The Battle of Duskendale was one of the final battles of the War of the Five Kings. Its only lasting effect was to bleed the forces further and weaken the noble houses of the North.

Intro

Lord Roose Bolton ordered Robett Glover to take the better part of the Northern foot south and meet up with Ser Helman Tallhart and his archers and march on Duskendale.[2]

The Battle

After the victory over Stannis I at the Battle of the Blackwater and the new alliance between House Lannister and House Tyrell, the two houses combined their forces. Lord Randyll Tarly marched with a sizable army from the Reach to catch the Northern force at Duskendale and threw them back. As the Northern army fell back they encountered Ser Gregor Clegane who had marched from Harrenhal and cut off their retreat. Caught between the sea, Lord Tarly and Ser Gregor, the army was annihilated.[3]

The Aftermath

Ser Helman was killed during the battle and Robett Glover was taken prisoner along with Harrion Karstark. The northern foot was destroyed, which hurt King Robb Stark's ability to retake the North. It was later revealed that Lord Roose had defected to the Lannister side and in his attempt to diminish the Northern lords ability to attack him, he had sent the Northern army to its destruction.[4]
