Edgar Yronwood
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.
