#orryn baratheon

[seventhwinterwolf]

with the kings in the north, like how the targaryens were prince of dragonstone / prince of summerhal, would the starks have something like that?

There's no official canon subtitle for the heirs of Winterfell in the current generation, nor has GRRM said there were any way back when.

I like the concept and the restoration of Moat Cailin could lead to the first heir being Prince/Princess of Moat Cailin, and another could be Prince/Princess of the Dreadfort - the Boltons definitely going to be depossed.

I am considering House Baratheon's doing something similar, Crown Prince Orryn will soon become engaged to Lady Margaery Tyrell. In Orryn need to prove himself and assert his capabilities, and seeing how the North has begun to restore their ruined castles and keeps, Orryn would order the repair work for Harrenhal.

location: some discreet location near the water participants: theodoric redwyne & orryn baratheon ( @thescholarstag )

“hey,” theodoric spoke softly, a gentle smile spreading across his face as he took a seat next to orryn. “sorry, it took me a while to find you,” he added, “you know how i am when it comes to directions.” it probably wasn’t necessary to offer up that detailed of an explanation - or any explanation at all but he felt the need to say something - even if it wasn’t important.  almost immediately he found himself inching closer to his friend, until he was able to easily reach out and wrap his arms around orryn's shoulders. he didn't say anything, instead resting his chin on the other's shoulder. they stayed like this for a while longer - the silence only breaking when dory let out a loud gasp. “i can’t believe i almost forgot,” he explained as he began to rummage in his pockets. “i brought tarts. i think there’s a berry and apricot,” he held out his hand for orryn to pick first. 

[atychiphobiias]

"i do," dory's nod was enthusiastic a wide smile already set across his face. the thought of escaping into king's landing would be thrilling even if he hadn't been confined to the red keep. and to do so with orryn, well, that was most of the fun.

"i would love that," he reassured his friend with another eager nod of his head. "we should come up with fake names," he suggested, "pretend we aren't dory and orryn for the night-" this caused him to bite down on his lip as he waited for a response. hopefully, he hadn't misjudged the situation.

Orryn smiled when Dory said that no one would miss him and that he would love to see the city. A hand moving to the other's chest, and then his face. His smiled soon turned mischievous. "You mean it then? Truly? You would want to sneak out together?" Orryn knew exactly how to get out of the Red Keep from here, and even more he kept changes of clothing hidden in the secret tunnels whenever he came for visits for quick escapes.

"I want to see whats going on in the streets of the city, like one of the members of the smallfolk, get away from all this stuffy ceremony, and arrogant nobles. Just the two of us. You want to?"

[grandkhan221b]

Could you draw Orryn Baratheon perchance? I know that’s a super nothing character but I remember I was reading the wiki page for Rogar Baratheon (his uncle I think) and I clicked it cuz I thought his name was cool and I saw the absolutely UGLIEST ai art ever 😭

Lmaoo yeah he's right at the top of the AI images list page so I have to look at it every time I go there, it's definitely one of the ugliest ones. I'll get to him after Alyx Frey

[horizon-verizon]

And whatever her ambitions, Viserra is not trying to make her case with Baelon until her totally unsuitable match with Manderly is imposed on her. Viserra even follows the right course of action and takes her case with her father. It is only when her attempt to reason with her parents fails that she slips, allegedly naked, into Baelon’s bed. She is desperate enough to ask her brother for help. Not unlike her own mother when confronted with an unwanted betrothal. (Alysanne was betrothed, against her wish, by her legal guardians, to Orryn Baratheon and asked Jaehaerys to help her).

Anon is maybe responding to this recent post. They also refer to this quote from "Policy, Progeny, and Pain":

Yes, Viserra may have (likely) developed a crush on her brother Baelon as the last anon supposes, but you, anon, are right I think to point out that she actually decides to "lock ties" only when she's about to be shipped off and neither parent relents or rethink it after she protests. Her getting nude and drunk were acts of desperation as the text/court rumor explicitly clues us in on, to escape this unwanted and undesirable marriage:

The word "rescue" is used. you pointed out another thing Alysanne and Viserra shared, Alysanne and Viserra both appealed to the agent who could get them out of an unwanted marriage--Aly, Jae, and Viserra, these two. Wish I remembered!

