Tommen Baratheon is the king of the Seven Kingdoms during book 4: A Feast for Crows. He is the youngest of the royal Baratheon children and seven years old at the beginning of the series. His plumpness, sweet disposition, and weak will are all marked contrasts to his fiery older brother.
King
Tommen was crowned after the death of his brother, and married Margaery Tyrell in his stead to hold on the aliance with House Tyrell. A young and submissive child, he did everything his mother bade him, being more interested in his kittens and games than in the realm. Tommen's pliability worked both ways, however, and he was soon influenced by Margaery to resist his mother's commands. After Cersei was arrested, Tommen continued to sign everything his advisors set in front of him. One of his favorite activities as king was to stamp his seal on official documents.
