King Robert of House Baratheon: The True Ruler Everyone Claimed He Wasn’t! In the shadow of Westerosi legend, few figures stir as much debate and intrigue as King Robert Baratheon — a man whose rule was as contested as it was commanding.

Surviving the catastrophic War of the Five Kings, he rose from the trenches of battle, proving himself a fierce warrior and shrewd tactician.
