Game of Thrones Family Tree — Targaryen, Stark, Lannister & Baratheon

The four bloodlines

Each house answers a different question. The Targaryens explain legitimacy and dragonpower. The Starks explain oath, memory and the cost of honour. The Lannisters explain debt, twins and the price of a name. The Baratheons explain how a crown can be borrowed, taken and lost. Four networks keep each line readable; the hub lets you move between them.

The Targaryen line

Aegon I, his sister-wives Visenya and Rhaenys, and the three dragons that made a continent obey one crown. The line runs through Aenys and Maegor, Jaehaerys and Alysanne, the Great Council of 101, Viserys I, Rhaenyra and the Dance of the Dragons, then through the last Targaryen kings to Aerys II, Rhaella and Daenerys Stormborn. 25 nodes, 36 edges, every one sourced to Fire & Blood or The World of Ice & Fire.

The Stark line

Rickard Stark’s children — Brandon, Eddard, Lyanna and Benjen — and the generation after them: Robb, Sansa, Arya, Bran and Rickon. Jon Snow enters the graph as Ned’s acknowledged bastard; the books leave his parentage unresolved, so the network does not assert the show’s answer. 12 nodes, 31 edges, sourced to A Game of Thrones and A Storm of Swords.

The Lannister line

Tytos Lannister’s children — Tywin, Kevan and Genna — and the generation that follows: Cersei, Jaime and Tyrion. Tywin and Joanna’s marriage produces the twins and the dwarf; Cersei’s marriage to Robert produces Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen, whose Baratheon name hides their parentage. 12 nodes, 23 edges, sourced to A Game of Thrones and A Storm of Swords.

The Baratheon line

Orys Baratheon, Aegon’s half-brother and the first Lord of Storm’s End, through the generations to Steffon and Cassana’s sons: Robert, Stannis and Renly. Robert’s marriage to Cersei, Stannis’s marriage to Selyse and their daughter Shireen; the Velaryon inset connects the Baratheon claim back to the Targaryen line through Rhaenys and Corlys. 18 nodes, 26 edges, sourced to The World of Ice & Fire and A Clash of Kings.

Why a network instead of a poster

• The relations are data, not drawing.Every edge is an explicit pair in the page data, with a book source. The lines cannot drift to the wrong person — which is exactly what happens when an image model is asked to draw a family tree.
• Switch the view.The whole bloodline, the Dance, the conquest or the last dragon — each view is a filter over the same graph, not a separate illustration.
• Click a face.Each portrait opens the character, their titles, their book age and the relations around them.
• It works on a phone.Nodes stay tappable, labels reflow, and the graph zooms without losing the lines.

Questions

• Is this canon? The relations follow the books first. Where the show invents or outruns the page — Daenerys burning King’s Landing, Jon’s parentage being confirmed — the difference is labelled show-only.
• Why are there four networks? A single graph with every character becomes unreadable. Four houses keep each line legible and answer four different search intents: Targaryen, Stark, Lannister and Baratheon.
• Can I see the whole tree at once? Yes. The hub links all four networks, and the poster gives a seven-face overview with nine explicit edges.
• Can I make one for another family? Yes. The same format takes any world with named characters and canon relations, and builds the nodes, edges and portraits from that data.

Built with four Neta skills

Every layer on this page comes from a named skill: relationship-network draws the four interactive graphs, character-relationship-poster composes the poster, character-profile-card renders the seven cards, and character-design-sheet produces the five turnaround sheets.
