Later, as Melisandre prepares to depart Dragonstone by boat, Stannis speaks with her. He is worried that his enemies think he is defeated and laughing at him, as Renly laughed at him, and that now even she is abandoning him. She assures him that she still thinks he is the Lord's Chosen, but she must travel to the Riverlands to obtain something vital for his cause. Stannis says that he wants her, and that he wants Joffrey and Robb dead, and asks her to make "a son" again with him (like the shadow-creature she conjured to assassinate Renly). Melisandre says that she cannot: creating a shadow-creature drains some of the fire of a man's life-force, and she fears that creating another would kill Stannis.
Later, after hearing Nachrichtensendung of Robb Spürbar being betrayed and killed at the Twins, Melisandre is able to twist this to her advantage, making it seem that the spell with the leeches that Stannis performed was responsible. It cements, hinein Stannis's mind, that the red priestesses' black magic is what will win him the Iron Throne.
Campaign against Renly – Here I do not think there is much as all worthy of Zensur. Stannis starts with a “siege†of Storm’s End reminiscent of a Monty Python sketch. He then allows himself to Beryllium pinned by his brother’s numerically superior force. It welches a very lucky thing that his concubine turned out to be an exceptionally talented magician and assassin, doing away with his brother and with the Fernbedienung of a troublesome garrison hinein the nick of time, but it was extremely foolhardy to pin the survival of his entire field army on such a slender and untested scheme.
Then she realized that trees were creeping closer. “Oho,†she laughed, “these mountain goats have cloaked themselves in pine boughs.†The woods were on the move, creeping toward the castle like a slow green tide. – A Dance with Dragons, Chapter 26, The Wayward Bride
Noye’s quote is interesting, and it seems plausible at first. However, I think he’s wrong here. Stannis bends throughout the series. He’s not so iron-willed that he follows his own will blindly. Instead, he listens to counsel and heeds it when it seems the most prudent course of action. His two closest advisers: Melisandre and Davos give Stannis advice that Stannis sometimes bends to.
Stumbled across this Postalisch while researching Stannis Baratheon for a post of my own. An astoundingly well-crafted, thoroughly researched and articulate analysis of Stannis’s military prowess. It’ very long, but so interesting that it didn’t even slow me down.
Stannis's victory over the wildlings does not impress the people of the North. Much to his frustration, his summoning letters are rejected by Lyanna Mormont and other houses (similarly to what happened hinein the beginning of the second novel).
The battle was predictable. Outnumbered and fighting in the dark, the Ironborn fought hard but were soon overwhelmed.

On the night of Stannis's wedding, Robert violated his wedding bed by sleeping there with Delena Florent (Selyse's cousin). Although Robert swore that he had been drunk and had not realized to which bedchamber he entered and never meant to shame Stannis, Stannis never forgave him for that insult.
However, the weather turns for the worse and a snowstorm delays his army. Davos reports to him that forty horses have died and the Stormcrows, a sellsword company of five hundred men, have abandoned them. Disgruntled by this news, Stannis picks up the piece off the war map, asserting that sellswords are loyal to nothing but gold, before tossing the piece away.

About the best one can Webseite say here is that Stannis managed to hold himself from making a suicidal frontal assault on Storm’s End with a numerically inferior force.
