Lady Catelyn Stark, born Catelyn Tully of Riverrun, is the wife of Lord Eddard Stark and mother of his five children, and one of the central characters of Game of Thrones. Daughter of Lord Hoster Tully, she brings the political sensibilities of a great river house to the North.
Following the outbreak of war between the Starks and Lannisters, Catelyn becomes a key counsellor to her son Robb in his campaign as King in the North, driven above all by devotion to her family and the recovery of her captive daughters. She is depicted as intelligent, resolute, and fiercely maternal. This overview summarizes her character; see the Timeline for a chronological account of her arc.
