With Robb Stark in rebellion, the Lannister forces engage him in the Riverlands. Stannis Baratheon sends word to all the realm that Joffery Baratheon is in truth Joffery Waters, and that Edric Storm is to become Edric Baratheon. Sansa and Arya Stark are taken captive, while Robb Stark declares war on the Iron Throne. He is executed, leaving control of the city to House Lannister. Queen Dowager Cersei Lannister, however, refuses to accept Eddard's proclamation.
Both are informed of the boy's falseborn nature, and Renly is sent to fetch him. Eddard Stark, Lord of Winterfell and Hand of the King, aware of Joffery's status as a bastard himself, sends word to the late king's brothers. The King Robert Baratheon, wounded and dying, denounced his son Joffery Baratheon as unfit to rule and legitmized his bastard by Delena Florent young Edric Storm. Though the Lannister influence on the King and Crown had long been envied and despised by lords from across the realm, it was not until 299AC that it came to an abrupt and violent end. Afterwards, Tywin's daughter Cersei was wed to King Robert. Meanwhile Tywin's knights killed the rest of the Targaryens in the capital to prove their commitment to Robert's cause. There Ser Jaime Lannister, still a Kingsguard, slew Aerys, the last crowned Targaryen king. Only after the defeat of Prince Rhaegar at the Trident did Lord Tywin bestir himself to join Robert Baratheon against the Targaryen dynasty, perpetrating the Sack of King's Landing when the Lannister loyalist Grand Maester Pycelle suggested the gates be opened. Though Aegon ended their kingdom and removed their crown, the House of Lannister remains a proud and regal one, and is one of the most powerful in all of Westeros.ĭuring Robert's Rebellion, the Lannisters stayed neutral for the majority of the war. The wealth of the region's gold mines saw their coffers fill to legendary levels, tales of Lannister wealth even reaching far away Essos.
For centuries the Lannisters have held sway over the Westerlands, heroes and villains all bearing the title of King of the Rock. The Lannisters of legend appear in the chronicles just as the Casterlys fade - they claim their descent from a legendary hero named Lann the Clever.
