Death of Robert I

muerte de Robert I

Robert Baratheon died in the year 298 after the Conquest, eighteen years into his reign, from wounds inflicted by a boar during a hunt. His death left the throne in the hands of an heir whose legitimacy was contested at once, and lit the fuse of the war that would pit five claimants against one another for the Seven Kingdoms.

The hunting accident

The catalogue's material is spare: Robert Baratheon died of wounds torn open by a boar during a day's hunting. The wiki gives no further detail of the scene, though among those implicated, besides the king himself, are Queen Cersei Lannister and her cousin Lancel Lannister.

The death falls in the same year Lord Eddard Stark was serving as his Hand, an office Robert had entrusted to him shortly before. The material gives no month or day, only the year.
