"*You want to know the horrible truth? I can't even remember what she looked like. I only know she was the one thing I ever wanted. Someone took her away from me, and seven kingdoms couldn't fill the hole she left behind.*"
―Robert Baratheon tells Cersei Lannister about Lyanna Stark
King **Robert I Baratheon** was the seventeenth ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and the first monarch of the Baratheon Dynasty. He was the first son of Lord Steffon Baratheon and his wife, Cassana Estermont, and the older brother of Stannis and Renly Baratheon. He reigned from 281 AC until his death in 298 AC, and was succeeded by his legal son, King Joffrey I Baratheon.

He was formally styled as **Robert of the House Baratheon, the First of His Name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm**.

Robert fell in love with Eddard's younger sister, Lyanna Stark, eventually being betrothed to her. Thus, when Prince Rhaegar Targaryen absconded with Lyanna, and Lord Rickard Stark and Brandon Stark were executed by Aerys II Targaryen, Robert launched a rebellion against House Targaryen with the support of House Stark and House Arryn (soon joined by House Tully). The rebellion was all but won by Robert after he slew Prince Rhaegar using his warhammer during the Battle of the Trident, and became the first non-Targaryen King of the Seven Kingdoms by the rebellion's conclusion.

Robert married Cersei Lannister and had three children, Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen. Unbeknownst to everyone, all three were in fact bastards born of an incestuous affair between Cersei and her brother Jaime. Robert was killed in a boar hunt after seventeen years on the Iron Throne, and his death and unclear succession set in motion the War of the Five Kings.

During the Battle of King's Landing, the final battle of the Great War, Bran Stark travelled through time to the climatic duel between Robert and Rhaegar, warging himself into Robert and forcibly warging the Night King into Rhaegar, and used Robert's actions of killing Rhaegar to indirectly kill the Night King and by extension all of the White Walkers and the Army of the Dead.
