The burning of Stone hedge is part of the Lannister invasion of the riverlands during the War of the Five Kings.

Battle

Ser Gregor Clegane and his men burn Stone Hedge and the Bracken lands under orders from Lord Tywin Lannister. One of the daughters of Lord Jonos Bracken is raped by the Mountain. Harry Rivers, the Bastard of Bracken, is also killed by Lannisters at some point during the war.[2][3][4]

Aftermath

Following the Battle of the Camps, Jonos travels from ruined Stone Hedge to Riverrun.[2] Lord Bracken liberates his castle from the Lannisters after Robb Stark is crowned King of the Trident.[3]

During the siege of Raventree after the Red Wedding, Jonos requests land and castles from House Blackwood as recompense for the damage inflicted by the Mountain's men.[4]

Quotes

Gregor Clegane laid waste to my fields, slaughtered my smallfolk, and left Stone Hedge a smoking ruin. Am I now to bend the knee to the ones who sent him?[2]

- Jonos Bracken to Catelyn Stark


Your Mountain stole my harvest and burned everything he could not carry off. He put my castle to the torch and raped one of my daughters. I will have recompense.[4]

- Jonos Bracken to Jaime Lannister
