In this summer storm, only the Targaryen family was hit hard?
Only their sea fleet suffered losses?
This is not the case.
There are other unlucky ones out there.
Although they were not directly "hit", their original plans were disrupted by the passing hurricane.
The king's younger brother Stannis·Baila Theon successfully defended their family's Storm's End under extremely difficult conditions.
Because of his merits and because of Baila's surname Theon, he was able to take a top position in Small Council and became Master of Ships of the new dynasty.
After the battle between the Southern Expedition Army and the Southern Border Army, the second son of the Lu family, Stannis, was ordered to form a new fleet to conquer the Blackwater Bay island group controlled by the remnants of the previous royal family.
Due to the existence of Shipbreaker Bay, Stormlands's overall water strength is not to mention strong, it is almost at the bottom level among Seven Kingdoms, and it is a level that can only compete with the North.
While Stonehelm of Dornish Marches cannot move lightly, there are only two islands in the outer sea of Stormlands with limited naval power.
Estermont is located on the east side of Cape Wrath. This island is narrow, small and mountainous.
The ruler of the island, House Estermont of Greenstone, belongs to the maternal clan, or maternal uncle clan, of Robert, Stannis, and Renly.
Mrs. Kasana, the mother of the three Lu brothers, has the surname "Estermont".
The Stormlands nobleman, who has "Dark Green Turtle" as his family crest, showed the style of his natal family, and they gave Stannis all the support they could.
Tarth, which is closer to the direction of Dragonstone, has already been reminded by Starpike.
In the eyes of the Evenfall Hall Earl, Hei Earl is a magical person, so he chose to listen to the other party's well-intentioned tips and still kept a low profile and never participated in it.
Facing the call of the new Master of Ships, Lord Selwyn's reply was that he had already sent Tarth's armed fleet to the opposite side of the Narrow Sea.
Fortunately, Stannis was not allowed to gather a large number of ships.
Most of Dragonstone's fleet was wiped out due to the storm, but Stannis's new fleet was not so serious.
When he was sent to the Sharp Point fortress in the Marseille Gorge by his brother who sat on the throne, the devastating storm only "brushed" them lightly.
Stannis lost many ships and men, and was unable to complete the task assigned to him by Robert I to seize the last bloodline of House Targaryen.
When he boarded Dragonstone, which no longer needed to "attack", the place was already deserted.
The evil dragon in Robert's mouth is embarking on an eastward journey with his biological sister, his loyal knight, his Velaryon minister and Royal Fleet commander, a well-preserved Dragonstone Fleet, and his "gynecological master" bachelor.
Stannis failed, and he allowed the eight-year-old Viserys·Targaryen III to escape the pursuit of Iron Throne.
Among King's Landing Red Keep, King Robert, whose newlywed life is not very happy, let alone sexually happy, said that she was very angry and the consequences would be serious.
The young king was furious and was so angry that he directly deprived his second brother of the right to inherit Storm's End.
Stannis has never liked others, and Robert doesn't like his younger brother either. Eddard or Renly will be more able to win his brotherly love and affection.
Robert I, driven by a certain emotion, made the decision to divide the brothers among themselves -
Renly·Baila Theon, a young black-haired boy who was easily loved by the monks, obtained the inheritance rights of the family castle and became the Duke of Storm's End and the lord of Stormlands.
Dragonstone of the Targaryen family was transferred to his eldest brother Stannis, who had both merits and demerits.
His new title sounds very good - Duke Dragonstone, but in fact, he can only manage a small area near Blackwater Bay.
Before Aegon's Conquest, Dragonstone was originally the residence of House Targaryen, who was exiled from Valyrian Freehold.
Even after Aegon I conquered Westeros, according to tradition, this place was regarded as the canonized land for the king's heir.
For example, the title "Prince Dragonstone" of Rhaegar·Targaryen who was hammered by the Antler King comes from this.
After many nobles heard the news, their first reaction was not that there was some trouble between the two Baratheon brothers Robert and Stannis, or that the latter was punished by the former. More people thought:
Before the king had any heirs, this was actually a very wise decision.
Not to mention the young master's suspicion, that's still too far away—brothers eventually become younger brothers, which is a relatively common situation in Westeros.
I don't know what luck or misfortune there is. Many children who inherit the title of Earl at just a few years old often die in mysterious circumstances.
An accident, a fall into the water, a high fever, it seems that the change of lord status can be easily completed, and it is easier for the adult uncles to "really" inherit the family castle and land.
Maybe Jon·Arryn thought so too, so they didn't stop Robert's imperial order.
I don't know what other people in the alliance thought about it, but Starpike Earl complained bitterly after learning about it.
Robert blocked Dragonstone to Stannis, there is no problem.
Can Storm's End and Stormlands be left to Renly?
The problem here is huge.
Titus I don't understand why Westeros people like to operate like this - is it due to inertia?
This is true for Aegon I, and so is Robert I.
