The burning of Stone Hedge is part of the Lannister invasion of the riverlands during the War of the Five Kings.

Battle

Ser Gregor Clegane and the Mountain's men burn Stone Hedge and the Bracken lands under orders from Lord Tywin Lannister.[2] The Mountain rapes a daughter of Lord Jonos Bracken and steals or burns the Bracken harvest.[3] Harry Rivers, the Bastard of Bracken, is killed by Lannisters at some point during the war.[4]

Aftermath

Following the Battle of the Camps, Jonos travels from ruined Stone Hedge to Riverrun.[5] Lord Bracken liberates his castle from the Lannisters after Robb Stark is crowned King of the Trident.[6]

During the siege of Raventree after the Red Wedding, Jonos requests land and castles from House Blackwood as recompense for the damage inflicted by the Mountain's men.[3]

After the burning, Lady Bracken spends most of her time praying with her septon.[3]

Quotes

Gregor Clegane laid waste to my fields, slaughtered my smallfolk, and left Stone Hedge a smoking ruin. Am I now to bend the knee to the ones who sent him?[5]

Your Mountain stole my harvest and burned everything he could not carry off. He put my castle to the torch and raped one of my daughters. I will have recompense.[3]
