Battle
Ser Gregor Clegane and the Mountain's men burn Stone Hedge and the Bracken lands under orders from Lord Tywin Lannister.[2] The Mountain rapes a daughter of Lord Jonos Bracken and steals or burns the Bracken harvest.[3] Harry Rivers, the Bastard of Bracken, is killed by Lannisters at some point during the war.[4]
Aftermath
Following the Battle of the Camps, Jonos travels from ruined Stone Hedge to Riverrun.[5] Lord Bracken liberates his castle from the Lannisters after Robb Stark is crowned King of the Trident.[6]
During the siege of Raventree after the Red Wedding, Jonos requests land and castles from House Blackwood as recompense for the damage inflicted by the Mountain's men.[3]
After the burning, Lady Bracken spends most of her time praying with her septon.[3]
Quotes
Gregor Clegane laid waste to my fields, slaughtered my smallfolk, and left Stone Hedge a smoking ruin. Am I now to bend the knee to the ones who sent him?[5]
Your Mountain stole my harvest and burned everything he could not carry off. He put my castle to the torch and raped one of my daughters. I will have recompense.[3]
