History
At the tourney at Ashford Meadow in 209 AC, Steely Pate gave Ser Duncan the Tall a newly-painted shield. Pate mentioned having seen shields adorned with, among other things, hanged men.[4]
Duncan, having had his shield destroyed in a trial by combat at the Chequy Water against Ser Lucas Inchfield, bought a new shield during his stay at Stoney Sept. The shield had not been painted since its last owner and therefore still featured a hanged man as its sigil - most likely the personal arms of a member from House Trant. This inspired Duncan to adopt the temporary alias of the "Gallows Knight" for the wedding tourney at Whitewalls in 212 AC.[5]

He breaks two lances with Ser Hobber Redwyne, unhorsing him on the second pass.[8] Meryn is frequently ordered to beat Sansa Stark by King Joffrey I Baratheon.[8] He is assigned to guard Joffrey during the Battle of the Blackwater.[9]
A Storm of Swords
