Lord Jon Connington, who had not died of drink but instead allowed that story to be spread so he could help educate Young Griff in secret, is still haunted by the Battle of the Bells and its outcome. When they arrive at Stoney Sept, Harwin tells Arya Stark about the victory of her father, Lord Eddard Stark, in the Battle of the Bells.
Having survived Stoney Sept, Robert Baratheon eventually slew Rhaegar in the Battle of the Trident and was crowned after Aerys's death in the Sack of King's Landing. Aerys instead trusted in Lords Qarlton Chelsted and Rossart. Prince Rhaegar Targaryen returned from the tower of joy and advised his father to seek assistance from Lord Tywin Lannister.
The king sent Ser Jonothor Darry and Ser Barristan Selmy to Stoney Sept to rally what they could of the loyalist forces. He seized the lands of Lord Jon Connington for his failure to deal with rebels, and Jon, who for years insisted he was not responsible for the defeat, is said to have drank himself to death in exile. The Battle of the Bells forced King Aerys II Targaryen to take Robert's Rebellion seriously. Robert later maintained that Eddard won the battle for him. Jon realized the battle was lost and retreated. Robert and Jon did not meet on the battlefield according to Harwin, while Jon recalled that he was nearly slain by Robert on the steps of the town's sept. Įmerging from the Peach when the bells began ringing, Robert slew six men, including Prince Rhaegar Targaryen's friend and former squire, Ser Myles Mooton. Jon wounded Hoster and killed Lord Jon Arryn's gallant cousin and heir, Ser Denys Arryn, with an axe.
The rebels stormed Stoney Sept's walls and attacked Jon Connington's army, who responded by fighting back fiercely in streets, in alleys, and on rooftops. The town's septons rang bronze and silver bells to warn the smallfolk to remain indoors.
The royalists had not found Robert when the forces of Lords Eddard Stark and Hoster Tully reached Stoney Sept. His last hiding place was the Peach, where Robert is said to have fathered Bella. Jon offered pardons and rewards and kept hostages in crow cages, but Robert remained hidden in various places by townspeople. When the glory-seeking Hand of the King, Lord Jon Connington, occupied Stoney Sept with a mighty force, he ordered his soldiers to begin searching the town, even its sewers, for Robert. Robert's wounds were tended to by friends in Stoney Sept. After being defeated by Lord Randyll Tarly in the Battle of Ashford, near the border between the stormlands and the Reach, Lord Robert Baratheon turned north to rejoin his friend, Lord Eddard Stark.
