'''Gerion Lannister''' was a member of [[House Lannister]]. He was the youngest and most reckless brother of [[Tywin Lannister]], the head of the house.<ref>[[A Storm of Swords]], [[A Storm of Swords-Chapter 32|Chapter 32]]</ref> [[Tyrion]] and [[Jaime Lannister| Jaime]] often refer to him as their favourite uncle. He prized and supported Tyrion when the dwarf recite historical facts memorized by heart or cartwheeled across the supper table in Casterly Rock's great hall.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Like his brothers, [[Kevan Lannister|Kevan]] and [[Tygett Lannister|Tygett]], Gerion was overshadowed by their older brother Tywin Lannister. While Kevan build up a life near Tywin and Tygget tried to be independent, Gerion mocked this "game" and made jokes.<ref>[[A Feast for Crows]], [[A Feast for Crows-Chapter 32|Chapter 32]], Jaime</ref><br />
<br />
Gerion had a natural daughter; [[Joy Hill]]. The mother is not mentioned in the books. Later Gerion went on a quest to find the ancestral sword [[Brightroar]] and any other treasures that might have survived the Doom circa [[292 AL]].<ref>Tyrion states he was eighteen when Gerion left.[[A Dance with Dragons]], [[Tyrion VIII (A Dance with Dragons)|Tyrion VIII]]</ref> Almost a decade passed after his ship the ''[[Laughing Lion]]'' left [[Lannisport]] but Gerion never returned.<ref>[[A Dance with Dragons]], [[Tyrion VIII (A Dance with Dragons)|Tyrion VIII]]</ref> Tywin Lannister sent men to look for his lost brother and they traced him as far as [[Volantis]], where half his crew had deserted him because of his intent to sail into the [[Smoking Sea]]. He had to buy slaves to replace them <ref>[[A Dance with Dragons]], [[Tyrion VIII (A Dance with Dragons)|Tyrion VIII]]</ref>. What happened to him and if he is still alive is unknown.<br />

'''Robert's Rebellion''', also known as the '''War of the Usurper''', was a rebellion against [[House Targaryen]], primarily instigated by [[Eddard Stark]], [[Jon Arryn]], and [[Robert Baratheon]], for whom it is named. The war resulted in the end of the Targaryens dynasty in the [[Seven Kingdoms]] and the beginning of Robert Baratheon's reign.<br />
<br />
==Causes==<br />
The conflict began when [[Brandon Stark]], who was about to be married to [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn Tully]], learned that his sister, [[Lyanna Stark]], had been kidnapped by [[Rhaegar Targaryen]]. Despite the pleading of [[Hoster Tully]] for patience, Brandon rode to the city of [[King's Landing]]. There, he went into the [[Red Keep]] shouting for Prince Rhaegar to come out and die. King [[Aerys II]] had Brandon arrested for threatening the crown prince, and summoned [[House_Stark#Rickard|Rickard Stark]], Brandon's father and Lord of [[Winterfell]], to King’s Landing to fight in a trial by combat for his son’s treason. Aerys had Brandon and Rickard killed, with two hundred of Lord Stark’s best men.<br />
<br />
Along with the Starks, Brandon's companions, [[Jeffory Mallister]], [[Kyle Royce]], and [[Elbert Arryn]] (nephew and heir of Lord [[Jon Arryn]] of the Vale), were accused of treason, and when their fathers came to King’s Landing to answer for their sons’ indiscretions, they were all killed after perfunctory trials by King Aerys. Brandon's squire [[Ethan Glover]], however, was not killed along with his companions. When Aerys demanded that Jon Arryn release [[Robert Baratheon]] and [[Eddard Stark]] so that they too could be executed, Jon instead raised his banners in revolt. However, many of Jon's bannermen sided with the King, chief among them Lord Grafton, who called the other loyalists to aid him in barring Jon and Robert from entering his port of Gulltown. After the fall of Gulltown's defenses, Robert was able to return to [[Storm's End]], while Eddard returned North. Both men called on their own bannermen.<br />
<br />
