Explore a curated Stark family tree with Eddard, Robb, Jon Snow, Sansa, Arya, Bran, and selected House Stark connections visualized interactively.

Read house background

House Stark of Winterfell has been at the heart of A Song of Ice and Fire from the very first chapter. If you are looking for a Stark family tree to untangle the parentage, marriages, and wards that define the North's ruling house, this interactive visualization maps the connections that matter most.

The Wardens of the North

The Starks have ruled the North for eight thousand years — longer than any other great house has held its seat. Their words, "Winter Is Coming," are not a boast but a warning. In the main saga, the Stark family is scattered by war, betrayal, and duty. Eddard Stark travels south to serve as Hand of the King, setting events in motion that will reshape Westeros. His wife Catelyn Stark fights to hold her family together while their children — Sansa, Arya, Bran, and Rickon — each walk their own harsh path away from home.

The Stark story is also shaped by those who came before: Rickard Stark, the patriarch whose southron ambitions set the stage for tragedy; Lyanna Stark, whose fate holds one of the most consequential secrets in the series; and Brandon Stark, whose hot-blooded ride to King's Landing ended in death and ignited Robert's Rebellion.

What This Tree Shows

This interactive tree focuses on selected Stark family connections spanning three generations, from Rickard Stark through his children to the present generation of Starks and their allies. Beyond blood and marriage, the tree includes bonds of service and protection — Rodrik Cassel as master-at-arms, Maester Luwin as counselor, and the wildling Osha who became an unlikely guardian. Jon Snow, raised as Eddard's bastard son, occupies a unique position at the intersection of Stark honor and deeper mystery.

The Stark family tree is tangled with honor, loss, and secrets. Drag, zoom, and click any character to explore their full profile and view all known relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Relationship Graph?: The Relationship Graph visually maps connections between characters in A Song of Ice and Fire — including family ties, marriages, alliances, rivalries, and more. Each node represents a character, and each edge (line) represents a relationship.
Where does the data come from?: Relationships are manually curated from the published books, appendices, and credited reference sources. Family and POV records have stronger verification than interpretive relationship edges, which remain open to correction.
Can I search for a specific character?: Absolutely! Use the character search bar or click one of the Quick Focus shortcuts to jump to major characters. If a character isn't in the current subgraph, the graph will automatically switch to the relevant subgraph.
What do the different line types mean?: Edges represent different relationship types: Parent-Child (solid), Marriage (pink), Siblings (dashed gray), Kin (dotted), Romance, Lord / Sworn Sword, Mentorship, Patronage, and Rivalry / Enmity. Click a relationship type label in the legend to toggle its visibility on or off.
How do I use the Custom Subgraph feature?: Click 'Custom Subgraph' to select specific characters and generate a focused graph showing only their relationships. Premium users can select unlimited characters.
Can I export or share the graph?: Export functionality is coming soon. You will be able to download the current graph as a PNG image for sharing, presentations, or reference.

Daenerys Targaryen

Tyrion Lannister

Cersei Lannister

Robert Baratheon

House Stark rules the North from Winterfell, a lineage stretching back eight thousand years. Eddard (Ned) Stark and Catelyn Tully raised five children — Robb, Sansa, Arya, Bran, and Rickon — alongside Ned's bastard son Jon Snow. Beyond the Wall, the wildlings and the Night's Watch hold the northern frontier against ancient terrors.

The great houses of Westeros are bound by marriage and blood. Robert Baratheon's marriage to Cersei Lannister united Storm's End and Casterly Rock after the rebellion. House Tyrell of the Reach, House Martell of Dorne, and House Greyjoy of the Iron Islands each pursue their own ambitions. Daenerys Targaryen, last scion of the deposed dragonlords, rises in Essos to reclaim the Iron Throne.

This graph contains more than 200 manually curated relationship edges across the major houses. Eddard Stark's retinue includes Jory Cassel, Vayon Poole, and his ward Theon Greyjoy. King Robert's Small Council — Littlefinger, Varys, Grand Maester Pycelle, and Renly Baratheon — forms a web of intrigue.

At the heart of the narrative lies the War of the Five Kings: Robb Stark marches south to avenge his father, Stannis and Renly Baratheon vie for the throne, and Balon Greyjoy declares himself King of the Iron Islands. The graph traces family, marriage, allegiance, mentorship, and conflict through 17 relationship types.
