The Youngest

Barra

The last child Robert fathered, born in King's Landing at the very end.

Portrait of Barra

An infant daughter born to a girl in King's Landing in the final year of Robert's life, named — hopefully, and with no encouragement at all — after the king himself. Her mother appears to have believed the name might count for something.

It counted for nothing. Barra is the youngest name on the baseborn line and the clearest measure of how Robert's reign ended: a king with sixteen natural children by some accounting, a treasury six million in debt, and an infant in the city carrying a version of his name that he would never trouble himself to learn.
