Ser Robyn Rhysling
A grizzled one-eyed knight who lost the eye to a splintered lance and never missed it — one of the six who stand with a hedge knight when it counts.
A soul born at The Reach.
The fuller tale
Season One
Ser Humfrey Hardyng, broken leg and all, demands a place against the prince who killed his horse. Ser Humfrey Beesbury and Ser Robyn Rhysling stand with him.
Where they stand. Ashford Meadow.
Their story
A grizzled, one-eyed knight of the Reach, Ser Robyn Rhysling wears the loss of an eye to a splintered lance the way other men wear a badge of honor — a permanent reminder of the tourney’s real dangers, worn without complaint by a man who never seems to have missed the eye particularly.
When the trial of seven leaves Dunk short of champions and every landed knight on the meadow suddenly discovers pressing business elsewhere, Robyn Rhysling is among the handful who step forward anyway — proof that the trial draws at least a few men of genuine conviction rather than only glory-seekers, and that a scarred veteran’s sense of what is owed to justice can outweigh whatever caution his experience might otherwise counsel.
How it ends for them
The chronicle records no death for this soul — they are living when the tale leaves them, or their ending is a page the maesters have yet to turn.

Where the page and the screen part
Ser Robyn Rhysling’s casting has not been prominently detailed in the show’s publicity, consistent with a character whose page presence, while memorable, is limited to his role among Dunk’s trial champions.
Their journey
Where the two tellings send them to the same place the road runs whole; where they part, the screen keeps the left and the books the right.
