Game of Thrones Lore to Sleep | House Stark: The Ancient Kings of Winter

Before Ned Stark, Winterfell belonged to the ancient Kings of Winter. Settle in for a calm Game of Thrones lore story about the rulers who built, defended and eventually surrendered the old North. We begin beneath Winterfell, among the stone kings and the iron swords placed across their laps. From there, the story follows Bran the Builder and the earliest legends of the Wall; Brandon the Breaker and the Night's King of book lore; the Red Kings of House Bolton; Theon Stark, the Hungry Wolf; Brandon the Shipwright and the son who burned his ships; the Manderlys' arrival in the North; and Torrhen Stark's choice when Aegon the Conqueror came with dragons. This is a slow, atmospheric retelling for listeners who enjoy the history of Westeros at night. The story follows the ancient Stark kings through Torrhen, the last King in the North before Aegon's Conquest. It draws on the lore of A Song of Ice and Fire and The World of Ice & Fire. Where the oldest accounts are legendary or uncertain, the narration presents them as tales rather than settled history. The Night's King mentioned here is the figure from the books, distinct from the Night King of the television series. You can listen closely to the rise of Winterfell, or let the quiet history of the North accompany you as you rest. The central question is simple: who were the kings beneath Winterfell, and why did the last of them lay down his crown?
