When her brother Brandon learned that she had been kidnapped by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen , he went to King's Landing to demand her return. He was arrested for threatening the life of Prince Rhaegar, and later executed along with his father, Lord Rickard Stark , and their traveling companions on the orders of King Aerys II Targaryen . Next, King Aerys commanded Lord Jon Arryn to send him the heads of his two former wards, Robert Baratheon , Lyanna's betrothed, and Eddard Stark , Brandon's younger brother, and, following the death of his elder brother and father, now the Lord of Winterfell . Jon Arryn refused, and raised his banners instead, starting the rebellion. This led to a war which lasted close to a year, and which divided the Seven Kingdoms . Battles were fought in the Vale , the stormlands , the riverlands , and the Reach , and alliances were struck, resulting in the marriage between Eddard Stark and Catelyn Tully , and Jon Arryn and Lysa Tully . The result of the rebellion was the end of the Targaryen dynasty , which had lasted close to three hundred years, and the beginning of the Baratheon dynasty . The war included several major battles, including the Battle of the Bells , the Battle of the Trident , and the Sack of King's Landing . Read more... . More featured articles... Featured quotes “Who knows more of gods than I? Horse gods and fire gods , gods made of gold with gemstone eyes, gods carved of cedar wood, gods chiseled into mountains, gods of empty air... I know them all. I have seen their peoples garland them with flowers, and shed the blood of goats and bulls and children in their names. And I have heard the prayers, in half a hundred tongues. Cure my withered leg, make the maiden love me, grant me a healthy son. Save me, succor me, make me wealthy... protect me! Protect me from mine enemies, protect me from the darkness, protect me from the crabs inside my belly, from the horselords , from the slavers, from the sellswords at my door. Protect me from the Silence .” He laughed. “Godless? Why, Aeron , I am the godliest man ever to raise sail! You serve one god , Damphair, but I have served ten thousand. From Ib to Asshai , when men see my sails, they pray.” — Euron “Crow’s Eye” Greyjoy [1] “You swore a vow to guard the king, not to judge him.” — Ser Gerold Hightower , to Jaime Lannister [2] “ My people hold that there is no shame to be found in the pillow house . In the Summer Isles , those who are skilled at giving pleasure are greatly esteemed. Many highborn youths and maidens serve for a few years after their flowerings , to honor the gods .” — Chataya [3] More quotes... Did you know... ... that House Manderly originates from the Reach ?
