==Biography==
Humfrey fought in the trial by seven of Duncan the Tall.
==In the books==
In the Dunk & Egg novellas, Humfrey Hardyng was a renowned tourney knight and the brother-in-law of Humfrey Beesbury.
In 208 AC, he won a great mêlée at Maidenpool in which he defeated Ser Donnel of Duskendale, as well as Lords Arryn and Royce.
In 209 AC, he participated in the tourney at Ashford Meadow. He defeated Lord Medgar Tully by unhorsing him on the second lance, then fighting him with sword on the ground. His next opponent was Ser Joseth Mallister, whom he knocked unconscious. Then, in what the smallfolk called the "Battle of Humfrey," he jousted against his brother-in-law Humfrey Beesbury and broke a dozen lances. He ultimately defeated Beesbury, and went on to defeat fourteen knights in total on the first day of the tourney. Finally, he rode against Prince Aerion Targaryen; Aerion lanced Humfrey's horse in the neck, killing it. As Humfrey attempted to leap free, his foot got caught in a stirrup and he shrieked as his leg was crushed between the splintered fence and the fallen horse. As Aerion had dishonored himself by killing his opponent's horse, Humfrey was declared the victor. He was tended by Prince Baelor's own maester.
Looking to take revenge upon Prince Aerion, Humfrey supported Duncan the Tall in his trial of seven. He died of his wounds following the trial.
