"And the Mad King choose fire as his champion." What!! How come nobody other than the Mad King has done that?! Tyrion: I demand a trial by combat. Lysa Arryn: I choose gravity as my champion.
Likely because it isn't really fair,unless they are given something to counter it like water or a platform. The idea of a trial by combat is to bring the gods into it via two champions who ideally would be on equal standing.Idea and practice have a strange relationship but even if a squire fights an experienced knight there is a chance in seven hells that a sword is well placed and somehow the squire gains the upper hand, then obviously the gods have chosen the champion's cause was in the right.
I love how George Martin keeps his characters' personalities true to their in universe nicknames. There was a lot of Ned Stark actions that showed you he was the quiet wolf in many perspectives. Another example is when he chose not to tell King Robert on his death bed that his children were illegitimate
Rhaegar hadn't fathered a bastard,yet? You've got a point but Robert gave it to anyone woman who he liked and wanted it. Rhaegar likely could've had half the kingdom if he wanted it,many times over but he largely stayed loyal to his wife and as far as we know only cheated on her with someone else who had captured his heart/attention,where all it took for Robert was being pretty and he was out on the races.
@@alaricdelano8159 I agree with you. And, Lyanna might of been right about Robert. More than likely, he would of still been a cheating drunk... I'm just saying that it was kinda hypocritical of her to say that... Granted, she only slept with one man. So, I give her that. I blame rheygar the most but, come the fuck on... You couldn't send a raven to your dad, lyanna? Anything could of been good... To let your family know you weren't kidnapped? Or, in danger? Yknow? Just saying...
I bet lyanna seduced Rhaegar, after he found about her being the mystery knight. Her hypocrisy of running away with a married man is just kinda makes her more foolish then Robert and even her brother Brandon just sleeps with other noble girls like Robert is okey but seduces married man like Rhaegar is just makes her foolish enough. If I were ned, i would just abandon them behind or ask father to forget about the all the marriage pact promises never join the south, then leave the north behind for Robert.
@@Brandonhayhew Ned would likely have figured he'd be told to shut up by his father with ambition. Which he likely would've been,he wasn't the lord of Winterfell. Just the quiet wolf Ned Stark and being a son to someone meant obedience was expected which neither Brandon or Ned would ever dare to go against. Lyanna didn't like the match but if not for Harrenhal she likely would've gone through with it for her father.
@@alaricdelano8159 game of thrones is a deconstruction it's takes fantasy tropes and ground them into reality, Martin deconstructed honourable and good man wins but it definitely does not works and it backfires at Ned when he showed mercy to cersei, Jaime trying to honor cat but eventually in the books (spoiler alert) meets as lady stoneheart, and I think Rickard stark father of proud 4 kids but in reality they are a 4 disappointment kids his got. Brandon hot heated but a moron who lead to his own death and his father, dishonorable womanizer but at least that it was all his good at for it. Lyanna beautiful and free spirit girl, her match to Robert was perfect for alliance expect her betrothal was already got a bastard, and she runaway that caused the death of her family. Ned a quiet and shy type son but another disappointment, he was not gifted nor good looking like his siblings, he was to be friends with lord of vale and stormland, he was foolish and honourable blind, which would lead to him making bad decisions. Benjen younger son, he was gonna join the nights watch for honour, but many of us believe why he joined was because he helped his sister to runaway with rhaegar, that's why he joined the nights watch. If there were any afterlife then Rockard would be busy beating up his two kids lya and brandon?
I like how the northern mountain clans refer to him as The Ned
5 лет назад+78
Because unlike modern northmen,Mountain clans are continuing old First men traditions besides at the ancient times of westoros First men live as clans not as lordship or feudel system.Look at the skagosi,wildlings and Mountain clans of The Vale and North,they all live as clanship and still speak old tongue(exept Mountain clans The Vale and North).
Same with Tywin, if you think about it. Tywin only speaks when it’s necessary to gain power and further his position. Think of the Farman rebellion after the Reyne-Tarbeck rebellion. Rather than send a raven or a messenger, Tywin sends a bard to play The Rains of Castamere to intimidate the Farmans into submission, while using no words. But Ned is a man of honour, disgusted with Robert’s desire for Daenerys’s death, and the rape and murder of Elia Martel under Tywin’s orders.
