History

After Aegon landed, King Argilac refused to submit to the invader and was killed during the war by Orys Baratheon. In order to reward his rumored bastard half-brother Orys, Aegon gave him Argilac's lands and the hand of the dead king's daughter. Orys kept the banner, honors and words of the Storm Kings.[1]

Given the timing, Argilac was probably the Storm King who sided with Tyrosh, Lys, Myr, and Aegon when that alliance broke Volantene hegemony at the end of the "Bleeding Years."[2]
