Contents
Appearance
A young, strong, handsome blond-haired man, Lancel is said to closely resemble his cousin, Jaime Lannister. He has green eyes and sandy hair, and is sixteen years old.[1]
Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
Alongside his cousin Tyrek, Lancel serves as squire to King Robert Baratheon, and is directly responsible for his death: on the request of Queen Cersei Lannister, he provides the King with a large dose of strongwine as Robert tracked an enormous boar while hunting in the Kingswood.[2] The boar slew Robert.[3]
A Clash of Kings
In payment for his service, Cersei has Lancel knighted and takes him into her bed.[4] Although the affair elicits strong emotions from Lancel, Cersei eventually grows bored and rebuffs him. Tyrion Lannister suspects the affair and gets Lancel to admit to it, blackmailing him into spying on Cersei for him.[2] Lancel is present for, and survives, the Riot of King's Landing[5]
He fights in the Battle of the Blackwater, though he is severely injured. For his services he is named the new Lord of Darry.[6]
A Storm of Swords
Lancel recovers from the injuries he sustained in the battle, but his appearance is substantially changed in the process. No longer comely, he looks like a much older man and his hair has turned white and brittle. The High Septon is instrumental in his recovery and Lancel develops a new found piety to the Faith of the Seven. As part of the pact between Lord Tywin Lannister and Lord Walder Frey concerning the betrayal of Robb Stark, Lancel is wed to Amerei Frey, a granddaughter of Lord Walder's.[7]
A Feast for Crows
Lancel takes his lordship of the lands of Darry and is ambivalent as to rumors of his new wife's promiscuity. Jaime visits Lancel at Castle Darry and, under questioning Lancel admits to having slept with Cersei as well as to having supplied Robert Baratheon with the strongwine. Shortly afterwards, Lancel leaves his wife and castle in order to swear service as part of the newly reformed Faith Militant.[8]
A Dance with Dragons
Lancel is seen having joined the Warrior's Sons, a division of highborn knights devoted to the seven. Under the command of Ser Theodan the True, he makes up part of Cersei's escort in her 'walk of shame'.[9]
