History

House Ashford held a tourney at Ashford Meadow in 209 AC. Lord Ashford's sons, Ser Androw and Ser Robert, were two of the original champions of their thirteen year old sister. During the tourney an altercation occurred between Ser Duncan the Tall and Prince Aerion Targaryen. This resulted in Duncan striking the prince, claiming that he was only following the knight's vows to defend the weak. Aerion demanded a trial of seven to clear his name. Thus the tourney entered history by becoming the theater of the first trial of seven in more than a hundred years. During the trial King Daeron II Targaryen's son and heir, Prince Baelor, was slain by his own brother, Prince Maekar.[2]

Robert Baratheon was defeated at the Battle of Ashford during Robert's Rebellion.[4] As bannermen of House Tyrell, House Ashford can be presumed to have remained loyal to King Aerys II Targaryen during Robert's Rebellion.
