Maidenpool is sacked multiple times during the War of the Five Kings. Once by Ser Gregor Clegane and then by Northern forces, possibly under the command of Ser Helman Tallhart or Harrion Karstark, and lastly by a group of outlaws.
After Lord Randyll Tarly wins the Battle of Duskendale he marches his army North and retakes the castle of Maidenpool, throwing Lord William Mooton into a tower cell. Harrion Karstark is also held as a prisoner of the Iron Throne at Maidenpool.
