Lion's Tooth[a] was a sword owned by Prince Joffrey Baratheon. Its name was a reference to the sigil of House Lannister, a lion, the house of Joffrey's mother, Queen Cersei Lannister.
History[]
Game of Thrones: Season 1[]
Joffrey and Sansa come across Arya and her friend Mycah playing at swordfighting with sticks. Joffrey threatens Mycah with Lion's Tooth, cutting his cheek with it. Ayra strikes Joffrey in Mycah's defense, and Joffrey turns on her, slashing at her with the sword. Nymeria attacks Joffrey in Arya's defense, causing him to drop Lion's Tooth. Ayra picks it up and, after holding it to Joffrey's wimpering face, tosses it into the Trident. The sword is never recovered.[1]
Game of Thrones: Season 2[]
On the eve of the Battle of the Blackwater, Joffrey has it replaced with a new sword, Hearteater.[2]
In the books[]
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the history of the sword is the same.
Later, in the third novel, Arya inaccurately remembers the name of Joffrey's sword as "Lion's Paw" instead of "Lion's Tooth". George R.R. Martin has stated that he intended this mistake in-universe (it wasn't a typographical error), one of his points highlighting that the characters' memories are not infallible.[3]
