Lord of Storm's End

The **Lord of Storm's End** is the ruler of the stronghold of Storm's End, the capital of the Stormlands. The holder is ruler of the entire region of the Stormlands. The current Lord of Storm's End is Gendry Baratheon.

## History

The Stormlands were originally a sovereign nation known as *The Storm Kingdom* until Aegon the Conqueror arrived in Westeros and formed the Seven Kingdoms. Aegon Targaryen sent his bastard brother Orys Baratheon to secure the Stormlands, making him the first Lord of Storm's End.

Former holder Robert Baratheon passed the title to his infant brother, Renly Baratheon when he became the King of the Andals and the First Men following Robert's Rebellion. This has left Stannis Baratheon with issues of resentment towards Robert since he feels as though he should have been the Lord of Storm's End as Renly's older brother. Stannis was named Lord of Dragonstone instead, giving him control of the traditional seat of the Targaryen heirs. Before Robert, his father Steffon Baratheon was Lord of Storm's End.
