Renly took the Iron Throne, though how long his reign will last remains to be seen. Forced to flee the city or die, Joffrey, his mother and most of his court fled to Casterly Rock and the protection of Lord Tywin.
Allying himself with House Tyrell and rallying his levies in the Stormlands, Renly marched on the capital of King's Landing with a host that dwarfed anything Joffrey could muster. The younger Baratheon brother, Renly of Storm's End, moved swiftly in the aftermath of Robert's death. Joffrey and Stannis are not the only Baratheons with a claim to the Iron Throne, however. His attempt resulted in his capture and sentencing to death. Armed with this knowledge, Lord Eddard attempted to secure the throne for Robert's legal heir, his brother Stannis Baratheon of Dragonstone. Investigations carried out by the Hand of the King Eddard Stark, Lord of Winterfell, prior to Robert's death have revealed that the Prince Joffrey is not the son of Robert Baratheon, but rather the spawn of an incestuous affair between Queen Cersei and her twin brother Jaime Lannister - known far and wide as the Kingslayer. And with her support comes the might and gold of House Lannister, led by the stern and determined Lord Tywin of Casterly Rock. King Robert Baratheon is dead, and the realm trembles under the weight of war and chaos.īy rights, the Iron Throne should have passed to Robert's son and heir Prince Joffrey Baratheon, a claim that Robert's widow and Joffrey's mother Queen Cersei Lannister is keen to see secured.
The Seven Kingdoms of Westeros are in turmoil.
