History

Ser Harwin was brought to court by his father, Lord Lyonel Strong, alongside his brother Larys and his two sisters.[4]

Princess Rhaenyra granted Harwin her favor at the tourney celebrating her wedding with Ser Laenor Velaryon. At that tourney, Ser Criston Cole broke his collarbone and shattered his elbow. Thereafter the fool Mushroom called him Brokenbones.[1]
