Reconquest and Defeat
Loss of Massey's Hook
The victory lasted little: within two years, Togarion Bar Emmon, husband to one of King Josua's daughters, defeated the Stormlander forces and placed Josua's own son in command. Soon after, Qarlton II again had to face the Andals, whose ships had begun landing on the shores of the Storm Kingdom.
On his death, the throne passed to his son, also named Qarlton.
