"My lord is honored by his trust."
―Kurleket to Catelyn Stark[src]

Kurleket[b] was a man-at-arms sworn to House Bracken.

Biography[]

Background[]

Kurleket is a loyal Man-at-Arms of House Bracken, a vassal house of House Tully. He is traveling the Kingsroad following the Tourney of the Hand.[1]

Game of Thrones: Season 1[]

Kurleket is drinking with companions at the Inn at the Crossroads when Tyrion arrives on his way south. Catelyn is also in the inn. She turns to the knights from the Riverlands to help her to arrest Tyrion, accusing him of attempting to murder Bran. She asserts her origin as a daughter of House Tully, and then tells Kurleket that she recognizes the red stallion of House Bracken and says that her father, Lord Hoster Tully of Riverrun, considers Lord Jonos Bracken one of his most loyal bannermen. Kurleket draws his sword and threatens Tyrion.[1]

Tyrion in the inn

Kurleket holds his sword on Tyrion Lannister at the Crossroads Inn.

Kurleket is among the men who accompany Catelyn into the Vale. The party is attacked by warriors from the hill tribes, and Kurleket dies defending Catelyn.[2]

In the books[]

In A Song of Ice and Fire novels, three men-at-arms from House Bracken accompany Catelyn into the Vale. Kurleket is the leader of the trio, and he is the one who speaks to Catelyn in the inn. He assists in capturing Tyrion and is among the party that travels into the Mountains of the Moon. He is slain during a battle with the Mountain clans.

Kurleket's name is an inside joke by author George R.R. Martin. All three men from House Bracken whom Catelyn recruits at the Crossroads Inn are named "Mohor", "Lharys", and "Kurleket" - as in Moe, Larry, and Curly, the infamous Three Stooges. Martin has himself confirmed the reference.[3]
