They investigated and concluded that the children were not Robert's, but the product of incest between Queen Cersei and her twin brother Ser Jaime Lannister.

Following the defeat of Aerys's forces, Robert reigned as king over all the Seven Kingdoms, securing his power with a political marriage to Cersei of House Lannister.
