The Life Of Eddard 'Ned' Stark 

Jamie murdered a Kinsman. Alton Lannister was a harmless, naive kid, Man by age or not. To what end?! Still very new to the lore, but I do know that in the books, it is a different story. I personally am very much of the "only life can pay for life" pro Vendetta crowd. To have Kin murdering Kin is an especially horrific event. Some one in the Family needs to gut him while he is vulnerable, and exclaim "This pays for Alton!" If the guilt over killing his own blood does not cause him to slip into an alcohol, regret, and despair-fueled future suicide, how the F does someone live with attempted murder of a 10 year old boy? Having been dumb enough to try and find out what makes a Human turn into Evil given form, and It seems to takes a pretty unique type to kill a kid. If I remember correctly, former Assassin for hire Richard Kuklinski said, he had a thing about 'nobody under 16' And that was coming from someone who had zero remorse. He claimed to never feel anything, that killing a Human was, to him, killing a bug, James seems to be sleeping quite easily. Lastly, I would not be too quick to think he is headed towards King Jon with any true 'good intent' Would not be surprised to see him try to screw Jon and pals over. He is too far gone, when it comes to Cersei. "No one walks away from me" I think she said. That, and with all the misery his House has caused, I would not welcome him into the Super-friends, and it would cause a dire point of contention, if Tyrion asked for him and the others agreed. It is 0315, I really need to put the pipe away, and get some sleep. P.S. The Actor portraying him seems cool, and has a comedic personality, irl. So nothing against him.

I love the lore please keep it up

Hey my daughter's name is nessa!

Game Of Thronelore at first I thought someone else copied your vid bc I swore I remembered hearing it before, word for word! Then I realized you’re actually just reading of a wiki of Ice and Fire lol. You really should at the very least reference them as the original writers, esp if you’re getting paid for this. It’s not cool getting paid for someone else’s work and no mention or credit to the web page you’re reading off of.

Dat zx te 0:45 c

Many in the kingdom was willing to lend aid to his children because his legacy and name carries so much weight and respect long after his death that people were willing to die for him. Ironically and suitably enough, this was what Tywin wanted for his family but when he dies, everyone either forgets about the man himself or thinks so low of him that people are either relieved or are willing to harm his family now that he is no longer around.

Its crazy how his reputation was still in tacked. This is really amazing because he tarnished his own name by claiming Jon was his bastard child to keep his sisters promise… then he was labeled as a traitor because he found out the truth about King Roberts fake legacy!

Suffering builds character.

"I recall a few chances."

Hamm with2ms they pretty much have said that this won’t happen since we will already know everything that happened in the Rebellion by the time Game of Thrones ends... so that sucks...

YES!!

Since they said everything , that means they can’t make bigger changes

GRRM already stated that everything during Robert's Rebellion will be known by the end of A song of Ice and Fire. Therefore he won't write a series based off it.

@@ThePoliticalMoose i would still see it whether it was surprising or not just to see all this play out in live action

I hated Cersei, but actually felt bad for her during the walk of shame. I hated the faith militant as bad as her and didn’t feel bad for the septa she got revenge on in the end. 🤷‍♀️

Exquisite Elephant yes!! Love this

Game Of Thronelore I’ve been a fan of both of your channels, I’m so happy for your success!

Yes! And he was not in Winterfell gd dmn ned!

Yep, Sean Bean had died on screen almost as many times as Sam L Jackson has used the word M'fker on screen, 🤣 🤣 (probably not but it's close)

I still think he should've stuck up for Jon more as a kid.

What a great father, who send his 16 years old son to jail for lifetime..

@@HTJ733 did you read the first book he really had no choice because kat refused to keep him at winterfell

@@dragansnyder2208 The first book is only book I have read. To put John on the wall has two political reasons. First by taking the black he would lost claim to iron throne as he was the true hair and that could lead to a war. Secondly the night watch is beyond of reach of kings and queens, so Roberth would technically not be able to kill him or officialy order such action. Ned know this and planned to say John the true about his monter once he is in black and these the points apply for him. One way or the other he was just a boy and he gets lifetime in prison.

@@HTJ733- Jon REQUESTED to join the nights watch

Jerome 092 that’s a great insight

And they bought died too early in the story. Why does Sean Bean always die in his roles

"No cure for being a cunt."

