The Battle of Ashford was a battle fought during Robert's Rebellion between royal and rebel forces at Ashford, the seat of House Asford.
The battle occured when the van of the army of the Reach under command of Randyll Tarly ran into the Robert's forces. Before even their main army could join them Tarly's forces overrun Robert's army. Because the result is rememberred as inconclusive the battle was probably not very large and Robert's forces remained relatively intact. Former Targaryen loyalist Lord Cafferen, who had joined the rebels after his defeat at Summerhal, was killed in the battle. Tarly had his head sent to Aerys II.
[edit] Aftermath
After the battle Robert travelled to the North to link up with his allies. The victorious Tyrell-army invaded the Stormlands and went on to besiege Storm's End.