If we're saying "right thing" as in "one of the most direct or straitlaced ways she could get herself out", yes. If we're talking "ethically", no bc I don't know if there is an ethical basis in asking your dad to free you from a marriage he allows that puts ethical responsibility on you.

Ladies of House Baratheon:

Fiera*, daughter of Orryn

*This is the daughter of Orryn Baratheon and the unnamed daughter of the Archon of Tyrosh. We don’t know her name so I’ve given her the name Fiera. We also don't know her age relative to her cousin Jocelyn but I find it plausible that she's a bit younger.

1/2 I need to talk about the best incest couple of the ASOIAF universe for those who like wholesome, loving incest: Jaehaerys I and his sister Alysanne.

Not only are they loving to each other, very much in love, but they are framed as really good and wise people. Jaehaerys I is considered the best king to ever sit on the Iron Throne, and is known as The Conciliator. His Good Queen Alysanne stood by his side all her life. They had two big quarrels during their life in which they got separated for a time, but always returned to each other later afterwards. I'm just going to paste some portions of their story, grabbed from A Wiki of Ice and Fire and the book, Fire & Blood: "Queen Regent and King's Hand began to debate with the small council about a bride for Jaehaerys, for the realm needed an heir. Jaehaerys was not present for these discussions, as Queen Regent Alyssa knew that he would choose his younger sister Alysanne if the choice was his. Still recalling the uprising of the Faith that followed the wedding of King Aenys's eldest daughter and son, the councillors agreed that another incestuous marriage was out of the question. Despite numerous suggestions, no suitable candidate could be agreed upon. However, the council did agree quickly on a husband for Princess Alysanne: Ser Orryn Baratheon. As soon as Alysanne discovered her betrothal, she informed Jaehaerys, who acted immediately. He ordered his Kingsguard to discreetly travel to Dragonstone under the cover of darkness, while he and Alysanne flew together to the Targaryen stronghold upon their dragons. On Dragonstone, Jaehaerys and Alysanne married in secret with Septon Oswyck performing the ceremony. Jaehaerys refused to consummate the marriage, as he believed Alysanne to still be too young. Rogar and Alyssa arrived soon after the wedding and, upon learning that the marriage had not yet been consummated, Rogar declared they were not married, and ordered his men to secure the royal children. The Kingsguard defied the King's Hand by forming a wall in front of their king and queen, informing Rogar that he would be the first to die if Rogar's men would attack then. Alyssa convinced her husband to return to King's Landing, while Jaehaerys and Alysanne remained behind. They would spend the rest of the king's minority at Dragonstone. No announcement about the king's marriage was made to the realm. Lord Rogar ordered everyone who had accompanied him to Dragonstone to keep silent about the king's marriage, while Grand Maester Benifer burned the letter Septon Mattheus attempted to send to the High Septon and the Most Devout, on orders of Rogar. Neither did Jaehaerys announce his marriage to the realm, although he easily could have done so.

This is from Fire and Blood:

"What might have happened next no man can say, had not Queen Alyssa chosen that moment to speak. “I have seen enough death,” she said. “So have we all. Put up your swords, sers. What is done is done, and now we all must needs live with it. May the gods have mercy on the realm.” She turned to her children. “We shall go in peace. Let no man speak of what happened here today.” “As you command, Mother.” King Jaehaerys pulled his sister closer and put his arm around her. “But do not think that you shall unmake this marriage. We are one now, and neither gods nor men shall part us.” “Never,” his bride affirmed. “Send me to the ends of the earth and wed me to the King of Mossovy or the Lord of the Grey Waste, Silverwing will always bring me back to Jaehaerys.” And with that she raised herself onto her toes and lifted her face to the king, and he kissed her full upon the lips whilst all looked on.

