Synopsis
Catelyn and the men guarding her are nearing Renly’s camp. She remembers Robb telling her she would be best suited to treat with the king, that an alliance could turn the war, especially since all his messages to his aunt Lysa have been ignored and the Eyrie will not stir.
Catelyn is soon escorted to King Renly, and sees the might of his army, near a hundred thousand strong. They are holding a tourney, and Cat watches the folly until the victor is declared. The last two standing were Loras and Brienne, with Brienne the victor. She asks to be made a member of the Rainbow Guard, and Renly grants her request. The crowd mocks her as "the Beauty", as Brienne is quite ugly. She is even taller than Renly, yet obviously a fierce warrior. Catelyn is disturbed that Renly is holding a tourney when he should be marching on King's Landing.
Renly greets her with courtesy and is very cordial. Catelyn is invited to the feast after the tourney, and then walks alone with Renly at the King’s behest. He relates how he offered 100 men to Ned during Robert’s last hours, and how Ned turned him down. He reveals that Mace Tyrell has another 10,000 men atHighgarden, and that he expects the Dornishmen to join him. Renly asserts that he must have Robb’s loyalty, and that Robb must bend the knee. As they converse, a rider comes to the gates with word that Storm's End is besieged by King Stannis.
