  • Lord Ormund Hightower died during the confrontation, while betrayal by Hugh Hammer and Ulf the White turned the tide for the Blacks, burning and sacking the town in the process.
  • The House of the Dragon adaptation significantly altered the source material, with characters like Daemon and Gwayne Hightower playing central roles not found in Martin's writing, reshaping the battle's outcome.
