This episode kind of shows where Cersei gets her hate for Tyrion from. Robert and Tyrion have both called out Cersei for trying to imitate her father, Tywin. So it’s a learned behaviour from Tywin that Cersei implemented into her own personality.

In the books it was told that someone, Cersei iirc, sent assassins to murder Barristan after dismissing him. Since he left his sword and armor, he was "weakened". They later found the assassins bodies and no trace of Barristan.
The man is THE living legend of this universe. The only man who could defead him is a man using a special sword who died years ago. With a normal blade, no man bested Barristan
