Edric was conceived by King Robert I Baratheon and Delena on the wedding night of Lord Stannis Baratheon to Selyse Florent, Delena's cousin, in the couple's wedding bed. Stannis saw this as an insult to his honor, so he sent Edric to Storm's End to foster with the boy's other uncle, Renly Baratheon. Selyse believes that Edric's existence has cursed her to have no sons.
As Delena was a noblewoman, Edric was acknowledged by his father.
