Andromache

…After the death of Achilles, he was asked by the Greek army to join the battle, knowing that one of the conditions for the capture of Troy was the participation of Neoptolemus, the surviving son of Achilles. He was one of the brave warriors who entered the enemy city by hiding inside the womb of a wooden horse. When Troy fell, he defeated the enemy king Priam, threw the enemy general Hector's infant Astyanax over the city wall, and received Andromache, the mother of the enemy, as a reward. After the Trojan War, he was either killed in a fight with a priest at Delphi, or went to the Epirus region in the northwest of the Greek mainland and became king of the Molossians. …

From Hector

...eldest son of Troy's King Priam and Hecuba; husband of Andromache; father of Astyanax.
