Pre-Game of Thrones mothers: Cassana Baratheon

Lady Cassana Baratheon née Estermont was the wife of Lord Steffon Baratheon. Together they had three sons, Robert, Stannis and Renly. King Aerys II Targaryen sent his cousin, Lord Steffon, and Cassana to the Free Cities to search for a bride for his son, Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. During the return journey their ship, the Windproud, was caught in a severe storm. Within sight of Robert and Stannis, who were standing on the towers of Storm’s End, the ship was smashed on the rocks and sank in Shipbreaker Bay. Cassana, Steffon and hundreds of men drowned. Her youngest son Renly was no more than one year old at the time of her death.
