Eddard Stark



Eddard "Ned" Stark was the leader of House Stark, Lord of Winterfell, and Warden of the North in the land of Westeros. He was made Hand of the King by his good friend King Robert Baratheon.

After Robert's death, Ned discovered evidence that the king's successor, Joffrey Baratheon, was actually born from a relationship between Queen Cersei and her brother Jaime Lannister. When he accused Joffrey of being illegitimate, he was tried for treason and killed. His death helped spark the War of the Five Kings. After his death, Robb Stark became Lord of Winterfell.
