10 Worst Kings In Game Of Thrones

Kings come in all shapes and sizes, cruel or kind, cunning or clueless. A little ring of metal jammed onto a king's head and a dash of blood in the veins is all that separates him from the next man as he sits on the throne waiting to die in some brutal fashion, far sooner than he should expect to be taken. The entire foundation of Game of Thrones revolves around a relentless hunger for power, leading to countless self-styled kings on top of those who have actually sat on the Iron Throne and let's face it, almost all of them are completely useless. You've got kings who will kill a man for simply existing, you've got kings too engrossed in partying to realise there's an army about to decimate the city, and you've got kings who simply don't do anything. Everyone has their favourite candidates for the Iron Throne, but if they're even remotely likeable, you might as well tick them off your list immediately. They'll never earn their place on Westeros' most overrated, uncomfortable chair. So here we have a rundown of some kings who simply weren't good enough, whether that means they're cruel, cowardly, or simply idiotic. You'll mainly find kings and kings-to-be from the show, but some of the old Targaryen rabble had to make the cut.
