House Baratheon, root and branch — 40 names across 10 generations, seated at Storm's End in The Stormlands. Each band below is a single generation, eldest first; the mono line beneath a name gives its parents, so the descent reads down the page. Dates follow the maesters, and where the songs outrun the records the chronicle hedges the legend as legend.
Styled Last Storm King
The last of a line of storm kings said to stretch back to Durran Godsgrief chose to die in the open field rather than behind Durran's walls, and Orys Baratheon obliged him at the Last Storm. Pride, the septons remind us, is a sin; Argilac made it a strategy.
Styled First Lord of Storm's End, Hand of the King
Wed Argella Durrandon
Rumored — never once confirmed by the Conqueror, who did not deign to answer — to be Aegon's baseborn half-brother, Orys slew Argilac, wed his daughter, and prudently kept the Durrandon stag, words, and colors. The Wyls took his sword hand in Dorne; he collected a grisly interest on that debt in his final campaign, and died of his wounds on the road home, smiling.
Styled Lady of Storm's End
Wed Orys Baratheon
Parents Argilac Durrandon
She declared herself Storm Queen and vowed to resist; her own garrison delivered her to Orys chained and naked. That he wrapped her in his cloak and treated her gently is recorded; her opinion of the arrangement, characteristically, is not.
Parents Orys Baratheon · Argella Durrandon
A son of Orys who fought beside his father in the Vulture Hunt and carried home the account of the old lord's contented death. King Aenys heaped gold and honors upon him afterward, which has led the maesters to guess — and it remains a guess — that it was Davos who next held Storm's End.
Styled Knight of the Kingsguard
Parents Orys Baratheon · Argella Durrandon
A younger son of Orys who took the white cloak for Aenys I and put himself between his sleeping king and a Poor Fellow's dagger when the Faith rose in arms. The Faith Militant were not admirers of his work.
Styled Lord of Storm's End, Protector of the Realm, Hand of the King
Wed Alyssa Velaryon, Queen Dowager
Grandson of Orys through a son the chronicles never firmly identify — Davos, perhaps — Rogar defied Maegor, raised up the boy Jaehaerys, and wed the boy's mother — a giddy ascent followed by a long, instructive fall from royal favor. He died of a wasting illness, having outlived his power but not his pride.
Styled Queen Regent
Wed King Aenys I Targaryen; later Rogar Baratheon
Widow of one king and mother of another, she fled Maegor with her children and lived to see Jaehaerys crowned. She died upon the birthing bed at Storm's End, cut open at the last that her daughter Jocelyn might live — a harder courage than any her lords husband showed.
Rogar's next brother quarreled with him bitterly and, to the family's lasting embarrassment, took up with the Vulture King's outlaws in the red mountains. Cornered in his brother's last Dornish campaign, he was slain by the young king's own hand — sparing Rogar the name of kinslayer, if little else.
The most dutiful of Rogar's brothers, Garon kept to his lord's side through rebellion, regency, and disgrace alike, was with him at the end, and afterward governed Storm's End as regent for the boy Boremund. Chronicles reward such men with a sentence apiece.
A brother of Lord Rogar whom the Shivers carried off in a single winter along with his sons. His two daughters outlived the plague and were taken to court as wards beside their cousin Jocelyn; beyond that, the maesters found little in him worth the ink.
The youngest of the five brothers was exiled ten years for a scheme at Oldtown the crown declined to forgive, wed the Archon of Tyrosh's daughter across the narrow sea, and fell at last as a sellsword of the Maiden's Men in the Disputed Lands. Ambition runs strong in Baratheon blood; judgment is distributed less evenly.
Styled Lord of Storm's End
Parents Rogar Baratheon · Alyssa Velaryon
Stone, they said of him: hard, strong, unmovable — and never more so than at the Great Council of 101 AC, where he stood almost alone for his niece Rhaenys and her son. He died in the years between, spared the war his stubbornness foretold.
Styled Princess of Dragonstone
Wed Prince Aemon Targaryen
Parents Rogar Baratheon · Alyssa Velaryon
Born of her mother's death, Jocelyn grew tall, black-haired, and beautiful, and wed the Old King's heir. Her daughter Rhaenys is remembered as the Queen Who Never Was — which makes Jocelyn the grandmother of grievances that took fifty years to ripen into the Dance.
Styled Lord of Storm's End
Wed Elenda Caron
Parents Boremund Baratheon
Unlettered where his father had been unmovable, Borros auctioned his allegiance for a royal match, looked on while Prince Lucerys was slain beneath his roof's shadow, and died leading Aegon II's last army at the Kingsroad. The chronicle does not say whether he ever grasped how much of the Dance was danced upon his floor.
Styled Lady of Storm's End
Wed Borros Baratheon
Daughter of Nightsong, she gave her lord four daughters and, seven days after his death, the son he had demanded — then named the boy for her own father rather than the dead king Borros had chosen, and ruled Storm's End as the infant's regent. Widows enjoy certain small liberties.
Parents Borros Baratheon · Elenda Caron
Eldest of the storm lord's daughters, briefly betrothed to King Aegon II and briefly certain she would be queen. She was wed instead to a thrice-widowed landed knight — the Dance was unkind even in its footnotes.
Parents Borros Baratheon · Elenda Caron
Her jape at Prince Aemond's expense — asking whether Lucerys had taken his eye or one of his stones — helped send the one-eyed prince hunting the boy into the storm over Shipbreaker Bay. She ended among the silent sisters, and the maesters note, dryly, that hers was the last jest she is recorded to have made.
