Recent Events

A Clash of Kings

After Renly's assassination, he sent out ravens with a plea for help in breaking the siege of Storm's End, offering to bend the knee to whichever would send him aid.[3] He demanded to see the corpse so that he could make sure of Renly's death before turning the castle over to Stannis Baratheon. Storm's End was besieged by the army of Stannis, unable to receive help from anyone. At a parley beneath the walls, Stannis demanded he turn over the castle and Edric Storm, but Ser Cortnay refused, instead tossing his glove at Stannis and challenging him to a single combat duel. Stannis refused him, and Ser Cortnay told him to elect a champion, insulting those who had abandoned Renly to join Stannis. Rather than risk losing the duel, Stannis warned him that he would take the castle only by storm. In order to avoid the bloodshed, Stannis had him assassinated using one of Melisandre's shadows.[4][5]
