The war following Robert's death is often referred to as the War of the Five Kings. However, I can only think of the following four kings:
- Robb Stark - The King of the North
- Stannis Baratheon - Robert's younger brother and legitimate heir
- Renly Baratheon - The youngest Baratheon who decided to proclaim himself king
- Joffrey Baratheon - Robert's oldest "son" and apparent heir
Who is the fifth king fighting in the War of the Five Kings?
Answer
The Fifth was Balon Greyjoy, Theon's father.
To be more definite, three of the Kings were fighting for the Iron Throne (Joffrey, Stannis, Renly) whereas the other two (Robb and Balon) where fighting for independence.
Robb Stark and Balon Greyjoy attempt to secede their lands from the rule of the Iron Throne, claiming the titles of King in the North and King of the Iron Islands respectively.
