The Sack of Torrhen's Square takes place during the War of the Five Kings.
Ser Rodrik Cassel leads a force from Winterfell to defend the threatened northern keep of Torrhen's Square. The besieging ironborn led by Dagmer Cleftjaw are forced to retreat to the Stony Shore following the Battle of Torrhen's Square.[1][2]
At some point after Rodrik and Leobald Tallhart, the castellan of Torrhen's Square, depart to retake Winterfell, Dagmer returns and his ironmen take the sparsely defended keep.[3] Dagmer takes captive Berena Hornwood and her children, Brandon and Beren, as well as her niece, Eddara Tallhart, the heir of Torrhen's Square.[4]
