The fall of Raventree Hall is part of the Lannister invasion of the riverlands during the War of the Five Kings.

Prelude

After the battle at the Mummer's Ford, Lord Tywin Lannister leads his 20,000 men northeast toward the ruby ford. Tywin's son, Ser Jaime Lannister, captures Ser Edmure Tully in a battle under the walls of Riverrun. Tytos Blackwood, Lord of Raventree Hall, holds Riverrun while it is besieged by Jaime.[2]

Fall of Raventree Hall

Without Lord Tytos to lead the defense, Raventree Hall falls to the army of Tywin and his brother, Ser Kevan Lannister.[2][3] Tywin's host goes on to capture Harrenhal and Darry, and sack Maidenpool, whilst Ser Gregor Clegane is deployed to burn Pinkmaiden and Stone Hedge.

Aftermath

Tywin leaves Raventree under the control of a Lannister garrison. Later, after Robb Stark's victories at the Whispering Wood and the Battle of the Camps and Tywin's retreat to Harrenhal, Raventree Hall is liberated by Lord Tytos.[4]

Notes

  1. ↑ Houses Brax, Clegane, Crakehall, Lefford, Lydden, Marbrand, Payne, Serrett, and Swyft are not directly mentioned at Raventree. However, as men from these houses are part of Tywin Lannister's host in the riverlands, they may be present at Raventree.
