History
Lord Goodbrook was one of the lords from the Riverlands that stayed loyal to King Aerys during Robert's Rebellion, instead of following the banner of their liege lord. For this, Hoster Tully descended upon his village and burned it. After the war, his son made peace with King Robert I and Lord Hoster, but the wealth of the Goodbrooks had been substantially reduced from the fighting.[3]
