House Baratheon

History
Baratheon is the youngest of the original great houses, tracing its descent from Orys Baratheon, one of Aegon I's fiercest generals, and rumored to be his bastard brother. Through the female line, the Baratheons are descended from the Storm Kings, as Orys slew Argilac the Arrogant, last of the Storm Kings, and married his daughter. Orys adopted the sigil and words of his wife's ancestral line.[2] The line of the Storm Kings dates back to the Age of Heroes when their kingdom was founded by King Durran I "Godsgrief", a legendary hero. During the Blackfyre Rebellion, the Baratheons remained loyal to the Targaryen Dynasty, providing much of the force commanded by Prince Baelor Breakspear at the decisive Battle of the Redgrass Field. Princess Rhaelle Targaryen, daughter of Aegon V, married into the House and birthed Lord Steffon Baratheon, continuing the close ties between the dragon and the stag. The rebellion that usurped the Targaryens, however, was started on behalf of Steffon's son Lord Robert Baratheon and his foster-brother, Eddard Stark. The Baratheons and their bannermen were instrumental in the conflict, along with Houses Arryn, Stark, and Tully, and, eventually, House Lannister. The Battle of Summerhall and Siege of Storm's End were fixtures of the Stormlands theater. After the war, the house spawned two cadet branches: one seated on the Iron Throne under King Robert, and another on the Isle of Dragonstone headed by Lord Stannis. During the Greyjoy Rebellion against Robert's rule, the combined Baratheon fleet defeated the Iron Fleet in the Battle of Fair Isle, commanded by Master of Ships Stannis. Stannis later subdued Great Wyk in his brother's name, presumably commanding the stormlords' hosts to do so.
