284 AC

Year 284 After the Conquest (284 AC) is a year in the Westerosi calendar, the 284th after Aegon's crowning in Oldtown that maesters and educated people use as a reference to date the years.

284 AC was marked by the birth of Princess Daenerys Targaryen, which caused the death of Dowager Queen Rhaella Targaryen, during a big storm. This storm caused the remaining Targaryen fleet that had been protecting Rhaella and her son Viserys Targaryen while they remained in exile on Dragonstone, the last remaining seat of House Targaryen. The destruction of the fleet gave Stannis Baratheon the oppertunity to take the new Baratheon fleet and capture Dragonstone. The garrison at Dragonstone, however, was already willing to give up Viserys and Daenerys. Ser Willem Darry spirited the two remaining Targaryens away to safety, to prevent their capture and deaths.
