Stokeworth

Castle Stokeworth, or simply Stokeworth, is a castle in the Crownlands, and the seat of House Stokeworth, a vassal house sworn directly to the Iron Throne. It is located northeast of King's Landing, on the road between Rosby and Duskendale.

History
Stokeworth was built during the Andal Invasion.

During Aegon's Conquest, Stokeworth was one of the earliest castles to yield to the Targaryens.

Lord Stokeworth fled back to his castle after the death of King Maegor I Targaryen in the Red Keep. King Jaehaerys I Targaryen began his first progress in 51 AC with visits to Stokeworth, Rosby, and Duskendale.

During the Dance of the Dragons, Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen ordered the execution of Lord Stokeworth for repeatedly changing his loyalty between herself and her rival, King Aegon II Targaryen. Prince Daemon Targaryensuggested marrying Lord Stokeworth's daughter to Ulf White, but Rhaenyra decided to award the inheritance to Lord Stokeworth's son. When Rhaenyra fled the capital after the Storming of the Dragonpit, she was allowed to stay at Stokeworth for one night by the castle's castellan. Lord Borros Baratheon forced Stokeworth to submit after Aegon II regained the Iron Throne. Stokeworth levies joined Borros's host, but they abandoned him during the Battle of the Kingsroad. Stokeworth raised the banner of Aegon III Targaryen after the death of Aegon II.
