Mummer's Ford

el Vado del Titiritero

Mummer's Ford is a crossing of the Red Fork of the Trident, in the Riverlands, with a small village on one of its banks. Its name became tied to some of the earliest and most brutal episodes of the War of the Five Kings, when it was the site of a massacre and, shortly after, of an armed clash between Eddard Stark's forces and House Lannister's.