@@doesitmatter1667 Tywin never ordered Elia Martel's death (he ordered her children's death so Robert wouldn't have to). The Mountain killed her because "You never ordered me NOT to kill her".
I like to belief that Ned adopted his values of honer from Jon Arryn and rather from his own father Ricard and that the older Stark generations wern't always the good guys. You often hear people say Ned might have been killed early on in the books and the Show but his legacy lifes on (In Jon or Sansa...) and I like to belief that it is futhermore Jon Arryns legacy which lifes on, plus the fact that hes death is what startet the whole war of the 5 Kings. Sorry for my Bad englisch, not a native speaker and a little bit tired
I think it’s both.Rickard was a good man,just wanted to form alliances with southern houses which is he bethroed Lyanna to Robert,Brandon to Catelyn and sent Ned to be fostered at the Eryie.
@@rouskeycarpel1436 i aggree. The honor of Ned do seem really knight-like, and he had spend his childhood with such persons to look up too as Jon Arryn and lord Yronwood, who are stern but with a strong idea of honor. It is clearly why, alongside the fact than Ned wife is from the south, than he seem to teach to his sons to be kind of like knights (though without the whole tourney thing and hypocrisy) and have pride of it. It's this same honor who had made him refuse to harm Cersei childrens.
I wouldn’t say the starks were bad guys either they were known for being honorable unlike say the lannisters but many starks were known for being hot headed and fierce warriors aka the wolfs blood
@@davidcorruthers78 plus Ned was a loving guy who truly cared about others, while Stannis didn't have to capacity for frienship, or love, except towards his daughter, and even that was questionable haha
Olivier Mumba Sansa only told the queen that her and Arya was leaving. Ned still dug his own grave in Kings landing. He was an honorable man but a rather stupid one as well.
He won't. Ned won't like other people being in danger for him. He believes that a man shouls fight his own battles. It's not like he can anyway. Joffrey doesn't give him a proper trial and no one dare questioned Joffrey.
Ned didn't want to gamble with his daughters lives He was promised exile and would be take Sansa and Arya back to winterfell. But after he confessed Joffrey executed him and he couldn't do anything at that point
@@nothmm8582 Sad, he should have taken the chance. Surely he must have known not to trust someone like Joffrey. Ned was a good man, but a fool. He died anyway.
@@greatminds1017 I don't think Ned ever considered joffery would really play a part in it. Ned had made the deal with varys and cersie. It was jofferys impulsive action and cerseis inability to rein in her son that killed him.

He sacrificed his love, his honor, and his life in order to do the right thing. And, the sad part is, it was based on a lie, as Lyanna wasn't 'kidnapped'. One of the most tragic stories in this book/series.

Usually the Targaryens would have to lure the Starks outta the North with some cheese or something. So when the Stark started doing it on their own, that can't be good
@@MM-xm5vx unless the targaryens were doing it that starks with never get involved with the south. So when I stark decides to take it upon himself to do it doesn't that count as treason
@@madambutterfly1997 no, it's not treason. The Starks often came south during Targaryen rule for weddings or tourney's, and war. They just never went South unless they had a reason.
The bed wasn’t full of blood. “Bed of blood” is both a real world phrase from the Middle Ages and one used many times in the books. It only means a bed for giving birth.
I made this point recently in a discussion of the books, it's the only instance I've heard the phrase "bed of blood" either in real world or fantasy contexts
They don't have names or backstories. Aren't in the books (Tommen is still king, Cersei is still imprisoned), so what you see in the show is all you get.
