The War for the Stepstones is one of the many battles fought for control of the Stepstones. This particular war was started by a House Targaryen Prince that decided to forge his own kingdom.

Events

After his brother King Viserys refused to name him heir, Prince Daemon decided to establish his own Kingdom and crown himself.

Daemon joined forces with Lord Corlys the Sea Snake of House Velaryon in trying to wrestle control of the Stepstones from the Kingdom of the Three Daughters.

In 106 AC, Westerosi forces led Prince Daemon invaded the StepstonesDaemon hoping to make himself a kingdom. Despite inferior numbers, they inflicted a string of defeats on the Triarchy for two years before Daemon slew Craghas Drahar in single combat. By 109, Daemon's armies controlled all but two of the Stepstones, and the Sea Snake's fleets had naval supremacy. Lord Corlys crowned Daemon the King of the Stepstones and the Narrow Sea.

In 110 AC, however, the Triarchy dispatched a counterattack led by Racallio Ryndoon, supported by newly acquired Dornish allies. Fighting still continued in 111, when "King" Daemon withdrew to court at King's Landing for several months, and even still raged beyond 115 AC, when Daemon returned to the Vale after the death of his first wife. Five other men followed him as King of the Narrow Sea before the Triarchy-Dornish alliance ended his sellsword kingdom.[1]
