Taking of Ashemark

The taking of Ashemark is an event in the War of the Five Kings and part of Robb Stark's invasion of the Westerlands, following the liberation of much of the Riverlands from Lannister occupation.
==History==
===Prelude===
The northern army led by Robb invades the Westerlands, surprising the host led by Ser Stafford Lannister at Oxcross and annihilating it."Garden of Bones" With the bulk of the Lannister force stationed at Harrenhal and the remnants of Jaime's army already scattered, the Westerlands are largely defenseless.
===Battle===
Following the victory at Oxcross, the Northern army sacks Ashemark, seat of House Marbrand.
===Aftermath===
Following the taking of Ashemark, Robb's army pushes deeper into the Westerlands, resulting in a new victory in a battle at the Yellow Fork and the subsequent surrender of House Westerling."A Man Without Honor"
==In the books==
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, it is mentioned that Ashemark is easily sacked by Robb's army, and the keep's castellan is killed. Lacking the necessary strength to capture Casterly Rock or Lannisport, the Northern army raids the Westerlands: Galbart Glover and Rickard Karstark raid along the coast, Maege Mormont captures thousands of livestock, and Greatjon Umber - who in the novels remains with Robb - captures the gold mines at Castamere, Nunn's Deep, and Pendric Hills.