When the Hand and the Queen Regent had made their departure, the king and his young bride closed the castle gates and returned to their chambers. Dragonstone would remain their refuge and their residence for the remainder of Jaehaerys’s minority. It is written that the young king and queen were seldom apart during that time, sharing every meal, talking late into the night of the green days of their childhood and the challenges ahead, fishing and hawking together, mingling with the island’s smallfolk in dockside inns, reading to one another from dusty leatherbound tomes they found in the castle library, taking lessons together from Dragonstone’s maesters (“for we still have much to learn,” Alysanne is said to have reminded her husband), praying beside Septon Oswyck. They flew together as well, all around the Dragonmont and oft as far as Driftmark. If servants’ tales may be believed, the king and his new queen slept naked and shared many long and lingering kisses, abed and at table and at many other times throughout the day, yet never consummated their union. Another year and a half would pass before Jaehaerys and Alysanne would finally join as man and woman."

This is just a portion of how amazing Jaehaerys and Alysanne are!

They truly are amazing.

Maybe, if House of the Dragon is successful enough, we'll get to see more periods of Targaryen history, and maybe, eventually, these two.

I do wish George had written more of the incestuous marriages like this one, though. He had the power to do it!

After leaving Winterfell and traveling south along the kingsroad the royal procession moves at a glacial pace, much to the great annoyance of Prince Orryn. He is summoned before King Robert and the new Hand of the King to discuss important matters of state regarding the exiled Targaryens and the vacancies left by the late Jon Arryn.

announcing  the  arrival  of  orryn  baratheon  ,  lord   of  storms  end  .  known  for  being  ambitious  ,  the  twenty  five  year  old  can  also  be  very  aloof  ,  but  that's  just  the  rumors  of  the  stormlands ,  they  whisper  that  he  reminds  them  of  a  hastily  written  letter  with  ink  splattered  across  the  page.

the youngest child of the baratheon family, one would think orryn was doted on, loved and cared for and while he couldn't argue his parents didn't love him — he couldn't argue they did either. they had two sons already, then a daughter and another son. he was more than overlooked though it suited his personality more than he liked to admit it.

a bookish boy. that is how he'd be described if he was wrote into history, a conflict avoider and seemingly in the shadow of the siblings he cares for so dearly. the books however, allow his imagination to run wild. he's in his own world more often than not. a maladaptive daydreamer who simply can't leave his own head — the child who was scolded the most for not paying attention despite knowing all the answers.

he's the pinnacle of all he hates. his insecurities make him a man who is fickle and hard to trust, worse than that he is hard to grow attached to and even worse to befriend. his ideas are that of a fun, happy time yet all of the ideas seem to go the opposite way. he's a lord, he shouldn't be so aloof and intimidating yet he cannot help it, he rarely smiles and when he does he finds it quite frightening.

Orryn Baratheon was a younger brother of Lord Rogar Baratheon. In 50AC, he participated in a conspiracy led by his Lord and brother, destined to replace Jaehaerys by his niece, Aerea (daughter of Rhaena). The plot failed, and while Rogar was pardonned by the King, Orryn was exiled to Essos for 10 years. He eventually died in the disputed lands, during a battle against the Men of Valor.

[asongofsilks]

ASOIAF fancasting –> The Stormlands: Rupert Everett as Orryn Baratheon

Ser Orryn Baratheon never did return to Westeros. Together with the men who had accompanied him to Oldtown, he crossed to the Free City of Tyrosh, where he took service with the Archon. A year later, he married the Archon’s daughter, the very maid his brother Rogar had hoped to wed to King Jaehaerys as a means of securing an alliance between the Iron Throne and the Free City. When her father’s term as Archon ended, Ser Orryn lost his position as well and was forced to leave Tyrosh for Myr, where he joined the Maiden’s Men, a free company with an especially unsavory reputation. He was killed soon afterward in the Disputed Lands, during a battle with the Men of Valor.

The five Baratheon brothers can probably win some kind of prize for having the least amount of brain cells between them. Particularly the four younger brothers really typify the “strong but dumb” trope.
