TV: Game of Thrones

[poopdeville]

Just started season 2. Does anyone know how Stannis knew about Joffrey's birth parents before spreading the word all over the seven kingdoms?

After King Robert's death, and realizing the truth of Joffrey's parentage, Eddard decides to back Stannis as the rightful King. ... Eddard later sends a letter to Stannis at his fortress stronghold of Dragonstone, informing him of the situation.

If you're talking about who I think you're talking about, it's technically, "ding dong the bastard is dead."

Just get caught up already.

Just get caught up already.

Trying to catch up, but I don't want to rush it. I rushed reading the books because they are real page turners, so it's hard to recall a lot of the story just a few years later.

So Ned actually sends the letter to Stannis in the show? Or is that wiki entry citing something from the books? I just can't recall the scene where the letter/raven is sent, though it's a small event.
