History

During Aegon's Conquest, Lords Buckler, Errol, and Fell opposed Orys Baratheon during his march from the Aegonfort toward Storm's End, but the storm lords were forced to retreat when Rhaenys Targaryen had Meraxes set afire parts of what is now the southern kingswood.[2]

Ser Barristan Selmy once defeated the Bastard of Bronzegate, Cedrik Storm.
