Brindlewood
Not to be confused with Spottswood (castle).
On this tab
Brindlewood is the seat of House Santagar, tucked into southeastern Dorne among Planky Town, Lemonwood, and Aguahedionda.
Its name surfaces in accounts of the First Dornish War, when it fell to the Crown without a single sword raised to defend it.
Capture by Rhaenys
During the First Dornish War, Queen Rhaenys Targaryen rode into Brindlewood after putting Planky Town to the torch and before pushing on toward Sunspear.
She found no one to fight her there — only children and old men remained, and the keep fell without a battle.

Knight of Brindlewood
In his own account of the conquest of Dorne, King Daeron I Targaryen recorded a habit of the keep's lord: the Knight of Brindlewood stabled his sand steeds inside his own hall.
