(Redirected from 298AC)
Year 298 After the Conquest (298 AC) is a year in the Westerosi calendar, the 298th after Aegon I Targaryen's crowning in Oldtown which maesters and educated people use as a reference to date the years.
298 AC sees the death of Jon Arryn, who had been Hand of the King for fifteen years. King Robert I Baratheon entrusts the post to his childhood friend, Lord Eddard Stark, and betrothes his heir, Prince Joffrey Baratheon, to Eddard's eldest daughter, Sansa Stark. After Robert dies from a hunting accident, Eddard declares that Queen Cersei Lannister's children are actually bastards and cannot inherit the Iron Throne. Eddard is arrested and Joffrey is crowned. Several nobles oppose the new king in open revolt, setting the stage of the conflict that would be known as the War of the Five Kings.
Many chapters from A Game of Thrones take place during 298 AC.
