Trial by Combat at the Eyrie
In the Eyrie, Tyrion Lannister demands a trial by combat. The sellsword Bronn champions him against Ser Vardis Egen, the champion of Lysa Arryn. Bronn wins by using the environment and tiring out his heavily armored opponent, killing him. Tyrion is freed but must flee the Vale. This event showcases Tyrion's cunning and Bronn's skill, and it further strains relations between the Starks and Lannisters.
