Humfrey Bracken
On this tab
Humfrey Bracken was the lord of Stone Hedge during the Dance of the Dragons, head of House Bracken at a time when the war split the great lords of the Redfork between Greens and Blacks.
His house's old rivalry with the Blackwoods, longtime neighbours and enemies, became bound up in that civil war for the Iron Throne.
With the Greens
Support for the Greens
When the Dance of the Dragons broke out, Humfrey Bracken, lord of Stone Hedge, brought his house behind the Greens. The Blackwoods, his longtime neighbours and rivals, took the opposite side and declared for the Blacks, so the feud between the two Redfork houses became tied to the war for the Iron Throne.

Battle of Burnt Mill
At the Battle of the Burning Mill, Humfrey's son Ser Amos Bracken and Lord Samwell Blackwood were both killed. After the defeat, Ser Raylon Rivers, Amos's bastard half-brother, led the surviving Brackens back to Stone Hedge.
Prince Daemon Targaryen seized the chance to attack the castle and took Lord Humfrey, his remaining children, his third wife, and his mistress prisoner. To save their lives, Raylon surrendered to Daemon.
