Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon can sometimes feel uninviting to new viewers. Both shows, set in George R.R. Martin’s fictional land of Westeros, are dense with details, characters, politics, and histories. With so much going on and so many things for fans to keep up with, it can be hard to keep the full timeline of events straight. The timeline of Westeros is not only limited to the timeline of the two shows–which themselves are set almost 200 years apart–but has a full history that stretches back thousands of years.Even within the shows themselves, the changing timelines and ages of characters can be tricky to keep up with. Beyond the boundaries of the shows, the history of Westeros is what shaped the playing field of the story. It determines who has and hasn’t got power, what relationship the great Houses have to each other, and even explains why some Houses still follow the Old Gods. The first thing to know about the Game of Thrones timeline is how years are referenced. In the real world, years are referred to as relative to the Common Era, either before or after (BCE or CE). Westeros uses a similar system, except the pivot point is around Aegon Targaryen’s conquest and uniting of six of the seven Kingdoms of Westeros. Hence, years are measured in BC before the conquest and AC after.The rebellion lasted about a year, stretching throughout 281 AC. Key events included the double marriage of Ned Stark and Jon Arryn to Catelyn and Lysa Tully and the siege of Storm’s End, where Robert’s younger brother, Stannis, held out against the Tyrells until being saved with food shipments from the smuggler Davos, later Ser Davos Seaworth, the Onion Knight. The decisive battle of the conflict was the Battle of the Trident, where Robert Baratheon killed Rhaegar Targaryen with his warhammer. The war concludes with the sacking of King’s Landing, where Jaime Lannister killed the Mad King and Gregor Clegane raped and murdered Princess Elia Martell and her two children. After the conflict, Ned finds his sister dying at the Tower of Joy, where she hands him a newborn baby that he takes and claims as his bastard. At the same time, Robert is crowned king and marries Cersei Lannister.