I think they're making a spinoff about the targaryens but honestly i would LOVE to see the starks story brought to life. One can only hope. All these scenes that i would love to actually see . Theres so much material
well compared to some of the madder targeryens one could say that. we have maegor the cruel and his atrosities, aemond and his war crimes during dance of dragons, rhenyera and her paranoia, aegon the second and his madness, baelor the blessed and his madness, aegon the fourth and his actions which started a war which lasted nearly a century, aerion the brightflame who drank wildfire, rhaegal the guy who danced naked on streets, aelora who went mad after killing her husband, aegon the fifth and tragedy of summerhall, aerys the mad king. out of these the athrocities aerys committed pale in comparison to some of his ancestors
She absolutely knew how bad the consequences would be. To say Lyanna didn’t know what her temperamental family would do in a world where war solves every problem is just wrong
Jon the White Wolf is also a reference to his bastard status. Stark banner gray wolf on white field; Jon could fly a banner wit reversed colors which would be a white wolf, much like Ghost. Pretty intricate details there George.
Ned should have stuck to his nickname and stayed quiet about the truth of Jamie and Cersei until he got himself out of Kings Landing. He could have gathered the North (his bannermen) the Riverlands (Ned’s wife), the Vale (Their lord John was killed because of the truth), Dorne (they hated the Lannisters) and the Stormlands (Stannis is the rightful Heir) marching😮
Maybe he'll be known as the first wolf to ride a dragon? Like Wolf Dragonrider or The White Dragon.He's probably gonna have a few more titles before this Game is over.
I just stumbled upon your videos and I have to say.... I'm impressed man. Your narration is awesome. You dont sound like your a 3rd grader reading out loud in class like so many you-tubers. Ive read all the books and books about the books so I knew most of what the video covered yet somehow you still had the ability to make it entertaining. Great job man, seriously. U should be proud of your work.You definitely earned a like. Hell, mabie you should help George get that next book written or at least help them make the new show. I'm going through GOT withdrawals over here! Do they make westerosi methadone for GOT withdrawl or does everyone just use milk of the poppy instead?
The only quality Ned was missing had to be a little bit of vice in him. The one to make him remember of the inherited evil that we all carry and the one to make him stay on alert about no one and everyone at the same time. He lacked that and that's what killed him at the end.... Such an honorable man...
it would still have happened since it was aerys who started the war by calling for ned's and robert's head after killing brandon and rickard but because showrunners had a contest of who can ride targeryen's dick harder for first seven season they made bran say that awful line that rebellion was based on a lie.
I have no idea if this is a common theory since it only just hit me, but what if Ashara Dayne threw herself from the tower because Eddard had to reject her since after Brandons death he was now promised to Catelyn Tully?
I think Ashara Dayne was Ned Stark’s true love, and I think Robb Stark is the son of Brandon Stark and Catelyn Tully while Jon Snow is the son of Lyanna Stark. It would be like Ned was protecting both his deceased siblings children, Jon Snow and Robb Stark. I think there was so much grief though that Ashara Dayne did commit suicide by jumping from the tower.
The white Wolf with Jon does make sense. He is fire and ice. Dragon and wolf. Part of him is will always be stark if not his main identity. We will see
2:09 actually nobody knows who the "mystery knight" was, and Lynna being is purely conjecture, infact its even absurd for someone not being trained even once in jousting beating skilled knights.
At around 0.40 you said "problably for the first time a northern lord was trying to get closer with southern rulers" is unfortunately incorrect: House Stark has had multible intermarriages with southern houses, such as Blackwood, Royce (branch house confirmed but unknown if main house too) and Rogers. While it can be argued that they don't count due to not being ruling houses over their region, House Stark has also had ties with the Arryns from the days of Aegon the conqueror due to having a daughter of Brandon Stark, the king who knelt, marry Ronne Arryn, the king who flew (though it was because the Targaryens wanted it). Much later, the son of Cregan stark, rickon. died fighting for the Targaryens in Dorne, cementing that there were close ties at the time. Likevise, other houses have linke dwith the south several times across Westerosi history: House Manderly provided a hand for the throne (almost joined by marriage too) and also held a son a son of house Sunderland hostage after it rebelled. House Dustin twice hosted Aegon I targaryen when he toured westeros, it's highly unlikely that he didn't bond with them at the time. Similarly they also hosted a tourney for Jaeharys and Alysane targaryen when they travelled to the north.
