Legend says Serwyn of the Mirror Shield got close to the dragon Urrax by showing the dragon its own reflection.
GRRM had Ser Byron Swann try to repeat this trick during the Dance of the Dragons. House Swann's heraldry is two swans facing each other... like a mirror.

There are two Valyrian steel blades in this shot(!) - Vigilance and Orphan-Maker. The former is wielded by Lord Ormund Hightower (James Norton). The latter is wielded by Bold Jon Roxton (Joplin Sibtain, who was Brasso on Andor). #houseofthedragon #hotd

Alys With Three Fingers
Verse 1:
Ohhhh Alys was a special lass, born bereft a' thumb
Lost a digit tending flock now feeling awfully glum
Chorus:
Ohhh Alys with three fingers, a copper in her glass!
Had two fingers less than most, she’ll shove them up your arse! HEY

These lyrics 😆
Prince Baelor was the firstborn
Prince Maekar sprang out last
Daemon was the bastard
so they kicked his bastard...
grass is green in summer
green grass I adore
But grass is red all over
when you kill a rebel...
