The Court Trial of Tyrion Lannister is an event during the War of the Five Kings, in which Tyrion Lannister is put on trial for the assassination of King Joffrey Baratheon at his wedding feast. It is quickly apparent that the spectacle is a mere show trial.

abstract
| - The Court Trial of Tyrion Lannister is an event during the War of the Five Kings, in which Tyrion Lannister is put on trial for the assassination of King Joffrey Baratheon at his wedding feast. It is quickly apparent that the spectacle is a mere show trial. Tyrion observes that the presiding judge, his father, has wanted him dead for longer than anyone, and that another of the judges, Mace Tyrell, will vote the same way as Tywin. All the witnesses against Tyrion are either his enemies, or have otherwise been bribed or cajoled by his sister or father into testifying. Most give circumstantial, exaggerated, and sometimes outright false evidence, and Tyrion is not permitted to cross-examine them. It is apparent that Tyrion has no chance of acquittal. Ultimately, he snaps at the injustice, insults the entire court and decides to place his fate in the hands of the Faith of the Seven, demanding a trial by combat.
