It is unclear when Robert decided to claim the Iron Throne directly. Although he had decided that Aerys and Rhaegar had to die for their crimes, it is unknown if the fate of their heirs had similarly been decided. This gave Robert a much stronger claim to the throne than anyone in the Arryn, Tully or Stark camps. After Aerys and Rhaegar's deaths, and with Aerys' remaining children surrounded and effectively imprisoned on Dragonstone, the remaining lords of the Seven Kingdoms agreed to swear fealty to Robert and accept him as King. Immensely charismatic, he won people to his side and to his cause through sheer personal magnetism - men who fought to kill him one day would be sharing a drink with him the next. He was never happier than fighting at the lists or on the battlefield.
Father of the Bride House
Upon having his daughter kidnapped, Lord Rickard Stark and his first son, Brandon, travelled to King’s Landing to demand justice. After their murder, the Mad King (Aerys Targaryen) requested the heads of Robert Baratheon and Eddard Stark from Jon Arryn; this led to Jon raising arms against the throne. Robert Baratheon was born to Lord Steffon and Cassana Baratheon as the first-born son of the House Baratheon. Robert had to younger brothers, His first younger brother, Stannis Baratheon, was born two years later. While in his teens, Robert’s youngest brother, Renly Baratheon, was born. While still young, he traveled to the Eyrie in the Vale of Arryn, where he got fostered by Lord Jon Arryn.
Game of Thrones: Season 2
At the end of season 6, where King Tommen Baratheon commits suicide after the destruction of the Sept of Baelor, Cersei Lannister has proclaimed and crowned herself as Queen of the Andals and the First Men. Cersei considered herself the first true ruling queen in the history of the Seven Kingdoms. Although Cersei's claim to the Iron Throne was not explored in detail, it may have derived from her being the widow of King Robert I and the mother of Joffrey I and Tommen I, effectively the heir to the Baratheon dynasty seeing as House Baratheon was extinct at the time of her coronation. The King of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men,[1][a][b] often shortened to King of the Andals and the First Men,[4][c] and sometimes just King of the Andals,[6] is the monarch and head of state of the Seven Kingdoms. The monarch rules as Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, the unified realm which makes up the entire continent of Westeros with the exception of the lands beyond the Wall in the frozen north.
Game of Thrones: Season 4
The royal fleet under Robert I had a considerable amount of vessels, with most primarily based on or around the island of Dragonstone, under the Master of Ships Stannis Baratheon. The remaining ships that remained loyal to Joffrey I numbered at around 20 vessels and the Battle of the Blackwater would pit these two naval forces against each other. During the battle, Acting Hand of the King Tyrion Lannister orchestrated a plan which included sailing an unmanned ship filled with barrels of wildfire towards the center of Stannis's approaching fleet, and having Bronn ignite it with a flame tipped arrow.
After her death, he married for the sake of alliances and was not in love with Cersei. With the death of Jon Arryn, Robert Baratheon travels to Winterfell and meets Eddard Stark. He asks him to become the new Hand of the King, and after a discussion, Eddard agrees.
He also showed a good sense of humor in remarking that Ned had 'gotten fat', before raucously laughing when Ned silently indicated that he had done too. He was also completely capable of laughing at his own expense, as evidenced by this, and when he almost attended the tourney with his belly on display before Ned pointed it out. Robert, a great warrior and charismatic man in his youth, took the throne through conquest in the war known as Robert's Rebellion, which began when the Prince of Dragonstone, Rhaegar Targaryen, allegedly abducted Robert's betrothed, Lyanna Stark. Killing Rhaegar at the Battle of the Trident, his climactic duel turned the tides of the war in his favor.

