Edgar Yronwood
On this tab
Edgar Yronwood was Bloodroyal, Lord of Yronwood, and Warden of the Stone Way, head of House Yronwood in Dorne, and father of Ormond Yronwood.
His name became tied in the history of Westeros to that of a still-teenage Martell prince, whom he challenged to a duel over a matter of honor — a duel that gave rise to the name which would follow that prince for the rest of his life.
Duel with Oberyn
Edgar found his lover in bed with Prince Oberyn Martell, then sixteen years old, and challenged him to a duel. Given the prince's youth and royal blood, the fight was agreed to end at first blood, and both men were wounded.
Oberyn recovered quickly from his wounds. Edgar's became infected, and he died of them. A rumor spread afterward that the prince had fought with a poisoned blade, and from then on friends and enemies alike began calling him the Red Viper.
