Brella ran his household whilst he was in King's Landing. Ser Cortnay Penrose served as the castellan of Storm's End. He is "near twenty" when we first meet him. He is present when Arya Stark is brought before the king.
He laughs out loud when hearing of Prince Joffrey Baratheon 's defeat at the hands of a small girl, and at the name that Joffrey had given his sword. Renly is dispatched ahead of the royal party, with the orders to command Grand Maester Pycelle to convene a meeting of the small council.
There, he reveals that Robert has left orders for a tourney to be arranged, celebrating the appointment of Lord Eddard Stark as Hand of the King. He later rides in said tourney, being unhorsed by Sandor Clegane , who sends him flying. His impact is such that a part of the golden antler on his helm cracks, which he graciously gifts to Sandor, who throws it into the commons dismissively. Renly is considered a favourite of the spectators. While his brother lies dying, Renly proposes to Eddard to strike when the castle sleeps, wanting to take control.
Renly later arrives at Highgarden , where he marries Margaery Tyrell. Renly holds a tourney at Bitterbridge when Catelyn arrives, asking for help for Robb. She is disgusted to see Renly hold a tourney instead of fighting a war, like her son does. Renly and Catelyn discuss the disappearance of Barristan Selmy when a rider informs them that Stannis is besieging Storm's End.
Renly rides to Storm's End and holds a parley with Stannis, holding a peach. The parley results in the brothers going to battle nonetheless but Renly is killed while preparing, as he is stabbed by a shadow birthed by Melisandre. Recent blog posts Forum.

In the books he is 21, in the show he's obviously supposed to be older late twenties perhaps. Can you elaborate on the part with manhood questioning?
I don't remember it. Perhaps Robert was questioning his manhood due to his homosexuality, not age? Also keep in mind that Robert was his older brother. Questioning his manhood is part of the gig.
There was a conversation between Renly and Robert that touched on what Renly did during the war which I think drops clues about how old he was at the time, don't remember it clearly though.
Also I think the manhood-questioning was in the context of their very different attitudes to war - Robert lives for fighting, hunting and killing, Renly condemns such things as barbaric and is more of a society man, and both disapprove of each other — user56reinstatemonica8.
According to the Renly's page on Wiki it's the only scene they had together. I don't see any age-related manhood questioning here. Maybe there was a different scene, where Robert was talking about Renly, without Renly present. MatthewStevenson You mean this scene? Yes, Renly says that Robert "treats him like a spoiled child", but because he hasn't been to war, doesn't like fighting, etc. Show 3 more comments. Active Oldest Votes.
Since answers started to show up I've decided to summarize my comments into one. In addition, Renly was legitimately kind to Brienne, saving her from scorn when they first met and comforting her, and voicing to Loras that he appreciated her devotion to him.
Scottish actor Sam Heughan auditioned for the role of Renly, as well as for the role of Loras and also a number of members of the Night's Watch. Heughan went on to star as Jamie Fraser in the live-action adaptation of Outlander , opposite Tobias Menzies , who played Edmure Tully.
He is fifteen years younger than King Robert, whom he strongly resembles in appearance, charisma, and personality. He is the Lord Paramount of the Stormlands and the Lord of Storm's End, a source of friction between him and his brother Stannis, who holds the far colder, poorer and more isolated castle of Dragonstone in the King's name.
Renly is tremendously friendly, open and honorable, but also has a tendency towards flippancy and not taking events seriously. His closest friend - and lover - at court is his former squire, Ser Loras Tyrell , now a formidable knight. Renly on behalf of Loras has been helping them he talks about this with Stannis in the negotiation of Storm's End, Stannis taunts him for taking Robert's leavings.
Renly wants Robert to put Cersei aside to marry Margaery. Eddard is oblivious, he thinks it's funny that a man who looks like a young Robert, Renly, has now imagined the woman he loves, Margaery, is a young Lyanna.
In the novels, the relationship between Loras and Renly is more subtly depicted than in the TV series, with only guarded references to the relationship in the interactions between other characters. This is largely due to the narrative mechanics: Renly, Loras, and Margaery are not POV characters in the first two books. However, author George R. Martin has independently confirmed that they were involved in a relationship. In the negotiation scene with Stannis, Renly tells him that Margaery came to him a maiden, Stannis replies that in his bed, she will die one.
Brienne is in love with Renly and cried at his wedding. Littlefinger and Varys seem to know due to their spy rings , and even Jaime Lannister makes an off-hand comment about it at one point. When directly asked how widely Renly's relationship with Loras was known about citing that even Jaime knew , George R.
Martin's only response was "what do you think? Loras mentions at one point after Renly's death that he owned books with "drawings that would turn a septon blind," implying that he possessed quite an impressive collection of gay porn. From all evidence, though, it seems that Renly and Loras were monogamous and faithful to each other.
