The Tragedy at Summerhall was a fire at Summerhall, a pleasure castle of House Targaryen in the Dornish Marches, in 259 AC. The conflagration caused the deaths of, among others, King Aegon V Targaryen, his eldest son, Prince Duncan Targaryen, and Ser Duncan the Tall, the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard.[1]
The cause of the fire is as yet unknown, but was connected with Aegon V's desire to restore dragons to the Seven Kingdoms.[1] Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, who was born at Summerhall[1] on the same day,[2] often returned to the ruined castle alone and composed songs for his harp.[3]
