Legends
According to songs, Serwyn once saved Princess Daeryssa from giants.[5] He slew the dragon Urrax by approaching the beast behind his shield so the dragon only saw its own reflection, then spearing Urrax through the eye.[6] Serwyn was haunted by ghosts of all the knights he killed.[7]
Despite the legends that have him as a member of the Kingsguard, an institution created in 10 AC during the reign of Aegon I Targaryen,[8] Serwyn lived in the time of the First Men,[9] thousands of years before there was a Kingsguard or even knights in Westeros.
