==History== [[File:Right of ConquestSidharth Chaturvedi.png|thumb|[[Robert I Baratheon|Robert Baratheon]] stands over [[Rhaegar Targaryen]]'s body, by Sidharth Chaturvedi Β© Fantasy Flight Games]] During [[Robert's Rebellion]] against the ruling [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] dynasty, Lord [[Robert I Baratheon|Robert Baratheon]]'s rebel host was met at a ford crossing the [[Trident]] by a loyalist army commanded by Prince [[Rhaegar Targaryen]], resulting in the [[Battle of the Trident]]. When they came together at the ford they fought a personal battle, which Rhaegar lost when Robert drove his warhammer into the prince's chest, killing him. Adorning Rhaegar's breastplate was a three-headed [[dragon]], the symbol of House Targaryen, done in [[rubies]]. The hammer blow knocked the rubies from Rhaegar's chest, spilling them into the water and giving the ford its name.{{Ref|aGoT|4}}
