Chapter Two - Sansa 1 - A Clash of Kings | A Song of Ice and Fire

Published: Feb. 1, 2021, 5 a.m.

It\\u2019s King Joffrey\\u2019s nameday! He celebrates by being cruel and unpleasant. Sansa saves the hapless Ser Dontos Hollard with a little help from the Hound. The celebration is curtailed by the arrival of Tyrion with his mountain tribes. Simon and Mac join the festivities.

Chapter Review:
Sansa is escorted by Ser Arys Oakheart to the tourney for Joffrey\\u2019s name day. En route, they speculate as to the meaning of the red comet that dominates the sky. The tourney is a pale shadow of Ned\\u2019s tourney a few months earlier. The royal family is confined to the Red Keep for safety and so it\\u2019s held in the small outer bailey. Since many of the noble houses are now in open or covert rebellion, the list of participants is also much diminished.

The feeble jousts are enlivened by drunken Ser Dontos Hollard\\u2019s arrival, sans pants and sans horse. Joffrey aims to kill him for sport but Sansa saves Hollard\\u2019s skin with a bit of quick thinking, oddly backed-up by Sandor Clegane. Ser Dontos is pegged as Joffrey\\u2019s new fool.

Tyrion arrives with his mountain clans. He gives Joffrey some grief and offers and receives apologies from Sansa for the behavior of their respective families. Sansa is touched by his kindness, but reminds herself that he\\u2019s still a Lannister, they\\u2019re good at appearing kind.
