Biography
The Winged Knight (left) duels the Griffin King (right)
According to legend, the Griffin King battled the Winged Knight, and was defeated. With the death of the Griffin King, the line of the Mountain Kings was extinguished.[1][2]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire books, the Griffin King is said to have dueled the Winged Knight atop a mountain known as the Giant's Lance. As much of Westeros' old history, this story may be a product of myth and confusion.
