House Stark: The Hidden Truth About Their Origin? - A Song of Ice and Fire (Theory)

  • Welcome back for another A Song of Ice and Fire Theory Video. Today I want to talk about the origins of House Stark and the Others, and why I think they are intertwined. According to Old Nan, the Night's King, who was the 13th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, was a Stark of Winterfell. We have also heard about some of the Kings of Winter having eyes of ice. I am wondering if all of the current Starks are actually descendants of the Others in some way. We have been told that Winterfell was built directly after the Long Night ended, but can we trust the timeline? I also think the Night's King could be down in the lowest levels of the Crypts of Winterfell. Something is hiding down there, and it most likely has something to do with the Others. Let me know what you think. Thanks for watching the video!

    "There must always be a Stark in Winterfell" - Taking into account in which contexts was "winter fell" used in stories, I think over time they started to interpret it wrong as if a Stark needs to always be physically in the castle. I think it means that when the winter falls, the long night comes, there must be a Stark in the battle against the others. It actually backs up your video and what you are saying but with this thought having in mind it just makes it more valid.

    Oh fun-fact for you: "Winterfell" is actually a word in German, written exactly like that. I translates as "Winter Fur/Coat/Pelt" animals get in the cold months of the year. So for me as a German reader, I wouldn't read it like "Winter falls/fell" but like "Winter-Fur", which is fitting as well to me, also because of the Wolves etc. ^^

    I believe the reason there must always be a Stark in Winterfell is because of the Kings in the Crypt. Think about it, a spell especially a blood spell can only be as effective as it is cast if the blood line that casts it remains bound to the property. The binding of these Kings would have to be 3 fold. First of blood, then iron then earth. The first being the strongest way to keep them in check the second and third simply to bind. You do not bind a captive with a single or double cord rope or chain but a 3 fold rope or chain. The first being blood would link to the ways of the Old Gods, the second is the means by which they were captured and the third would be what is being protected.

    Remember Hodor took an iron sword from the crypts before they left Winterfell. I wonder whose sword he took? Meera took Rickard's sword. Bran took Brandon's. It doesn't say whose sword it belonged too. Could this be important? Hodor might have released a bad spirit of the Starks.

      It was also mentioned that the oldest iron swords had long since rusted into just a red stain on the statues, which could explain why the Others have made a return after so long. Their spirits had been released when the iron swords were no longer there to contain them.

    • @Richard_Nickerson
      @Richard_Nickerson 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      If he got his sword from the same general area as the others got theirs, then it would probably be Bran's great-grandfather. Between location in the pitch black and the fact that the older swords were literally rusting away into nothing, it would have to be one of Bran's more recent relatives. Therefore, it wouldn't be one of these evil White Walker spirits, which I dismiss as ridiculous in the first place.

      Even from the Stark stories in the books, we could all tell that the Starks have always had a cold stoic streak about them.
      Plus, they were known to have short tempers and low tolerance for decadence/degeneracy.
      They have always been known for cruel efficiency.
      And they live in the cold north.

    here's my theory: The White Walkers/Others are actually all Starks that were loyal to the 13th Lord Commander and the ones in Winterfell are the descents of ones that refused to side with him. Everything with the White Walkers is either a big Stark family feud from ancient times or the 13th Lord commander has been imprisoned in Winterfell all this time and the white walkers are coming to free him.

      bootzy wootzy The Valyrian steel sword Ice was only about 400-500 years old. It was a replacement for the original Ice, which dated back to the Age of Heroes. That Ice was likely hidden in the Crypts during the Conquest to avoid the possibility of it being confiscated for the Iron Throne, incase the Starks fell to the Aegon’s forces. Of course, Torrhen ultimately decided against fighting Aegon.

    I’m starting to get the feeling that we may not learn all of this by the end of season 8 but this makes total sense. The Stark’s very clearly have some deep connection to winter as they often say, “winter is coming,” whenever they attack someone as if the Stark’s are the personification of winter. Then you have the Others which are very clearly the true personification of winter. As when they come, the worst of winter also actually comes. The Stark’s are often a metaphor for the White Walkers which are themselves a metaphor for winter. And I think there is a deeper reason for this than we realize. Perhaps we will learn much of this on Sunday!

    Very good theory video! Thanks. :) A note about Jon and the NK. You mentioned how the NK wants Bran, and how he can't take his eyes off Jon whenever they've seen each other. But Jon, as we know, is Ice & Fire. What would the NK want with a Targaryen/Stark son? We know the NK is prescient somehow (that journey north to get a wight was a clear setup, perhaps the NK sent a vision to the Hound) and the NK was able to kill and turn a dragon into a WW (not a wight) and that magic combination was enough to bring down the wall. Would Jon have any special abilities if he'd been turned into WW after the battle up north? He can survive icy water, and it could be due to his combo Targaryen/Stark blood. Maybe that's why the NK has never tried to capture and turn him. He had plenty of opportunities and his WW didn't stab Jon when he had the chance.

