"Ours Is The Fury. These are the words of the black stag of Baratheon; a battle cry echoed throughout the land in rebellion when I, Robert Baratheon, the First of His Name seized the Iron Throne from the Mad King, Aerys Targaryen, ending a dynasty nearly three-hundred years old."
―Robert Baratheon
House Baratheon of Storm's End is a Great House of Westeros that traditionally rules the Stormlands on the eastern coast of Westeros, aptly named for its frequent storms.
House Baratheon became the royal house of the Seven Kingdoms (as House Baratheon of King's Landing) after Robert Baratheon led a rebellion against the Targaryen dynasty. At the end of the rebellion, Robert ascended the Iron Throne as Robert I and married Cersei Lannister after the death of Lyanna Stark.
House Baratheon became officially extinct after the deaths of Stannis Baratheon and his family, but was revived when Robert's last known bastard was legitimized by Queen Daenerys Targaryen as Gendry Baratheon.
House Baratheon's sigil is a crowned black stag on a gold field and their house words are "Ours is the Fury."
Background
House Baratheon was founded by Orys Baratheon, a general in the army of King Aegon I Targaryen, the founder of the Targaryen dynasty who conquered the Seven Kingdoms. Orys Baratheon was also rumored to be Aegon's bastard half-brother. He defeated Argilac the Arrogant, the last of the Storm Kings, and captured his castle of Storm's End. For his accomplishments, Orys was made Lord of Storm's End and founded House Baratheon. Orys took the sigil and words of the defeated House Durrandon as his own, cementing his rule over the Stormlands by marrying Argella Durrandon, the daughter of the fallen Argilac. Robert Baratheon led a rebellion against King Aerys II Targaryen, resulting in the overthrowing of the Targaryens. Robert became the new king; Renly became Lord Paramount of the Stormlands, ruling the Stormlands from Storm's End; Stannis formed the cadet branch House Baratheon of Dragonstone.
Game of Thrones: Season 1
Robert Baratheon travels to Winterfell to ask his old friend Eddard Stark to serve as the new Hand of the King. Robert also seeks to unite Houses Baratheon and Stark once and for all by marrying Sansa to his eldest "son" and heir Joffrey. Ned deduces that Robert's children with Cersei are actually bastards born of incest between Cersei and Jaime; he sends a message to Stannis, informing him of this, as he has been revealed to be the rightful heir to the throne. Robert is mortally wounded during a hunt. Following his death and Ned's execution, the War of the Five Kings begins.
Game of Thrones: Season 2
Both Stannis and Renly Baratheon declares themselves the rightful kings. Following the unsuccessful parley between them, Renly is killed by a shadow. The Tyrells form an alliance with the Lannisters. Stannis is defeated by the combined Lannister-Tyrell army at the Battle of the Blackwater.

House Baratheon men-at-arms are equipped with long padded beige gambesons and nasal helmets with stag crests, and they carry triangular shields. Other men-at-arms have kettle steel helmets instead of nasal helmets, and some are often seen wearing pauldrons and gorgets as well.
Wealthier Baratheon soldiers, or knights from the Stormlands in general, equip themselves with plate armor parts and helmets with brims and cheek guards. Renly himself, while campaigning, wears a much more expensive version of this armor, with the addition of a brigandine cuirass. Baratheon soldiers from Dragonstone, in contrast, protect themselves with grey mail and plate armor alongside tear drop shields; their grey helmets, however, are similar to those of the Stormlanders.
Stormlanders are known for being brave and hardy warriors, as exemplified by the Baratheons. In Robert's Rebellion and Greyjoy Rebellion, House Baratheon plays an incredibly significant part, since in both wars Robert Baratheon is leading his side to victory.
In the beginning of the War of the Five Kings, Renly assembles troops of both the Stormlands and the Reach, a total of about 100,000 men. After his assassination, many of the Stormlords and at least two houses of the Reach (House Florent and House Fossoway) join Stannis. Stannis's forces number at least 10,000 before the Battle of the Blackwater, and there are presumably more troops, left to guard Stannis's castles while most of his troops attack the capital, resulting in the Battle of the Blackwater.

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Orys Baratheon was the rumored bastard half-brother of King Aegon I Targaryen, the conqueror of the Seven Kingdoms. Orys led an army which slew the last of the Storm Kings, Argilac the Arrogant, and captured his castle of Storm's End. For his loyal service, Orys was made a lord and allowed to found his own Great House, marrying the daughter of Argilac and taking his sigil and words for his own. At just under 300 years, this makes House Baratheon the youngest by far of the Great Houses.
House Baratheon has ruled over the tempest-wracked southeastern shores of Westeros, the area known as the Stormlands, ever since. It has produced a number of great and notable warriors, such as Ser Lyonel Baratheon, the Laughing Storm, and married into the royal House Targaryen several generations ago.
When Robert Baratheon's betrothed, Lyanna Stark, was kidnapped by Rhaegar Targaryen, he was enraged and raised his banners in rebellion against King Aerys II, along with Lyanna's brother (and Robert's best friend) Eddard Stark. They were joined by several other houses in a civil war known as Robert's Rebellion. Robert's army smashed the royal host at the Battle of the Trident and put it to rout. The treachery of House Lannister delivered the capital at King's Landing to Robert. With Lyanna killed during the war, Robert agreed to marry Cersei Lannister in gratitude for her father's pledge of fealty.
Robert became King and gave his brother Stannis (one year younger than him) Dragonstone, the ancestral island stronghold of the Targaryens, and his youngest brother Renly (fifteen years younger) the familial seat at Storm's End.
In a very minor difference to the books, after crowning himself King, Renly doesn't alter the colors of the Baratheon sigil. However, he wears a golden stag on green, though not as an official personal sigil.
Following the death of Robert and Renly, the only surviving members of House Baratheon are Stannis, his wife, and his daughter Shireen. No mention has been made in the five current novels of any surviving cousins, who might make claim to rule of House Baratheon. Robert is rumored to have fathered over a dozen bastards, but they are not considered legitimate heirs. Robert does have one acknowledged bastard, Edric Storm, whom he acknowledged because his mother was a member of the nobility. Robert had no part in raising him, instead sending him to foster at Storm's End.
