Westeros Notorious Rulers and Families

Tommen I Baratheon

King Tommen was also known as Prince Tommen, The Boy King, Tommen-called-Baratheon, son of Robert I Baratheon (Or Jamie Lannister), and Cersei Lannister, born in 291 AC. King Tommen Married Margaery Tyrell, they had no children.

History: Tommen once adopted a fawn as a pet, but his elder brother, Prince Joffrey, later killed and skinned the animal. It is also implied Joffrey bullies and abuses Tommen physically or emotionally. Following the tourney on Prince Joffrey's name day, Tommen and his siblings traveled with Cersei to Casterly Rock with their grandfather, Lord Tywin Lannister.

Recent Events: Tommen is part of the entourage of his father, King Robert I Baratheon, who journeys to Winterfell following the death of Lord Jon Arryn. At Winterfell, Tommen spars with Bran Stark using wooden swords.

Tommen and Myrcella do not recognize a dirty Arya Stark when she chases cats in King's Landing. Arya bowls over Tommen when she escapes from House Lannister guards.

Lord Eddard Stark, the new Hand of the King, discovers that Tommen and his siblings are not the biological children of Robert, but are fathered by Cersei's twin brother, Ser Jaime Lannister. With Robert dying from being gored by a boar, Lord Renly Baratheon suggests that Tommen and Myrcella be seized and that Arya wed Tommen. Eddard refuses, however. Tommen's older brother, Prince Joffrey, becomes king after Robert dies. Tommen is present when Eddard is arrested in the throne room. Tommen attends the tourney on King Joffrey's name day. Joffrey laughs at Tommen when the youth is struck by a quintain. Announcing his claim to the Iron Throne, Stannis Baratheon declares that his nephew Joffrey and his siblings are abominations born of incest. Tommen cries when Myrcella sails from King's Landing for Dorne. The riot of King's Landing breaks out after Myrcella leaves the harbor. With rioting and the War of the Five Kings making King's Landing increasingly unsafe, Queen Cersei Lannister plots to sneak Tommen out of the city to Rosby under the protection of Lord Gyles Rosby, disguised as a page. However, Tommen's uncle, Tyrion Lannister, the acting Hand of the King, learns of the plot and sends Ser Jacelyn Bywater to intercept the party on the Rosby road and take Tommen to Rosby himself, thereby under Tyrion's control and not Cersei's. Tommen adopts a fawn at Rosby, and Jacelyn tasks his men with evacuating the boy to an unknown location if King's Landing falls during the war.

Tyrion threatens Cersei that any harm inflicted on Alayaya, a prostitute believed to be Tyrion's lover and arrested under the queen's orders, will be visited upon Tommen as well. The Kingsguard knight who allowed Jacelyn to take Tommen, Ser Boros Blount, is stripped of his white cloak by Cersei.

After Jacelyn Bywater is killed in the Battle of the Blackwater, Cersei has Tommen brought back to King's Landing by the Kettleblack brothers.

Acting of his own accord while the Hand of Stannis, Lord Alester Florent attempts to settle a peace agreement with Lord Tywin Lannister, Tommen's grandfather, that involves a promise of marriage between Tommen and Stannis's daughter, Princess Shireen, but his plans do not come to pass.

During the wedding feast of Tyrion and Sansa Stark, Tommen, who is now taller than his uncle, dances with Megga Tyrell and Sansa. Tommen participates in the wedding of Joffrey to Margaery Tyrell, handing the bride's cloak to his brother. The boy scatters rose petals before the king and queen after the ceremony. Tommen screams and cries when Joffrey chokes to death at his wedding feast.

Tommen is crowned king in the aftermath of Joffrey's death, and plans are made for him to wed Margaery Tyrell in Joffrey's stead. Not wanting Cersei to raise Tommen, Tywin wants Jaime to abdicate as Lord Commander of the Kingsguard and educate the boy as his ward and squire at Casterly Rock. However, Jaime refuses. Jaime orders Boros Blount to serve as the boy king's food taster.