[[House Tully]] was recruited to the rebels when Eddard and Jon married [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]] and [[Lysa Tully|Lysa]] respectively, the daughters of [[Hoster Tully]], Lord of Riverrun.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 2|Chapter 2]], Catelyn</ref> The other great houses, [[House Tyrell|Tyrell]] and [[House Martell|Martell]] stayed loyal to the throne. There is no information about the choice of [[House Greyjoy]].<br />
<br />
==Events==<br />
===Battle of Summerhall===<br />
The '''Battle of Summerhall''' (1 on the map) was actually three battles all fought on one day. Robert hit three independent loyalist forces before they could converge upon him. Lords Grandison, Cafferen, and Fell planned to join their hosts at [[Summerhall]] and march on Storm’s End, but Robert learned of their plans and struck first, attacking each army individually. Lord Fell died in the battle and Robert's forces captured his son, Silveraxe. Lords Grandison and Cafferen, both loyalist commanders, went over to Robert after the battle, as did Silveraxe.<br />
<br />
===Battle of Ashford===<br />
:::{{main|Battle of Ashford}}<br />
The '''Battle of Ashford''' (2 on the map) was an indecisive victory for loyalist forces when [[Randyll Tarly]]'s van smashed Robert’s forces before the bulk of [[Mace Tyrell]]’s main force could be brought to bear. Lord Cafferen, a former Loyalist turned rebel after the Battle of Summerhall, was cut down by Randyll Tarly while fighting under Robert’s banner. Lord Tarly sent Lord Cafferen’s head to King Aerys. By all indications, the battle was indecisive, however Mace likes to remember it as his one great victory over Robert.<br />
<br />
===Battle of the Bells===<br />
:::{{main|Battle of the Bells}}<br />
The '''Battle of the Bells''' (3 on the map) took place at [[Stoney Sept]]. Aerys’ forces were chasing after Robert Baratheon, attempting to cut him off from Eddard Stark’s forces. Robert was wounded and hiding in Stoney Sept. [[Jon Connington]], the [[Hand of the King|Hand]], took the town by force and began searching from house to house. Eddard and Hoster Tully's forces swept into the town. Connington fought back fiercely. Robert came out at that point and led a counterattack. When Connington saw the battle was lost, he ordered an orderly retreat. After the battle, Aerys realized that Robert was not some outlaw lord, but rather the greatest threat to the realm since [[Daemon Blackfyre]]. He exiled Lord Connington for his failure and ordered his [[Alchemists' Guild|pyromancers]] to place caches of [[wildfire]] throughout King’s Landing, even within the Red Keep itself. <br />
<br />
===Battle of the Trident===<br />
:::{{main|Battle of the Trident}}<br />
The '''Battle of the Trident''' (4 on the map) was the decisive battle of the war, matching the forces of Robert against the Targaryen loyalists. Rhaegar and Robert met in single combat on the ford of the [[Trident]] while the battle crashed around them. Robert slew Rhaegar with a blow to the chest from his warhammer so powerful that it smashed the rubies right from the armor. After Rhaegar fell, the Targaryen host broke and ran. <br />
Because Robert had suffered a grievous wound in the battle, he gave the command of the army to [[Eddard Stark]].<br />
<br />
===Sack of King's Landing===<br />
:::{{main|Sack of King's Landing}}<br />
The '''Sack of King’s Landing''' (5 on the map) occurred one year into the rebellion. Lord [[Tywin Lannister]], who had remained neutral until the Battle of the Trident, marched to the gates of King’s Landing, claiming loyalty to Aerys and asking to be let in. Aerys favored the advice of [[Pycelle|Grand Maester Pycelle]] over that of his spymaster [[Varys]] and opened the gates of the city. The Lannister forces then began to sack the city in Robert's name. Aerys ordered his most recent Hand, the [[Alchemists' Guild|pyromancer]] Rossart, to ignite the wildfire caches throughout the city, saying, "Let him [Robert] be king over charred bones and cooked meat. Let him be the king of ashes." <br />
