305 AC - Gerold Baratheon is born to Lady Shireen Baratheon and Ser Devan Seaworth. Maester Cressen is relieved that the child did not procure greyscale as his mother had as an infant.

308 AC - Young Gerold becomes captivated with hearing the tales of Stannis Baratheon from his mother, as well as his other grandfather Davos Seaworth. His favourite is the story of how Stannis led his vassals in the "Siege of King's Landing" which occurred nearly a decade ago.

310 AC - Without a doubt Gerold develops a crush on his mother's lady-in-waiting, Myrcella Waters - a woman who once was a Princess. The Heir to Dragonstone refuses to go anywhere without the lady accompanying him.

312 AC - A sister is born to Gerold, whom his mother names Arianne. Young Gerold quickly takes a liking to his sibling to which he gives the nickname "Little Ari."

314 AC - Gerold begins to squire under his uncle Ser Steffon Seaworth, and travels across the Stormlands and Crownlands attending various feasts and local tournaments.

320 AC - A small feast and joust is held in Duskendale on behalf of the Lord's newest marriage. At the age of fifteen Gerold won this event using Ser Steffon's horse and armor - the knight himself had been passed out in a bush from too much drink.

322 AC - A newly crafted suit of armor is gifted to Gerold from his father as a congratulations upon receiving a knighthood from his uncle.

Early 325 AC - News of his sister's death reaches Gerold who was in Storm's End at the time she took fever. Upon hearing the tale he returns to Dragonstone and grieves the loss of his sister along with Lady Shireen and Ser Devan.

Mid 325 AC - Now the sole child of Shireen, Gerold's father insisted upon the arrangement of a marriage in order to secure the Dragonstone branch of Baratheon. It would be Lord Hoster Tully who would heed the call, and offer his daughter Minisa. The two would be married upon the year's end.

326 AC - Dragonstone celebrates the birth of Gerold and Minisa's newborn baby boy Davos Baratheon. A tournament is held in their honor with a hefty boon promised to the victor. Ser Garrison Trant would be victorious, and for his boon he requests Davos be betrothed to his own newborn daughter Merrell. The boon is given.

328 AC - Minisa becomes pregnant once more with Gerold's seed and would give birth to their second son Jon later in the year while he is attending court in King's Landing, at the behalf of Lady Shireen.

333 AC - Once more Minisa bears Gerold's child in her womb and once more he is away for the birth - this time performing business in the Westerlands for King Raymont Baratheon, which would ultimately lead to the squireship of Davos Baratheon under Ser Damon Prestor. Their third child would also be a boy whom Minisa would name Addam.

338 AC - A day of grieving befalls upon Dragonstone as Lady Shireen's husband and Gerold's own father Devan perishes off the coast in a storm. This son of a smuggler-turned lord – the one they called the Onion Knight, would cause tears to be shed throughout the island for months to come.

340 AC - Since the death of his father Gerold takes a much larger role in the management of Dragonstone - experience that would not be wasted in the slightest as Lady Shireen would be found one morning having passed peacefully in her sleep. Gerold takes over the Lordship of Dragonstone.

343 AC - Minisa Tully gives birth to Gerold's first and only daughter Argella, the same year his son Addam is sent to squire under Ser Ilyn Bar Emmon. Gerold is present for his daughter's birth and was said to have wept uncontrollably upon the sight of her beauty.

344 AC - At the age of eight and ten, Gerold's eldest son and heir Davos is wed to Merrell Trant - a result of her father winning a grand boon at the Tournament of Davos' Birth. It is a grand celebration and many a baudy jokes are made as the now married pair are stripped in the bedding ceremony.

347 AC - Gerold receives word that his third son Addam has taken fancy to a girl on the mainland under House Chyttering, one named Myranda. Upon the discovery of such news he eagerly writes to the Lord to present a proposal to see the two betrothed, to which House Chyttering eagerly accepts.

350 AC - Dragonstone erupts in joy upon hearing that Merrell Trant has grown pregnant with Davos Baratheon's child. News which is quickly overshadowed as his brother Jon is found bending a scullery maid over a table and would soon carry a child of her own. The children Cortnay Baratheon and Hugo Waters would be born respectively by the year's end.

Early 353 AC - A Targaryen spy is discovered within Dragonstone, which reveals the upcoming invasion across the Narrow Sea. With haste Gerold writes to King's Landing to inform the King and sends a ship to the capital that would carry most of his family to safety. Among them would be Merrell Trant, her newborn Cortnay Baratheon, Jon's scullery maid mistress Carellen and her bastard Hugo Waters, the young Addam Baratheon and his betrothed Myranda Chyttering and the sole daughter of Minisa and Gerold - Argella. Stubbornly, Minisa herself as well as Davos and Jon decide to stay upon Dragonstone and aid in its defense.

Mid 353 - The defense of Dragonstone was a failure resulting in its capture and the death of Gerold's eldest son Davos, whom was burned alive by the Targaryen's dragon. Gerold, Minisa and Jon are held captive within their own home for the remainder of the Targaryen Invasion under the watchful eye of Ser Arlan Cole.

Late 353 - During the Recapturing of Dragonstone led by Lord Horas Baratheon, Gerold himself seizes the opportunity during supper and kills his captor Ser Arlan Cole with a dinner fork and his own glass eye. Unfortunately despite the success of the Stormland Forces, the Lord of Storm's End perishes in the assault.

356 AC - Having now returned to Dragonstone, Ser Addam Baratheon and Myranda Chyttering are finally wed, and would give birth to Gerold's second grandson Roger later in the year.

359 AC - Once again Myranda Chyttering bears Ser Addam a child - this time a girl named Emberlei. Gerold would also arrange the fatherless but ever eager Cortnay Baratheon and the bastard Hugo Waters a squireship to a Knight of the Kingsguard.

362 AC - Gerold's third son Addam is asked to accompany Prince Edric II on a tour of Westeros, to which he happily accepts. Together with a large company of young men, they would travel across the Kingdoms from the Wall to Dorne participating in local tournaments and wooing the ladies of the realm.

365 AC - The sole daughter of the Lord of Dragonstone - Argella Baratheon, is wed to Gerold's trusted vassal Lord Jacaerys Celtigar in a grand celebration upon Dragonstone. Cortnay Baratheon would also receive his knighthood at the age of five and ten at the event.

368 AC - Upon the sudden availability of the King's Hand, Gerold is offered the position by King Edric II. Much to his surprise Gerold refuses the position and instead offers his counsel to the King without the prestigious title. In his place, he recommends his own vassal and now son-in-law Lord Jacaerys Celtigar to claim the position. Hugo Waters would also be knighted at eight and ten.

370 AC - Upon news reaching Dragonstone of the birth of Prince Robert Baratheon, Gerold travels to King's Landing with his son Ser Addam and his family family and his grandsons Ser Cortnay and Ser Hugo. Jon Baratheon would remain in his stead upon Dragonstone.
