Second, it is simply the wrong bastard surname : "Rivers" is the surname used by bastards in the Riverlands, but Gendry is not from the Riverlands and neither was Robert even if his mother was from the Riverlands it wouldn't make him a Rivers. He would either have used the bastard surname "Waters" as he was born and raised in the Crownlands or the bastard surname "Storm" as his father was from the Stormlands.
Nonetheless, no one ever called him "Gendry Waters", "Gendry Storm" or "Gendry Rivers" before that point - as he wasn't an acknowledged bastard. The line was apparently just in error: reinforcing this is that several major foreign language dubs of the episode outright changed the line. The German dub, for example, changed the line to "Gendry Waters. As such, Game of Thrones Wiki will treat the line a non-canon error: he never had either bastard surname though it's mostly a moot point, given that he's officially renamed "Gendry Baratheon" now.
A possible in-universe explanation is that as a commoner, Gendry himself isn't very familiar with the rules of bastard surnames, and Gendry himself was mistaken.
Gendry's mother worked at an alehouse and died when he was very young. The books haven't specified if Gendry lived in the slums of Flea Bottom before he came to work for Tobho Mott. Logically, though, as the son of a tavern girl he probably wasn't living in good conditions before he began to work for Mott as a teenager.
In the books, Gendry is said to resemble King Robert in his youth so closely that it is blatantly obvious to anyone who knew Robert that he is Robert's son - i. Due to the fact that Renly Baratheon is also said to greatly resemble his older brother Robert in his youth, Gendry also bears a striking resemblance to Renly.
Brienne of Tarth notices this in A Feast for Crows , briefly thinking she sees a ghost. Instinctively she calls him "My lord", to his confusion. Looking at him closely, she notices the youth has Renly's eyes and hair, but not his build, and deduces correctly that he is Robert's son. She is about to tell that to Gendry, but at that moment Rorge 's gang approaches the inn. An unknown person - presumably Varys - paid for his apprenticeship to Mott.
Gendry is in his mid-teens, a powerfully-built and strong lad who shows great promise as a blacksmith. He knows very little about his mother; she worked in an alehouse and died when he was little. She had yellow hair, and sometimes she used to sing to him. He doesn't bear the bastard surname of Waters, traditionally employed in the Crownlands, because he was not openly acknowledged by Robert. So far, Gendry has no idea who is his father. He once told Arya: "I don't even know my father's name.
Some smelly drunk, I'd wager, like the others my mother dragged home from the alehouse. That's all I know of him. Gendry thinks that Robert was "a big fat sot, but a better king than his sons. Gendry was one of the bastards whom Jon Arryn and Stannis Baratheon inquired about.
When asked by Eddard Stark , Gendry mentions that Arryn came to see him, and asked him about his work and his mother. He also remembers that Stannis accompanied Arryn, but did not ask him any questions, only glared at him. In the TV series, Gendry mentions only Arryn. Because Stannis's involvement in Jon Arryn's search for Robert's bastards was cut from the TV series, he never met Gendry - thus when the TV series condensed Gendry with the Edric Storm subplot, Stannis met Gendry for the first time on Dragonstone, when he gruffly grabbed his face and confirmed that he looks just like Robert.
In the books, Stannis already knew what Gendry looked like, but didn't seek him out because he already had Edric though either way, Stannis realized that he was clearly Robert's son as soon as he saw him.
The books clearly explain that it was actually Varys who arranged Gendry's escape from King's Landing in Yoren's caravan, in order to save him from the eventual purge ordered by Queen Cersei in which baby Barra was killed it is not mentioned whether any of Robert's other bastards were killed too.
When discussing Barra's death, Varys tells Tyrion "There was another bastard, a boy, older. I took steps to see him removed from harm's way" - without specifying what steps he took, or why he even bothered to save Gendry.
Yoren told Arya "I was set to leave, wagons bought and loaded, and a man comes with a boy for me, and a purse of coin, and a message, never mind who it's from. Lord Eddard's to take the black, he says to me, wait, he'll be going with you. Why d'you think I was there? Only something went queer. He told the other kids "I never did nothing to no queen Season 3 condensed several subplots from the books by combining Gendry's storyline with that of King Robert's only acknowledged bastard, Edric Storm.
