Robert's Bastards

 In A Song of Ice and Fire, Robert Baratheon, the former king of Westeros, has several acknowledged and potential bastard children. Here are the known or speculated bastards of Robert Baratheon:

  1. Mya Stone: Mya Stone is one of the more prominent acknowledged bastards of Robert Baratheon. She resides in the Vale of Arryn and works as a guide for travelers to the Eyrie.

  2. Gendry: Gendry is a skilled blacksmith who becomes an apprentice under Tobho Mott in King's Landing. He eventually joins the Brotherhood Without Banners and plays a significant role in the series.

  3. Edric Storm: Edric Storm is another acknowledged bastard of Robert Baratheon. He is raised at Storm's End and has a close relationship with House Baratheon.

  4. Bella: Bella is mentioned briefly in the books as another of Robert's bastards, though not much is known about her.

  5. Barra: Barra was a baby girl born in King's Landing to a prostitute during Robert's reign. She was killed by Janos Slynt on Joffrey's orders during the purge of Robert's bastards.

These are the most notable bastards of Robert Baratheon mentioned in the books. While Gendry and Edric Storm play more significant roles in the narrative, the others are mentioned more briefly or in passing.
