Lord Yohn Royce, better known as Bronze Yohn, is the Lord of Runestone and head of House Royce. He is sworn to House Arryn. He has three sons, Andar, Robar and Waymar, all knights.[1]
Contents
Appearance
His face is lined and he has grey hair, slate-grey eyes and very bushy eyebrows. He is tall and has large, gnarled hands, with a booming voice to match.[2] He has a set of bronze armor, thousands of years old that is inscribed with runes that ward him from harm.[3]
History
Lord Yohn is a tourney knight, who took part in the Tourney at Harrenhal, where he was defeated by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen[4], and in the Tourney at Lannisport, where he was defeated by Ser Jorah Mormont.[5] He defeated Thoros of Myr in the melee at the Tourney for Prince Joffrey's 12th Name Day with a common mace after the fire of Thoros' sword had guttered out.[6]
Lord Tywin Lannister offered his son Tyrion for marriage within House Royce but was rejected.[7]
Lord Royce escorted his youngest son north, when Waymar joined the Night's Watch in 296 AC. They stayed in Winterfell on their way, where Yohn participated in hunts and practice sparring with Ned Stark and Rodrik Cassel, defeating them both in the latter.[3][2]
