Shireen Baratheon

**Shireen Baratheon** was the daughter and only child of Lord Stannis Baratheon and Lady Selyse Florent. She was the Lady of Storm's End and Lady Paramount of the Stormlands following the Years of Consolidation under her cousin **Queen Myrcella I Baratheon**. With her husband Clifford Swann, Shireen had two children Davos Baratheon and Gowen Baratheon.

## Appearance and Personality

Shireen's experiences in the War of Five Kings, during which her father waged an unsuccessful campaign for the Iron Throne, left her a quiet and reserved woman as she matured to adulthood. She had blue eyes and inherited her father's square, jutting jaw, and her mother's large ears. A bout of greyscale as an infant left half of her left cheek and most of her neck covered in cracked and flaking, gray and black skin, which was stony to the touch.

## History

### Exile, 300 - 304 AC

Following the apparent death of her father Ser Justin Massey, a devoted king’s man, fled the Seven Kingdoms with Shireen in tow. For several years Massey sought in vain to raise the swords that he would need to keep his last promise to his king, only in the end to recognize it truly was a lost cause. However, the crownlander was successful in one regard - he successfully negotiated a deal with Queen Myrcella’s regency council that permitted his young charge to return to the kingdoms.

### A Royal Guest, 304 - 306 AC

In a public court of session Shireen renounced any claim to the Iron Throne and swore to be a leal subject of her cousin. For two years she remained in residence at the Red Keep as a guest of Queen Myrcella, during which time the two did form bonds of friendship. After Myrcella was wed to Willas Tyrell in 306 AC, queen and king-consort surprised the court with a magnanimous gesture - Shireen was to be granted the seat of Storm’s End and named to the paramountcy over the Stormlands.

### Marriage and War, 307 - 309 AC

Shireen herself was married but a year later to Clifford Swann, the youngest son of Lord Gulian Swann and brother to Ser Balon Swann of the Kingsguard. Trouble would soon come to the Stormlands, however, as Daenerys Targaryen and Aegon Targaryen returned to the Seven Kingdoms in 309 AC with the intent to conquer. The Queen of Meereen invaded through the Stormlands, first cutting a swath of dragonflame straight through the Rainwood that burned for two weeks. Next she took Griffin’s Roost and Storm’s End, too, where she took Lady Shireen and Lord Clifford hostage.

### Reign, 310 - 350 AC

Following the close of the war the Stormlands returned to a period of relative peace marked by a need to recover. Shireen and Clifford ruled capably together for another 24 years before trouble would return once more, this time in the form of pirates striking from the Stepstones. The Bastards of the Tide were illusive; hitting targets both in Dorne and the Stormlands, they would then flee back to the archipelago where Drogon had retreated after the death of his mother. Lord Clifford died during one failed attempt to pursue the pirates in 335 AC. For 14 years the pirates - flying banners with a seahorse of sea green - harassed the coasts of both regions. Even Weeping Town fell to their blades before Ser Davos Baratheon brought an end to their reign of terror.

### Death, 350 AC

In 350 AC, at the age of 61 years old, Shireen passed from the world. During her time as Lady of Storm's End her family was grown large once more and the Stormlands secure and prosperous despite troubles from abroad. She was succeeded by her son Ser Davos Baratheon.
