The Seven Kingdoms are battling with the King in the North, Robb Stark (Richard Madden), who declared independence in the wake of his father's beheading. Joffrey Baratheon's (Raymond Griffiths) uncle, Renly (Gethin Anthony), has claimed the throne with the help of House Tyrell, as he has larger armies. While rulers are eyeing and building conspiracies for the throne, Tyrion Lannister (Paul Teeny McCartan) returns to take the charge in hands, but faces opposition from his sister, Cersei (Lena Headey), who is now the Queen Regent.
