A Storm of Swords – The Knight of the Laughing Tree

The Knight of the Laughing Tree makes their appearance at the tourney.
I am pretty neutral on the theories about who the knight is. So, I stuck with Meera’s description, which is of a slight individual wearing kit-bashed hand-me-down armor.
Frankly, my only problem with this story is this, keeping in mind Meera is telling this as a fairy tale where she drops a lot of the details. Wouldn’t a mystery knight have to work their way up the lists before they could challenge anyone?

“No one knew,” said Meera, “but the mystery knight was short of stature, and clad in ill-fitting armor made up of bits and pieces. The device upon his shield was a heart tree of the old gods, a white weirwood with a laughing red face.”
