The duel between Ser Robb Reyne and Ser Gwayne Corbray of the Kingsguard is difficult to follow with the eyes, slashes, parries, dodges and blocks. Whatever one might think of Lady Mya and her foul mouth, a daughter of kings is typically defended by the king's own knights, at least those with the additional privilege of being born to one of the official mistresses. The Red Lion appears to snatch victory by brute force, but many notes how easily things could have been different if only the cointoss of the warrior had landed on the other side once or twice.

By the Seven, this is the stuff of songs!
This was a welcome relief after several other matches finished too early for his taste, so he cheered both the skill of Ser Robb in emerging victorious but also the bravery of Ser Gwayne in fighting to the last. The Kingsguard had to be both skillful and brave to fulfill their roles - many had died in the line of duty. Ser Gwayne had not chosen this fight, and Lady Mya's cause was unworthy - typical bastard behaviour. Despite it all, Ser Gwayne had been a true white cloak and done his duty to the royal blood.
Roland even felt he may have learned something from the bout, as with better luck Ser Gwayne's defensive tactics might have paid off. For his own part, he chiefly employed such tactics when outnumbered by weaker opponents, but there was clearly merit in experimenting with such against men of Ser Daeron Waters' caliber. Or Rennifer's. Roland's hand went to the wound at his neck.
While others might have been keen to see King Daeron's loyalists score a political point, Roland focused instead on enjoying a dazzling display and relief that his niece's battered reputation was defended, as she had been among the many Mya Rivers had slandered last night.

Politics be damned, this was a bout Titus would remember. He'd be lying if he didn't admit to having dreamt of a white cloak as a boy and Ser Gwayne with Lady Forlorn in his hand was the very stuff such dreams where made of. And to se him and The Red Lion go toe-to-to against eachother for so long truly spoke of their talents as knights. Ser Robb's victory unexpected in the sense that it seemed like the duel would never end but when it came, Titus cheered for the champion of Castermere.
