'''Lord of Storm's End''' is the title held by the noble seated at the castle of [[Storm's End]] since [[Aegon's Conquest]]. Though the castle was originally held by [[House Durrandon]], following the marriage of [[Argella Durrandon]] to [[Orys Baratheon]], Storm's End has been ruled by [[House Baratheon]].

==History==
After the death of King [[Argilac Durrandon]], the last [[Storm King]], his only child, [[Argella Durrandon|Argella]], barred her gates. The garrison of Storm's End, however, preferred to surrender and chained and gagged Argella, delivering her naked to [[Orys Baratheon]], who was in command of the [[House Targaryen|Targaryen]] army. Orys took Argella to wife, the [[heraldry|arms]] and words of House Durrandon for his own, and was granted [[Storm's End]] as his own seat.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Reign of the Dragons: The Conquest}}

Lord Orys remained loyal to House Targaryen, taking part in the [[First Dornish War]], in which he was captured, and maimed by the [[Wyl of Wyl]], also known as the Widow lover.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Stormlands: House Baratheon}} Orys got his revenge during the [[Vulture Hunt]] early in the reign of [[Aenys I Targaryen]], when the Widow lover's son was captured.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Stormlands: House Baratheon}}

Lord [[Robar Baratheon]] was the first Lord to declare for Prince [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen|Jaehaerys Targaryen]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Stormlands: House Baratheon}} He married his daughter to Jaehaerys's eldest son, [[Aemon Targaryen (son of Jaehaerys I)|Aemon]].{{Ref|twoiaf| Appendix: House Targaryen Lineage}} Robar's grandson, Lord [[Borros Baratheon|Borros]], declared for [[Aegon II Targaryen]] during the [[Dance of the Dragons]], and captured [[King's Landing]] for Aegon II during the [[Moon of the Three Kings]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Stormlands: House Baratheon}}

Lord [[Lyonel Baratheon]] betrothed his daughter to Prince [[Duncan Targaryen]], the heir to King [[Aegon V Targaryen]]. In {{Date|239}}, Duncan broke his betrothal by marrying [[Jenny of Oldstones]], after which Lyonel declared the independence of the [[Stormlands]]. A [[trial by combat]] against a knight from the [[Kingsguard]] and the promise of the hand of Princess [[Rhaelle Targaryen]] in marriage to Lyonel's heir, [[Ormund Baratheon|Ormund]], resulted in an end to the defiance.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Stormlands: House Baratheon}}

Lord [[Robert I Baratheon|Robert Baratheon]] was betrothed to [[Lyanna Stark]] when she was kidnapped by Prince [[Rhaegar Targaryen]], Robert's cousin.{{Ref|AGOT|4}} When King [[Aerys II Targaryen]] demanded both Robert's head, and the head of [[Eddard Stark]], Robert's foster father, Lord [[Jon Arryn]] of the [[Eyrie]], rose in rebellion. Robert fought during [[Robert's Rebellion|this rebellion]] as one of its leaders, and was crowned King of the Seven Kingdoms at its end, following the death of Aerys II.

Since he had no sons, Robert granted Storm's End to his youngest brother, [[Renly Baratheon]].
