===Dance of the Dragons=== In the Westerosi civil war called the [[Dance of the Dragons]] ({{Date|129|131}}), Prince [[Daemon Targaryen]] and Lord [[Corlys Velaryon]] supported the [[blacks]] of [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]]. Early in the fighting, the [[House Velaryon|Velaryon]] fleet blockaded the [[Gullet]] and [[Blackwater Bay]]. Ser [[Otto Hightower]], [[Hand of the King]] to [[Aegon II Targaryen]] and a leader of the [[greens]], reached across the [[narrow sea]] to the Triarchy, which he knew to be an enemy of Daemon. Otto hoped to persuade them to move against Corlys the Sea Snake and break his blockade. The [[High Council of the Triarchy]] eventually met in [[Tyrosh]] and chose to accept Otto's offer of alliance.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}} A combined fleet of ninety [[Myr]]ish, [[Lys]]ene and Tyroshi warships under the banners of the Three Daughters, commanded by the Triarchy's admiral [[Sharako Lohar]] of [[Lys]], swept from the [[Stepstones]], bending their oars for the Gullet. En route they intercepted the ''[[Gay Abandon]]'', which was carrying two of [[Rhaenyra Targaryen]]'s sons, Princes [[Aegon III Targaryen|Aegon]] and [[Viserys II Targaryen|Viserys]]. Aegon escaped atop [[Stormcloud]], but Viserys was taken as a captive to Sharako.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}} Once the news of the fleet's presence in the Gullet reached [[Dragonstone]], Prince [[Jacaerys Velaryon]] swept down on [[Vermax]] and was soon joined by four other [[dragon]]s. In the resulting [[Battle of the Gullet]], in early {{Date|130}}, the prince met his demise. The fleet of the Three Daughters avoided Dragonstone and sacked [[Spicetown]] and [[High Tide]] on the Velaryon isle of [[Driftmark]], but took such heavy losses that it played no further part in the war. Only twenty-eight of Sharako's ships, most of them Lysene, returned home. The widows of the fallen Myrmen and Tyroshi accused Sharako of having held back his own Lysene ships.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}}
