Lord Staunton sent a raven to his Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen on Dragonstone, requesting her aid. Several days passed in which the Green army burned the fields and villages surrounding Rook's Rest before Rhaenys Targaryen arrived on her dragon [Meleys. Unfortunately, both of them were killed in an ensuing battle with King Aegon II Targaryen and Aemond Targaryen on their dragons Sunfyre and Vhagar.
