12. Shireen Baratheon

The death of Shireen Baratheon was one of the most awful and sad scenes in Game of Thrones. Influenced by the suggestion of Melisandre to burn his own daughter as a sacrifice if he wanted victory, Stannis Baratheon decided to follow the unbelievable command and burn the girl alive while she screamed horribly and begged for mercy. This was a horrific act that not only destroyed Stannis' moral credibility but also brought down the army's loyalty to him.
