The Baratheons are a prominent noble family in the fictional world of Westeros, created by author George R.R. Martin. They are known for their strength and resilience, with their sigil featuring a crowned black stag on a gold field. The family originated from the stormy lands of Storm's End and rose to power during the Robert's Rebellion, which led to Robert Baratheon becoming king. The Baratheons have three main branches: House Baratheon of Storm's End, House Baratheon of Dragonstone, and House Baratheon of King's Landing. Key members include Robert Baratheon, Stannis Baratheon, and Renly Baratheon. Their legacy is marked by internal conflict and struggles for power, particularly during the War of the Five Kings.
