Family Trees & other Relationships

I love Family trees (both in real life and ASOIAF) so if you ever have a family tree question to ask, Voice, tag me in the post.

The Vale family relationship to House Stark:

Lord Willam Stark
m. Lyanne Glover (died in childbirth)
-Brandon Stark (died as an infant)

m. Melantha Blackwood (either a sister or an aunt of Queen Betha Blackwood)

-Edwyle Stark
-m. Marna Locke
--Rickard Stark
--m. Lyarra Stark
---Brandon Stark
---Eddard Stark
---Lyanna Stark
---Benjen Stark


-Jocelyn Stark
-m. Benedict Royce (younger son of Lord Raymar Royce of the Gates of the Moon Royces)
--Daughter 1
--m. House Waynwood
---(most likely Lady Anya, given Lady Anya's description of "looking like a horse" and her son and grandson having long faces and brown hair)
--Daughter 2
--m. House Templeton
---Most likely Ser Symond Templeton, the Knight of the Ninestars
--Daughter 3
--m. House Corbray
---Most likely the three Corbray brothers: Lyonel, Lynn, and Lucas


Colors indicate generations.

So the Lords Declarant are made up of mostly Stark relatives and their allies, and it also gives an alternate explanation for why Lady Anya attended the marriage of Lord Lyonel Corbray that Petyr most likely is overlooking, assuming that his buying up the debts of House Waynwood has more sway than it might actually have. It also explains why Ser Symond would also be in attendance of Lord Lyonel's wedding. They might have something in the works for claiming Winterfell through their Stark lineage, or have deduced that Alayne is actually Sansa and be plotting accordingly through family ties to make LF think he's bought them when in reality they're simply trying to lull him into a trap and unite around Sansa.

I personally like the idea that Littlefinger is so concerned about debts and things that he forgets to look at family lineage (which is important to the lords) that he ignores one common bind that unites these houses.

I will repost some neat findings I stumbled upon when doing a comparison between Ned and Cregan Stark:

Cregan Stark marries Lynara Stark (a sister? Cousin? Some close relation) and among their children are Brandon, Lyanna, and Edric.
Eddard Stark is the product of a Stark cousin marriage of Rickard and Lyarra, and has a brother Brandon and sister Lyanna.

Cregan’s daughter Lyanna is the first daughter on record ever produced through a Stark-Stark marriage.
Ned’s sister Lyanna is the second and last daughter on record ever produced through a Stark-Stark marriage, both parties descended in a direct unbroken line entirely through the male line of Cregan.

I like this. Too bad you can't do a Craster family tree 

I'll get to work on it. For the Arryns, I'll go from Jasper Arryn (Jon Arryn's father) and show his descendants.

How far back for the Targaryens? Which branch of the Royces?

She said she's the blood of Maegor the Cruel when that's impossible seeing as Maegor was Aegon I's son by Visenya, and the present Targaryen family descends from Aegon I's son by Rhaenys Aenys I as Maegor died without having children so his line never continued.

Which it turns out that Dany herself knows that she does not descend from Maegor but instead descends from Aenys.



So really she was full of shit when she said she's the blood of Maegor the Cruel. Or GRRM just hadn't yet mapped out that Aegon I's line would descend through Aenys and not Maegor back when he wrote AGOT.

Who is Denys Arryn? Or was Denys. Thanks for the visual aid! So Harry is the son of one of Sweet Robin's first cousins?

Thanks, WWS. I bet if you started a thread like this on Reddit, you'd get a bunch of upvotes. Maybe after you've done a few, you should post them. Or better yet, link it to this thread so you can get "link karma", lol. This is great, though, and quite a useful project to reference while reading.
