Game Of Thrones: 10 Worst Things The Lannisters Have Ever Done

Sometimes, what seems absurd and wildly old fashioned to the audience, can be utterly normal in the world of Westeros. One such aspect of life for the characters of Game of Thrones is marriage. Those of noble houses generally have no say over who they marry, but are arranged to wed at the behest of their Lords or fathers.

Cersei Lannister, who dreamed of marrying Rheagar Targaryen, was assigned the new King Robert Baratheon as a husband after he took the throne from the Mad King. While this didn't seem like the worst thing in the world initially for the lioness of Casterly Rock, Robert's true colours soon showed.

In love with another, Robert would neglect his wife, and sleep with other women without even trying to hide his actions. It is easy for the audience to feel sympathy towards Cersei when you look at it like this, but murdering your husband, let alone the King of Westeros, is unforgivable.

Particularly when considering that fact that Cersei manipulated her cousin/lover Lancel into doing the dirty work, this act of regicide is a huge black mark on the history of House Lannister.
