House Stark is one of the Great Houses of Westeros. They reign over the biggest kingdom of Westeros, the North, and their seat is located in Winterfell. The sigil of House Stark is a grey direwolf on a white background over a green blazon and their words are ‘Winter is Coming.’
The members of House Stark at the beginning of the show were:
- Lord Eddard ‘Ned’ Stark. He was the Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North. King Robert Baratheon named him Hand of the King during his reign and, before he died, Lord Regent of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm before for Joffrey I. However his duty towards the realm did not last long, as King Joffrey Baratheon had him executed at the end of Season 1 under a false charge of treason, because Ned refused to swear his allegiance to Joffrey. Ned was sure that Joffrey was not the rightful heir to the throne, as he was not son of Robert but of Cersei and her brother Jaime Lannister.
