Editing Yohn Royce (section)

===''A Feast for Crows''===
After the death of Lysa, Lord Yohn brings five other nobles of the Vale—[[Benedar Belmore]], [[Gilwood Hunter]], [[Horton Redfort]], [[Symond Templeton]], and [[Anya Waynwood]]—to [[Runestone]], where they sign a document forming the [[Lords Declarant]]. Yohn's cousin, Lord [[Nestor Royce]], informs Petyr Baelish about Yohn's intent to question [[Marillion]] about the murder of Lysa, and to remove Petyr from his position as [[Lord Protector of the Vale]].{{Ref|AFFC|10}} 

The Lords Declarant surround the [[Gates of the Moon]] with their hosts. Along with Nestor and Ser [[Lyn Corbray]], they ascend the [[Giant's Lance]] to meet with Lord Baelish at the [[Eyrie]]. [[Sansa Stark]] worries that Yohn may recognize her from his visit to [[Winterfell]] a few years earlier, but Nestor tells his cousin that she is Petyr's [[bastardy|natural]] daughter, Alayne Stone. Yohn declares his intent to foster the young [[Robert Arryn]], [[Lord of the Eyrie]], at [[Runestone]] as his [[ward]] and [[squire]], which Petyr is reluctant to support. When Lyn draws [[Lady Forlorn]] against Ser [[Lothor Brune]], an angry Yohn intervenes to prevent bloodshed. Still, Petyr blames the Lords Declarant for Lyn baring steel during a parley. When the other Lords Declarant allow Lord Baelish a year more to prove himself as Lord Protector, Yohn departs the Eyrie in anger. Afterwards, Petyr reveals to Sansa that Lyn is secretly in his employ. Petyr believes Yohn will be the only member of the Lords Declarant remaining opposed to his plans, but Lord Royce should not be a threat by himself.{{Ref|AFFC|23}}

Bronze Yohn holds [[Mêlée at Runestone|a small melee]] at Runestone only for squires. [[Harrold Hardyng]], Lord Robert's cousin and heir, wins the melee, and Yohn [[knight]]s him as his reward. Lord Royce's daughter, [[Ysilla Royce|Ysilla]], marries Ser [[Mychel Redfort]], which upsets [[Mya Stone]].{{Ref|AFFC|41}}
