Year 56 After the Conquest (56 AC) is a year in the Westerosi calendar, the 56th after Aegon's crowning in Oldtown that maesters and educated people use as a reference to date the years.
It was a winter year, marked by the return of Balerion and Aerea Targaryen to King's Landing. The dragon had half-healed scars and a jagged rent, and the young princess was agonizing, burning with fever, and infected by fiendish parasites that would cause her death. They had been disappeared for more than a year, and their whereabouts during that time would remain a mystery.[1]
