The Tourney at Ashford Meadow
Ser Lyonel participated in the Ashford Tourney. In the first tilt he challenged Ser Robert Ashford. After breaking nine lances they both lost their saddles on their tenth course, only to rise together to fight on, sword against mace. Finally a battered Robert Ashford admitted defeat, Ser Lyonel become a champion in his place.[1]
He fought multiple matches, against lesser foes, he would often break into booming laughter the moment they touched his shield, and laugh all the time he was mounting and charging and knocking them from their stirrups. If his challengers wore any sort of crest on their helm, Ser Lyonel would strike it off and fling it into the crowd.[1] He joined Ser Duncan the Tall in the Trial of Seven, knighting Raymun Fossoway shortly before it started.[1]
