Robert Baratheon

Robert Baratheon is remembered here for killing Crown Prince Rhaegar Targaryen on the Trident. The account places Rhaegar’s death alongside the dethronement and death of Aerys II, marking the end of the line of dragon kings, but does not attribute Aerys’s death to Robert.

The Trident

The account identifies the Trident as the place where Robert slew Rhaegar, Aerys II’s heir. It gives no further description of the encounter or of Robert’s actions beyond the killing itself.

Role in the Dynastic Ending

Rhaegar’s death is presented as part of the collapse of the dragon kings’ line: Aerys II was dethroned and killed, and his crown prince was slain by Robert. The passage thus preserves Robert’s decisive role in the end of the line while distinguishing his recorded act from Aerys’s separate fate.
