Editing Leo Costayne (section)

==History==
In {{Date|133}}, when Lord [[Alyn Velaryon]] was dispatched to the [[westerlands]] to battle Lord [[Dalton Greyjoy]], twenty [[House Hightower|Hightower]] war galleys commanded by Ser Leo joined the [[Velaryon fleet]]. However, Dalton was slain before the fleet arrived and the his ships returned to the [[Iron Islands]]. With the [[Lannister fleet]] having been destroyed during the [[Dance of the Dragons]], [[House Lannister]] was reluctant to see the Velaryon fleet depart in fear of the [[ironborn]] returning. Until the Lannisters and [[House Farman|Farmans]] could rebuild their ships, Alyn agreed to allow a third of his own fleet remain in the westerlands, under the command of Leo.{{Ref|FAB|Under the Regents - The Voyage of Alyn Oakenfist}}

While Alyn had refused to attack the Iron Islands, Leo proved more amenable to Lady [[Johanna Westerling]], the Dowager Lady of [[Casterly Rock]] and [[regent]] for her young son, Lord [[Loreon Lannister]]. Swayed perhaps by Johanna's promise to marry him if he conquered the Iron Islands for her son, Leo invaded the isles with his fleet in {{Date|134}}. In the middle of the ironmen's [[struggle for power]], Leo and his army took them unawares and put many to the sword, landing thousands of Lannister soldiers on [[Pyke (island)|Pyke]], [[Great Wyk]], and [[Harlaw]].{{Ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}}

Ultimately, Leo was killed by [[Arthur Goodbrother]] in the hills of Great Wyk. Leo's host was largely destroyed and three quarters of his fleet were seized or sunk, but a portion of his fleet returned to [[Lannisport]] with highborn captives aboard. Amongst the notable hostages was [[Rodrik Greyjoy (son of Dalton)|Rodrik Greyjoy]], a [[salt son]] of Lord Dalton that Lady Lannister would [[Eunuch|geld]] and make her son's [[fool]].{{Ref|FAB|The Lysene Spring and the End of Regency}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Iron Islands: The Red Kraken}}