Edric was raised at Storm's End but was taken by Stannis to Dragonstone because Melisandre wanted to sacrifice him to the Lord of Light to ensure victory in the war, but Davos helped him escape. This subplot was instead given to Gendry in the TV series. Robert actually had multiple bastard children in the books, but only Barra is specifically mentioned to be killed after his death.
The other two confirmed surviving bastards are Edric Storm and Mya Stone, a girl slightly older than Gendry whom Robert fathered in the Vale of Arryn a few years before the rebellion against the Targaryens. So far in the books, Gendry remains unaware of his parentage. Gendry formally asked to join the Brotherhood Without Banners in the novels, providing his services as a smith, and in response Lord Beric not only agreed but decided to knight him.
Any knight can dub another man a knight, no matter his standing, albeit it is considered more prestigious to be dubbed by a famous knight or a king. Lowly hedge knights can dub other men as knights, but they would not be very well respected Martin has compared it to the difference between receiving a diploma from a major university like Oxford or Harvard, and getting a diploma from a local community college - both are technically "diplomas".
Beric is not a lowly minor knight, however, but the Lord of House Dondarrion , and though some may point out that he has turned outlaw leader during he war, that falls more into matters of opinion: swearing the vows with Lord Beric technically makes Gendry a knight.
After he is knighted, he is called Ser Gendry of the hollow hill. This didn't happen in the TV version, however, because Gendry was sent away with Melisandre. In the books, Arya describes Gendry as her "only true friend. Although their relationship in the novels is platonic, there are several hints the point towards a romantic relationship.
Arya becomes jealous when Bella, a prostitute, offers to have sex with Gendry, who rejects this offer and ironically, Bella claims to be a bastard of Robert Baratheon herself, which would make her Gendry's half-sister. Gendry also becomes jealous when Edric Dayne shows interest in Arya, which is heightened by their class difference. There is also a love song that only appears once in the series, which is after Arya and Gendry playfully wrestle in the forge.
The TV series didn't overtly play up a full-fledged "romance" between the two, though Gendry becomes one of Arya's few friends and she is pained when he chooses to stay behind with the Brotherhood. Brienne mistakes Gendry for his uncle, Renly Baratheon. Gendry later saves Brienne from Biter by stabbing him from behind with a spear. The three Baratheon brothers were therefore second cousins to the Targaryen siblings - Rhaegar , Viserys , and Daenerys - making Gendry a second cousin once removed of Daenerys.
This might be moved around somewhat in the TV continuity, which removed Aerys II's father Jaehaerys II, who had a brief rule and died young - to simplify his relationship with Aemon. Centuries of heavy inbreeding resulted in every other Targaryen suffering from insanity , but apparently also preserved the ability in their bloodline to interact with dragons and to experience prophetic visions and dreams.
Even Targaryen bastards - called "born of dragonseed" or " Dragonseeds " - were sometimes able to bond with dragons. So far in the books, Gendry hasn't mentioned having prophetic dreams, nor has he had the opportunity to interact with Daenerys's dragons.
Given that Rhaegar and Robert were second cousins in the novels, this makes Jon Snow and Gendry third cousins though again, the TV version apparently condensed this, which would make TV-Gendry a closer relative to both Jon and Daenerys. Of all Robert's bastards, Edric is the only one who has been openly acknowledged by his father, presumably because his mother is highborn in contrast to Mhaegen and the rest of the women who gave birth to Robert's other bastards.
For that reason, Edric uses the special surname "Storm", while Gendry cannot use a special bastard surname which in his case would be either "Waters" or "Storm" , even if he ever becomes aware of his father's identity.
Edric is described as a sturdily attractive youth, with jet-black hair and deep blue eyes. He resembles his father, and has the characteristic hair, eyes, jaw, and cheekbones of House Baratheon, and also the large ears common to House Florent. Those old enough to have known Robert and Renly as children said that Edric had more of their look than Stannis had ever shared. Edric was conceived during Stannis's wedding, at Stannis's wedding bed; although Robert swore that he was drunk, did not know to which bedchamber he entered and meant no offense, Stannis has never forgiven him for that insult.