Ignoring that Brandon The Builder built Storm’s End for the original Baratheons, ages ago. That surely got the Starks friendly with the more southerly Baratheon kings (yes “Kings”, this is long before the Targaryen invasion).
@@Egilhelmson there was no baratheon's before aegon conquest. durrandon's were the king of storms land before aegon conquest while orys baratheon was just a friend of aegon the conqueror(speculated bastard brother as well) and when he defeated argallic durrandon in aegon's conquest with rhaenys help and conquered storm's land he was named lord of the storm's land. to make his rule even more legal he married the last living durrandon(argallic's daughter)
i think this comes off better than if it was history of our reality... this put me back on re'watching it. thank you very well done hope to see others too you have a great skill "whycreate"
Even if she's not Jon's mom the idea of Ned and Ashara together is nice. Gives Ned's character a little more depth, he had to hurt someone he cared about to win a war.
Ned: Thank the old gods and the new Robert didn't remember the name i told him over 15 years ago cuz I sure as hell didnt..... Robert in background: Yah that was her name yah you need to tell me about her.....
Knowing if George is invovled. he'd probably end up beating him and he just says a line about how he really wasn't that good or asking how he went up against a legend like Arthur Dayne or assumes white walkers are just really crappy fighters.
I clicked on this video to know why Ned was called The Quiet Wolf, not to hear about Robert's Rebellion for the 100th time and a whole bunch of irrelevant stuff so that your video can reach the ten minutes mark
Yeah, what an idiot, he is trying to get money on his research and work. Plus he knows that once someone clicked on the video MUST stay and watch until the end so he can make money, people can't just don't watch the whole video, that's not how it works!
Not a bad video. Unfortunately the video doesn't actually answer the primary question of the video of "how Eddard Stark became known as the Quiet Wolf?". You just make exposition of how Ned is quiet and how much Brandon and Lya were not + general rebellion backstory.
Him being quiet maybe what happened after the tower of joy, after the whole event, he chooses to become quiet and never contact with Robert, because of all the Promise me Ned?
@@Brandonhayhew Absolutely it could have. I think from the way he speaks to his children, and the way he cannot bear to speak of some things, it is most likely he was quite traumatized by much of what he saw during the war, although Cat says he was quiet from the first time she met him, which was their wedding, and Robert accuses him of always being somber. I just would have loved to have seen some explanation of the precise ways that his wartime experience changed him from being something else.
@@Brandonhayhew He was already dubbed as the "Quiet wolf" in the Tourney of Harrenhal, so it wasnt about the promise he made to Lyanna. I guess it's just how he was written/his personality.
@@kiddflash9294 he was shy, but underneath it he was felt disappointed by himself. The reason why he was quiet wolf was after Howland Reed and after Robert rebellion, howland may decided to name Ned the quiet wolf, after the whole rebellion?

@@MM-xm5vx unless the targaryens were doing it that starks with never get involved with the south. So when I stark decides to take it upon himself to do it doesn't that count as treason
@@madambutterfly1997 no, it's not treason. The Starks often came south during Targaryen rule for weddings or tourney's, and war. They just never went South unless they had a reason.
@@brandondavis7777 yea chesse
Every Stark that left the North was because he was hungry for blood
The bed wasn’t full of blood. “Bed of blood” is both a real world phrase from the Middle Ages and one used many times in the books.
It only means a bed for giving birth.
Wow, good to know.
Right, but given that she was giving birth, and that there were apparently complications, she probably WAS covered in blood.
Your correct, overall. But in this instance, she is dying. If a women was to hemorrhage during childbirth that truly would be a bed of blood.
I made this point recently in a discussion of the books, it's the only instance I've heard the phrase "bed of blood" either in real world or fantasy contexts
I could find absolutely nothing online line that references ''bed of blood'' as a bed for giving birth.
You forgot Sansa. She is often called the Maiden Wolf.
The white wolf nickname fits Jon so much due to his Targaryen blood line
Ned lost his father, brother, and sister almost in succession. Poor guy.
Well, now he's the headless wolf.
So is Robb.

Can you make a video on the stark family "wolf names?" I'd love to hear how Aria got the name the "night wolf" and such.
