In Essos, Robert Baratheon had sacked and taken the free city of Lys with his gang of sellswords known as the Brave Adventurers. With the help of neighbouring city states like Braavos and Pentoshi, they raped and pillaged the city. They killed it's archon, a Valyrian-looking man, and sacked the gold from within the city, as well as taking woman from the cities as whores for the men. Robert Baratheon had taken none from the city, for he swore faithfulness to his wife, Lyanna Stark. It was said at her whims, that Robert dropped everything, including his claim to Storm's End to become a mercenary Lord. Though this new development scared and frightened the Targaryen's, Rhaegar could do naught as the remains of the Valyrian Freehold crumbled under Robert's control.

Meanwhile, King Rhaegar of Westeros was fighting off contenders to the throne, his two brothers, Daeron and Maekor and their hoard of children. Maekor was extremely ambitious and was married to Lady Janna Tryell, while Daeron was cunning and married to Lady Cersei Lannister. One might expect that they'd fight one another, leaving Rhaegar and his own offspring alone while they did so, but they decided to ally against Rhaegar and Viserys, the seventh brother and Prince of Summehall. A loyalist Viserys was, through and through, even though he himself was married to Rohanna Dayne, and with her he had twins. Meanwhile, Aegon the Elder joined the King's Guard in a move most suspected was Rhaegar's way of limiting the factions and well, Jaehaerys, the fifth born son, had already forsaken his claim to the throne to go exploring Westeros with Lord Robert Baratheon and his wife.

From eldest to youngest, Rhaegar Targaryen was born on 259 AC and his sister-wife Alysanne, 261 AC. They were the eldest children of Aerys II and his own sister-wife Rhaella, and not until five years after Alysanne's birth would they get another child. This time, it was Daeron Targaryen 266 AC and a year after that, Maekor Targaryen, 267 AC. Three years after Daeron , Aegon the Elder and his twin sister, Daena, would be born in King's Landing, 270 AC. Jaehaerys Targayen, 273 AC, Viserys Targaryen 275C. Daenerys Targaryen, the youngest was born seven years later in King's Landing during one of the farce springs In 282 AC.

As for the rest of the houses, Lord Steffon Baratheon and his wife, Cassana Estermost had themselves a great deal of grandchildren. In both Stannis and in Robert's case, though Robert later abdicated his claim to Storm's End to become a Mercenary King in Essos, leaving Stannis as heir of Storm's End. Stannis married Daena Targaryen in 283, a short two years after Robert left, and between them they produced five children, Davos 284 AC, Orys 286 AC, Monfryd 287, Jocelyn 289, Raymont 290.

As for Stannis marrying Daena Targaryen, it was done to keep Stannis and his children completely on the King's side, not on any of the so-called pretenders side.

House Tully: After Lord Hoster died of cancer, Edmure Tully married Arianne Martell and so far, they have three children. Tristan ,(b 293), Sharra (b 294), Axell (b 295)

Lyanna Stark and Robert produced four children together, Jon 282, Maric 285, Baldric 286, Lyonel 286, They all live in a great, large mansion in Lys where the Magister once lived.. when he still lived that was, until they took it and make it there own. Robert actually has several properties throughout Essos, including in Braavos but choices to make his children live in the palace they rightfully took over. Lyanna is his rather permanent Regent as he takes his gangs off to war and conquest, leaving behind Lyanna to do all the busy work as he calls it. He'd rather be off battling demons than off fighting nobles for power.

As for House Stark, after Rickard died of a heart attack, Brandon Stark took over control of House Stark. He married Catelyn Stark and his brother, Eddard, joined Robert's expedition alongside Jaehaerys. Officially, Ned is Robert's hand and thus helps his sister run the Kingdom they have more smoothly. He and Cat have five children together, and his youngest brother, Benjen joined the Night's watch. Their children are as followed: Edric 281, Sansa 282, Cregan 284, Torrhen 285, Arya 287. Brandon also has one natural children with Barbary Rysell (a boy named Artos Snow b 281). Ned married Ashara Dayne and they have three children, Raya 283, Robb 283, Rickon 286. They also live in the big house in Lys amongst their cousins, as Ashara and Lyanna watch on.