For that reason, Stannis resents Edric, since the youth's presence is a constant reminder to Stannis of how Robert violated his wedding bed similarly to Catelyn Stark 's feelings toward Jon Snow ; on one occasion Stannis states "I was sick unto death of this wretched boy before he was even born. His very name is a roaring in my ears and a dark cloud upon my soul. Edric has been raised at Storm's End , under Renly 's custody, and had virtually no contact with Robert.
Every year, Edric would receive presents for his nameday : a pony one year, a sable cloak the next, and once even a miniature war hammer similar to the one Robert used.
Edric wrote thank-you letters to Robert for them, but they were actually sent by Varys without Robert's input at all. When reading those letters, Robert would laugh and ask Varys what he sent that year. Edric idolizes his father, thinking of him as an invincible warrior.
During one history lesson with Shireen and Devan Davos 's fifth son , Edric boasts that his father won three battles in one day. Maester Pylos chides Edric that he should not boast, for Robert suffered defeats like any other man, at the Battle of Ashford and many tourneys; Edric insists that his father won more battles than he lost.
Following Renly's death , Stannis captures Storm's End and takes Edric to Dragonstone , initially intending to use him as an evidence that Cersei 's children are not Robert's offsprings.
After the Battle of the Blackwater , Melisandre comes up with the idea to sacrifice the youth, for the purpose of waking stone dragons; Stannis initially rejects her request.
In order to prove to Stannis that there is power in a king's blood, thus prompt him to give her the youth for sacrifice, Melisandre suggests another way - the leech ritual.
In contrast to the show, the blood for the ritual is not taken from Edric by force or by sexual seduction; he has fallen sick, and is given the traditional leeching treatment. After two of the three "false kings" are killed , Melisandre, Selyse, and Axell Florent press Stannis to make the sacrifice. Stannis still refuses, but less firmly than before. Davos begs Stannis to spare Edric; Stannis reveals that he is not thrilled about the sacrifice, but he feels obligated to do that for his subjects.
Davos decides to take action before Joffrey dies, even if it costs his life: he gathers a group of trustworthy people, and once he is informed about the Purple Wedding , he and his accomplices secretly ship Edric away to the Free Cities aboard one of Salladhor Saan 's ships.
When Davos reveals what he has done, Stannis is angry, but not furious; perhaps he is somewhat relieved that the matter was taken from his hands, and Edric is safe. According to the appendix of " A Dance with Dragons ", Edric is currently hiding in Lys with his protectors. Game of Thrones Wiki. Game of Thrones Wiki Explore. Game of Thrones. House of the Dragon.

You know who has dark, almost-black hair? You know who has blond hair? Interesting, but not a lot to go off of, right? Especially when you take the prophecy about Cersei's children into account.
Still, while hair color alone does not a theory make, it wouldn't surprise us if Cersei faked the death of her baby with Robert and sent the child away so that the heir to the Iron Throne would be a child with Jaime's DNA, instead Joffrey comes along not long after. Since we know Cersei and Gendry are going to come face to face in the season seven finale , maybe they'll share a glance that will hint at a shared connection between the two.
If she is his mom, though, that will be quite the curveball for season eight , since there are already enough people competing for the Iron Throne as it is.
If their theory is to be believed, Gendry's mother is none other than. Cersei Lannister! Yes, the Cersei Lannister. Gendry was later sold to the Red Priestess Melisandre in season 3, and she turned out to be the one who confirmed his lineage.
Before Melisandre could sacrifice Gendry for a blood ritual, Ser Davos Seaworth helped save the young man. He returned to King's Landing to continue working as a blacksmith while the rest of House Baratheon crumbled. The character then aligned himself with Jon Snow and House Stark beginning in season 7. As part of the Stark army, Gendry built weapons out of dragonglass while sparking a romantic relationship with Arya.
She also legitimized him as a Baratheon, which he proudly shared with Arya. He claimed that he would no longer be known as "Gendry Rivers" and instead, he will be called "Lord Gendry Baratheon.
Technically, Gendry was from the Crownlands so his surname would have been "Waters" or "Storm" since his father was from the Stormlands. Even if the character used the name Gendry Waters, the title still wouldn't be appropriate. Only bastard children that were acknowledged received special surnames in Game of Thrones lore.
That was why characters like Jon and Ramsay used "Snow" as their surnames - in both cases, their fathers accepted their status as their bastard sons.
