Where to start? Joffrey has become the focus of much hate by fans of the television series, who have yet to be exposed to most the evils committed by the other entrants on this list Gregor is only a minor supporting character on screen whilst Cersei, as previously mentioned, is potrayed in a more sympathetic manner (indeed her ordered killings of Roberts bastards from the books are actually ordered by Joffrey on screen). Fans of the books dont exactly sing his praises, either. As a child, he bullied his younger brother Tommen and murdered a pregnant cat out of intrigue, whilst as a teenager in A Game of Thrones; his true colours quickly come to light soon after his betrothal to Sansa Stark. He orders the death of a young boy, Mycah, in Darry, has an assassin attempt to kill the crippled Bran Stark (though this is not revealed until A Storm of Swords) and most notably orders the execution of Eddard Stark for treason, an action that even his mother Cersei (despite her being just as vile of an individual) advises him against. Nevertheless, he goes through with it, and the War of the Five Kings, of which he is one following the death of his supposed father Robert, goes into overdrive as a result. Sansa, now a captive of the crown, is traumatised by her fathers death, yet Joffrey uses his severed head to torment her, and she becomes the favourite target of his cruelty throughout A Clash of Kings. He has his Kingsguard regularly strip and beat the young girl for his amusement, something that all of the supposed knights bar Arys Oakheart have no objection to doing. Though kept in line on other matters by his uncle Tyrion during this period, Joffrey nevertheless manages to spark a riot by mocking the plight of his subjects, something that results in a number of deaths. In a Storm of Swords, he continues to victimise Sansa despite being made to cast her aside in order to become betrothed to Margaery Tyrell. Tyrion, stripped of his powers, also receives payback for standing up to the young tyrant, which makes him the primary suspect when Joffrey is poisoned and dies at his own wedding feast, to be mourned by nobody.
