Serwyn, better known as Serwyn of the Mirror Shield, is a famous and legendary knight of the Kingsguard.[1] He is still a favorite of the smallfolk.[2]
Legends
According to songs, he once saved Princess Daeryssa from Giants.[3] He slew the dragon Urrax by approaching the beast behind his shield so the dragon only saw its own reflection, Serwyn then speared Urrax through the eye.[4] He was haunted by ghosts of all the knights he killed.[5]
Despite the legends that have him as a member of the Kingsguard, Serwyn lived in the time of the First Men[6], thousands of years before there was a Kingsguard or even knights in Westeros.
