Robert still had a sound mind when it came to military matters.
And what for? But he protected the realm when the Greyjoy rebellion flared up, which already makes him better than Bloodraven.
By the same logic, should I be given accolades for the fact that I have never gone on a murderous killing spree? Robert Baratheon, as a young man, possessed the typical talent for warfare and leadership as his brothers, as expected of Robert was considered a very good man at heart, and he ultimately was, but people often couldn't see this because externally he appeared to be a brutal, heavy-drinking party animal. Posts outside the content scope are removed. He organized the marriage with the Lannisters, convinced Dorne not to rebel and generally kept things from completely falling apart. He didn't legitimise bastards which would have led to civil war, which makes him better than Aegon IV. Furthermore, his utter incompetence in managing his own in-laws allowed a state of affairs where his own Kingsguard knight could attack his WotN in the streets, and Tywin could launch a full-scale invasion of the Riverlands and expect to get away with it without serious repercussions.If Robert was truly a good man who took his kingly duties seriously, none of the above would have happened.He's a wife beater, a marital rapist, a child beater, neglectful father, attempted to murder a pregnant woman, and his laziness and idleness led to a continent-wide war that ruined the life of millions.No, he was not a good man. Be legal and respectful to others. In addition to this, Robert had a deep personal love for Lyanna Stark, Ned's sister, and often lamented about her death, but this lamenting often gave way to Robert intensely tirading about his hatred for the Targaryens - he called Rhaegar Targaryen a monster and scorned him as he believed that he had raped Lyanna, and even after he had vanquished Rhaegar on the Trident, his brutal hatred of the surviving Targaryens.
Good deeds need to outweigh the bad deeds for someone to be considered 'good' and in my book, Robert fails on that account.
It was the pesky Lannisters that ruined everything, aided to some extent by Ned's naivety, Littlefinger, and the bickering between Stannis and Renly.

Since he did not have a particular fondness or relationship with either one of his actual brothers, he considered the Stark lord a surrogate brother.
He can't do the same with his wife, she lives with him and she knows him for his true self so that illusion can't work her....so he doesn't bother at all...I’ve always thought about the part with Robert abusing Cersei, when he doesn’t seem to be abusive to any other woman we know of...he usually acts quite the opposite.Is it just because Cersei is a piece of shit? Robert Baratheon was a Westerosi noble - trained and raised as a ruler in a powerful house.
Well-played.Robert Baratheon knows good and damn well what a fuck-up he is as a king. Robert's failure as a king is the most profound of all, because he KNOWS what he needs to do, he knows what the stakes are, and he fucks off and gets drunk instead.
Good question. He only appears in the first book of the series A Game of Thrones, though is mentioned numerous times in the later books by characters such as Cersei Lannister.. A Game of Thrones He yelled at the top of his voice, obviously drunk. Robert has no excuse other than being a lazy, irresponsible sack of goat droppings.After the rebellion, Jon Arryn goes to a helluva lot of trouble to stitch the realm back together again. Ned was the only person who could genuinely counsel Robert on any subject, and the only person he appeared to want to listen to, since he seemed extremely impatient with anybody else, especially his wife (something he didn't make any attempt to hide).
It only took me a few seconds to realise that this man was my 'father' King Robert Baratheon. Robert, a great warrior and charismatic man in his youth, took the throne through conquest in the war known as Robert's Rebellion, which began when the Prince of Dragonstone, Rhaegar Targaryen, all… If I die and leave my family bankrupt and they are eaten by wolves, I'm not a "good father" because all the bad stuff happened after I died.Robert doesn't get a pass because all the shit came down after he died. He was strong and powerful, and muscled \"like a maiden's fantasy.\" However, after he won the Iron Throne, Robert's appearance …
