The Seven Kingdoms and Their Origins

Westeros, the continent where Game of Thrones unfolds, was originally composed of seven distinct kingdoms. When the series begins, the Iron Throne is occupied by King Robert Baratheon, the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, known as the King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men.

The Baratheon dynasty, which ascended to power following the rebellion against the Targaryen rulers, traces its lineage back to the time when the Andals invaded Westeros.

These invaders established the seven original kingdoms, setting the stage for centuries of conflict and alliance. Notably, the Baratheons were among the first to support the Targaryen conquest, with Orys Baratheon, an ancestor of Robert, becoming the first Hand of the King to Aegon the Conqueror.

The Conquest of Westeros

Aegon Targaryen, known as Aegon the Conqueror, played a crucial role in shaping the political landscape of Westeros.
