A Game of Thrones
At the beginning of the War of the Five Kings, the population of Sherrer is decimated, and their houses burned by the Mountain's men posing as brigands. The people find shelter in their stone holdfast during the raid on Sherrer, and the brigands consider setting a fire to smoke them out before deciding to attack the Mummer's Ford instead.[1]
Afterwards, the surviving villagers are brought to King's Landing by Ser Karyl Vance, Ser Raymun Darry, and Ser Marq Piper, as witnesses against the raiders. The former owner of the destroyed alehouse, Joss, tells of the attack to the Hand of the King, Lord Eddard Stark, and his story is corroborated by an old man who used to work in Ser Willum's stables. In response, Eddard sends a force led by Lord Beric Dondarrion to bring Ser Gregor Clegane to the king's justice.[1]
