The tourney on Prince Joffrey's name day[1][2][3] was held in King's Landing to celebrate the 12th name day of Crown Prince Joffrey Baratheon in 297 AC. It is mostly notable for being the tourney in which Loras Tyrell unhorsed Jaime Lannister. Half the court had bet on the match, including Petyr Baelish. The winner of the bet, King Robert Baratheon, claimed Petyr's Valyrian steel dagger with a dragonbone hilt. Petyr claimed that the dagger's winner had been Tyrion Lannister,[1] but in truth Tyrion had bet on his brother Jaime and lost.[4]

A Game of Thrones

Lord Walder Frey tells Catelyn Stark that he went to King's Landing to see his sons ride in the tourney, but he was disappointed in the results. Lord Walder also spoke with Lord and Lady Arryn, and proposed that they fostered two of Walders grandsons at court, while Walder would take their own son to ward at the Twins. Jon Arryn refused Walder, however, and told Walder that Robert was going to be fostered at Dragonstone with Stannis Baratheon. Upon learning this fact, Jon Arryn's wife Lysa stormed off without a word.[6]

Within a fortnight after the tourney, Lysa would have poisoned her husband with the Tears of Lys, a poison that leaves no traces, in an attempt to keep her son by her side. Lysa was convinced to do this by Petyr Baelish, her childhood friend and lover, who seized the oppertunity to get Jon Arryn out of the way.[7]

A Storm of Swords

Ser Jaime Lannister determines that Joffrey Baratheon stole Valyrian steel dagger that King Robert Baratheon had won from Petyr Baelish. Joffrey then gave it to the catspaw who tried to assassinate Bran Stark.[8]
