Edric Storm

From A Wiki of Ice and Fire

Edric Storm is the bastard son of King Robert Baratheon and Delena Florent.

[edit] Appearance

Edric is a sturdily attractive youth, with coal-black hair and deep blue eyes common to the Baratheon line, although he also has the large ears common to House Florent.

[edit] History

Robert and Delena are thought to have conceived Edric on the night of Stannis Baratheon and Selyse Florent's wedding in the couple's own wedding bed. As Delena was nobly born, Edric Storm was acknowledged by his father, and was reared in relative comfort at Storm's End under the guardianship of Ser Cortnay Penrose, Renly's castellan, who was very fond of him.

When Stannis besieged Storm's End, Cortnay Penrose resisted in fear of what Stannis would do to Edric. Ultimately Stannis took the castle and shipped Edric to Dragonstone, where he spent time with Stannis's daughter Shireen. Melisandre pleaded with Stannis to sacrifice Edric, as she believed that a sacrifice of noble blood would wake dragons from stone to help Stannis. Fearing that Stannis would eventually cave to Melisandre's demands, Davos Seaworth had Edirc secretly shipped away.
