299 AC

Year 299 After the Conquest (299AC) is a year in the Westerosi calendar, the 299th after Aegon's crowning in Oldtown that maesters and educated people use as a reference to date the years.

299AC was marked by the War of the Five Kings, and saw all the major battles of the conflict. During the year, three of the claimants died: Renly was killed in his own camp through sorcery, Balon fell to his death from a bridge, and Robb was murdered in the Red Wedding. Stannis' options suffered a severe blowback after being defeated at the Battle of the Blackwater, leaving the Lannister-Tyrell alliance as the victors of the war. This alliance was cemented by the bethrotal of Joffrey and Margaery, that was scheduled for the fist day of year 300AC. Meanwhile, at Essos, Daenerys Targaryen gave birth to three dragon hatchlings.

The final chapters A Game of Thrones, all chapters from A Clash of Kings and most of A Storm of Swords take place during 299AC.
