- "But no maester can tell why. Even in our oldest records, the island on which it stands is called Battle Isle. What battle was fought there? And when? "
- ―Qyburn
Battle Isle[1] is an island on the Honeywine, in the second largest city of Westeros, Oldtown. The isle occupies the Hightower, the seat of House Hightower.
History[]
It is unknown why the island is so named, however, at some point, the Hightower was built atop it. Even the maesters of the Citadel do not have any records of a battle on this isle.[2]
In the books[]
In The World of Ice & Fire, Battle Island sits in Oldtown in the area where the Honeywine widens and empties into Whispering Sound. It is unknown how the island earned its name, though some stories claim that dragons once roosted on it until they were killed by the founder of House Hightower.