Young Robert and Ned the anime series
That actually wouldn't be bad, get the same actor who played young Ned at the Tower of Joy to do the voice. I'd watch it.
@@ezcoreg759 tbh I'd watch the shit out of that
Great choices with the artworks!
6:21 Does anyone else notice that “Wylla” and the way Ned says “Nor will I” sound very much alike?

Can you do a video about Cersie's other 6 queensguard beside the Mountain??
Queensguard* isn't it?
@@conor1417 my mistake
They don't have names or backstories. Aren't in the books (Tommen is still king, Cersei is still imprisoned), so what you see in the show is all you get.
@@JosephHMama let's pray for the release of Winds of winter soon
Josiah Bjorke They’re all named. Sers (LC)Jaime Lannister, Loras Tyrell, Osmund Kettleblack, Balon Swann, Meryn Trant, Boros Blunt, Arys Oakheart, Robert Strong (Gregor Clegane); serve as Tommen’s (Cersei’s) Kingsguard.
I think they're making a spinoff about the targaryens but honestly i would LOVE to see the starks story brought to life. One can only hope. All these scenes that i would love to actually see . Theres so much material
Your voice works miracles for my anxiety...
So calm.
Using it to put me to sleep, thanks for that man !

The mad king was the only sane one amongst all those psychos.
He burned men alive and laughed, I hope you aren't legally able to vote.
well compared to some of the madder targeryens one could say that. we have maegor the cruel and his atrosities, aemond and his war crimes during dance of dragons, rhenyera and her paranoia, aegon the second and his madness, baelor the blessed and his madness, aegon the fourth and his actions which started a war which lasted nearly a century, aerion the brightflame who drank wildfire, rhaegal the guy who danced naked on streets, aelora who went mad after killing her husband, aegon the fifth and tragedy of summerhall, aerys the mad king. out of these the athrocities aerys committed pale in comparison to some of his ancestors
She absolutely knew how bad the consequences would be. To say Lyanna didn’t know what her temperamental family would do in a world where war solves every problem is just wrong
Did you ever do a backstory on Sandor Clegane and how he came to be known as "The Hound"?
Lyanna's desires are the reason her dad burnt alive and her brother suffering before death
Jon the White Wolf is also a reference to his bastard status. Stark banner gray wolf on white field; Jon could fly a banner wit reversed colors which would be a white wolf, much like Ghost. Pretty intricate details there George.
for the first time a northen lord would get closer to southorn lords.
Pact of Ice and Fire: Am I joke to you?
I forgot that the Nedd that told everyone in Winterfell to stfu was a young Nedd and not the old one we saw in the show

Ned was a great character.
This was actually a really good video. Wasn’t too long or too extra like other youtubers.
Arya should be known as The Faceless Wolf
But she isn't faceless since she decided not to be a faceless man.
@Apathetic Apparition but she still uses her own face almost the entirety of season 8, yes?
@Apathetic Apparition but she still uses her own face almost the entirety of season 8, yes?
@Apathetic Apparition Thats why I'm not doing it.
Arya, The flying wolf.
Ned should have stuck to his nickname and stayed quiet about the truth of Jamie and Cersei until he got himself out of Kings Landing. He could have gathered the North (his bannermen) the Riverlands (Ned’s wife), the Vale (Their lord John was killed because of the truth), Dorne (they hated the Lannisters) and the Stormlands (Stannis is the rightful Heir) marching😮
Ned Stark, The Quiet Wolf. Legends says that he wasn't quiet when it mattered, and he lost his head for it.
8:18 Damn, Robert there would make Thor look like a child.
I think its pretty badass when theyll call jon snow with his real name and the same monicker like Aegon “The White Wolf” Targaryen IV
More like Aegon "the dragon wolf" Targaryen iv
Maybe he'll be known as the first wolf to ride a dragon? Like Wolf Dragonrider or The White Dragon.He's probably gonna have a few more titles before this Game is over.
