King Torrhen Did Send Brandon Snow Across The Trident. But He Crossed With Three Maesters By His Side,

King Torrhen did send Brandon Snow across the Trident. But he crossed with three maesters by his side, not to kill but to treat. All through the night messages went back and forth. The next morning, Torrhen Stark himself crossed the Trident. There upon the south bank of the Trident, he knelt, laid the ancient crown of the Kings of Winter at Aegon’s feet, and swore to be his man. He rose as Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North, a king no more. From that day to this day, Torrhen Stark is remembered as the King Who Knelt…but no Northman left his burned bones beside the Trident, and the swords Aegon collected from Lord Stark and his vassals were not twisted or melted or bent.

TARGARYEN NOVEMBER 2021 ↳ Day 9: Dragons and their riders

In 93 AC, Prince Baelon’s sixteen-year-old son, Viserys, entered the Dragonpit and claimed Balerion. The old dragon had stopped growing at last, but he was sluggish and heavy and hard to rouse, and he struggled when Viserys urged him up into the air. The young prince flew thrice around the city before landing again. He had intended to fly to Dragonstone, he told his father afterward, but he did not think the Black Dread had the strength for it. Less than a year later, Balerion was gone. “The last living creature in all the world who saw Valyria in its glory,” wrote Septon Barth.

Aegon V had married for love, taking to wife the Lady Betha Blackwood, the spirited (some say wilful) daughter of the Lord of Raventree Hall.

The Red Kings » Royce II Bolton

During one of the wars between Houses Bolton and Stark, King Royce succeeded in taking and burning Winterfell. His namesake King Royce IV Bolton did the same three hundred years later.

“Rickon,” Bran said softly. “Father’s not here.”

“Yes he is. I saw him.” Tears glistened on Rickon’s face. “I saw him last night.”

“In your dream…?”

Rickon nodded. “You leave him. You leave him be. He’s coming home now, like he promised. He’s coming home.”
