− | ==Prelude==
| |
− | Following the [[fall of Harrenhal]] to Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]] and the two defeats at the [[Battle of the Burning Mill|Burning Mill]] and [[taking of Stone Hedge|Stone Hedge]], King [[Aegon II Targaryen]] stripped Ser [[Otto Hightower]] of his title of [[Hand of the King]] and granted it to Ser [[Criston Cole]], [[Lord Commander of the Kingsguard]]. Criston advised moving against the "traitors" that had bent the knee to Princess [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]]. As [[House Velaryon]] and [[House Celtigar]] were unreachable, he marched on the "[[blacks|black]]" lords on the mainland.{{Ref|TPATQ}}{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aegon II}}
