Lyanna Stark
Game of Thrones·House Stark·character in A Song of Ice and Fire
Lyanna Stark is the only daughter of Lord Rickard Stark and the sister of Brandon, Eddard, and Benjen Stark. Betrothed to Robert Baratheon, she was famously crowned queen of love and beauty by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen at the Tourney at Harrenhal.
In the HBO series Game of Thrones, Lyanna is central to the mystery of Jon Snow's parentage, revealed largely through Bran Stark's visions. She secretly wed Rhaegar and died at the Tower of Joy from complications of childbirth, entrusting her newborn son to Eddard and revealing his true name, Aegon Targaryen. Her disappearance helped ignite Robert's Rebellion. Chronology appears in the Timeline.
