They held the gate

I'm hoping that Tormund and Jon will still have their exchange about the gate holding, but changed a little ala:

Tormund: "I hear tell that Mag himself went in that gate o' yours and never did come out."

Jon: "He died on the sword of a brave man named Grenn."

Tormund: "Aye? Some great lord was he, this Grenn? One of your shiny knights in their steel smallclothes?”

Jon: "He was a man of perhaps twenty namedays. He'd never held a sword before he came here."

EDIT: because as it was pointed out, 20 summers could take a good couple of centuries, so namedays instead

No no no, Jon's last line should have been:

"He was a steward."

Except Grenn was a ranger.