<br />
Aerys then ordered [[Jaime Lannister]], one of his Kingsguard and Tywin's own son, to kill his father. Instead, Jaime slew Lord Rossart and then murdered Aerys himself on the [[Iron Throne]]. Tywin sent his knights [[Gregor Clegane]] and [[Amory Lorch]] to deal with the rest of the royal family, securing the throne for Robert and proving that [[House Lannister]] had forsaken the Targaryens forever. Gregor killed the baby crown prince Aegon while his mother watched, and then proceeded to rape and murder Princess Elia herself. Amory dragged princess Rhaenys from under her father's bed and killed her. When Eddard Stark arrived shortly thereafter, he found Jaime seated on the Iron Throne and Aerys's corpse slumped below it. Tywin Lannister presented the bodies of Elia, Aegon and Rhaenys as tokens of his fealty. The resulting argument led to Eddard Stark riding out alone to finish the war in the south.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 12|Chapter 12]], Eddard</ref><br />
<br />
===Siege of Storm's End===<br />
:::{{main|Siege of Storm's End}}<br />
Although more attrition than actual battle, the '''Siege of Storm’s End''' (6 on the map) held up [[Mace Tyrell|Mace Tyrell’s]] forces at Storm's End for the better part of the entire war. During this siege the forces of the Reach, led by Mace and [[Paxter Redwyne]], feasted within sight of the castle while [[Stannis Baratheon]] and his men starved inside. Help eventually came in the form of [[Davos Seaworth]], who smuggled a cargo of onions past the blockade. In the end, Stannis and his forces held out until Eddard Stark arrived and Lord Tyrell dipped his banners.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 39|Chapter 39]], Eddard</ref><br />
<br />
===Dragonstone===<br />
After the Siege of Storm's End was lifted, Stannis was given command of a fleet to take the last Targaryen stronghold, [[Dragonstone]]. Some nine months or more earlier, before the Sack of King's Landing, [[Rhaella Targaryen|Queen Rhaella]] and [[Viserys Targaryen|Prince Viserys]] had fled to the island with Ser Willem Darry. The Queen died in childbed giving birth to [[Daenerys Targaryen]] during a great storm that destroyed the Targaryen fleet at anchor.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 3|Chapter 3]], Daenerys</ref><br />
<br />
Before Stannis's arrival, Ser Willem and a handful of men smuggled Viserys, Daenerys, and her wet nurse from the nursery and sailed for [[Braavos]], where the last Targaryens began their lives of wandering exile.<br />
<br />
===Battle of the Tower of Joy - The End of Aerys's Kingsguard===<br />
Ser [[Arthur Dayne]], Ser [[Oswell Whent]], and the Lord Commander of the [[Kingsguard]] [[Gerold Hightower]] had been absent from the battles on the Trident, King's Landing, and Storm's End. They were guarding a small tower, named the [[Tower of Joy]], in the red mountains of Dorne where Prince Rhaegar had been holding [[Lyanna Stark]]. Lord Eddard rode there with a few companions, including [[Howland Reed]], the Lord of Greywater Watch, after lifting the siege of Storm's End. The seven companions fought the three Kingsguard, with only Eddard and Howland surviving. Lyanna died shortly after she extracted a promise from her brother. Afterwards, Eddard rode to [[Starfall]] to deliver Arthur's sword [[Dawn]] to his sister [[House_Dayne#Ashara_Dayne|Ashara Dayne]], who leapt into the sea shortly afterwards.<br />
<br />
==Outcome==<br />
After the war, Robert Baratheon took the Iron Throne and made Jon Arryn his Hand. As Lyanna Stark had died after her abduction, he married Cersei Lannister instead. Arryn negotiated a truce with Dorne, and the Seven Kingdoms confirmed Robert as king. <br />

<br />
