Ciao vi posto la cronologia della Guerra dell'Usurpatore in Inglese....un lavoro simile in passato lo ha fatto Axl.

Magari questo è piu' approfondito. Comunque come al solito cercasi volenteroso traduttore.

Robert's Rebellion--A Timeline

The following is an indepth timeline of Robert's Rebellion, kindly written and provided by Trade Surplus. There are footnotes throughout the work, which are included at the end. All quotes are from the U.S. paperback editions.

1) The Tourney at Harrenhal. Rhaegar and Lyanna fall in love. Eddard and Ashara Dayne fall in love (rumoured) [49]. Jaime is appointed to the Kingsguard and Tywin resigns the Handship [36].[16],[38]

2) Rhaegar and Lyanna take off together. Robert and the Starks see it as an abduction.

3) Brandon Stark, on his way to marry Catelyn, goes instead to KL with Elbert Arryn (Jon Arryn's heir) and others where he threatens Rhaegar [28]. Rhaegar is not at KL [28]. He is at the Tower of Joy with Lyanna (speculative, see note A).

4) Aerys takes Brandon and his companions prisoner and demands that their fathers come to their trials [28].

5) Except for Brandon's squire Ethan Glover, the sons and fathers are killed, including both Starks and Arryns [33]. Rickard and Brandon Stark are killed in a particularly cruel and bizarre fashion. [3],[28]

6) Aerys sends for Eddard and Robert, at the time staying at the Eyrie. Jon Arryn refuses to send them and raises his banners in revolt [1]. Starks, Arryns and Baratheons lead the revolt. This is the start of the Robellion.

7) Battles of Summerhall. Shortly after raising his banners, Robert wins three battles in one day and brings prisoners back to SE. Robert converts Lords Cafferen and Grandison from supporters of Targaryen to robels. [40],[51]

8) Lord Tyrell and most (all?) of the Reach remains loyal to Targaryen, as does Dorne, though Aerys suspects them and reminds them that he has Elia as hostage [43],[45]. Lannisters and Tullys are still uncommitted.

9) Things start to get hot for the Robels in the South. Robert attempts to take Ashford Castle as a bulwark against Highgarden but is defeated when the siege is relieved by Randyll Tarly and Mace Tyrell[37]. Robert moves North (with his army?); leaving SE to Stannis. Loyalist forces under Mace Tyrell and Paxter Redwyne besiege SE [20], [21]. (Events at Ashford speculative, see note B)

10) Jon Arryn agrees to marry Lysa Tully in return for Tully support in the Robellion [33],[55]. (Tully marriage timing speculative, see note C)

11) Battle of the Bells. While fleeing North to rejoin Eddard and Jon, Robert is trapped in Stoney Sept by Aerys' Hand, Lord Connington. Eddard and the allied Tullys attack Stoney Sept. Robert emerges from hiding to join battle. Denys Arryn killed in battle [33]. Robels win a great victory. They then return North (speculative, see note D).[39],[43]

12) Eddard marries Catelyn and Jon Arryn marries Lysa at the same time. Eddard and Jon return to war [25],[33]. (Tully marriage timing speculative, see note C)

13) Rhaegar returns to KL from the South and starts mustering an army. Barristan Selmy and Jon Darry rally Lord Connington's troops at Stoney Sept. At Aerys' command Lewyn Martell takes command of 10,000 Dornishmen marching up Kingsway.[43]

14) North of the Trident are Starks, Arryns, Tullys and maybe Baratheons. South of the Trident are Rhaegar's newly mustered army, Lewyn Martell's Dornishmen and the troops Jon Darry rallied at Stoney Sept, 40,000 in all including 4,000 knights [13]. Tyrells are still maintaining siege of SE. After close to a year of siege, Davos brings some fish and onions [20],[21],[24],[35].