Loras never said what happened to Renly's extensive book collection after he died. Renly is described as possessing an uncanny physical resemblance to his older brother Robert when Robert was his age.
Robert was considered quite an attractive man in his youth before the stress of ruling led him to overeating and drinking. Renly is considered even more attractive. Sansa remarks that Renly is the most attractive man she has ever seen.
In the first novel, A Game of Thrones , Renly is described as having green eyes. However, in the second novel, A Clash of Kings , he is described as having blue eyes. Author George R. Martin only noticed this error when fans pointed it out. Therefore, in a later book, Martin included a wink at his previous mistake by having a character recall that Renly had "blue-green" eyes, which looked blue or green depending on the light he was standing in.
The matter is rendered moot in the TV series, as actor Gethin Anthony has brown eyes. In the books, the way Renly regards Robb's coronation demonstrates very clearly the differences between him and Stannis: Stannis, blunt and tactless as ever, tells Catelyn "I am the rightful king, and your son no less a traitor than my brother here.
His day will come as well" - thus ruining any chance of alliance with the Starks. Renly, on the other hand, acts diplomatically in that matter: he makes it clear to Catelyn that he won't let Robb secede the North from the authority of the Iron Throne, but he's willing to let him rule the North and the Riverlands, and even hold the title of King in the North - but he demands Robb to swear fealty to him, and accept him as his overlord.
Renly's manner of death is slightly different in the books. Instead of stabbing him in the chest, the shadow slits his throat, cutting through his steel gorget "like cheesecloth".
Renly did not have a Kingsguard, but founded a new order, the Rainbow Guard, identical to the Kingsguard in almost every way. Each member had a different color that they wore, i. In the books, when Stannis confronts Renly at their final parley, Renly flippantly offers him a peach, to emphasize that he doesn't take Stannis' threat seriously.
The TV series removed this though Renly does inspect an apple while meeting with Littlefinger in his tent in " Garden of Bones ". Fans were initially baffled at why such a seemingly inconsequential but cherished moment from the books was omitted. As writer Bryan Cogman later explained that what happened was:. In the third novel " A Storm of Swords ", the old woods witch known as the Ghost of High Hill speaks about Renly: " I dreamt I saw a shadow with a burning heart butchering a golden stag.

Renly Baratheon. View source. History Talk 5. Do you like this video? Play Sound. He's not a king. Eddard Stark : " Renly. I told them this meeting could wait another day. Petyr Baelish : " One hundred gold dragons on the Mountain. A dozen barrels of Dornish wine? Or a girl from the pleasure houses of Lys? They may be the most pompous, ponderous cunts the gods ever suffered to walk the world, but they do have outrageous amounts of money.
Robert Baratheon : " Those were the days! The ones where half of Westeros fought the other half and millions died? Or before that, when the Mad King slaughtered women and babies because the voices in his head told him they deserved it?!
Or way before that, when dragons burned whole cities to the ground?! You might be my brother, but you're speaking to the King. You have odd notions about protecting the Realm! That didn't matter when you rebelled against the Mad King, it shouldn't matter now! What's best for the Kingdoms? What's best for the people we rule? We all know what Stannis is.
He inspires no love or loyalty. He's led men into war twice, he destroyed the Greyjoy fleet. So was Robert! Tell me something, do you still believe good soldiers make good kings? I don't like your face, I don't like the words that come oozing out of your mouth, I don't want you in my tent one minute more than necessary. So, tell me. Why are you here?
You never wanted any friends, brother, but a man without friends is a man without power! Is he a ham? I loved him once. I believe we are natural allies, I hope he feels the same. Together, we can end this war in a fortnight. That thrones are only made for the hated and the feared? You would be a wonderful king. Petyr Baelish : " I did notice your brother entering His Grace's tent just now. Not only to me, but to the realm. He was very gallant. He would have been a wonderful king.
Jaime Lannister : " Sounds like you quite fancied him. Did you ever tell him? No, of course not. You weren't Renly's type, I'm afraid. He preferred curly-haired little girls like Loras Tyrell.
You're far too much man for him. It's all true about Renly. His proclivities were the worst kept secret at court. It's a shame the throne isn't made out of cocks.
They'd have never got him off it. And I don't blame you, either. We don't get to choose who we love. Davos Seaworth : " Because he has your blood in his veins. Renly declared himself king when the throne belonged to you. He raised an army, stole your bannermen. Renly was the king's brother after all He danced with me because he was kind and didn't want to see me hurt.
He saved me from being a joke from that day until his last day. Brienne of Tarth : " I am Brienne of Tarth. I was Kingsguard to Renly Baratheon.
I was there when he was murdered by a shadow with your face. You murdered him with blood magic? Do you have any last words? Do your duty. Before Renly was assassinated with blood magic. Or forgive.
