| '''Resolution of the [[Kingswood Brotherhood]]''': The band of outlaws called the Kingswood Brotherhood is defeated by a royal force commanded by Ser [[Arthur Dayne]]. A young squire, [[Jaime Lannister]], distinguishes himself and is [[knight]]ed by Arthur, the [[Sword of the Morning]]. Jaime discards his claim as Lord [[Tywin Lannister]]'s heir by being named by King [[Aerys II Targaryen]] to the [[Kingsguard]]. Tywin resigns as [[Hand of the King]] in angry protest and returns to [[Casterly Rock]].{{Ref|ASOS|11}}{{Ref|ASOS|31}}{{Ref|ASOS|67}}<hr>
'''The [[Year of the False Spring]]''': Lord [[Walter Whent]] holds a great [[tourney at Harrenhal]]. Prince Rhaegar distinguishes himself in the lists, but he names [[Lyanna Stark]] of [[Winterfell]], who is betrothed to Lord [[Robert I Baratheon|Robert Baratheon]], as the [[queen of love and beauty]] rather than his own wife, [[Elia Martell|Elia]]. [[Eddard Stark]] meets and befriends [[Howland Reed]] of [[Greywater Watch]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Fall of the Dragons: The Year of the False Spring}}

| '''[[Robert's Rebellion]]''': Rhaegar Targaryen abducts Lyanna Stark. Lyanna's brother, [[Brandon Stark|Brandon]], and father, Lord [[Rickard Stark]], demand that Aerys discipline his son, but instead the Mad King kills them both. Aerys demands the heads of Lords [[Robert I Baratheon|Robert Baratheon]] and [[Eddard Stark]] from their guardian, [[Jon Arryn]].  Instead, Houses [[House Arryn|Arryn]], [[House Stark|Stark]], and [[House Baratheon|Baratheon]] raise their banners in open rebellion, signifying the start of the war, which is also known as the '''War of the Usurper''', which will last close to a year. Lord [[Hoster Tully]] agrees to join the rebellion as well. The [[House Tyrell|Tyrells]] remain loyal to the king and besiege Robert's castle of [[siege of Storm's End|Storm's End]], held by his brother [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]]. The new [[Hand of the King]], Lord [[Jon Connington]], is defeated in the [[Battle of the Bells]] and is sent into exile in the [[Free Cities]]. The rebel army defeats the royalists at the [[Battle of the Trident]], where Prince Rhaegar is killed. The [[House Lannister|Lannisters]] apparently march to the aid of King Aerys, but instead turn against him with the [[Sack of King's Landing]]. Aerys is killed by Ser [[Jaime Lannister]], one of his [[Kingsguard]], to prevent the [[wildfire plot]]. Princess [[Elia Martell]] and her children, Princess [[Rhaenys Targaryen (daughter of Rhaegar)|Rhaenys]] and Prince [[Aegon Targaryen (son of Rhaegar)|Aegon]], are murdered by Lannister bannermen, Ser [[Gregor Clegane]] and Ser [[Amory Lorch]]. Robert's approval of their deaths leads to a rift with Eddard. Following [[combat at the tower of joy]] with three Kingsguard, Lord Stark find Lyanna dying. Robert, who can trace his descent back to King [[Aegon V Targaryen]], is crowned [[Lord of the Seven Kingdoms]], and he weds Tywin's daughter, [[Cersei Lannister]]. With the war at an end, Eddard returns home to [[Winterfell]] with his bastard son, [[Jon Snow]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Fall of the Dragons: The Year of the False Spring}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Fall of the Dragons: Robert's Rebellion}}
