Humfrey Lefford
On this tab
Humfrey Lefford was the lord of Golden Tooth and head of his house when the Dance of the Dragons split the realm into two camps.
After other western commanders fell, he found himself leading the host marching toward Harrenhal.
The War
Command of the Western Host
When Lord Jason Lannister and Ser Adrian Tarbeck fell during the war, command of the western host passed to Humfrey Lefford. Already old and wounded himself, he had to lead the march from a litter.
The army moved slowly east toward Harrenhal, no one in its ranks knowing that northern levies were already closing in on them.

Battle of the Gods Eye
At Gods Eye, Humfrey ran into several Black hosts and hesitated before giving the order to attack. His men dug in and waited.
They sent ravens to Harrenhal asking Prince Aemond Targaryen for help, but Robb Rivers's archers shot them down one by one before they could arrive. Humfrey died in the battle that followed, by the lakeshore.

Assessment
Character
Those who describe him agree on one trait: he was a cautious commander, given to hesitation rather than quick decisions. That same hesitancy marked his final hours before Gods Eye.
