Dagmer Cleftjaw castellan of Torrhen's Square

The Sack of Torrhen’s Square takes place during the War of the Five Kings.

The ironborn led by Dagmer Cleftjaw are forced to retreat from Torrhen's Square when Ser Rodrik Cassel leads a force from Winterfell to defend the threatened northern keep. When Rodrik and Leobald Tallhart depart Torrhen's Square for Winterfell, Dagmer returns and his ironmen easily storm the sparsely defended keep. They kill the castellan and take captive Berena Hornwood and her children, Brandon and Beren, as well as her niece, Eddara Tallhart, the heir of Torrhen's Square.[1][2]
