Whatever works. I plan on re reading them as soon as I finish re reading Feast for the third time

IIRC, it had something to do with fighting over control of The Reach.
It was a brief comment in The Sworn Sword when the Ser Eustace is reminiscing over a broken shield he pulled out of a box (pg. 16 on my Adobe reader). The passage reads:
"The Little Lion's shield." The old man rubbed at the rim, and some flakes of rust came off. "Ser Wilbert Osgrey bore this at the battle where he died. I am sure you know the tale"
"No m'Lord," said Bennis. "we don't as it happens. The Little Lion did you say? Waht, was he a dwarf or some such?"
"Certainly not." The old knight's mustache quivered. "Ser Wilbert was a tall and powerful man, and a great knight. The name was given him in childhood, as the youngest of five brothers. In his day there were still seven kings in the Seven Kingdoms, and Highgarden and the Rock were oft at war. The green kings ruled us then, the Gardeners. They were of the blood of old Garth Greenhand, and a green hand upon a white field was their kingly banner....."
A quick comment, but it struck me to know that the two lands (even though Lannisters are not Casterlys) have been enemies.

I nearly finished with my second read through Feast and Dance.
I read them chronologically, based on the chapter order on Tower of the Hand.
I highly recommend it. An excellent way to read the last two books.
