Lords Paramount of the North is a title in Game of Thrones. The holder is the Great House of the North. House Stark is the holder during the series. They have held the title since King Torrhen Stark surrendered as Kings in the North to Aegon Targaryen in the Wars of Conquest. Torrhen was the first Lord Paramount of the North and served King Aegon the Conqueror. Torrhen's descendant Rickard Stark held the title under King Aerys II Targaryen. His son Eddard Stark inherited the title when Rickard and his heir, Brandon were executed by King Aerys. Eddard's son Robb Stark inherited the title when Eddard was executed for treason on the orders of King Joffrey Baratheon.
