Among the many despised characters in “Game of Thrones,” Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon) often takes the top spot. However, there’s another character who gives him a tough competition when it comes to being detested: Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson).
As a gamer, let me tell you, I can’t find a single likeable trait in this young king character. He takes pleasure in causing pain to others. Remember that scene where he made Sansa Stark watch her father’s (Sean Bean) beheaded corpse? Or when he tormented his uncle Tyrion Lannister? This guy goes out of his way to turn the lives of those around him into a waking nightmare. The only person he seems polite towards is Margaery Tyrell, but even her grandmother, Olenna Tyrell, knows full well that this king has a twisted, sadistic side.
Beyond his mother Cersei Lannister (played by Lena Headey), Joffrey is detested by nearly everyone. Not even his loyal Kingsguard member, Sandor Clegane, known as The Hound (Rory McCann), can hide his disdain for the king when he abandons his duties during battle. Given the multitude of adversaries, it’s hardly shocking that Joffrey meets an untimely end. Yet, there’s a certain level of gratification in witnessing such a death, one that was both memorable and well-deserved on “Game of Thrones.
Joffrey dies in Season 4, Episode 2
In Season 4 of “Game of Thrones,” Joffrey remains just as vile as before. However, in Season 2 of “House of the Dragon,” King Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) appears to be even more detestable than him. Despite marrying Margaery in Episode 2 (“The Lion and the Rose”), Aegon’s personality doesn’t improve. The wedding celebration, far from being joyous, is tense. Joffrey takes the opportunity to hurl insults at Sansa and Tyrion, demanding that Tyrion serve as his cupbearer and continuously refill his wine.
Following the filling and a sip of his cup, Joffrey starts to cough violently, falling unconscious on the floor, gasping for air. Cersei and Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), alarmed, hurry over to him. As they do, Joffrey’s complexion becomes a ghastly purple shade and blood spurts from his nostrils. Just before his final breath, he gazes at Tyrion in horror, who stands frozen with the now empty cup that he had just filled.
Straight away, Tyrion is taken into custody, as he seems to be the prime suspect given the circumstances. Yet, as the story unfolds in the series, it comes to light that Lady Olenna, collaborating with Petyr Baelish (Aidan Gillen), covertly tainted Joffrey’s drink, intending to spare her granddaughter from a future of suffering.
