Character
The porcupine knight was not well loved by the commons.[1]
History
A knight of House Blount,[2] the porcupine knight attended the tourney at Harrenhal with his squire. His squire attacked a crannogman with two other squires. The porcupine knight earned a place among the champions at the end of the first day of the tourney. The pitchfork knight and the knight of the two towers, masters of the other two squires who had taken part in the attack on the crannogman, were victorious the next morning. A mystery knight known as the Knight of the Laughing Tree challenged and defeated all three of the knights, however, with the porcupine knight the first of the three knights to fall. The commons cheered because he was not well loved, and the Knight of the Laughing Tree instructed him to teach his squire honor when he attempted to ransom his horse and armor.[1]
