- Bran Stark: "I didn't like the way he was talking about Robb."
- Luwin: "Nor did I. But listening to people you'd rather not listen to is one of your responsibilities as Lord of Winterfell."
- — Bran Stark and Maester Luwin discuss Bran's duties[src]
Winterfell, the seat of the Lord of Winterfell.
The Lord of Winterfell is the ruler of the stronghold Winterfell, the capital of the North and seat of House Stark. The capital of the North has always been Winterfell so the ruler of the North, be it the Kings in the North during the North's time as an independent kingdom or the Lords Paramount of the North on behalf of the Iron Throne, has always also been the Lord or Lady of Winterfell, until recently.
All Lords of Winterfell have been Starks until Theon Greyjoy briefly conquered Winterfell during the War of the Five Kings. Soon after, Roose Bolton became the Lord Paramount of the North, Warden of the North and Lord of Winterfell as reward for his betrayal of House Stark at the Red Wedding. Roose was soon succeeded as Lord of Winterfell by his son, Ramsay Bolton, who personally murdered him. Not long after that, House Stark reclaimed Winterfell and this title after the Battle of the Bastards. However, the title of Lord of Winterfell had an unprecedented split from King in the North; Sansa, one of the last known living Starks, inherited the title as Lady of Winterfell.
According to the male-preference primogeniture law of inheritance followed in Westeros, Bran Stark is the rightful heir to Winterfell, ahead of Jon, a bastard, and Sansa, a female; however, Bran abdicated his lordship on the grounds that the Three-Eyed Raven cannot be the lord of anything. Bran's assertion upheld the recent status quo: Jon Snow as Warden of the North and Sansa Stark as Lady of Winterfell. However - after Sansa is crowned Queen in the North, both titles are presumably reunited under the current sovereign of the north.
