How old is robert baratheon

His mother retaliates against this power by blowing up the Sept of Baelor, killing the Sparrow, Margaery, and countless innocents. Tommen reacts by jumping from a window of the Red Keep, killing himself.

Baratheon affiliates These characters are not Baratheons by name, but have spent a great deal of their time either in the company of Baratheons, aiding The Baratheons, or loyal to the Baratheon efforts. Davos is a landed knight and former smuggler in the service of Stannis, whom he serves as Hand of the King. Stannis reprimanded Davos by cutting the tips off of four of his fingers, as punishment for smuggling. He also knighted him and rewarded him with land as a thank you for helping his soldiers survive.

Davos remains loyal to Stannis during all his motions toward becoming king but hates Melisandre, with whom he regularly fueds and contests. He then becomes an advisor to Jon. Born a slave in Essos, she is a priestess of the Lord of Light and advisor to Stannis. She aids his campaign to acquire the Iron Throne, feeling he is the true heir in the eyes of the Lord of Light. She wears a red ruby necklace and is frequently naked. Melisandre is responsible for the murder of Renly Baratheon, whom she killed by birthing a shadow demon with the face of Stannis capable of executing him.

Thoros tells her of his power to resurrect the dead and gives her Gendry, whom he had in custody. After helping Stannis do little more than destroy his own family and army, she abandons him and flees to Castle Black following the mutinous murder of Jon Snow Kit Harington.

There, she reveals she is actually an extremely old and grotesque figure kept beautiful by magic. He and Cersei had three children: Joffrey , Myrcella , and Tommen. However, unbeknownst to Robert and most of the realm, all three were actually fathered by Cersei's twin brother, Jaime Lannister. On the other hand, Robert had many bastards from other women, including Gendry and Barra.

Robert was the first son of Steffon Baratheon and Cassana Baratheon , and had two younger brothers, Renly and Stannis. His parents died in his youth when their ship was caught in a storm; Robert, standing on the walls of Storm's End with Stannis, witnessed his parents ship that was returning from Essos break up on the rocks.

Robert was betrothed to Lyanna Stark , Eddard's sister. At the time of their betrothal, Robert beat Richard Lonmouth during the tourney at Harrenhal. However, Lyanna was allegedly kidnapped by Rhaegar Targaryen. Lyanna and Aerys died during the civil war that followed.

Robert claimed the Iron Throne because he started the war and killed Prince Rhaegar personally. The other leaders of the rebels, Jon Arryn and Eddard Stark, believed that Robert, with his claim and charismatic personality, should be king and both stood aside.

However, due to Tywin Lannister brutally sacking King's Landing and Gregor Clegane murdering Elia Martell and her two children with Rhaegar in cold blood, Robert and Eddard briefly fell out over the former's refusal to make Tywin and Gregor answer for their war crimes.

Robert was devastated by Lyanna's death, but was urged by Jon Arryn to marry Cersei of House Lannister , making an alliance with her father Tywin Lannister, who had joined his cause late in the conflict and delivered the capital of King's Landing to him.

Stannis fought for Robert through the war though the two brothers never loved each other. Renly was only a child during the war, so he did not fight. Renly later joined the small council as Master of Laws. Robert has been the King of the Andals and the First Men and the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros since the end of the civil war. However, he was more interested in drinking, whoring and hunting than ruling his kingdom.

He revels in the glory days of the rebellion. He leaves running the kingdom largely to his small council , led by Jon Arryn. King Robert also loves to throw events such as tournaments at which he spares no expense. Unfortunately, after seventeen years Robert's excesses have left the realm deeply in debt for a shocking six million Gold Dragons , half to House Lannister. He apparently has three children with Cersei: Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen.

Unbeknownst to Robert, all three were actually fathered by Cersei's twin brother Jaime. He has an unacknowledged bastard son named Gendry fathered on a tavern wench. Jon Arryn began investigating the lineage of Cersei's children, comparing their appearance to Robert's bastard offspring.

He died under mysterious circumstances shortly after beginning his investigation. Robert has decided to ride north to Eddard's keep Winterfell to name him as Jon Arryn's replacement. The royal party arrives in Winterfell and Eddard presents his household to Robert.

After initial greetings, Robert demands to see the crypts and pay his respects, stoking Cersei's impatience. In the crypts, Robert places a feather in the hand of a statue of Lyanna. He tells Eddard that in his dreams he kills Rhaegar every night anew, but Eddard replies that House Targaryen is destroyed. Robert formally offers Eddard the role of Hand of the King , telling him that he needs someone to run the kingdom and revealing that he feared betrayal from within his court.

