It's never quite clear whether Stannis knew about this. It turns out to be a Cain and Cain situation however, as Renly is assassinated before his vastly superior army can crush Stannis' own. Stannis seems to see it more as his duty as Robert's heir, though Renly acknowledges that Stannis may well have a better claim but he (Renly) has the larger army and was more the aggressor in the situation. Case in point: Renly wants power as king.They both had every intention of killing each other: Renly talking to his men about what to do with Stannis' body and Stannis actually killing Renly. The series' Gray-and-Grey Morality being what it is, though, it's impossible to tell who is the "good" and the "evil" one.

He had suggested to fleet commander Ser Imry that the fleet proceed carefully down the river, sending a few ships ahead to test and scout whatever defenses the city had managed to erect rather than just relying on what they learned from captive fishermen.
