Padraig O'Sullivan Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 In 'The World of Ice and Fire', Artos Stark had 2 sons Brandon and Benjen who seem to have went on and had children of their own. What houses do you think they might have married into? Just a matter of interest because whatever houses they might have married into, wouldn't they have a claim to Winterfell and dominion over the North.

Leonardo Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Jon remarks in dance that pretty much all the northern houses can boast some descent from House Stark, so in truth any of them could potentially claim dominion over the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthekinginthenorth Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Yeah as Leonardo said, most Northern Houses can claim some relation to the Starks, Stan is selects the Karstarks mainly because they swore fealty to him first and they kinda have "Stark" in their names.

naseridrl Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I don't think there is a house in the North that doesn't have Stark blood in them somewhere. Even if maybe a small house who control very little or even the Boltons have never married a Stark they must have married someone from a family who has at some point. It's a dynasty that's gone on for thousands of years every house in the North must have Stark blood and probably a lot of the smallfolk too.

Just compare 8,000-year-old House Stark to 1,200-years-old Charlemagne: There is not a single living European not descending from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Varys Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Males may have joined the NW. Artos' male line is clearly extinct during the main series. Any daughters may have married into other houses, if he had any. However, their descendants would come after Jocelyn's descendants from the Vale.

Luddagain Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I would prefer a Karstark to a Frey (who are probably the Vale heirs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endymion I Targaryen Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Maybe they took the black.Starks always helped the Watch and got rid of the unnecessary sons/cousins/nephews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonardo Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I don't believe that actually true it's more of a metaphor of how generationaly gene spread and family trees grow If you go back as far as a thousand years, essentially everyone who had offspring before then is related to everyone else. Some are more directly descended, but everyone really is descended from him along with a bunch of other people. All the US presidents but one were related for example, and almost all to King John.

Bright Blue Eyes Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I don't believe that actually true it's more of a metaphor of how generationaly gene spread and family trees grow Couple of professors agree with me. That is a theory taken for granted inside the scientific community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night's King Reborn Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I find this interesting primarily because the denoting of their issue is completely different from the rest of the family tree. Brandon and Benjen were both male Starks, so following the guidelines for the rest of the tree any children they had, male and female, should have been listed.

walkingWITHcersei Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Couple of professors agree with me. That is a theory taken for granted inside the scientific community.It's likely true but the more amazing stat is the number of descendants of Genghis Kahn from roughly turkey, Byzantine empire territory, to Japan. It's some ridiculous number over 90% give or take I don't remember the exact percentage. Khan put Wilt the stilt to shame. Truly the Aegon IV of his or any day. Eight to eighty blind crippled or crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonStark's bastard Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Martin said there were cadet branches of Stark in White Harbor and Barrowton ....so maybe they ran off and started families Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
