A grizzled knight of the Reach, salt-and-pepper of beard and sworn to the lineage of House Rhysling, who rode in the great tourney at Ashford Meadow in the year 209 AC, the same lists set down in The Hedge Knight. Five years before that gathering he had lost an eye to a splinter from a shattered lance, and rode thereafter with but a single eye to read the field. At Ashford he dared a tilt against Lord Leo Tyrell, called Leo Longthorn, the Lord of Highgarden, and in their first course lost his helm to that lord's point; though his head was left bare and unguarded, he would not yield, and three more times the two rode at each other before Leo, too chivalrous to aim at an unprotected face, at last struck him square upon the breastplate over the heart and sent him cartwheeling to the earth. When Ser Duncan the Tall stood accused by Prince Aerion Targaryen and a trial of seven was demanded to settle the matter, it was the boy prince Aegon, who knew Robyn from earlier tourneys, who brought him to stand among Duncan's seven champions. Upon the field he acquitted himself well, unhorsing Prince Daeron Targaryen at the very first pass. The chronicles set down no further word of his end.