Eddard asks for time to think about it. Robert agrees but offers a sweetener: the hand of his son Joffrey in marriage to Eddard's daughter Sansa. A great feast is held in honor of the king's visit to Winterfell. The next morning Eddard and Robert go hunting and Eddard accepts Robert's offer, with Robert stating that Ned is a loyal friend, the last one he's got. The parties depart Winterfell. Days later, on the Kingsroad south to the capital, Robert calls a halt to discuss some newly-arrived dire news with Eddard.

Robert's spies have learned of Daenerys Targaryen 's marriage to Khal Drogo whose khalasar is reported to number over one hundred thousand people. Eddard points out that the Dothraki cannot cross the Narrow Sea , as they have no ships, but Robert is concerned that the Seven Kingdoms will soon face another war. A curious Robert asks Eddard about Wylla , the alleged mother of his bastard son, Jon Snow , but Eddard refuses to talk about her. On the Kingsroad, the royal party reaches the Inn at the Crossroads , a noted stop on the way south to the capital.

Joffrey was injured by Nymeria , a direwolf belonging to Ned's younger daughter Arya during the halt. Arya is brought before Robert and truthfully blames Joffrey for instigating the incident but Joffrey's falsified version of events is supported by Sansa. Robert appears to sense what is going on and becomes furious that a minor fracas has become a major incident with his wife and his new Hand accusing one another's children; he also appears to exhibit disdain towards Joffrey over the fact his son was beaten and disarmed by a girl several years his junior.

He decides to let Ned discipline Arya whilst he will do the same to Joffrey, but to appease his Queen he agrees that a direwolf must be executed.

When Nymeria cannot be found, Robert acquiesces to Cersei when she demands that Sansa's wolf Lady be killed instead, infuriating Ned, who carries out the deed himself. He avoids the small council meetings where discussion of the kingdom's mounting debts and the difficulty of paying for the tournament are raised.

Robert swaps old war stories with Ser Barristan Selmy and Jaime, whilst also humiliating his 'useless' squire, Lancel Lannister. Jaime Lannister, left guarding his room outside, is hypocritically infuriated by the insult done to his sister by this, and vents about it to Jory Cassel. Robert learns that Daenerys is pregnant and orders that she and her brother Viserys Targaryen be assassinated. Eddard disagrees with the decision, and resigns as Hand, enraging Robert. Later, Cersei asks the King if it was wise to lose Eddard in this way and they, with surprising civility, discuss their marriage.

Robert admits that he never loved her because of Lyanna, although she died so long ago that he can no longer remember her face. Cersei asks why Robert is so worried about the prospect of a Targaryen-aligned Dothraki army. Robert explains that should the Dothraki cross the Narrow Sea, the nobles can retreat to their castles, but the smallfolk would be slaughtered, and the nobles in the castles will starve while the Dothraki rove outside the gates. Robert's brother Renly reports that Robert is planning a big hunt and has asked Renly to accompany him, a prospect Renly dreads.

Robert and Cersei visit Eddard as he recovers at the Tower of the Hand , from wounds sustained fighting Jaime and his guards. Cersei is furious with Eddard for having her brother Tyrion arrested and for fighting with Jaime, but Eddard is unrepentant. She wants Robert to take action against him, but Robert refuses to condemn him, without hearing Eddard's side, and tells her to be silent.

When Cersei protests further, and calls Robert a woman, he hits her. She says that she will wear the bruise with honor. Robert tells her to be silent, or he will honor her again, and Cersei leaves in anger. Afterward, Robert restores Eddard to his position as King's Hand, and tells him not to resign again or he will give the position to Jaime.

He tells Ned to end the animosity between House Stark and House Lannister, as strife between the two houses could lead them into war, and that he is leaving on a hunt in the Kingswood and wants the realm at peace by the time he returns. Robert goes hunting, taking Selmy, Lancel and Renly with him. Being supplied with wine by Lancel, Robert becomes drunk and nostalgic, and Renly becomes annoyed with Robert for glorifying the "good old days" and leaves the hunt to return to the castle.

Robert is badly wounded whilst trying to kill a boar while hunting. He is taken back to the capital and on his deathbed tells Joffrey that he wishes he could have been a better father to him. Eddard has learned that Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen are not Robert's children, but are instead the product of incest between Cersei and her twin brother Jaime, a fact he is unable to tell the dying Robert. Robert also asks him to cancel the attempt on Daenerys's life but it comes too late to stop it.

