The Retaking of Deepwood Motte was an event in the late stages of the War of the Five Kings during the attempt of the Northmen to drive away the invading Ironborn out of the region.

Prelude

Stannis Baratheon under the advice of Jon Snow goes west to take Deepwood Motte which is currently in Ironborn hands and held by Asha Greyjoy. Stannis while moving through the mountains wins the support of the mountain clans Flint, Wull, Norrey and Liddle who were loyal to Eddard Stark.

Battle

Stannis now with an additional three thousand five hundred men attacked Deepwood Motte. Asha Greyjoy seeing she was outnumbered decided to retreat back to the longships. However the Ironborn's movement was slowed due to the darkness, the Northmen by comparison knew the woods well and were not hindered in the same way. The Northmen snuck up on the unsuspecting Ironborn slaying there sentries and closing in around them. The Ironborn fought back fiercely however they were surrounded and outnumbered. Eventually they were all subdued. Meanwhile Alysane Mormont hid fighters in fishing sloops was able to sneak up on the longships off the strand, capturing or burning them.

Aftermath

Stannis takes several of the ironborn captives such as Asha Greyjoy. He frees Sybelle Glover and her children then returns Deepwood Motte back to House Glover. This wins Stannis much popular support in the North.