15) Battle of the Trident. The Robels defeat the loyalists in the key battle of the Robellion. Rhaegar is killed [3]. Robert is wounded. Remnants of Targaryen army flee South to KL. Eddard pursues [7],[46].

16) At Aerys' command, Ser Willem Darry takes the Queen and Viserys to DS.[2],[14]

17) Lannisters get to KL before Eddard [46]. Aerys lets them into the city and they betray him [7]. Jaime slays the King after he orders his Hand, Lord Rossart of the pyromancers, to incinerate the city [44]. Jaime also kills Rossart [36],[47]. Amory Lorch and Gregor Clegane kill Elia of Dorne, Princess Rhaenys and Prince Aegon [10],[22],[52]. Eddard arrives at KL.

18) Robert arrives at KL sometime later. Robert and Eddard fall out over killing of Rhaegar's children. Eddard goes South to fight last battles alone.[6]

19) Eddard raises the siege of SE. Tyrells surrender to Eddard.

20) Eddard, Howland Reed and 5 others reach the Tower of Joy. They kill Ser Oswell Whent, Ser Gerold Hightower and Ser Arthur Dayne, all of the Kingsguard. Inside Eddard finds Lyanna dying in her bed of blood and promises her something.[3],[14]

21) Eddard takes Ser Arthur's sword Dawn to Starfall [4]. Ashara Dayne throws herself into the sea [26],[49].

22) Daenerys' mother dies giving birth to her [15]. Targaryen fleet is smashed in a storm. Stannis builds a fleet to assail DS. Ser Willem Darry flees DS with Viserys and Daenerys before they can be betrayed [2].

23) Eddard and Robert are reconciled over Lyanna's death [6]. Eddard returns North, picking up Catelyn and his son Robb on the way. He also has Jon Snow with him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note A. Rhaegar and Lyanna at the Tower of Joy.

Rhaegar is not at KL when Brandon Stark comes calling. The next we hear of him is when he returns to KL from the South after the Battle of the Bells. Eddard finds Lyanna at the Tower of Joy. I speculate that Rhaegar was enjoying himself at the Tower from the time he abducted/eloped with Lyanna until the Battle of the Bells. I further speculate that Lyanna stayed there for the duration of the Robellion. When Rhaegar returned to KL, he left his three Kingsguard behind to guard his newborn or soon to be born child.

Note B. The Siege of Ashford.

The strategy at Ashford is mostly speculation. Since the battle was won mostly by Randyl Tarly's van we can assume that Robert was in possession of the field before the battle and was driven off by Tyrell. We can further assume that Robert would have been greatly outnumbered by Tyrell's entire host since he was defeated by just the van. If Robert had held the castle before the battle he would likely have retreated inside when faced with overwhelming numbers of foes or when the battle turned against him. Also, Ashford is sworn to Highgarden so Lord Ashford was likely a loyalist. From this I speculate that Robert was attempting to take the castle from the loyal Lord Ashford when Mace Tyrell arrived to relieve the siege. I speculate that Robert's reason for taking the castle was to provide a defence to the Stormlands against attack from the Reach.

Note C. The Tully Marriages.

We know from [39] that Hoster Tully fought for the Robels at the Battle of the Bells. Jon Arryn must have at least agreed to marry Lysa by this time, thus securing the Tully swords. However, the wording of [33] seems to suggest that Jon Arryn's cousin had died at the Battle of the Bells before the double wedding. I am therefore provisionally putting the betrothal before the BotB and the wedding after. This is an uncertain timing at best.

Note D. Aftermath of Battle of the Bells

At the Battle of the Trident the Robels were on the North bank. Robert was fleeing North when traped in Stoney Sept. Jon Darry rode to Stoney Sept after the battle to rally the defeated loyalists. Since Jon Darry would not have ridden to Stoney Sept if the Robels had still been in the vicinity I speculate that the Robels had moved on. Since Robert was going North when he was trapped and Robels later show up North of the Trident, I speculate that the Robels moved Northwards.
