Joffrey Baratheon (sæson 1-4), portrætteret af Jack Gleeson. Joffrey Baratheon af huset Baratheon er kronprins af De Syv Kongeriger. Han er den ældste af Cersei Lannisters børn og arving til Jerntronen. Han er ondskabsfuld og grusom, har et kort temperament og tror, at han kan gøre alt, hvad han vil. Han er også en kujon, når han konfronteres med dem, der ikke er bange for ham. Joffrey er også uvidende om, at kong Robert ikke er hans rigtige far - som i virkeligheden er Jaime Lannister. Efter Roberts død gør Lannisterne Joffrey til konge mod sin fars vilje, og Joffrey bliver en grusom hersker og en marionetkonge, der bruges af sin mor. Joffrey begår en fejl, da han mod Cerseis og Sansas ønske nægter at overholde sit løfte om at skåne Ned; i stedet lader Joffrey ham henrette. Hans handling forværrer situationen med Lannisternes krigsindsats, da Jaime er taget til fange af Starks, og hans onkler Renly og Stannis har udfordret hans krav på Jerntronen. Han beordrer ofte sin kongegarde til at slå Sansa. Hans grusomhed og uvidenhed om borgernes lidelser gør ham upopulær, efter at han beordrer byvagten til at dræbe alle sin fars uægte børn i King's Landing, hvilket senere fører til et oprør, hvor han næsten bliver dræbt. Da Stannis angriber King's Landing, tjener Joffrey kun som galionsfigur og undgår de hårde kampe. Da slaget til sidst vender i Stannis' favør, kalder Cersei sin søn ind i slottets sikkerhed, hvilket skader hans hærs moral. Slaget vindes kun af hans bedstefar Tywin og hus Tyrells styrker. For at cementere alliancen mellem deres familier annulleres Joffreys forlovelse med Sansa, så han kan gifte sig med Margaery Tyrell. Ved slutningen af sæson 3 er ægteskabet endnu ikke blevet indgået, og der er voksende kløfter mellem Joffrey og hans onkel og bedstefar, som (på hver deres måde) modarbejder hans grusomhed. Han synes også at interessere sig lidt for sin brud, men er forbløffet og forandret over hendes måder at vinde folkets gunst på, som han deltager i. I sæson 4 gifter Joffrey sig endelig med Margaery, men han dør ved brylluppet efter at være blevet forgiftet, og hans onkel Tyrion bliver anklaget og arresteret. Det bekræftes dog, at han blev forgiftet af Olenna Tyrell med hjælp fra Petyr Baelish og Dontos Hollard, da hun ønskede at beskytte Margaery mod de fysiske og følelsesmæssige overgreb, som Joffrey meget tydeligt havde påført Sansa. Olenna betroede senere Margaery, at hun aldrig ville have ladet hende gifte sig med "det bæst". Efter Joffreys begravelse bliver hans yngre bror og arving, Tommen, kronet til konge.

Joffrey Baratheon (season 1–4) portrayed by Jack Gleeson. Joffrey Baratheon of House Baratheon is the Crown Prince of the Seven Kingdoms. He is the eldest of Cersei Lannister's children and heir to the Iron Throne. Vicious and cruel, he has a short temper and believes he can do anything he wants. He is also a coward when confronted by those who aren't afraid of him. Joffrey is also unaware that King Robert is not his real father – who, in reality, is Jaime Lannister. After Robert's death, the Lannisters make Joffrey the King against his father's will, and Joffrey becomes a cruel ruler and a Puppet King used by his mother. Joffrey makes a mistake when, against Cersei's and Sansa's wishes, he refuses to honor his promise of sparing Ned; instead, Joffrey has him executed. His act worsens the situation with the Lannisters' war effort as Jaime is captured by the Starks and his uncles Renly and Stannis have challenged his claim to the Iron Throne. He frequently orders his Kingsguard to beat Sansa. His cruelty and ignorance of the commoners' suffering makes him unpopular after he orders the City Watch to kill all of his father's bastard children in King's Landing which would later lead to a riot where he is almost killed. When Stannis attacks King's Landing, Joffrey serves only as a figurehead and avoids the heavy fighting. When the battle eventually turns in Stannis' favor, Cersei calls her son into the safety of the castle, damaging the morale of his army. The battle is only won by his grandfather Tywin and the forces of House Tyrell. To cement the alliance between their families, Joffrey's engagement to Sansa is annulled so he can marry Margaery Tyrell. Upon the end of Season 3, the marriage is yet to take place, and rifts are growing between Joffrey and his uncle and grandfather, who are (in their respective ways) rebutting his cruelty. He also seems to take little interest in his bride, but is amazed and altered by her ways of winning the people's favor, in which he takes part. In Season 4, Joffrey finally marries Margaery, but he dies at the wedding after being poisoned, and his uncle Tyrion is accused and arrested. It is confirmed, however, he was poisoned by Olenna Tyrell, with assistance from Petyr Baelish and Dontos Hollard, as she wanted to protect Margaery from the physical and emotional abuse that Joffrey had very clearly inflicted on Sansa. Olenna later confides to Margaery that she would never have let her marry "that beast". Following Joffrey's funeral, his younger brother and heir, Tommen, is crowned King.
