History
According to the Seven-Pointed Star, King Hugor is a major figure in the history of the Faith of the Seven. He was supposedly crowned by the Father himself, who pulled down seven stars to make his crown. The Maid brought forth a girl supple as a willow with eyes like deep blue pools that Hugor took as his first wife. The Mother made her fertile, and she bore him forty-four mighty sons as foretold by the Crone. The Warrior gave each son strength of arms and the Smith wrought each a suit of iron plate. His realm was extensive, spreading from the hills of northern Andalos to the southern marches, now called the Flatlands, in the south.[2] The Seven also promised him and his descendants great kingdoms in a foreign land.[1]
Hugor of the Hill may also be the Andal hero whom Pentoshi singers call Hukko.[1]
Some Kings of Mountain and Vale from House Arryn claimed descent from Hugor.[3]