You Crowned Stag have moved the golden crown from your neck to your head, why can't you just do it in one step and merge Stormlands into Crownlands?
I can't understand the Titus operated by the Draco and Vero people, and I feel quite speechless about it.
He can change some parts of history, but he cannot change other parts——
Conquest Calendar 284.
Westeros's "solar term" has officially entered the warm summer.
Viserys, the descendant of Targaryen and the son of Mad King, fled to Essos. It seemed that he had become a bereaved dragon, but the power he held in his hands and the aura of House Targaryen should not be underestimated.
Two peers, Titus·Peake and Jaime·Lannister, both passed their eighteenth Name Day this year.
Sitting on the Earl chair of East Study, Master Titus was lazily basking in the sun and sighed for a while Targaryen and Baila Theon After the "unwise behavior" of the two founders of the dynasty, he thought about the other two peers of the same age - originally there were three, but Gregor·Clegane were killed by him.
The other two.
One is Petyr·Baelish who will change his personal coat of arms from "Titan of Braavos head" to "bionic bird" at some unknown time.
This "Littlefinger" experienced the baptism of "wild wolves" from the north in Riverrun.
From then on, he would no longer be the stupid boy who played with Caitlin and Lysa in the mud, played house, ate mud cakes in their laughter, and was sick for a week;
He is no longer an impulsive teenager who claims to "take the virginity of the Tully sisters";
Not to mention the passionate seed who never surrenders, fights after repeated defeats, and stubbornly gets up----
He will become a believer in "chaos".
The history of the Baelish family is only a few decades, and its founder is the great-grandfather of Petyr·Baelish.
He is a mercenary swordsman from Braavos. He once served for House Corbray, the master of "Lady Forlorn" and Heart's Home. He started his career as a martial artist.
Their family's territory is the smallest among the many knight territories in Vale. It only owns some barren rocky land in the remote areas of the Fingers.
On the mini peninsula "ruled" by the Baelish family, there is no decent castle at all, only an unknown tower. And the people belonging to this "immigrant" knight family only have a small village with only a dozen families.
There is no output at all.
If it weren't for the knight Petyr in "War of the Ninepenny Kings" who once saved the life of Hoster Tully, who was not very good at fighting, he would never have had the chance to become the adopted son of Riverrun.
It is also impossible to become childhood playmates with the sisters from the Zunyu family.
It's a pity that the curse of childhood sweetheart is the same no matter where it is placed. Duke Hoster has been extremely kind to him, and it is impossible for him to marry his daughter to Baelish territory where there is not even a piece of sheep excrement.
Of course, Braavos's descendants did not gain nothing from his adoptive father's Riverrun.
He was once favored by the Duchess of the Eyrie, who should now be Mrs. Hand of the King, Lysa Tully. The two of them may have had a child, but that fetus was terminated by a cup of moon tea.
In the future, Titus will continue to pay attention to the emergence of this name----
The remaining peer is, of course, the other golden twin, sister Li Sheng of Jaime, the famous beauty who moved back to Casterly Rock from Red Keep after her father left her job - Cersei·Lannister.
What Titus did also changed the fate of this "Light of Westerlands".
When Earl was tricked by the hacker, Master Tywin did not leave King's Landing immediately;
When the south was pacified and the Reach surrendered, Lord Tywin was still very stable and waiting for the progress of the situation;
As soon as the king's wedding was arranged, Mr. Tywin couldn't hold it in any longer and ordered his subordinates to pack their luggage and prepare for the withdrawal of the army outside the city;
When Targaryen escaped to the east and "Duke Dragonstone" was born, Lord Tywin immediately chose to return to Westerlands.
I wanted to go home before - but I was unwilling to do so. I wanted to stay and see if there were any loopholes to exploit for the Golden Lion. I didn't catch anything this time.
He didn't even get a bite of the dangerous turnaround grass, so he had to go home.
With nothing gained this time, the Westerlands nobles among tens of thousands of people witnessed the failure of Tywin.
Duke Casterly Rock, who has always ruled with high pressure internally, has only failed once, and the nobles of Westerlands may not be ready to show their dissatisfaction openly. Then, it will be difficult to say when Lannister fails again.
In the parallel world, the year 284 was originally the time when Robert·Baila Theon married Cersei·Lannister.
In order to celebrate the union of the two, King's Landing also held a small-scale competition. The championship was won by Jaime·Lannister. He dedicated the crown of love and beauty to his sister, who is also his queen.
This result has completely changed now. Jaime won one less championship, and Cersei has to start looking for a new marriage partner.
The various lords who followed the army's retreat westward also had speculations about Warden of the West's original purpose of staying in the royal capital, and they also had hopes that Westerlands's woman would become the companion of the king.
Seeing that there was no room around the king, they continued to guess:
If "Westerlands's Light" fails to become a queen, whose family will it end up with?
No one knew that the first person who appeared in Tywin·Lannister's mind would be him----
Baelish family's nameless tower:
