Lord Eddard Stark, known as Ned, is the head of House Stark, Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North, and one of the central figures of the first season of HBO's Game of Thrones. A close friend of King Robert Baratheon, he reluctantly accepts the office of Hand of the King.
Honorable to a fault, Eddard uncovers the truth of Queen Cersei's children; his execution in King's Landing sparks the War of the Five Kings and reverberates through the fate of Westeros. This overview summarizes source material from the Game of Thrones Wiki; a chronological account is available in the Timeline.
