Redwall Wiki | Brian Jacques and Redwall Information

Martin the Warrior was the father of Luke the Warrior, father-in-law of Sayna, and the grandfather of Martin the Warrior.

Not much is known about Martin the Elder except that he too, was a fierce warrior, and the first known to wield the family's sword. At one point, a tapestry of his likeness was woven, depicting him wearing armor. This image made its way into the belongings of his daughter-in-law, Sayna.

As Luke's tribe members originally resided in Saint Ninian's Church before heading north, this was likely his dwelling place as well.

Seasons later, Martin the Warrior retrieved the tapestry and transported it to Redwall Abbey. This tapestry was later fashioned into one of the younger Martin and prominently displayed in Great Hall.

Inconsistency[]

In the beginning of The Legend of Luke, Martin the Elder is referred to as the grandsire of Luke. However, at the end, he is described as the grandfather of Martin. Luke is also described as the "third of his family" to carry the sword, having received it from his own father.

The Redwall Wiki believes it is more logical for this character to be Martin's grandfather.
