History: Martyn inherited the Hightower in 41 AC, following the death of his father, Lord Manfred Hightower.In 43 AC when King Maegor, Queen Dowager Visenya, their dragons, and the royal army made their way to Oldtown during the Faith Militant uprising, Lord Martyn called his banners with a fire atop the Hightower. By the morning of their arrival, however, the city gates were open, and the banners of Houses Targaryen, Tyrell, and Hightower flew atop the city walls. After word of the sudden death of the High Septon reached him, Martyn at once dispatched his knights to arrest and disarm all of the Warrior's Sons, including his brother Ser Morgan. Martyn sent his men to rouse the Most Devout from their beds and march them at spearpoint to the Starry Sept to choose a new High Septon. Through unspecified circumstances, by the end of Maegor's reign, Martyn died and was succeeded by Lord Donnel Hightower, whose relationship to Martyn hasn't been specified.
