House Targaryen
House Targaryen

Summerhall[1] is a ruined castle in the Stormlands, near the borders of both the Reach and Dorne. It was formerly the summer residence of House Targaryen and the third and newest of the holdings of that house, after Dragonstone and the Red Keep of King's Landing.

Summerhall was destroyed in a fire in 258 AC. The fire killed King Aegon V, his son Prince Duncan, and his lifelong friend Ser Duncan the Tall. It is rumored to have been caused by an attempt to hatch dragon eggs.

History

Game of Thrones: Season 1

Robert Baratheon recounts that he killed his first man during the Battle of Summerhall, a soldier of House Tarly, during Robert's Rebellion.[1]

In the books

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Summerhall has special significance for several members of House Targaryen. King Daeron II built it as a place of peace and relaxation away from court. His fourth son, Prince Maekar, took full residence there as the Prince of Summerhall. Along with King Aegon V, and his son Prince Duncan the Small, many members of the Targaryen household died in the fire. Their deaths resulted in King Jaehaerys II inheriting the Iron Throne. However, the fire was said to have traumatized the new king, and he died young only two years later, leaving his son Aerys as king. Summerhall was also the place where a dwarf woods witch known as the Ghost of High Heart prophesied that "a promised prince" would be born of the line of Aerys II and Rhaella Targaryen.

Aerys II's own son, Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, was fascinated by the ruins of Summerhall. He was born there on the day that the fire took place; according to Barristan Selmy, he used to go there occasionally, with only his harp for company, and even the knights of the Kingsguard did not attend him there. He liked to sleep in the ruined hall, beneath the moon and stars, and whenever he came back he would bring a song.
