Coronation of Joffrey I
On this tab
The coronation of Joffrey I in King's Landing, in 298 AC, makes the elder son of Queen Cersei Lannister king of the Seven Kingdoms. His mother rises with him, named queen regent, and a new court fills the offices left open by the change of throne.
The ceremony settles nothing: several great lords refuse to recognize the new king and raise their own claims, and the War of the Five Kings begins.
Coronation and Appointments
Joffrey is crowned King of the Seven Kingdoms in King's Landing, with his mother Cersei Lannister at his side as queen regent.
The new reign hands out offices: Tywin Lannister becomes the new Hand of the King, Jaime Lannister rises to Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, and Sandor Clegane swears in as one of its brothers. Barristan Selmy is dismissed from the Kingsguard, and Janos Slynt joins the small council.

Rival Kings
The crown fails to convince the whole realm: Renly Baratheon has himself crowned in Highgarden and Stannis Baratheon proclaims himself king at Dragonstone, each with his own claim to the Iron Throne.
Their claims, added to those of other lords, set off the War of the Five Kings.
