May I please ask if you think Summerhall was a priority target for the Third Blackfyre Rebellion? (I am inclined to think it was by virtue of the fact that capturing that palace – a soft target compared to the Red Keep – early in the campaign would gift the Black Dragon a PR coup to dispel the humiliation of The Fiddler, as well as give them a better than even chance of either seizing or destroying Prince Maekar as well as a majority of the remaining Targaryens … in theory).

There’s no evidence of where the Third Blackfyre Rebellion happened at all, so it’s certainly possible. 

However, it doesn’t strike me as good military strategy – it puts you right in the Stormlands with King’s Landing to your north and Dorne to your south, and at the end of the day you have a summer palace and not the actual seat of power in the Stormlands. 

If it were me, I’d land in Yronwood lands and make a quick dash into the Reach.
