eight.
* Kyra - born when Errol was forty-four, and named by Errol (albeit after an ancestor of his wife).
* Valeris, who was born only a few months before the events of the Season Two AU. Edmure Glenmore remarks that Errol and Syrenas' marriage is as passionate as the day they were wed.

Aged thirty-two, Errol ascended to Lordship after his father Trevyr was slain at Stoney Sept during the Battle of the Bells and his younger brother Edrik was killed by archers at the Trident. Errol led the Glenmore forces himself until the Rebel victory, then returned home to his family.

Errol has ties to House Tyrell through his sister, Laena, who was wed to a third cousin of Lord Mace Tyrell. Errol has made trips to the Reach and has a friendly relationship with his brother-by-law, despite the fact that they were on opposite sides of Robert's Rebellion. Errol also maintained the loose Glenmore-Forrester alliance formed by his great uncle, Vance, and Lord Gregor Forrester's grandfather, Yoren.

During the Greyjoy Rebellion, Glenmore and Riverstone forces led by Errol, alongside Lightfoots and Ryders, were instrumental in reclaiming the coastal territory belonging to his liege lords, House Ryswell, which the Ironborn had been laying siege to after the destruction of the Lannister fleet. His actions earned him a reputation as a bold yet honourable commander.

When the War of Five Kings broke out, House Glenmore remained as defenders of the North on the request of King Robb Stark. As such, their forces remained intact and Errol was protected from the full wrath of the Boltons by his Liege Lord, Rodrik Ryswell, who was one of the first to declare for the new wardens of the North. This did not stop Errol from visiting the Oldbarrow, seat of House Brownbarrow, to pay his respects to his childhood friend Barrish and his sons who fell in battle.

## Official Canon

### "The Lost Lords"

After news of Rodrik's survival at the Red Wedding reached the Glenmores, Elaena quickly set off to Ironrath. Before she left, Lord Glenmore advised her to reconsider the betrothal in light of recent events. Elaena seems inclined to agree initially, *(Determinant)* but Lord Glenmore's worries can be somewhat resolved either if Mira Forrester forges a letter to Elaena in Margaery Tyrell's name, or if Rodrik offers the Glenmores half of the ironwood grove.

### "Sons of Winter"

Elaena and Arthur tell Rodrik that their father had "acted a damn coward" when Ludd Whitehill paid them a visit at Rillswater Crossing and that they would be slaughtered along with House Forrester if they refuse to marry Elaena to his son Gryff. Arthur mentions he commands father's elite guard, which he thinks are still aboard a ship bound for The Reach.
