Joffrey Lonmouth, known as the Knight of Kisses, was a knight from House Lonmouth during the reign of King Viserys I Targaryen.[2]
In the television adaptation House of the Dragon, Joffrey is portrayed by Solly McLeod.[3]
Character
Joffrey was a rumored lover to Ser Laenor Velaryon, the heir to Driftmark.[2]
History
Ser Joffrey was Laenor Velaryon's favorite knight and companion. At Laenor's wedding to Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, Joffrey rode as Laenor's champion in the tourney while Ser Harwin Strong rode for the princess. During the tourney, Ser Criston Cole attacked him with a morningstar and cracked his helm. He died six days later without recovering consciousness; Laenor never left his side and wept at his death.[2]
Ser Laenor wanted to name his first son, Jacaerys, after him, but was overruled by his father, Lord Corlys Velaryon. Instead, Laenor's third son, Joffrey, bore his name.[2]
