* The weather becomes warmer, causing people to believe that winter is at an end and spring had begun, while in reality, it had not.
* The [[Kingswood Brotherhood]], which had been harassing highborns around the [[Kingswood]] for some time, was defeated by a force with contained at least five of the seven [[Kingsguard]]s Knights of King [[Aerys II Targaryen]]. Only Ser [[Gerold Hightower]], who had been injured in an earlier involvement with the brotherhood, is known to have been absent. Since Ser [[Harlan Grandison]] was mentioned to have died in his sleep shortly after the Brotherhood had been defeated, it is possible that Grandison had died prior to the battles, and the search for a replacement had been put on hold until the Brotherhood had been defeated.
* Ser [[Barristan Selmy]] rescued Lady [[Jeyne Swann]] and her septa from the [[Kingswood Brotherhood]].
* [[Jaime Lannister]] was knighted by Ser [[Arthur Dayne]], for his performance against the [[Kingswood Brotherhood]], shortly after the Brotherhood had been defeated.
* While staying in [[King's Landing]] on his way from the [[Kingswood]] to Casterly Rock, Cersei Lannister convinces her brother Jaime to accept a place in the [[Kingsguard]]. When he accepts, she makes all the arrangements.
* The [[Tourney at Harrenhal]] was held by Lord Whent, after his brother, Ser [[Oswell Whent]] of the [[Kingsguard]] had paid a visit.
** King Aerys II declared a mystery knight, the [[Knight of the Laughing Tree]], to be an enemy of his, when this mystery knight shows up at the Tourney at Harrenhal. The mystery knight disappears, however, and search parties can't manage to turn the knight up again.
* Ser [[Harlan Grandison]] dies in his sleep.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Targaryen Kings: Aerys II}}
