In the books

According to the TV series continuity, the Mad King Aerys II succeeded his father King Aegon V, while the book series continuity adds a generation. King Aerys II's father was King Jaehaerys II, second son of King Aegon V. As per the prop of the book The Lineages and Histories of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms, Lyonel Baratheon married Rhaelle Targaryen (rather than Ormund marrying her as in the book series).

Ormund was the heir of Lord Lyonel Baratheon, who rebelled against the Iron Throne and declared himself Storm King upon King Aegon V's eldest son and heir Prince Duncan Targaryen spurning his betrothal to Lyonel's daughter by eloping with Jenny of Oldstones. The rebellion only ended when Ormund himself was betrothed to the King's daughter Princess Rhaelle Targaryen. Ormund later became Hand of the King to Princess Rhaelle's brother King Jaehaerys II. When the threat of Maelys Blackfyre became apparent, Jaehaerys II sent a large force to defeat him at the Stepstones, and was willing to take command himself. However, Lord Ormund dissuaded him and took command instead.

While fighting at the Stepstones at the head of the royal forces, Ormund was killed by Maelys and died in the arms of his and Princess Rhaelle's son, Steffon. Command of the royal forces passed to Ser Gerold Hightower, Lord Commander of the Kingsguard.
