Fire and Blood
When King Robert Baratheon died, Ned Stark, the Hand of the King and Warden of the North, refused to recognize Prince Joffrey—who Ned had discovered to be a bastard—as the rightful heir. Joffrey assumed the Iron Throne anyway and had Ned executed, leading to a four-way civil war in which Robert’s brothers Stannis and Renly both claimed the throne and Ned’s son Robb led a rebellion in the North.