    There must be something significant with the name Winterfell, probably staring us right in the face and so obvious that were overlooking it, there is an old word " fell " when used after the name of a place that comes from the Norse word " fjall " which roughly means an area of high ground like a moor covered hill. which describes Winterfell's location perfectly, and those kind of location's historically were used as defensive positions

    You and GRAY AREA have such talent.. the analyses you both present: using the books to enlighten & explain much of what the TV series touches upon honestly reminds me of the techniques used for the academic study of a given subject.
    The resulting ideas & information are deeply intriguing and well as engaging

    Wow! One of your best breakdowns. I see you, TThrones, you’re doing the damn-thing. 🔥 You seem to be getting better and better’er. (Yep, BETTER’ER) Great job. 👍 I’ve read you being compared to other TH-camr’s which drives home my point. There is no need to “Dis” another TH-camr as The Universe has enough room for EVERYONE. No need for competition. Your style of delivery is obviously different from others, but guess what, it works, because you ARE different. I have to be honest, It took me a second to get use to you (Subscribe) because I was so use to a different TH-camr/s and how they choose to deliver their stories. Case and point, I’m glad I did give you a chance or I’d be missing out on some really good commentary. Keep up the good work. It takes a lot of time and research to do what you and you ARE appreciated. Thank you. 🙏

    If the night king can summon the dead, I’m eager to see what happens if he reachesWinterfell. Will he be able to summon the dead from the Winterfell crypts? All the kings of winter, along with Eddard and Lyanna? There’s something creepy about House Stark.

    Starks must have something that the Night king wants. It belonged to him before . Could it be that Night king is one of the children of Night's king and Queen born at the Night fort and was given to the WW's before his father/mother was killed??? And their corpse/corpses is/are hidden beneath the crypts of winterfell which he wants back for him to reanimate.

  • @ivaylo5ev
    @ivaylo5ev 5 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I believe the Night Queen was captured and imprisoned by the Starks of old in the tombs, more like a hostage. The others agreed to peace conditions such that she will be freed when the next winter comes (and Starks always remind themselves of the coming of winter). All this was done in the face of a situation where the Others would wipe out the entire realm, but the NK, bound by the love to his Queen decides to honor the request of men. As an alternative to continuing their line, they also demanded the male baby sacrifices -- a practice we seem to see occurring only north of the wall. But the Starks forgot. The NQ was not freed when promised, and the sacrifices were declining until they stopped eventualy. Maybe most of the wildlings are descendands of the people living north of the wall, the ones who had to supply the babies to the NK, but failed to do so and formed tribes instead. And, here he is, the NK comes to seek the end of the deal. This is in par with @Oracle of Raelor 's oppinion below

    Winds HOWLING (like wolves) from the north, as WINTERFELL..Solid clues about Starks being night kings. ..kings of winter...night kings! Agreed 100% about 13th LC put in the crypts Ygritte said, "Jon Snow, ahh, an evil name, and shuddered". One also shudders when icy cold. The old night king wasn't killed because he was a half brother to the Stark (kinslaying is forbidden) that brought him down. This was really fantastic, thanks, love QOT.🌹 😊

I think those lower level tombs in the crypts where the iron swords have rusted away (according to Theon in books ) are where some of the whitewalkers have escaped. If 1 was 13th LC/nightking they could pass through the weirwood door under the night fort by him speaking his nights watch vow. QOT.🌹

    Theory: You closed the video with one of the family's credo's, "there must always be a Stark in Winter fell". But what if this: there currently ISN'T a Stark in Winterfell. Not officially. They all have Stark blood, sure, but Jon is a legitimate Tagaryen, not a Stark. Sansa could be considered a Lannister or a Bolton. Arya has disavowed her name countless times to become "no one", and Bran himself said that he's not Bran Stark anymore.
    Maybe, the Night King is growing so powerful because the Stark family finally crumbled and essentially broke their end of the deal?

    You have been killing it with your videos lately! I am excited to see someone else pointing out what Nan told us about Iron. I think it's important too. About the eyes as blue as ice, don't you think it's interesting that part of the Westerosi burial practice is to put stones painted with blue eyes on top of the eyes of the deceased? I think this could be important too. Maybe it's a long forgotten symbolic way of preventing the deceased from turning into a WW? Perhaps part of an old spell?

The Starks have survived for so long and have protected the rest of the Kingdoms...What you said is not even remotely amusing. But I understand where you are coming from with only the show as your perspective.

    This Others/Stark relationship might be one of the reasons behind the others actually marching down south. "A single family ruling over the north for 8 millenia with an unbroken male line"; "There must always be a Stark in Winterfell". Maybe after Ned went South with Robert something was disturbed and the others were pissed off. In my opinion, the Starks are 'magically' the defenders of the north, and the more of them dying, the stronger the others become. Once Ned is killed and Ice is 'destroyed', that could be the incentive for the walkers to pack up and start the invasion. The only living Starks are Jon, Bran, Sansa and Arya. Bran is the three-eyed raven now, Arya is no one, Sansa is a Lannister/Bolton even though there's Stark blood in her (plus she was very enthusiastic about leaving Winterfell), so that leaves Jon the only Stark and the last line of defense against the dead. In another of your videos, you spoke about a special way to kill the Night King since he created all of the other walkers. Maybe the weapon has to be valyrian steel/dragon glass but it has to be wielded by a Stark in order for the impact to matter (just a hunch, not necessarily true). Just thoughts, however.