Renly also flees the city, after telling Eddard that he would make a better king than his and Robert's other brother and the rightful heir , Stannis. After learning the true parentage of Joffrey and his siblings, Stannis has his scribe Matthos Seaworth prepare a letter to be distributed to the Seven Kingdoms. As Matthos is reading a rough draft of this letter to Stannis, the latter orders the reference to Robert as his "beloved brother" be taken out since he and Robert never loved each other.

When Joffrey hears the "rumors" about his parentage as well as the fact that Robert had other children, he realizes that his enemies may think that Robert's bastards have a better claim to the throne than he does. In response to this threat, he orders the City Watch of King's Landing to hunt down and kill all of the bastards. Under the leadership of Lord Commander Janos Slynt , the Watch carry out a city-wide massacre of Robert's bastards, including the infant Barra.

The only bastard known to have escaped this slaughter was Gendry. Cersei claims that at some point prior to his death possibly as he lay mortally wounded after the boar hunt , Robert specified that he did not want to be buried in the Great Sept of Baelor in King's Landing, where the remains of previous kings from the Targaryen dynasty are interred; instead, as per Robert's instructions he was buried alongside his forefathers at his family's ancestral castle, Storm's End.

Meanwhile, Robert's bastard Gendry - having now survived imprisonment under Gregor Clegane at Harrenhal as well as the massacre back in King's Landing - is now traveling with the outlaw group called the Brotherhood Without Banners who ultimately exchange him to the red priestess Melisandre in exchange for two bags of gold. Unaware of what she intends to do with him, Gendry is initially cordial towards Melisandre who reveals the truth about his father as they pass the Red Keep.

They arrive at Dragonstone where Gendry meets his uncle Stannis, who refers to his nephew as "half Robert, half low-born. However, Gendry is later freed by Davos Seaworth before Stannis and Melisandre can completely sacrifice him thus preserving Robert's bloodline. When Joffrey is assassinated at his own wedding feast , Tommen becomes the heir apparent despite the "rumors" about his actual parentage. As he stands vigil with Cersei and Tywin over Joffrey's corpse in the Great Sept of Baelor , Tywin proceeds to grill Tommen as to what makes a good king.

At one point, Tommen asks about strength and Tywin refutes this by pointing out that Robert was a paragon of strength but ultimately not a good king. He goes on to cite that during his 17 year rule, Robert only attended a scant three meetings of his own small council. Despite the way Robert treated him during his time as squire, Lancel - who has since abandoned his family name and joined the fanatical movement known as the Sparrows - is haunted by the part he played in Robert's death.

He attempts to raise the subject with Cersei at Tywin's funeral but she feigns ignorance and brushes him off. Eventually, however, Cersei confesses to her relationship with Lancel to the High Sparrow, saying she was lonely and afraid. When reminded by the High Sparrow that she had a husband, she flippantly argues that Robert was off whoring every chance he got but the High Sparrow shuts her down by saying, "His sins do not pardon your own. Despite his warning that speaking falsehoods before the gods is a great crime, Cersei continues to lie that her children were in fact fathered by Robert.

Though the High Sparrow casts a rather suspicious glance toward Cersei, he relents but informs her that there will still be a trial to ascertain the truth behind the other charges that she continues to deny, including Robert's murder.

In Winterfell, Sansa visits the crypts before her marriage to Ramsay Bolton and finds the feather that Robert had placed in the hands of Lyanna's statue years earlier. The actor playing Robert pokes fun at the king's death and frequently mocks his drinking problem. As Cersei tortures a captured Unella after killing the rest of the Sparrows, she finally 'confesses' to killing Robert. Meanwhile, Bran Stark discovers the true identity of Jon Snow's mother was none other than Lyanna Stark, who died shortly after giving birth to him.

As she lay dying, Lyanna begged her brother Eddard to protect her son out of fear that Robert would surely kill him if he found out that he was actually fathered by Rhaegar Targaryen. Varys notes that Robert was a more pleasant alternative to Aerys, but Robert had no real wish to be King. Daenerys firmly accuses Varys of disloyalty to her, by hiring assassins to kill her during her pregnancy on Robert's order. Varys forgets or neglects to mention that Ned Stark had told him that as Robert lay dying, he had rescinded his order to kill Daenerys.

Qyburn and Cersei later visit the tombs where the dragon skulls are kept. This is a very hefty coin for it's size. Has a great feel in the hand. The design is very attractive and makes a lovely package overall. Robert Baratheon Star 2 reviews.
