Ser Humfrey Hardyng was a tourney knight of renown during the reign of Daeron II. His brother by marriage was Ser Humfrey Beesbury.[1]

History

Ser Humfrey won a great melee at Maidenpool in 207 AL and overthrew Ser Donnel of Duskendale and Lords Arryn and Royce in the lists.[2]

The Hedge Knight

Ser Humfrey participated in the Tourney of Ashford, beginning the tourney as one of the champions. In the first tilt he was challenged by Lord Medgar Tully whom he defeated. He fought Ser Humfrey Beesbury in what became known as the 'Battle of Humfrey'.[3] In the final tilt, he faced Prince Aerion Targaryen who killed his horse, which fell on top of Ser Humfrey, breaking his leg.

Ser Humfrey joined the side of Ser Duncan the Tall in the Trial of Seven for revenge, wanting to get even with Prince Aerion Targaryen. He was seriously wounded in the trial and died of his wounds later.[4]