Parents Borros Baratheon · Elenda Caron
Third of the Four Storms, offered up with her sisters when Aemond One-Eye came shopping for a bride. History remembers the offer better than it remembers Ellyn.
Wed Lord Thaddeus Rowan
Parents Borros Baratheon · Elenda Caron
The youngest of Borros's daughters and the prettiest by her father's own boast, she was dangled before a one-eyed prince, promised to Larys Strong, and wed at last to Lord Thaddeus Rowan, dying in childbed within two years of the wedding. The chronicles spent more ink on her betrothals than her life.
Styled Lord of Storm's End
Parents Borros Baratheon · Elenda Caron
Born seven days after his father fell at the Kingsroad, the infant lord was named Royce for his Caron grandsire — his father had wanted an Aegon, but dead men's wishes are lightly kept. A lord in swaddling clothes, he inherited a house on the losing side and a realm eager to forget why.
Styled Lord of Storm's End, briefly self-styled Storm King
He laughed as he fought at Ashford Meadow and laughed harder in rebellion, crowning himself Storm King when Prince Duncan jilted his daughter for Jenny of Oldstones. It took Ser Duncan the Tall in single combat and the promise of a princess for his heir to make the stag kneel again — on terms, one notes, rather favorable to the stag.
Styled Lord of Storm's End, Hand of the King
Wed Rhaelle Targaryen
Parents Lyonel Baratheon
The price of his father's peace was a Targaryen bride, which proved no hardship. Hand to Jaehaerys II, he led the host against the Ninepenny Kings and died on Bloodstone at the hand of Maelys the Monstrous, in the arms of his son — an ending the singers found almost too tidy.
Styled Lady of Storm's End
Wed Ormund Baratheon
Youngest daughter of Aegon the Unlikely, given to Storm's End to salve the Laughing Storm's honor. Through her, her grandson Robert would one day dress conquest in the respectable clothes of cousinage — the best claim, as ever, being the one written in blood both spilled and inherited.
Styled Lord of Storm's End
Wed Cassana Estermont
Parents Ormund Baratheon · Rhaelle Targaryen
Aerys sent his cousin across the sea to find a bride of old Valyrian blood for Prince Rhaegar; Steffon found none, and drowned within sight of home when the Windproud broke apart in Shipbreaker Bay. His two eldest sons watched from the castle walls, and neither was ever quite done watching.
Styled Lady of Storm's End
Wed Steffon Baratheon
Of Greenstone, she gave the stormlands three sons — a king, a would-be king, and a king of summer — and died beside her lord in the wreck of the Windproud. The gods, having given the house so much, took their fee in advance.
Styled King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men

Dashed cards mark bastards and baseborn lines. Names shaded behind the veil belong to the present tale; unveil them only if you do not fear to know.
Younger sons and daughters whose blood struck out on its own — some founding houses of their own name, some withered to a line in the annals, some disputed to this day.

Where the records quarrel, contradict, or fall silent, this chronicle sets the arguments down rather than settling for you what the texts leave open.
Orys Baratheon's paternity: rumored throughout the realm to be the baseborn half-brother of Aegon the Conqueror by Lord Aerion of Dragonstone. Aegon never confirmed it, never denied it, and raised Orys higher than any trueborn friend — the maesters are invited to draw their own conclusions.
Ormund Baratheon's precise kinship to the Laughing Storm: the histories name him only Lord Lyonel's heir. A son is likeliest, and so the septons record it; the documents that would prove it were never written, or never kept.
The succession between Orys and Rogar: the chronicles name two sons of Orys and Argella — Davos, who rode in the Vulture Hunt, and Ser Raymont of the Kingsguard — yet never say outright which son held Storm's End after Orys or fathered Lord Rogar. Davos, showered with honors by King Aenys, is the maesters' favored guess; a guess all the same.
The paternity of Queen Cersei's three children: letters circulated by Lord Stannis name them abominations born of incest, citing the curious failure of Baratheon black to appear in a single golden head. The crown's position is that the letters are treason; the septons observe that treason and falsehood are not synonyms.
The jilted daughter of Lyonel Baratheon: the girl whose broken betrothal to Prince Duncan set the stormlands ablaze is nowhere given a name — the war is remembered, the woman is not.
Whether the exact year of Lord Boremund's death, and the dates of Lord Lyonel's own passing, can be fixed at all: the chronicles bracket them by council and by war, and honest maesters write 'before the Dance' and 'before the Ninepenny war' rather than invent a number.
This tree gathers every named Baratheon the novels and their histories record — kings and lords, daughters and bastards, cadet offshoots and all. The maesters count only what the texts preserve; where a name survives without its deeds, the chronicle says as much rather than inventing the rest.
Each band down the page is one generation, eldest first. Beneath a name, the mono line names that person's parents, so descent reads from the top down. Dashed cards mark bastards and baseborn lines; cards behind the veil hold fates from the present tale, revealed only if you choose to unveil them.
House Baratheon holds Storm's End. The tree opens with the earliest forebears the records name — legendary where the singers outrun the maesters, firmer once true dates begin — and this chronicle marks the myths as myths, never dressing a song up as a certainty.
A good many. Contested parentage, missing generations, bynames left unexplained, and legends the singers embroider all appear under 'What the maesters dispute' at the foot of this page, where the arguments are set down without pretending to close what the books leave open.
