299 AC
|
Year 299 After the Conquest (299 AC) is a year in the Westerosi calendar, the 299th after Aegon's crowning in Oldtown that maesters and educated people use as a reference to date the years.
299 AC is marked by the War of the Five Kings, and sees all the major battles of the conflict. During the year, three of the claimants die: Renly Baratheon is killed in his own camp through sorcery, Balon Greyjoy falls to his death from a bridge, and Robb Stark is murdered in the Red Wedding. Stannis Baratheon's options suffer a severe blowback after being defeated at the Battle of the Blackwater, leaving the Lannister-Tyrell alliance as the victors of the war. This alliance is cemented by the betrothal of Joffrey Baratheon and Margaery Tyrell, scheduled for the first day of year 300 AC. Meanwhile, in Essos, Daenerys Targaryen gives birth to three dragon hatchlings.
The final chapters A Game of Thrones, all chapters from A Clash of Kings and most of A Storm of Swords take place during 299 AC.
