Stone Hedge, sometimes called the Stone Hedge,[2] is the seat of House Bracken in the riverlands.

Geography

Stone Hedge is located south of the Red Fork and the Inn of the Kneeling Man, north of High Heart and Acorn Hall, and east of Riverrun.[3] Blackwood Vale, home to the Brackens' rivals from House Blackwood, is located across the Red Fork to the north.[4]

History

When Lord Lothar Bracken rebelled against King Harwyn Hoare, the ironborn sacked and destroyed Stone Hedge, and starved Lothar in a crow cage.[5]

Early in the Dance of the Dragons, Stone Hedge was taken by Prince Daemon Targaryen after the Battle of the Burning Mill, with Daemon using Harrenhal as a base of operations.[6][7]

Although born in King's Landing, Aegor Rivers was raised at Stone Hedge, the ancestral home of his mother, Barba Bracken.[8]
