Ser Parmen Crane, called Parmen the Purple, was a member of King Renly’s Rainbow Guard. After Renly’s death, Ser Parmen joined with King Stannis and was sent to Bitterbridge with Ser Erren Florent in the hopes of persuading those still there to join them. Ser Parmen and Ser Erren were arrested and remain captives at Highgarden.

Meredyth Crane was among those ladies who accompanied the soon-to-be queen Margaery Tyrell to King’s Landing.
