[[Mace Tyrell]], [[Lord of Highgarden]], gives the chalice to King [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I Baratheon]] on the morning of his wedding to [[Margaery Tyrell]]. Since [[Robb Stark]] was slain in the [[Red Wedding]] and the [[ironborn]] have conquered parts of the [[north]], Joffrey jokes that the [[direwolf]] on the chalice should be replaced with a [[kraken|squid]].{{ref|ASOS|59}}

During [[Purple Wedding|the wedding feast]], a cupbearer pours a flagon of [[Arbor red]] into the chalice. Joffrey uses both hands to lift the chalice when he announces the beginning of festivities, and he and Margaery share a drink from the chalice.{{ref|ASOS|60}} When [[Tyrion Lannister]] insults the king, Joffrey responds by pouring the chalice over his uncle, drenching Tyrion in wine. Joffrey names Tyrion as his cupbearer, but the king kicks the chalice away when Tyrion tries to retrieve it. Once Tyrion recovers the chalice from underneath the table, he refills it with a flagon from a serving girl.{{ref|ASOS|60}} Joffrey chokes to death while eating pigeon pie and drinking from the chalice, and Tyrion pours the remaining wine out of the chalice. Queen [[Cersei Lannister]] accuses her brother of having killed her son.{{ref|ASOS|60}}

Stories spread about the king's death; one tale claims that Tyrion drank Joffrey's blood from a gold chalice.{{ref|ASOS|62}} During Tyrion's trial for Joffrey's murder, it is testified by two serving men, a [[juggler]], Lord [[Gyles Rosby]], Ser [[Hobber Redwyne]], and Ser [[Philip Foote]] that each had seen Tyrion fill the chalice. Lady [[Taena Merryweather]] states she thought she saw Tyrion put something into the wine when the pigeon pie was being cut. [[Lord Estermont]], [[Josmyn Peckledon]], [[Galyeon of Cuy]], and [[Morros Slynt|Morros]] and [[Jothos Slynt]] recall Tyrion having emptied the chalice as Joffrey died.{{ref|ASOS|66}} Grand Maester [[Pycelle]] accuses Tyrion of having [[poison]]ed Joffrey with the [[strangler]].{{ref|ASOS|66}} Lord Tyrell, one of the judges, wants Tyrion to be executed, since his daughter Margaery had also been drinking from the chalice during the feast.{{ref|ASOS|66}} Ser [[Loras Tyrell]], Margaery's brother, believes that [[Sansa Stark]] was the [[poison]]er, since she had fled from the hall and disappeared from [[King's Landing]].{{ref|ASOS|72}}

While at the [[Drearfort|Fingers]], Sansa learns from Lord [[Petyr Baelish]] that Joffrey had been poisoned through the efforts of Margaery's grandmother, [[Olenna Tyrell]]. Petyr indicates that Olenna had removed one of the purple [[amethyst]]s from [[Asshai]] which had decorated Sansa's [[silver hair net]], suggesting the amethyst contained poison.{{ref|ASOS|68}}
