The Rape of the Three Sisters was an invasion of the Three Sisters by the North two thousand years ago. It led to a thousand years of war between the North and the Vale of Arryn. History Previously a free people ruled by their own kings, the islands of the Three Sisters were conquered by the northmen. In response, the Sistermen submitted to the Eyrie in the Vale of Arryn for assistance in ousting the northmen. The Starks and Arryns battled for a thousand years, during which the islands were ravaged by war. A northern castle, the Wolfs Den at the mouth of the White Knife, was besieged by Osgood Arryn and burned by his son, the Talon. The Arryns eventually triumphed over the Starks, although their control over the Three Sisters remained tenuous. Some Sistermen still resent northmen for the invasion. “I have no love for northmen. The maesters say the Rape of the Three Sisters was two thousand years ago, but Sisterton has not forgotten. ”- Godric Borrell to Davos Seaworth