I think the darkness was in him if I’m honest

He was evil to the bone.... I'm unsure if anything could've made joffrey a better mammal...

If Joffrey went as a young child, yes, I believe he would have been far different than what he was. It's apparent Joffrey is either a sociopath (sociopaths are made usually due to a traumatic event or a parental figure makes them learn said behaviour) or a psychopath (not all psychopaths are evil, the evil ones are usually made to be that way due to horrific experiences as a child. Most are normal, they do pursue adrenaline filled lives though such as being a CEO etc). Joffrey doesn't fit a psychopath typical traits (intelligence, manipulation, not fearful) but he is more similar to a sociopath. Sociopaths can be changed if they're caught early enough and I fully think Ned would hAve been capable of that. Just my opinion I'm not claiming that this would be the case.

Robert should have married someone else and had legitimate children and then Joffrey could have been evidence of the Lannister's dirty little secret hidden away in Casterly Rock. Then Roberts true children could have been fostered at Winterfell. Win Win

But he couldn't have kept the position with his original character....the lannisters would plot anything and everything to to overthrow him.... I think (jon or Daenerys(the 5,6,7 th season Daenery)) (with Tyrion as his/her hand) would make the best king...

The best King would be honorable to the greatest extent possible, but ruthless to the minimum extent necessary in order to keep justice an honor paramount in the realm. So, Ned w/ Tyrion as hand and Varys for intel might be good.

Exactly why he lost the game.

Joffrey did not deserve that crown

I was looking for this comment. Thank you! 😄 😄 😄

awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Eddard_Stark he’s reading off the wiki lol

@@mclohan okay dick

Very very clever

They read the books

Yes and after falling in love with the books, they asked for the rights to make it into a tv show.

After making the books into a major serious Financial to support the Martin big fantasy five books, the books even sold more, thanks to the show more fans are interested in the books and I am having difficulties in reading the fire and blood first volume? It's a great series made by Martin, with an amazing fanbase.

he definitely did. that is made evident when he had syrio forrell train her. he knew there was something special about her unlike other girls

Pote Tater wow, your comment literally blew me away, I admire your dedication thank you for commenting

Game Of Thronelore thanks man, I really admire your work. when I want to find out anything about the overall lore of the world of Ice & Fire, like the characters, the places, the events etc., yours is the first channel I come to. Much love from northern Idaho, USA! I’m really truly interested in starting my own channel here on RU-vid, because I love the discussions and the joy you get from doing what you do.

Pote Tater He was arguably one of the most honorable characters and in the world and time he lived in was mostly good with little bad in him as far as human beings go, because no one is perfect. That being said, I am not sure how his wife Catelyn Stark felt every time she heard everyone else say how honorable her husband was, that being that in her heart she thought he cheated & brought home another woman’s child for her to raise. I wonder why he never told her the truth, and made her swear to not tell anyone else, things would have been much better & easier for her to live with,made her and Jon have a much better relationship. Did he not trust his wife enough? I mean, I know why he didn’t tell her or anyone, because of the danger that Jon would be in if anyone found out who’s child he really was, but since he lied to his wife about Jon being a basterd, couldn’t he have easily have lied and said it was his sisters child with an unknown man and not Rheager, but that he was going to tell everyone else that Jon was a basterd, at least his wife would have known that Ned didn’t really cheat on her, and she wouldn’t have been so hateful & unloving while having to raise Jon along with her own children. Also, Ned lied to his kids and to everyone else about the near fatal fight outside of the tower of joy, claiming he alone beat & killed the Knight that was the Sword of the Morning, that fought with the sword Dawn ( forgive me, I forget his name at the moment) when really Howland Reed stabbed him from behind, saving Ned from being killed, allowing Ned to deliver the final blow. This was really a lie that gave Ned a huge kill that made many people start to consider him a great swordsman. As well as lying to his best friend, Robert about his basterd son, and keeping from him that his sister was really in love with someone other then him, even allowing Robert to believe that Rheager not only kidnapped but RAPED his sister Lyanna, along with the rest of the world, knowing that was NOT true. I get that he couldn’t TELL Robert that Lyanna and Rheager had a baby and were in love, but he didn’t have to go along with the lie that Rheager raped his sister, it still could have been covered up and kept the truth from being known for reasons of safety because Robert would have probably killed Jon as a baby had he known the truth, but he could have lied about Rheager kidnapping Lyanna,but to allow the lie about him raping her too was a bit much. So ALOT of the honorable Ned Starks life was based on MANY lies. Especially when you think about the people he lied to being people that trusted & loved him & that he loved the most. He let his wife believe, and ultimately she died thinking in her heart that her beloved, honest husband cheated on her and made her raise another woman’s baby. And that gave way for such a hatred to fester and alter Catelyn Starks whole personality & the way she thought and lived. He lied to his children about winning a fight against one of the best known Knights of all time. He lied to his best friend, and to the whole world. So, was he truly honorable to the people he was closest to?.... Just something that has crossed my mind...

