12 Best Ned Stark Quotes From 'Game Of Thrones'
Gallery
Eddard 'Ned' Stark is a character that taught us wisdom, honor and the true meaning of courage.
He also showed us that when the lives of the ones you hold dear are endangered, you start to question the policies you have held on to your entire life. He is a man who not only says brave things but has the courage to carry them out in person, which we know from experience is a rare trait!
The writings of George R. R. Martin and the brilliant acting of Sean Bean give Ned Stark's character life in a way that it gets imprinted in our memories. He taught us that a person can only be brave when they are afraid.
Throughout his life, he tried his best to protect his family and their secrets.
He even claimed Jon Snow to be his son even when it put stains on his bright and shining armor. How his strategies defeated The Mad King was a thing of legend.
He went against King Robert Baratheon, in front of the council when the former wanted to assassinate Daenerys Targaryen.
In the end when he dies, as we all know that when one plays the game of thrones either they win or they die, he dies to protect his beloved family. He dies as a traitor to the realm, but also as one of the greatest heroes of all time in all of Westeros.