@@alaricdelano8159 He's already the first wolf to ride a dragon ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I just stumbled upon your videos and I have to say.... I'm impressed man. Your narration is awesome. You dont sound like your a 3rd grader reading out loud in class like so many you-tubers. Ive read all the books and books about the books so I knew most of what the video covered yet somehow you still had the ability to make it entertaining. Great job man, seriously. U should be proud of your work.You definitely earned a like. Hell, mabie you should help George get that next book written or at least help them make the new show. I'm going through GOT withdrawals over here! Do they make westerosi methadone for GOT withdrawl or does everyone just use milk of the poppy instead?
The only quality Ned was missing had to be a little bit of vice in him. The one to make him remember of the inherited evil that we all carry and the one to make him stay on alert about no one and everyone at the same time. He lacked that and that's what killed him at the end.... Such an honorable man...
Dude this was so good. Very cool thanks
robert is a badass in that armor.
Excellent video, thank you!
At 8:20 who would even try to fight robert he is scary as hell
I randomly found this video and now I want to re watch GoT even if the last season was lacking. I still have to read the books.
He kept quiet about Jon’s mom
Dope!! And the quiet Wolf kept his promise.
Person: winged wolf huh? Nice nam-
Winged wolf: time to go now
Jon technically is a stark by his mother. So technically he would be the Lord of Winterfell if he didn’t want the iron throne
None of this would have happened if lyana just told bed about her secret mattiage, even her secret relationship
it would still have happened since it was aerys who started the war by calling for ned's and robert's head after killing brandon and rickard but because showrunners had a contest of who can ride targeryen's dick harder for first seven season they made bran say that awful line that rebellion was based on a lie.
HE WAS JUST INTROVERT YOU GUYS
Question: Fire and Blood has been out by now in few months ago. Will you not or make a review of Fire and Blood?
0:38 brothers in arms
Best thing about both Robert and ned
This was much appreciated thank you got a like from me.
The quiet wolf sure couldn't keep his mouth shut when talking to cersie. I guess he feared Robert would kill her and her children.
I have no idea if this is a common theory since it only just hit me, but what if Ashara Dayne threw herself from the tower because Eddard had to reject her since after Brandons death he was now promised to Catelyn Tully?
I think Ashara Dayne was Ned Stark’s true love, and I think Robb Stark is the son of Brandon Stark and Catelyn Tully while Jon Snow is the son of Lyanna Stark. It would be like Ned was protecting both his deceased siblings children, Jon Snow and Robb Stark. I think there was so much grief though that Ashara Dayne did commit suicide by jumping from the tower.
Robert: You never told me what she looked like...
Ned: Nor will I...
Robert: MFK!
The white Wolf with Jon does make sense. He is fire and ice.
Dragon and wolf. Part of him is will always be stark if not his main identity.
We will see
damn some of the art showed how fucking badass looking Robert was lol
2:09 actually nobody knows who the "mystery knight" was, and Lynna being is purely conjecture, infact its even absurd for someone not being trained even once in jousting beating skilled knights.
If he stayed quiet, he could’ve gotten rid of the lannisters without them knowing
0:35 this art style though....
bran,the disabled wolf that does not do anything to prevent daenerys even though he can see future fucking failure.......wolf
At around 0.40 you said "problably for the first time a northern lord was trying to get closer with southern rulers"
is unfortunately incorrect:
House Stark has had multible intermarriages with southern houses, such as Blackwood, Royce (branch house confirmed but unknown if main house too) and Rogers. While it can be argued that they don't count due to not being ruling houses over their region, House Stark has also had ties with the Arryns from the days of Aegon the conqueror due to having a daughter of Brandon Stark, the king who knelt, marry Ronne Arryn, the king who flew (though it was because the Targaryens wanted it).
Much later, the son of Cregan stark, rickon. died fighting for the Targaryens in Dorne, cementing that there were close ties at the time.
Likevise, other houses have linke dwith the south several times across Westerosi history:
House Manderly provided a hand for the throne (almost joined by marriage too) and also held a son a son of house Sunderland hostage after it rebelled.
House Dustin twice hosted Aegon I targaryen when he toured westeros, it's highly unlikely that he didn't bond with them at the time. Similarly they also hosted a tourney for Jaeharys and Alysane targaryen when they travelled to the north.
