King Joffrey I Baratheon was the eighteenth king to rule from the Iron Throne and the second king of the Baratheon dynasty. Though believed by most to be the eldest son of King Robert Baratheon and Queen Cersei Lannister, Joffrey is actually a bastard born from Cersei's incestuous relationship with her twin brother Jaime Lannister. He is the older brother of Myrcella and Tommen Baratheon.

―Joffrey Baratheon


Tywin Lannister: "Any man who must say 'I am the King' is no true king. I'll make sure you understand that when I've won your war for you." Joffrey Baratheon: "My father won the real war! He killed Prince Rhaegar! He took the crown, while you hid under Casterly Rock!"

"My mother wishes me to let Lord Eddard join the Night's Watch. Stripped of all titles and powers, he would serve the Realm in permanent exile. And my lady Sansa... has begged mercy for her father. But they have the soft hearts of women. So long as I am your king, treason shall never go unpunished! Ser Ilyn! Bring me his head!"
