Quotes

Myranda: Our cousin Bronze Yohn had himself a mêlée at Runestone, a small one, just for squires. It was meant for Harry the Heir to win the honors, and so he did.

Alayne: Harry the Heir?

Myranda: Lady Waynwood's ward. Harrold Hardyng. I suppose we must call him Ser Harry now. Bronze Yohn knighted him."[1]
