Ser Gwayne Gaunt was a knight of House Gaunt and sworn brother of the Kingsguard of Aerys II Targaryen.
Biography[]
Background[]
Gwayne was the thirdborn son of Lord Symon Gaunt.
He won the Tourney of Brightwater Keep, where he crowned Lady Alys Reyne as queen of love and beauty. At a tourney of Bitterbridge, he unmasked a mystery knight, revealing him as Ser Harlan Grandison of the Kingsguard.
He was appointed to the Kingsguard in his 20th year by Aerys II Targaryen. Later, he hunted and killed the Bandit Lords of the Marches, freeing Lady and Lord Dondarrion from the Diamond Cave.
Gwayne broke the siege of White Harbor by the Sea Kings, rescuing Lord Rickard Stark from drowning in the process.
He once defended a lady from the advances of Lord Steffon Baratheon, though he did not escalate the situation on account of Steffon's drunkenness.[1]
Ser Gwayne died during the Defiance of Duskendale, being killed by Ser Symon Hollard.[2]
