Kingdom of the North, ruled by House Stark of Winterfell, the Kings in the North.When Aegon I Targaryen embarked on the conquest of the continent of Westeros from his seat on Dragonstone he had to contend with seven independent realms formed by the First Men thousands of years ago and later taken over by the Andals during their invasion thousands of years later (with the exception of the North and the Iron Islands Dorne also later adopted the practices of the Rhoynar when they migrated to Westeros). History See also: War of Conquest and Timeline A great council elected a new king, Bran I the Broken, who allowed for the North under Sansa Stark to secede, resulting in the current Six Kingdoms under the control of King Brandon Stark and the independent North under Queen Sansa Stark. After the Great War was won, the war for Westeros resumed, and Daenerys and her forces took King's Landing at the Battle of King's Landing, though much of the population and structures were destroyed when she laid waste to the city.ĭaenerys was subsequently assassinated by Jon Snow to prevent more destruction.
Both sides agreed to an armistice to deal with the Great War in the North, though Cersei Lannister and Euron Greyjoy betrayed the Starks and Targaryens. However, the North under Jon Snow had pledged to Daenerys of House Targaryen while the Iron Islands under Euron Greyjoy had allied with House Lannister. The realm has several times became fractured from years of civil warfare with the most recent resulting in the the Kingdom of the North and the Kingdom of the Iron Islands attempting secession. The realm actually consists of nine distinct regions, the remaining two being formally established after the Targaryen conquest, and thus they are not actually considered to be "kingdoms." Regardless, all nine provinces were subject to the rule of the Iron Throne. The name of the realm dates back to the time prior to the War of Conquest, during which seven independent kingdoms existed on the continent. The Six Kingdoms, formerly known as the Seven Kingdoms, is the name given to the realm that controls southern Westeros and its numerous offshore islands, ruled by the King of the Andals and the First Men from the Red Keep in the city of King's Landing. Do you know what the realm is? It's the thousand blades of Aegon's enemies." ― Petyr Baelish to Varys, referring to the Iron Throne
