While some are significantly more noble than others, all of the kings and queens who claim the Iron Throne of Westeros throughout the series eventually become corrupted by their quests for power, except for poor, doomed Tommen Baratheon Callum Wharry and Dean-Charles Chapman who was manipulated by so many different factions that he had barely any real authority, despite being nominally king. Even Daenerys Targaryen and Bran Stark Isaac Hempstead Wright who are portrayed as heroic protagonists for much of the series, commit horrible sins before their respective reigns begin. The king who sits on the throne at the beginning of the series, Robert ( Marcos Addy ), is no exception. Although he took the throne from a far worse tyrant, Robert's actual conduct as king, as well as the rest of his behavior before and during his reign, show that he was never worthy of ruling.
Who was Robert Baratheon in 'Game of Thrones' Robert, the eldest son of Lord Steffon Baratheon, was taken as a ward by Jon Arryn ( John Standing ) in Eyrie as a child, during which time he befriended Eddard "Ned" Stark ( Sean Bean ), the future Lord of Winterfell. Years later, Robert became engaged to Ned's younger sister, Lyanna Aisling Franciosi ), with whom he was deeply in love. But when Mongolia Email List Lyanna disappeared, believed to have been kidnapped by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen Wilf Scolding ), and Ned's brother and father were killed by Rhaegar's father, the Mad King Aerys II Targaryen, Ned, Jon and Robert led a revolt against the king that eventually became known as "Robert's Rebellion." After Robert killed Rhaegar and Jaime Lannister Nikolaj Coster-Waldau killed Aerys. At the end of the war that followed, Robert was named the new king.
At the beginning of the television series, Robert appoints Ned the Hand of the King, his chief advisor, following the death of Jon Arryn, who previously held the position. Ned returns with him to the capital city of King's Landing to begin his new duties, secretly planning to also investigate the death of Jon, whom he suspects was poisoned by the Lannisters. He eventually discovers that Robert's children are actually the result of the lifelong incestuous romance between Cersei Lena Headey and Jaime. Before he can reveal the truth, Robert is mortally injured in a hunting accident. Before his death, which is later revealed to have been orchestrated by Cersei, he names Ned temporary Protector of the Kingdom. Ned plans to cede the throne to Robert's brother, Stannis Esteban Dillane but is captured by the Lannisters before he can do so, after which his eldest son, Robb Richard Madden leads the forces of Winterfell and other territories of the north in a revolt against Joffrey Jack Gleeson Cersei's eldest son who has assumed the throne.