Darla•Rae• Dyson• Yes, I believe Ned had many convictions, and I’m sure his mind waged war with itself constantly after being let in on such an important secret. In regards to the battle at the tower of Joy and the defeat of Ser Arthur Dayne who was the Sword of the Morning, I believe Ned never gave the specifics on that battle, he certainly never boasted or anything like that, but he did say that he was the one who killed him, which was true to fact. Ned did deliver the killing blow, however badly he felt about it. In the show you can see the look of confusion & despair on his face as Ser Arthur fell to the ground after Howland struck him, dropping his sword Dawn with a dagger in his back. So the situation wasn’t exactly honorable, but even Arthur Dayne seemed to accept the fate he had been given, however underhanded it was, looking up at Ned as if waiting for him to finish the job. It is said that Ned loved his sister Lyanna with *all* his heart, and throughout the books it’s brought up in his thoughts again and again, the words she said to him as she desperately clung to life, “Promise me Ned.. Promise me. Promise me.”. So we all know the dishonor that comes with breaking a promise, especially a promise from someone you love with *all your heart* , and to have that much love inside you for another person is no small thing. I look at all this as if I was in their place, it’s much easier then because that’s as close as you can get to knowing that character, because however fictional he/she may be, they’re still human, and the best way to know what another human is thinking or doing, or going to do is by putting yourself in their shoes, as opposed to thinking of them in a sort of categorical sense. I believe that if ANY word whatsoever were to be told about what Ned knows of Lyanna & Rhaegar, even if it was just to ease the mind of his wife Catelyn by telling her the child is not his, that would start a chain reaction of questions that lead to more questions, and it would’ve been impossible to stop the truth from coming out, meaning that most likely the seven kingdoms would all be thrown into political chaos & anarchy, which would lead to revolts and rebellions etc... it would’ve probably culminated with the deaths of thousands of innocents, which Ned could never allow, for he had already seen how Roberts Rebellion wreaked chaos & death across the kingdoms, all from a simple lie... a lie that they all thought up on their own when Lyanna & Rhaegar vanished, because it was somehow easier to believe that Rhaegar was just a wretched spawn of the Mad King who stole Lyanna from her home and was torturing her and raping her, instead of thinking that perhaps they had fallen in love with each other, and knowing that no one would accept it they left everyone behind to fulfill that love. Now Robert’s thoughts on the matter were very clear from the books and the show, but the books definitely convey his toxic, unchanging mindset on the matter better. It showed that Ned truly believed in his gut that no matter what truth he revealed to Robert, there would be no change in his mind about what Rhaegar did to Lyanna. In real life, I cannot imagine the amount of seething, broiling hatred & fury that you have to have towards someone or something to actually dream *every* night about sending that someone or something from their existence. Every night he dreamed of killing Rhaegar, over & over again. No matter what truth was revealed to him, in Robert’s mind Lyanna had been ripped away from him, forever gone, leaving a hole within him that all the seven kingdoms couldn’t fill. The fact that Robert had been wed to her in the sight of the Seven and all the gods, showing that he was hers and she was his just adds to the despair & anguish that he must have felt. His rage was a volatile thing, and Ned knew it well. So it seems poor Ned was stuck, given a truly impossible choice which would bring dishonor to him and those he loved either way... he could do the honorable thing and reveal the hard truth about his supposed bastard and his connection to Rhaegar & Lyanna, which would lift the burden of the Lie off his shoulders, but at the same time he would be utterly betraying the final wish and plea of his beloved sister, breaking his promise to her that he would keep Jon(Aegon) safe from Robert’s clutches. He would also be betraying himself in many ways, I imagine if he had revealed the truth it would have torn him apart from the inside.

