Year 259 After the Conquest (259 AC) is a year in the Westerosi calendar, the 259th after Aegon's crowning in Oldtown that maesters and educated people use as a reference to date the years.

It was the year of the Tragedy of Summerhall, when king Aegon's attempts to hatch dragons lead to his death and many others.

Summerhall castle is consumed by fire as Prince Rhaegar Targaryen is born, as depicted by Marc Simonetti. Fantasy Flight Games ©
