Accordingly, are Baratheons related to targaryens?
The Baratheons we see in Game of Thrones; Robert, Stannis and Renly are not just related to the Targaryens through Orys though. The three Baratheon brothers are actually 1/4 Targaryen as there grandmother was Rhaelle Targaryen daughter of Aegon V. This would actually make Robert Baratheon and Daenerys second cousins.
are any Baratheons alive? That means every single member of House Baratheon that we've met is dead — except one. As the only living person we know of who still has Baratheon blood, that makes him Robert's last heir. But with Gendry headed north of the Wall with Jon Snow, the final Baratheon might not survive much longer, either.
One may also ask, where are the Baratheons originally from?
House Baratheon traditionally rules the Stormlands on the eastern coast of Westeros, aptly named for its frequent storms, from their seat of Storm's End. House Baratheon became the royal house of the Seven Kingdoms after Robert Baratheon led a rebellion against the Targaryen dynasty.
Who are the Baratheons based on?
But you may not know that Joffrey Baratheon is actually based on a real-life prince, Edward of Lancaster, who, by all accounts, was equally as despicable as young Joffrey. In this article, we'll explore four ways Edward of Lancaster provided Joffrey Baratheon inspiration for Martin.
