Line 13:

In the [[Seven Years' War]] House Peake was the main reason for the first won battles of the Reach. After the death of Gunnar Peake, the fortune of the forces of the Reach changed.

The Peakes long-standing grudge against House Manderly would eventually be revived during King Gunthor Gardener’s reign, when Gunnar Peake’s initiative to march north on Dunstonbury was met with royal support. Gunthor Gardener, eager to punish the Manderlys and stirred by [[House Middlebury|House Middlebury’s]] influence, gave House Peake tacit approval for their campaign. They won over the Manderlys and strengthend their position in the Reach.

During Magnar Josua Peake’s reign, cruelty, family strife, and accusations of kinslaying fractured House Peake. His treatment of kin and allies led his brother, Halbert Peake, to denounce him, sparking a civil war within the Palemarch that split their bannermen and left the house deeply divided.

During the Gardener civil war of 120 A.I., Josua aligned with Greene Gardener and the “Green” faction, championing the old gods, while the Manderlys supported the rival “White” faction. Josua sacrificed Garland Manderly and later Garmund Manderly, deepening the feud.

In 130 A.I., Aly and Matthew Manderly rose in rebellion against him, attacking Starpike and Ashford. The war was bloody and costly; Josua triumphed, but his heir Omer Peake died of wounds sustained in battle.
