Iron Throne (A Song Of Ice And Fire)
The Iron Throne, in the fantasy novel series ''A Song of Ice and Fire'' by George R. R. Martin, is the throne of the monarch of the fictional Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, and serves as a metonym for the monarchy of Westeros as an institution. The success of the HBO television adaptation ''Game of Thrones'' has made the show's version of the royal seat an cultural icon, icon of the entire media franchise. Martin said in 2013, "Say ''Game of Thrones'', and people think of the HBO Iron Throne." Martin called the depiction of the throne in his 2014 ''A Song of Ice and Fire'' companion book ''The World of Ice & Fire'' "absolutely right". He has noted repeatedly that none of the previous media representations of the throne—including books, games and the TV series—closely resemble what he had in mind when writing his novels. ''A Song of Ice and Fire'' In the series, the Iron Throne is both a physical seat of office as well as a metonym for the monarchy of Westeros. Martin establish ...

He is the second son of Steffon Baratheon and Cassana Estermont, as well as the brother of Robert – lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Renly – lord of Storm's End. He is the Lord of Dragonstone, and after his elder brother's death, becomes a claimant to the Iron Throne of Westeros and a key player in the subsequent civil war. Stannis's goals are frequently impeded by his lack of manpower and resources, owing to his unpopularity with other noble houses. He must therefore rely on the counsel of the foreign priestess Melisandre and his right-hand man, lowborn smuggler Davos Seaworth, who he later promotes to Hand of the King. Stannis often struggles to escape the shadow of his two more overtly charismatic brothers, particularly Robert. Though first mentioned in 1996's '' A Game of ...
