Shortly after the tournament, Lyanna was apparently kidnapped by Rhaegar. The story (as told by [[Robert Baratheon]]) goes that Rhaegar carried her off and raped her. {{Ref|aGoT|66}} But Barristan Selmy is instead convinced that "''Prince Rhaegar loved his Lady Lyanna''," though that love sent thousands to their respective deaths. {{Ref|aDwD|67}} According to [[Viserys Targaryen]], Rhaegar was simply not happy with his marriage. If Rhaegar was happy with Elia, he would not have needed Lyanna. He once blamed their sister [[Daenerys Targaryen]] for being born too late to marry Rhaegar. A happily married Rhaegar would need neither Elia nor Lyanna. Daenerys, countered that, by the same logic, it was the fault of Viserys that he was not a girl. Because then he would be the sister destined for Rhaegar. Viserys beat her cruelly for her insolence. {{Ref|aSoS|42}}

Her oldest brother [[Brandon Stark]] was on his way to [[RiverrunCorrerrio]] when the news reached him. He rode straight to [[King's LandingPorto Real]]. Entering the [[Red KeepFortaleza Vermelha]] with a few companions ([[Ethan Glover]], [[Jeffory Mallister]], [[Kyle Royce]], [[Elbert Arryn]]), he roared for Rhaegar "to come out and die." But Rhaegar wasn't there. [[Aerys II Targaryen|King Aerys]] had Brandon and his companions arrested, accusing them of plotting murder and charged them with treason. Aerys summoned their fathers to court, supposedly to answer the charge against their sons. When they presented themselves, Aerys decided to kill them all, fathers and sons together. Brandon and Lyanna's father, Lord [[Rickard Stark]], demanded a [[trial by combat]], and the king granted him the request. Lord Stark was allowed to armor himself for battle but was then suspended from the rafters over a blazing fire, Aerys choosing "fire" as his champion. He had Brandon watch as Rickard slowly roasted, the young son attached to a device which tightened a cord around his neck whenever he moved. Trying to reach for his longsword and rescue his father, Brandon strangled himself. They died with no real trial. {{Ref|aCoK|55}} This was a primary impetus for [[Rebelião de Robert's Rebellion]]. Aerys next demanded the heads of Robert and Eddard. They were both wards of Jon Arryn, the Lord of the Eyrie having pledged to protect them. Arryn responded to Aerys by raising his banners in revolt. {{Ref|aGoT|2}}

During the war, Lyanna's fiancé Robert and brother Eddard were important leaders, together with [[Jon Arryn]], who had been their foster father. The decisive battle of the war came at [[Battle of the TridentBatalha do Tridente|the TridentTridente]], where Robert slew Rhaegar in single combat and the rebels defeated the royal army.{{Ref|aGoT|4}} According to the stories of [[Viserys Targaryen]], Rhaegar had fought and died for "''the woman he loved''." {{Ref|aGoT|3}} [[Daenerys Targaryen]] believes in that version of the story. {{Ref|aGoT|64}} One of the visions Daenerys sees in the [[House of the Undying]], seems to depict the last moments of Rhaegar. Rubies are flying from his chest like drops of blood. then his knees sink in the water. He whispers the name of a woman with his last breath. {{Ref|aCoK|48}}

Following the [[Battle of the Trident]], the remnants of Rhaegar's army retreated toward [[King's Landing]]towards the capital. Robert was wounded and unable to pursue them, but he entrusted Eddard with the pursuit. Eddard expected to find the city gates closed, with Aerys II and several thousand Targaryen loyalists leading the defense. He reached the city just after the [[Sack of King's LandingSaque de Porto Real]] by the forces of [[House Casa Lannister]]. For most of the rebellion, the Lannisters had remained neutral, ignoring calls to arms by both the rebels and the loyalists. Then [[Tywin Lannister]] and 12,000 mil of his soldiers reached the capital. Aerys opened the gates to them, mistaking them for allied reinforcements. Instead they were there to sack the city and join the rebels. {{Ref|aGoT|12}} [[Pycelle]] had managed to convince Aerys II to open the gates. The King did so, unaware that Pycelle himself was only loyal to Tywin.

Aerys II had one last plan: [[the Wildfire Plot]], a way to burn the capital, leaving for Robert only ashes, charred bones, and cooked meat. He commanded [[Rossart]], the [[Hand of the King]], to activate the plan, making certain to take the Lannister forces with him to his funeral pyre. Meanwhile, he gave [[Jaime Lannister]] orders to decapitate Tywin and bring the head to him. Jaime instead killed Rossart and then attacked Aerys himself, killing him. [[Elys Westerling]] and [[Roland Crakehall (LordLorde)|Roland Crakehall]] then entered the throne room, finding Jaime with the corpse. At about the same time, [[Gregor Clegane]] and Amory Lorch were scaling the walls of the [[Red KeepFortaleza de Maegor#Fortaleza Vermelha|Fortaleza de Maegor's Holdfast]] as Eddard Stark was leading his own forces through the city gates. When Eddard entered the throne room, he found Jaime o [[Regicida]] seated on the [[Iron ThroneTrono de Ferro]]. {{Ref|aSoS|11}} {{Ref|aSoS|37}}
