History
The Tourney at Ashford Meadow
Lord Leo participated in the tourney at Ashford Meadow, beginning the tourney as one of the champions. In the first tilt he was challenged by Lord Damon Lannister, who yielded on the third lance after having his helm knocked off.[1]
Was next challenged by Lord Pearse Caron, whom he defeated after Lord Pearse's longaxe got caught in his shield after a fight afoot.[1]
One-eyed Ser Robyn Rhysling, lost his helm to Lord Leo’s lance in their first course, yet refused to yield. Three times more, they rode at each other, Leo Tyrell was too chivalrous to aim another lance at Ser Robyn’s unprotected head, Finally the Lord of Highgarden struck Ser Robyn’s breastplate a solid thump right over the heart and sent him cartwheeling to the earth.[1]
Later Life
Rumors he was ailing were heard by Ser Duncan the Tall and Egg while they were in the Reach.[4]
