So Ned had a "my lands, my children" philosophy when it came to his subjects. While i have no doubt that some lords did see ruling in this light--it really paints just how condescending the best of the lords could be without intending it. Ahh, my subjects are just children, and I'm their father who knows best.
Arguably it's the best philosophy one can hope their lord to have when you're a smallfolk, but ultimately it's the best of a lot of very bad choices when it comes to ruling philosophies.
