Seagard was one of the sites of Ironborn invasion during the Greyjoy Rebellion, but the army of Rodrik Greyjoy was repelled by Lord Jason, who personally killed Balon Greyjoy's son himself. After this, King Robert Baratheon launches the royal fleet from both Seagard and Lannisport to put down the armies of the Ironborn.
