Read house background

House Baratheon rose to power through conquest and collapsed through fratricide — a Baratheon family tree maps one of the shortest-lived royal dynasties in Westerosi history. From Robert's Rebellion to the War of the Five Kings, the Baratheon bloodline is a story of brothers at war and children whose true parentage upends the realm.

The Stag Kings

Robert Baratheon1 won the Iron Throne with his warhammer, but lost his house in the process. His brothers — the rigid Stannis1 and the charismatic Renly Baratheon — each claimed the crown after Robert's death, splitting the realm three ways. Selyse Florent, Stannis's wife, brought her own fervor to his cause, while their daughter Shireen Baratheon became one of the story's most tragic figures. Myrcella Baratheon — officially Robert's daughter, in truth a Lannister — was sent to Dorne as a political pawn. Robert's bastard Edric Storm stands as living proof of the king's true bloodline. And Davos Seaworth, the Onion Knight, rose from smuggler to Hand of the King through loyalty to Stannis alone.

This tree focuses on the Baratheon bloodline and its closest allies during the War of the Five Kings. Drag, click, and explore the relationships that decided the fate of the Iron Throne.