Pote Tater Yes, it was truly a terrible choice to make & either way a heavy burden to bare. I really loved his character, and was sad that he had to go the way he did under that evil “King” Joffrey. I haven’t read the books yet, I ordered the 1st book, and can’t wait to start as I am sure the books will give a deeper insight to the truest raw thoughts, reasonings and internal feelings of every character in their POV chapters.... HOPEFULLY I can read through all of the books before Season 8 starts, and then GRRM releases his next book. Thanks for your explanation, it made me see Ned’s point of view in a whole different perspective then the one I had first come up with, it makes me see that his honor WAS deeply rooted in his blood.

he needs to fix his editing that long pause was ridiculous.

Giovanny Bonilla that means the world

Ned Stark was very good man and his loyalty kill him .

a couple of people have said this to me..I'm really appreciative of such a kind comment..thank you :)

@@GameOfThronelore it's like listening to an audiobook. I enjoy the content and voice. Very well done

Pyrnicious Alt thank you so much it took 4 8hr days to make, worth it for you all tho

Sean Bean done good work.

Ned would have married the Frey girl though.

@@JoeLouis628 yep I agree...always honor before anything else

What books are you talking about? most fantasy after Tolkien does a good job with dark characters?

only in the tv series... not the books.

GRRM has said that they will also be his parents in the book. It is considered canonical at this point, both in the show and in the books.

@@TheTam0613 until i read it, i aint buying it... an author can say anything, but do it differently in the books.

He ain’t making no more books with his lazy ass. Sad, I love the show but the books were more immersive n the show has outgrown the books who knows what’s next for the the story after the show ends. Hopefully he finishes the books

@@Th3Passerby GRRM said only reason D&D got the rights to make the tv-show, is because they guessed who her mother was correctly. Sorry man, but its Lyanna, since the show is not gonna change it.

And would have won the war. Lost it all for love aka pussy

They needed a reason to kill off such an interesting character Thats why they made robb look stupid when dany gets mad you blame the writers na So why not know Even in case of stannis

Løgan coming soon my friend

E N thers little memories her and there from ned POV and someone Rhee I think in the song of ice and fire but no official book been made about the entirety of it all the story of the tourney and knight of the laughing tre is just conjecture and speculation,,gd tho 😀👍

Omar Biro thank you ,,the white sunburst

not Lannister or Targaryen (feminine/prince handsome) but square jaw, broad shoulders, soldier handsome.

Well Sean bean is a total silver fox sooooooo

Wonho’s soft tiddy breast his brother was the handsome he was just quite

Ned Stark definitely respects tradition and the work that the Night's Watch is performing. Due to the Starks close ties to the Night's Watch Ned also realises that many of their members are from the lower echelon of society. The comment at Yoren is merely a joke directed to the state of the order as it is.

Ned has massive respect for the nights watch alas his brother is first ranger I think it's just a joke between then ned knows how the recruits are found only idiots like Jon wud ask to join without question

In the books his horse was cut out from under him in the fight and they fell with the horse landing on him.

Kristof B wft!!!!!!😂😂in event of his death!! Bit extreme don't u think 😂

Found it on Jon and Daenerys love theme.

Shannon Reynolds but Ned didn't know he had saved kingslanding,as stated in the books he rode the throne room on his horse to find Jamie sitting on the throne with his bloodied blade across his lap and warts dead on the floor ! Basically in his eyes he murdered the king he wa meant to protect and die for then sat on the throne which despoiled it cud he had no right to it and he had an open blade sat across his lap which is a gesture of anyone who enters is like a fuck you sort of situation..I don't think Ned cud believe his own eyes plus he never liked the lannisters and as Jamie says he judged him without asking what actually happened then Jamie gets off the throne and tells Ned ""I was just keeping it warm for you ""lol I suppose Ned cud if taken it for himself all he had to do was take it
