With King Aerys II Targaryen dead and the surviving Targaryens fled to Dragonstone, Mace dipped his banners as soon as Eddard and the rebels appeared on the field. This food allowed the garrison to survive long enough for Lord Eddard Stark to lift the siege after the Battle of the Trident and the Sack of King's Landing. ĭavos, a notorious smuggler, slipped through the Redwyne fleet's lines and entered Storm's End with a ship loaded with onions and salt fish for the starving garrison. Gawen eventually died in his cell during the siege. Maester Cressen convinced Stannis to imprison the men, however, since the garrison might need to eat the dead if their food ran out. Stannis prepared to have them hurled at the Tyrell host via catapult. There was at least one breach in discipline, when the master-at-arms at Storm's End, Ser Gawen Wylde, and three knights were caught trying to sneak out a postern gate to surrender.
Meanwhile, Mace and his bannermen, such as Paxter and Lord Mathis Rowan, feasted within sight of the walls. Donal Noye lost an arm during the siege after an axe wound festered. The siege continued for the better part of a year, with the garrison having to eat their horses, dogs and cats, and were nearly forced to eat their own dead. Lord Mace Tyrell descended on Storm's End with the Reach's host, while Lord Paxter Redwyne took the Redwyne fleet of the Arbor and closed Shipbreaker Bay to all trade, essentially cutting Storm's End off. The castle's granaries and storehouses were only half-full, as war had been unexpected. Following Robert's defeat by Lord Randyll Tarly at the Battle of Ashford, driving Robert away from his base of power, the Tyrell host advanced directly on Storm's End, laying siege to it. He left his younger brother, Stannis, and a small garrison to hold Storm's End. Robert Baratheon, Lord of Storm's End, took the majority of the stormlands' forces with him after the battles at Summerhall. The siege was lifted only when Lord Eddard Stark arrived after the Sack of King's Landing and the Battle of the Trident.
Lord Mace Tyrell and most of his forces from the Reach besieged Storm's End, which was held by Stannis Baratheon, for the better part of a year. The siege of Storm's End took place near the end of Robert's Rebellion. Unknown, though unlikely to be significant
