After Prince Jacaerys died in the Battle of the Gullet, Queen Rhaenyra lost King's Landing following the Storming of the Dragonpit. Forced out of the city, she took refuge in Duskendale.
From there she sent word to Winterfell. Lord Cregan Stark answered with a promise of ten thousand northmen, but attached a condition: the march south could not begin until after the last harvest, before winter closed in. The help was thus bound to a timetable Rhaenyra had no way to shorten.
