History
House Baratheon of Dragonstone was formed in 283 Al after the War of the Usurper when the new king, Robert Baratheon, named his younger brother, Stannis, Prince of Dragonstone.[1] Stannis took the title as a slight, since he would have preferred the richer lands of Storm's End, the ancestral Baratheon castle, but Robert wanted a strong leader in the old seat of House Targaryen. Around 287, Lord Stannis took Selyse Florent to wife. During the Greyjoy Rebellion of 289, Stannis, as Robert's Master of Ships, led the Baratheon fleets to victory in the Battle of Fair Isle. Since then Stannis and Selyse have conceived their daughter, Shireen, although their marriage remains loveless.
Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
Lord Stannis Baratheon is the first to suspect that Queen Cersei Lannister's children are not also Robert's. While investigating the matter with the Hand of the King, Lord Jon Arryn, Stannis agrees to foster Jon's son, Robin, on Dragonstone. Neither this nor the moment of revealing the information to Robert arrives, however: Lord Arryn is poisoned and Stannis retreats to Dragonstone to call his banners. Before Stannis could return to King's Landing, Robert dies as well and the realm poises for war.
A Clash of Kings
Sending letters throughout the realm, Stannis proclaims himself the rightful king over Queen Cersei's baseborn abominations. Originally, Stannis used the crowned stag of the Baratheons as his sigil, but during the War of the Five Kings, he takes for his personal banner a crowned stag enclosed within a red heart surrounded by a blaze of orange fire on a field of sun yellow.[2] Although the poor lands of Dragonstone allow for little support for his claim, the religion and magic of Melisandre of Asshai has given focus to Stannis's cause, allowing for the assassination of his brother Renly Baratheon and the defection of most of his bannermen. The red religion has become a point of conflict among the house's sworn swords and lords bannermen, with its supporters and fervent believers labeled Queen's Men, and those who cleave to the Faith of the Seven called King's Men. The house's subsequent contest against House Baratheon of King's Landing is denied in the Battle of the Blackwater, forcing Stannis to retreat.
A Storm of Swords
The support of Queen Selyse's family, House Florent, has been important for Stannis, but he resents their meddling. He travels to the Wall and wins the Battle of Castle Black, beginning his campaign to win the North. By this time Stannis has apparently joined his fiery heart sigil with the traditional banner of House Baratheon, a black stag on "a sheet of beaten gold".[3]
A Feast for Crows
