The tourney at Lannisport was a tourney held outside of Lannisport to celebrate King Robert I Baratheon's victory over Greyjoy's Rebellion in 289 AC.
History
The victor of the joust was Lord Jorah Mormont, who wore the favor of Lynesse Hightower and was awarded the win by King Robert I Baratheon after breaking nine lances against Ser Jaime Lannister. Jorah crowned Lynesse his queen of love and beauty, requesting and receiving her hand in marriage from her father, Lord Leyton Hightower, that night. The pair then wed in Lannisport.[1]

Quotes
I fight as well as any man, Khaleesi, but I have never been a tourney knight. Yet with Lynesse's favor knotted round my arm, I was a different man. I won joust after joust. Lord Jason Mallister fell before me, and Bronze Yohn Royce. Ser Ryman Frey, his brother Ser Hosteen, Lord Whent, Strongboar, even Ser Boros Blount of the Kingsguard, I unhorsed them all. In the last match, I broke nine lances against Jaime Lannister to no result, and King Robert gave me the champion's laurel. I crowned Lynesse queen of love and beauty, and that very night went to her father and asked for her hand. I was drunk, as much on glory as on wine. By rights I should have gotten a contemptuous refusal, but Lord Leyton accepted my offer. We were married there in Lannisport, and for a fortnight I was the happiest man in the wide world.[1]
Arstan: I have seen a hundred tournaments and more wars than I would wish, and however strong or fast or skilled a knight may be, there are others who can match him. A man will win one tourney, and fall quickly in the next. A slick spot in the grass may mean defeat, or what you ate for supper the night before. A change in the wind may bring the gift of victory. Or a lady's favor knotted round an arm.
Jorah: Be careful what you say, old man.[3]
