Lady Jocelyn Baratheon, daughter of Dowager Queen Alyssa Velaryon and Lord Rogar Baratheon.
A solemn girl, Jocelyn grew to become one of the greatest beauties of the realm. She had been frail as a babe, but by the age of six had become a tall young girl. At the age of sixteen, Jocelyn was an inch short of six feet tall. (F&B, The Long Reign)

[1/20] ASOIAF power couples → Elenei × Durran Godsgrief
The songs said that Storm’s End had been raised in ancient days by Durran, the first Storm King, who had won the love of the fair Elenei, daughter of the sea god and the goddess of the wind.
On the night of their wedding, Elenei had yielded her maidenhood to a mortal’s love and thus doomed herself to a mortal’s death, and her grieving parents had unleashed their wrath and sent the winds and waters to batter down Durran’s hold. His friends and brothers and wedding guests were crushed beneath collapsing walls or blown out to sea, but Elenei sheltered Durran within her arms so he took no harm, and when the dawn came at last he declared war upon the gods and vowed to rebuild.
Five more castles he built, each larger and stronger than the last, only to see them smashed asunder when the gale winds came howling up Shipbreaker Bay, driving great walls of water before them. His lords pleaded with him to build inland; his priests told him he must placate the gods by giving Elenei back to the sea; even his smallfolk begged him to relent. Durran would have none of it. A seventh castle he raised, most massive of all. Some said the children of the forest helped him build it, shaping the stones with magic; others claimed that a small boy told him what he must do, a boy who would grow to be Bran the Builder.
No matter how the tale was told, the end was the same. Though the angry gods threw storm after storm against it, the seventh castle stood defiant, and Durran Godsgrief and fair Elenei dwelled there together until the end of their days.

House Baratheon (A Song of Ice and Fire): It is not a question of wanting. The throne is mine, as Robert's heir. That is law. After me, it must pass to my daughter, unless Selyse should finally give me a son. I am king. Wants do not enter into it. I have a duty to my daughter. To the realm. Even to Robert. He loved me but little, I know, yet he was my brother.

[4/20] ASOIAF power couples → Orys Baratheon × Argella Durrandon
The battle that came to be known as the Last Storm raged well into the night, a bloody business and far less one-sided than Aegon’s conquest of Harrenhal. When finally Orys Baratheon found the old Storm King on the field, Argilac Durrandon was holding off half a dozen men, with as many corpses at his feet. Baratheon dismounted, so as to meet the king on equal footing, and offered the Storm King one last chance to yield. Argilac cursed him instead. And so they fought. Each man took a wound from the other, it was said, but in the end the last of the Durrandon kings got his wish and died with a sword in his hand and a curse on his lips.
For a few days thereafter, it was feared that Storm’s End might suffer the same fate as Harrenhal, for Argilac’s daughter, Argella, barred her gates at the approach of Orys and the Targaryen host, and declared herself the Storm Queen. Rather than bend the knee, the defenders of Storm’s End would die to the last man, she promised when Queen Rhaenys flew Meraxes into the castle to parley. “You may take my castle, but you will win only bones and blood and ashes,” she announced.
But the soldiers of the garrison proved less eager to die. That night they raised a peace banner, threw open the castle gate, and delivered Lady Argella gagged, chained, and naked to Baratheon’s camp. It is said that he unchained her with his own hands, wrapped his cloak around her, poured her wine, and spoke to her gently, telling her of her father’s courage and the manner of his death. And afterward, to honor the fallen king, he took the arms and words of the Durrandons for his own. The crowned stag became his sigil, Storm’s End his seat, and Lady Argella his wife.

[16/20] ASOIAF power couples → Ormund Baratheon × Rhaelle Targaryen
Lord Lyonel Baratheon’s short, bloody rebellion ended only when Ser Duncan of the Kingsguard defeated him in single combat, and King Aegon gave his solemn word that his youngest daughter, Rhaelle, would wed Lord Lyonel’s heir, Ormund. To seal the bargain, Princess Rhaelle was sent to Storm’s End to serve as Lord Lyonel’s cupbearer and companion to his lady wife.
Though Rhaelle had a sharp tongue even as a young girl, the longer she spent within the walls of Storm’s End the more she took to heart the stories of its unflinching Storm Queens of old. By the time she and Ormund wed, many remarked that the words of House Baratheon ought to be changed to Hers Is the Fury, for Princess Rhaelle had grown as willful as her mother and as unyielding as her grandsire. Ormund was her contrary, of a more mild manner and open hand, but he seemed to find her spirit charming and was frequently seen taking her counsel in matters of state. Soon, Rhaelle’s words bore near as much weight as her lord husband’s. This rankled some, but by all accounts she and Lord Ormund were of a mind, often as not, and Storm’s End was prosperous, thus few were wont to raise issue.
[...]
King Jaehaerys had intended to lead the attack upon the Ninepenny Kings himself, but his Hand, Lord Ormund, persuaded him that that would be unwise. The king was unused to the rigors of campaign and not skilled in arms, the Hand pointed out, and it would be folly to risk losing him in battle so soon after the tragedy of Summerhall. Jaehaerys finally allowed himself to be persuaded to remain at King’s Landing with his queen. Command of the host thus was given to Lord Ormund.
In 260 AC, his lordship landed Targaryen armies upon three of the Stepstones, and the War of the Ninepenny Kings turned bloody. Battle raged across the islands and the channels between for most of that year. Lord Ormund was among the casualties, slain by Maelys the Monstrous, and died in the arms of his son and heir, Steffon.