Ignoring that Brandon The Builder built Storm’s End for the original Baratheons, ages ago. That surely got the Starks friendly with the more southerly Baratheon kings (yes “Kings”, this is long before the Targaryen invasion).
@@Egilhelmson there was no baratheon's before aegon conquest. durrandon's were the king of storms land before aegon conquest while orys baratheon was just a friend of aegon the conqueror(speculated bastard brother as well) and when he defeated argallic durrandon in aegon's conquest with rhaenys help and conquered storm's land he was named lord of the storm's land. to make his rule even more legal he married the last living durrandon(argallic's daughter)
Thanks for the video!
I wanna see young Ned and young Robert
Never knew I needed an anime game of thrones set in robert rebellion, until I saw that picture
But Jon is a Stark. He is still the White Wolf.
DA KING IN DA NORF
A Dragonwolf
New to your channel whycreate but really liking it and this video was pretty cool. Thx
Jon Snow is a legend but there's only 1 white wolf and his name is Geralt
tomcash007 was just about to write that comment. No one comes close to Geralts badassery
i think this comes off better than if it was history of our reality... this put me back on re'watching it. thank you very well done hope to see others too you have a great skill
"whycreate"
Even if she's not Jon's mom the idea of Ned and Ashara together is nice. Gives Ned's character a little more depth, he had to hurt someone he cared about to win a war.
Even if Jon is Rhaegar and Lyanna’s and not Ned and Ashara’s, it doesn’t automatically rule out Ned and Ashara having a child...
Ned: Thank the old gods and the new Robert didn't remember the name i told him over 15 years ago cuz I sure as hell didnt.....
Robert in background: Yah that was her name yah you need to tell me about her.....
“John” is a Stark
Great video, I'm subscribing right now!!!
What if In season 8 the Nightking reanimates Ned Stark as a white Walker and Jon snow has to duel him
Knowing if George is invovled. he'd probably end up beating him and he just says a line about how he really wasn't that good or asking how he went up against a legend like Arthur Dayne or assumes white walkers are just really crappy fighters.
Great video!
I clicked on this video to know why Ned was called The Quiet Wolf, not to hear about Robert's Rebellion for the 100th time and a whole bunch of irrelevant stuff so that your video can reach the ten minutes mark
God damn... Savage
@@danielsepulveda6601 There are more materials in books than the show
How dare he try to make money.
Yeah, what an idiot, he is trying to get money on his research and work. Plus he knows that once someone clicked on the video MUST stay and watch until the end so he can make money, people can't just don't watch the whole video, that's not how it works!
9:50 Show Rickon: "The Wolf who runs in straight lines" 🤦🏻♂️
Not a bad video.
Unfortunately the video doesn't actually answer the primary question of the video of "how Eddard Stark became known as the Quiet Wolf?".
You just make exposition of how Ned is quiet and how much Brandon and Lya were not + general rebellion backstory.
Him being quiet maybe what happened after the tower of joy, after the whole event, he chooses to become quiet and never contact with Robert, because of all the Promise me Ned?
@@Brandonhayhew Absolutely it could have. I think from the way he speaks to his children, and the way he cannot bear to speak of some things, it is most likely he was quite traumatized by much of what he saw during the war, although Cat says he was quiet from the first time she met him, which was their wedding, and Robert accuses him of always being somber.
I just would have loved to have seen some explanation of the precise ways that his wartime experience changed him from being something else.
@@Brandonhayhew He was already dubbed as the "Quiet wolf" in the Tourney of Harrenhal, so it wasnt about the promise he made to Lyanna. I guess it's just how he was written/his personality.
@@kiddflash9294 he was shy, but underneath it he was felt disappointed by himself. The reason why he was quiet wolf was after Howland Reed and after Robert rebellion, howland may decided to name Ned the quiet wolf, after the whole rebellion?
He answered that... in 10 secs then he give some examples of it. It was something to mention in any other vid but it didn't need its own.
Benjen has to be the most forgotten Stark.
I found the clickbait funny 🤣
Its a shame we did not get to see Howlen Reed.