House Arryn: Lord Paramount Jon Arryn choice not to marry, instead letting his young Heir to do so. Elbert choice to marry Lysa Tully and between them they produced about five children thus far. Robin 284, Alyssa 284, Ronald 286, Jeyne 287, Alester 288

House Martell: Prince Doran's wife is Mellario of Norvos. Doran's heir, Quentyn, is engaged to someone outside of Dorne. His younger brother, Tristane is going to marry a Yrnwood maid to make up for the damage done by Oberyn Martell to House Martell and House Yrnwood relations.

House Tryell: Lord Paramount Mace Tryell's wife is Alerie Hightower. His heir, Willas has married Lady Joanna Arryn and between them, they have produced three children. Robert 288, Daeryssa 289, Matthos 291. Janna Tryell, Mace's sister, produced six children with her husband Prince Maekor. Daemon 280, Aerion 281, Aerae 283, Shaena 284, Baelon 286, Jacaerys 287.. Willas Tryell married Leonette Fossoway and thus far they are childless. Loras Tryell is off squiring in the Riverlands for Ser Edmure Tully.

House Lannister: Lord Paramount Tywin Lannister's new wife is Helena Westerling, sister of Gawen Westerling, after his past wife, Johanna's death. Jaime Lannister is a King's Guard and refuses to leave the position, Lady Cersei is married to Prince Daeron Targareyn and between them, they have six children. Valerion, 283, Aelora, 284, Aemon 286, Rhaenyra 287, Matarys 288, Vaella 289. Tywin's new children with his new wife, Helena are about five thus far. Cerion 282, Damon 283, Joanna 285, Fiona 286, Jason 287. Tyrion was exiled many years ago from Westeros and the Rock, for reasons only Tywin could say, but presumably it had to do with making sure Cerion was the only and rightful heir of the Westerlands.

House Greyjoy: Lord Paramount Balon Greyjoy's wife is Alannys Harlaw. Their two sons, Rodrick and Maron perished in a fruitless raid upon a readied Lannisport. Tywin Lannister came to the Iron Isles in the aftermath of the battle with his own fleet and took great revenge upon the weakened Iron Fleet. He even got so far as taking back what was his and a hostage, Theon Greyjoy, out of it. As for Asha Greyjoy, she became the captain of the ship Black Wind in her teens and even married the young, strapping heir of Lordsport, Aleksander Boltley. Aleksander was Captain of the ship Sea Serpent and a member of the Iron Fleet. He and Asha had three children. Bard 290, Moira 291, Deidre 293, meanwhile Theon Greyjoy had married Eileen Lannister, daughter of Kevan Lannister. Between them, they so far have had three children, Quellon 291, Aragon 292, Robert 293. His father did not like the fact he married a foreigner though and has since alienated his son's children, thinking them just as weak-minded as their father... though Theon is a good, decent sea-commander having fought the pirates of the Stepstones many times, and can come across as rather experienced in that field. He's even been to the Summer Isles to do some raiding there too.

Alysanne and Rhaegar's children (main branch of the Targaryen family), Visenya 274, Aegon 276, Rhaenys 278. All were born on Dragonstone and had very limited contact with their cousins beyond Rhaegar becoming King. Aerys died naturally in his sleep at the age of 60 and Dowager-Queen Rhaella hangs out in Summerhall with her daughter, Daenerys and Viserys. Viserys is very close with Daenerys and is fiercely over-protective of his younger sister. Viserys is master of Laws to Rhaegar and his twin children, Aeran and Daerona were born recently in Summerhall in the long summer of 290.

Maekor is called the Roses Prince due to his marriage to Janna and is considered to be quite popular in the Reach by all means. Meanwhile, Daeron is called the Golden Prince due to his marriage to Cersei Lannister. Cersei Lannister does not have a very good reputation in court for she riles up the court and causes trouble for poor Queen Alysanne. Alysanne is considered by most to be a modest, diligent Queen that doesn't need Cersei's troublesome nature anywhere her. But as a good sisters, they must deal with one another regardless of how the other one feels about it.
