Editing Pycelle (section)

===''A Storm of Swords''===
Pycelle is restored to his position by Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] after he learns the [[Citadel]] is planning on naming [[Gormon Tyrell]] as Pycelle's replacement.{{Ref|ASOS|12}}

Pycelle, with his beard shaved off and weakened from his time in the black cells, appears to be a broken man. He falls asleep during the wedding of King [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey I Baratheon]] and [[Margaery Tyrell]] and is unable to take any action to prevent [[Purple Wedding|Joffrey's death]] at the banquet from poison, something that sours Queen Cersei's opinion of him. During the trial of Tyrion Lannister for Joffrey's murder, Pycelle is called as a witness for the prosecution to discuss poisons and how Tyrion might have killed the king. [[Varys]] confirms Tyrion's theft from [[Pycelle's chambers]].{{Ref|ASOS|66}}

Pycelle continues his service to the newly-crowned King [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen I Baratheon]]. He is ordered by Tywin to heal Ser [[Gregor Clegane]], who was poisoned by Prince [[Oberyn Martell]] in the [[trial by combat]] and is slowly dying in agony. Tywin plans on having Gregor executed to appease [[House Martell]] but needs it to be seen to be the [[King's Justice]] who does the deed, not poison. Pycelle is unsuccessful and Tywin refuses his suggestion of confining the other Dornishmen till they reveal what poison Oberyn used as Tywin cannot risk further offending [[Dorne]]. Tywin fears they might join [[Stannis Baratheon]] which would prolong [[War of the Five Kings|the war]] for years.{{Ref|ASOS|72}}
