Starks don't have a habit of marrying their cousins, Rickard did and one or two others in the lineages page in World of ice and fire but most married people from other houses.

Loose Bolt Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 If I read Stark lineage right at least one Stark married his niece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a younger brother seems to really get you places in the north. But I doubt that's anything more than a legend. The Karstarks are a cadet branch - of course they would not look similar. It means thats its not important enough to know. It would be a exhausting family tree of to know what happened to every stark. There could be hundreds of thousands of people with stark blood walking around winterfell and elsewhere in the north/ Its commonly understood that high lords marry other high lord. And if it doesn't effect the current succession then its probably not important enough to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to add though, if it's a ruling lord we see having no children attached to him, then he probably died without any. As for his brothers, sisters and other relatives, yeah, they are pretty much irrelevant to us in a tree showing the mainline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably another big reason why lineages aren't detailed as much (besides the author's choice) because of would be pretenders and usurpers in a time of crisis. fAegon and fStark. So in a time of inheritance problems, there could be a lot of power plays. So I think its better to keep the info light as possible. But I don't think the current Bran in the story will be listed married to a weirwood tree. Rhaena Targaryen had 6 hightowers girls, Do we know their names? no. Who they married? Does it matter? no. And thats only 150 years ago.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
