Had Sam pleased Paxter, he would have been betrothed to his daughter, Desmera. Sam's mother revealed to him that Randyll had meant for Samwell to remain at the Arbor, to serve as Lord Paxter Redwyne's page and squire. When he was ten, Sam accompanied his father on a trip to the Arbor, but the Redwyne twins Horas and Hobber bullied him and Lord Randyll brought him back home. Lord Tarly had Sam thrown into a Horn Hill's pond to teach his son to swim, but Ser Hyle Hunt had to rescue the boy. He even wept to see a chicken slaughtered. Attempts such as dressing him in his mother's clothes, forcing him to sleep in chainmail, and even being bathed in aurochs blood by Qartheen warlocks failed to raise his valor. A dozen masters-at-arms failed to toughen him. Randyll, regarded as one of the finest military commanders in the Seven Kingdoms, did everything in his power to raise his son into what he deemed a proper heir, but Samwell frustrated him at every opportunity, resisting every effort made to change his nature. Samwell was the first child of Randyll Tarly, Lord of Horn Hill, and his wife, Melessa Florent. Although he is insecure and awkward, Sam is observant and intelligent. He is also a timid craven, afraid of blood and violence. Samwell is fond of music and songs, and prefers books over weapons and soft fabrics over armor. ![]() Jon Snow originally estimates Samwell to weigh 20 stone (127 kg/280 lbs). ![]() Samwell is very fat, with dark hair, pale eyes, and a large moon-shaped face.
