Author's Note: This might be important for later chapters... Let's say that there are more babies in this Westeros for once.
Taken from Alessander Crofter's "A History of Westeros" Published in 421 A.L by the White Harbor Publishing House
To understand the circumstances of the last years of the reign of Aerys the Mad, it becomes necessary to take a look at the status of the Great Houses and at the marriages celebrated around that period.
Thus, Houses Arryn and Tully came to ally with the betrothal of Lord Jon's eldest son Ronnel[1], and lady Catelyn Tully. House Baratheon would ally with House Stark with the betrothal of Robert Baratheon and Lyanna Stark. House Targaryen did participate this time, with the betrothal between Viserys, Prince of Duskendale[2], and the lady Ellyn Baratheon[3]. Further south, House Martell would ally itself with the second house of the Reach, as Princess Elia Martell would thus marry Baelor Hightower, while Lady Alla Tyrell [4] would be betrothed to Jaime Lannister, heir to the Westerlands. As a web of alliances was weaved, the situation would only be worsened by King Aerys' decision to once more seek a foreign bride for Daeron, Prince of Summerhall[5]. With the King increasingly paranoid about his own subjects after the attempted kidnapping and later razing of Duskendale, while the Free Cities refused to provide more brides for Westerosi after the fate of the lady Serala of Duskendale, he chose to turn to the Rhomans in this.
[1] Jon Arryn's First Wife survived, they currently have two children, Rowena (who in canon was stillborn) and Ronnel.
[2] Duskendale, or rather its remains, were to become the seat of the Third Son of the King. most of the city was destroyed by order of the King after the failed attempt on the his life by Lord Darklyn.
[3] Lady Cassana Baratheon (nee. Estermont) had twins for her last pregnancy, little Renly and the lady Ellyn. She and Lord Steffon Baratheon died in circumstances fairly similar to canon, however the girl they did find, survived and married Rhaegar as was planned.
[4] a younger sister for Mace Tyrell, and one of the earliest butterflies in Westeros.
[5] Daeron Targaryen, conceived and born one year earlier than in canon, actually survived his first year and is still alive at that point.
