Ser Bronn of the Blackwater
General Information
Bronn is a scoundrel and sellsword whose saving grace is his great skill with the sword. At first being party to the capture of Tyrion Lannister by Lady Catelyn Stark, at the Eyrie Bronn took Tyrion’s part in a trial by combat. Killing Ser Vardis Egen, Lady Lysa’s champion and the captain of the Arryn guard, Bronn and Tyrion were sent alone through the mountain road. They survived that however, and won allies from the mountain clans.
Spoilers
Following Tyrion Lannister to King’s Landing, Bronn helped collect an army of sellswords for the Hand. After the battle of the Blackwater, he and six hundred others were knighted for the aid they provided in the battle. When Tyrion Lannister was tried for the murder of King Joffrey, Ser Bronn was bribed away from standing as his champion by Cersei Lannister who gave him Lollys Stokeworth as a bride. When Lollys gave birth to a bastard son (the product of her rape during the riot in King’s Landing), Bronn suggested he be named Tyrion.
Earning the queen’s enmity for this, she sought to have Ser Byam Byrch and Falyse Stokeworth arrange his death in a way that would seem accidental. Ser Byam, however, challenged Bronn to a duel, which Byam promptly lost (along with his life). Ser Bronn threw out Falyse Stokeworth from her ancestral seat, and shortly thereafter her mother died. Following Falyse’s unexpected disappearance and death, Lollys became Lady of Stokeworth, with Bronn’s sellsword knights proclaiming him Lord Stokeworth.