House Mormont is one of the few houses to have an ancestral weapon of [[Valyrian steel]]: a bastard sword called [[Longclaw]]. However, due to Bear Island's lack of valuable resources, the Mormonts are a rather poor house. Their hall is made of huge logs, surrounded by an earthen palisade. On the gate is a carving of a woman in a bearskin with a child in one arm suckling at her breast and a battleaxe in the other. Like the other women of Bear Island, the women of House Mormont learn how to defend themselves from [[Iron Islands|ironmen]] and [[wildlings]]. <br />
<br />
==The Mormont House at the end of the third century==<br />
The known Mormonts during the timespan of the events described on [[A Song of Ice and Fire]] are:<br />
<br />

'''House Bolton of the Dreadfort''' is an old line descended from the [[First Men]] and dating back to the Age of Heroes. Their sigil is a flayed man, red on pink.<ref>[[A Game of Thrones]], [[A Game of Thrones-Chapter 53|Chapter 53]], Bran</ref><ref>The Citadel. Heraldry: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/Heraldry/Houses/2/#In the North]</ref> Their seat is the [[Dreadfort]] and they are one of the most powerful lords of the North. The Boltons are best known for their practice of flaying their enemies.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Boltons are an ancient and powerful house of the North who for many centuries were bitter rivals of the Kings in the North, the [[House Stark|Starks]] of [[Winterfell]]. The Boltons achieved some successes against the Starks, flaying the skins of several Stark lords and hanging them in their stronghold, the Dreadfort. According to rumour, some Bolton lords even wore the flayed skins of their enemies - including the Starks - as cloaks. This practice has given the Boltons a sinister reputation, and it has been suggested that the Night's King was a Bolton.<br />
<br />
Approximately a thousand years ago, the Boltons finally swore fealty to the Kings in the North and agreed to abandon their tactic of flaying their enemies. However, three hundred years later the Boltons rose in rebellion against the Starks of Winterfell. The Stark armies besieged the Dreadfort for four years before the Boltons finally capitulated and dipped their banners once more. For many centuries the Boltons remained loyal to the Starks, although rumours persised that they continued to flay their prisoners in secret, and maintain a hidden chamber in the Dreadfort to display the skins of their enemies. After Roose Bolton betrayed his fealty to [[Robb Stark]] during the [[Red Wedding]], the Boltons usurped the Starks to became overlords of the North and Roose the Warden of the North.<br />
<br />
==The Bolton House at the end of the third century==<br />
The known Boltons during the timespan of the events described on [[A Song of Ice and Fire]] are:<br />
<br />
* [[Roose Bolton]], Lord of the Dreadfort.<br />
** {[[Bethany Ryswell]]}, his first wife, deceased.<br />
*** {[[Domeric Bolton]]}, his son, deceased.<br />
** [[Fat Walda Frey|Walda Frey]], his new wife, called Fat Walda.<br />
*** [[Ramsay Snow|Ramsay Bolton]], born Snow, his baseborn son.<br />

* Lord Roose commanded the Northern forces at the [[Battle of the Green Fork]], losing to Lord [[Tywin Lannister]].<br />

* Lord Roose sent Ser [[Jaime Lannister]], who had been captured by the Brave Companions, back to his father in [[King's Landing]], the same day he set off for [[Edmure Tully]]'s wedding at [[the Twins]].<br />
* Lord Roose marched north to [[the Twins]] three days after [[Aenys Frey]]. He watched as his rearguard under Ser [[Wylis Manderly]] was chewed up by Ser [[Gregor Clegane]]. He left six hundred men under the command of Ser [[Kyle Condon]] and [[Ronnel Stout]] to guard the [[Trident]]. He came to the Twins with three thousand foot and five hundred mounted horse, most of which were Bolton or [[House Karstark|Karstark]] men.<br />
