Renly also won the support of the powerful Tyrells and many of their bannermen through a secret love affair with Loras and a marriage to his sister Margaery.
The lands of Storm's End are considerably larger and richer than those of Dragonstone, giving Renly more power than his older brother.Īfter Robert's death, through his charisma and familiarity with his Stormlands bannermen, Renly manages to win support from many houses, despite his brother Stannis having the better claim. Stannis conquered the island, but not before Viserys and Daenerys Targaryen escaped, which angered Robert. During the Targaryen dynasty, the seat of Dragonstone was given to the heir to the Iron Throne. Though Renly is Robert's youngest brother, Robert gave the Baratheon seat of Storm's End to him rather than Stannis, who was given Dragonstone instead. King Renly Baratheon is the lord of The Stormlands and a powerful claimant of the Iron Throne.
