[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms<\/a><\/em> Season 1 Episode 1.]<\/strong><\/p>\n An instantly captivating Baratheon has entered the mix in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms<\/em>. Daniel Ings<\/a>\u2018 Lyonel Baratheon is a standout character from the series premiere of the\u00a0Game of Thrones<\/em> spinoff<\/a>, which debuted on Sunday, January 18. Who is Lyonel Baratheon, and how is he related to Robert Baratheon from\u00a0Game of Thrones<\/em>? We\u2019re explaining everything you need to know about the character from George R.R. Martin\u2019s Tales of Dunk and Egg<\/em> novellas<\/a>, without spoiling what\u2019s to come in Season 1 of this six-episode prequel series.<\/p>\n In Martin\u2019s novellas from the 1990s, Lyonel is the heir of Storm\u2019s End, the ancient seat of House Baratheon, and is nicknamed \u201cthe Laughing Storm\u201d thanks to his booming laugh that he hurls at his opponents in combat. He\u2019s popular among the smallfolk of Westeros and is known to be a strong fighter.<\/p>\n Lyonel is boisterous and funny and loves to party, as shown in the first episode of\u00a0A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms<\/em>. Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey<\/a>) met Lyonel in the Baratheon tent at the Ashford Tournament in the series premiere. Lyonel laughed at Dunk\u2019s ignorance about the customs of meeting Westeros nobility, but he also found it endearing. They partied together all night.<\/p>\n A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms<\/em> tells the story of the first trial by seven in 100 years. Lyonel plays an important role in this story.<\/p>\n Steffan Hill \/ HBO<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms<\/em> takes place 100 years before the events of Game of Thrones<\/em>, which means that the spinoff\u2019s characters aren\u2019t that far removed from characters in the original series.<\/p>\n Headlines, puzzles and death notices from the Valley delivered to your inbox 7 a.m. daily.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Lyonel\u2019s family tree isn\u2019t explicitly explained in the\u00a0Dunk and Egg<\/em> novellas, but we do know that there are two other noteworthy Baratheons in this time period: Gowen and Ormund. Ormund Baratheon eventually succeeds Lyonel, and Ormund is Robert Baratheon\u2019s grandfather, which makes Lyonel a close ancestor of Robert\u2019s, even though Ormund\u2019s exact relation to Lyonel is unknown.<\/p>\n Lyonel has a daughter, but there\u2019s nothing in Martin\u2019s books that says Lyonel had a son (it\u2019s not yet clear if Lyonel\u2019s daughter has already been born in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms<\/em> Season 1). Ormund could be a nephew, a brother, or a cousin to Lyonel, or the show could choose to make him a son, should it intend to clear up the Baratheon family tree. Martin worked closely with showrunner\/executive producer Ira Parker<\/a> on the creation of the spinoff, so it\u2019s possible that some loose ends from his books could be tied up in the show.<\/p>\n Ned Stark (Sean Bean<\/a>) mentions Lyonel by name in Game of Thrones<\/em><\/a> Season 1 Episode 6, when reading through the Baratheon family lineage as he investigates his suspicions that Robert Baratheon\u2019s (Mark Addy<\/a>) children are bastards.<\/p>\n \u201cLord Orys Baratheon, black of hair. Axel Baratheon, black of hair. Lyonel Baratheon, black of hair,\u201d Ned said of the Baratheon family tree.<\/p>\n Dunk is also mentioned in\u00a0Game of Thrones<\/em> Season 1 Episode 3, when Old Nan (Margaret John) asks the badly injured Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright<\/a>) if he wants to hear a story about his favorite knight, Ser Duncan. He\u2019s mentioned again in Season 4 Episode 1, when Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson<\/a>) reads from the pages of the Book of Brothers to torment Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau<\/a>).<\/p>\n A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms<\/strong><\/em>, Sundays, 10\/9c, HBO<\/strong><\/p>\n More Headlines:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yakimaherald.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 1 Episode 1.] An instantly captivating Baratheon has entered the mix in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
