300 AC

Year 300 After the Conquest (300 AC) is a year in the Westerosi calendar, the 300th after Aegon I Targaryen's crowning in Oldtown which maesters and educated people use as a reference to date the years.

300 AC starts with the wedding and death of King Joffrey I Baratheon, which takes place on the first day of the year. His brother Tommen is crowned shortly thereafter and is married to the twice-widowed Margaery Tyrell, preserving the alliance between houses Lannister and Tyrell which ensures the stability of the realm. However, the murders of Tywin and Kevan Lannister, the rise of the Faith Militant, and the invasion of Aegon Targaryen leave Westeros in turmoil.

The final chapters of A Storm of Swords, most chapters of A Feast For Crows and all chapters of A Dance with Dragons take place in 300 AC.
