Lord of the Seven Kingdoms
From Asoiaf
The King of the Seven Kingdoms rules all of Westeros south of the Wall. The current king is Robert Baratheon. His oldest son, Prince Joffrey, is heir. The king is advised by the Hand of the King and the small council. He is protected by the Kingsguard.
King's Landing is the capital.
The Seven Kingdoms were united by Aegon the Conquerer during the Wars of Conquest.
During the Wars of Conquest Aegon granted Storm's End to his rumored bastard brother, Orys Baratheon, after he had defeated and slain Argilac the Arrogant, the last of the Storm Kings.
Harren the Black, King of the Isles also ruled the riverlands, however he was not well loved and many of the river lords deserted him, first amongst them Edmyn Tully, Lord of Riverrun. Harren and his line perished in the burning of Harrenhal. Afterwards Aegon granted Edmyn Tully dominion of the lands of the Trident.
The last King in the North, Torrhen Stark, known as the King Who Knelt, chose to swear fealty to Aegon rather than do battle. He therefore kept his land and continued to rule as Lord of Winterfell.
The last King of the Reach, King Mern, perished at the Field of Fire. His steward, Harlen Tyrell, surrendered Highgarden to Aegon. As reward Aegon gave him Highgarden and dominion of the Reach.
Dorne was united with the rest of the Seven Kingdoms when King Daeron II married Princess Myriah Martell and gave his own sister to the reigning Prince of Dorne.
Aerys II Targaryen, King of the Seven Kingdoms had Brandon Stark murdered.
Jon Arryn, Lord of the Eyrie, Hand of the King, died.