Robert does have one acknowledged bastard, Edric Storm, whom he acknowledged because his mother was a member of the nobility. Robert had no part in raising him, instead sending him to foster at Storm's End. Seventeen years later, Robert Baratheon died of a wound taken on a boar hunt. His eldest son, Joffrey Baratheon, now rules from the Iron Throne, but his rule is contested by those who claim that he was born of incest between the Queen and her twin brother, Jaime, including both of Robert's brothers. As a result, House Baratheon faces the prospect of an internal conflict over the future of the House.
Game of Thrones: Season 7
United, the formidable army of the rebels marched south and smashed the royalist forces at the Battle of the Trident, where Robert slew Prince Rhaegar during a ferocious duel with a blow of his war hammer. Robert sustained some wounds during the fight and had to send Eddard to attack King's Landing. Instead, Jon, Eddard (now Lord of Winterfell) and Robert raised the standards of rebellion. House Tully had also been done insult, as Brandon had been betrothed to Lord Hoster's daughter Catelyn. Some hard and fast politicking was done by Lord Jon and it was agreed that Catelyn would marry Eddard and Hoster's eldest daughter Lysa would marry Jon. In exchange Hoster Tully joined his forces to those of the rebellion.
Although Robert's reign is relatively peaceful, he proves to be an ineffective ruler. He is unhappy in both his marriage to Cersei, whom he abuses, and his responsibilities as king, and lives a life of infidelity and wanton excess. He fathers many bastards, and is unaware that his three children with Cersei had been fathered by her twin brother Jaime Lannister. A house with a tradition of being aggressive, they rule the stormy eastern coast. Their brutal treatment at the hands of Aerys the Mad made them the first to rise in rebellion against the Targaryens. The Baratheon sigil is a crowned black stag inherited from their Durrandon predecessors.
Head to the top level of the newest Granville in Pasadena's bustling Lake Avenue shopping district for an intimate escape. While all locations of the popular Southern California chain serve booze, this is the only outpost with a rooftop concept. Lit by strung bulbs and trendy basket lights, only 50 people at a time can enjoy the lounge seating, gas fireplace, potted plants, and glassless window behind the bar facing the San Gabriel Mountains. For those who know exactly what they like, there’s a well-organized menu for build-your-own gin and tonics or spritzers; or play it safe with the gin-based specialty and classic cocktails.
Aegon II ultimately had Rhaenyra fed alive to his dragon, but her supporters continued to fight in the name of her children, and not long afterwards Aegon II himself died childless. As the only remaining heir of Viserys I or Aegon II, Rhaenyra's own son Aegon III inherited the throne (Aegon III's own sons both died childless, and ultimately Rhaenyra's younger son Viserys II succeeded to the throne). He is betrothed to Sansa Stark, who completely falls in love with the handsome Prince.
This makes House Baratheon of King's Landing a nigh-cadet branch of House Lannister. Of course, given that bastard children (particularly unacknowledged bastards) cannot inherit, it is unlikely that it will ever be considered an "official" cadet branch of House Lannister. In reality, House Baratheon of King's Landing became a puppet house of House Lannister the moment Joffrey I ascended; all three of Robert Baratheon and Cersei Lannister's supposed children were actually the products of an incestuous relationship between Cersei and her twin brother Jaime.
Brad Pitt’s character lived in a trailer behind the Van Nuys drive-in theatre, which was actually filmed at the Paramount drive-in since the Van Nuys location no longer exists. The Happy Days House is located near Paramount Studios where the show was filmed. I visited Garry Marshall’s grave the day after I came to see this house so it felt like a very full-circle moment. Several homes get a little bit of a transformation for their on-screen appearance.
His parents were returning from Essos when they were caught in a sudden storm. Robert and his brother, Stannis, were standing on the walls of Storm's End and witnessed their parents ship breaking up on the rocks. Robert was incredibly strong all of his life, and wielded a warhammer in battle that proved nigh-impossible for anyone else to wield. However, Robert was also a fierce swordsman, described as entering the Battle of the Bells with a sword in hand and surviving. He maintained a ferocious voice throughout his life, one that could rally whole armies to him.
