The knight of the two towers was a knight from House Frey who rode in the tourney at Harrenhal.[1] His given name is unknown.[N 1]
Character
[edit]The knight of the two towers was not well loved by the commons.[1]
History
[edit]A knight of House Frey,[2] the so-called knight of the two towers attended the tourney at Harrenhal. A crannogman was attacked by three squires, servants of the knight of the two towers, the pitchfork knight, and the porcupine knight. Each of three knights advanced in the lists during the tourney. On the second day of the lists, a mystery knight known as the Knight of the Laughing Tree challenged and defeated first the porcupine knight, then the pitchfork knight, and lastly the knight of the two towers; the commons cheered because all three were not well loved. The Knight of the Laughing Tree instructed the defeated knights to teach their squires honor, and the mystery knight returned horses and armor after each squire was sharply chastised.[1]

Quotes
[edit]Meera: Amidst all this merriment, the little crannogman spied the three squires who'd attacked him. One served a pitchfork knight, one a porcupine, while the last attended a knight with two towers on his surcoat, a sigil all crannogmen know well.

Notes
[edit]- ↑ As Lord Walder Frey's descendants are extensively documented, it is possible that the knight of the two towers is the same person as one of the named members of House Frey.
