Game Of Thrones: Ranking EVERY Major Death Worst To Best
32. Stannis Baratheon
Death: Killed by Brienne of Tarth (in revenge for the death of Renly Baratheon) after being defeated by the Bolton forces.
It's a huge shame that Stannis' (Stephen Dillane) battle against Ramsay's forces and his subsequent death at Brienne's hands were off-screen, since this undermines the demise of a fairly major character.
Still, Stannis' story ended in a good way: he'd lost his wife, his daughter and everything thanks to his pursuit of the crown, making his story a tragedy about the pursuit of power with a moving, thematically on-point conclusion.
