Massacre in the Red Keep

"Kill him! Kill all of them I command it!"

- Lord Janos Slynt to Tyrion Lannister

A massacre in the Red Keep was the result of Lord Eddard Stark's failed attempt to place King Joffrey Baratheon and his family under arrest to ensure the coronation of Robert Baratheon's true heir, his brother Stannis.

Alongside the attacks against the smallfolk of the Riverlands, this was one of the key events in the detonation of the War of the Five Kings.
