for this list we’re looking at any of
the noble houses featured in the Game of
Thrones TV show or George RR Martin’s
associated book series no matter how
small or obscure each family of Westeros
was considered will also be mentioning
plot points from the show story so far
so if you’ve been living in a cave like
the three-eyed Raven for the past few
years this is your spoiler alert House
Targaryen is gone as a single person who
shares your blood is a life to support
number 10 house Bolton lay man of house
Bolton exclusions my time with a flayed
man displayed proudly as their sigil the
Bolton’s are one of the most savage
families in the Seven Kingdoms
originating in the Age of Heroes house
Bolton ruled a large portion of the
north for centuries defending their
stronghold dreadfort and skinning their
enemies alive eventually they bent a
need to the Starks and remained loyal to
them until the red wedding where
patriarch Roose Bolton delivered the
final blow to rob cementing the Bolton’s
as the wardens of the north 11 and there
a God in one swift move the Bolton’s
defeated their northern rivals and
proved their house motto true our blades
are sharp my mother taught me not both
stones and cripples
but my father told me aiming for their
head number nine house Tully serving as
prominent allies for King egg on
conquest house Tully was rewarded with
rule over the river lands in the west of
the continent the Tully’s remained
Targaryen loyalists until the uprising
against the Mad King Aerys in which they
aligned themselves with house Baratheon
and the Starks living up to their words
family duty honor house Tully fought
vigorously for Robb Stark during the war
of the five kings before they were
betrayed by one of their sworn vassals
house pray their sigil of a silver trout
may seem eke but the Tully’s are a bold
family with a history of military
prowess in the words of the blackfish as
long as I’m standing the war is not over
go on and cut his throat
number eight house Greyjoy these are
some real salt of the earth people
literally since their leader sits on a
salt throne how do you feel about that
house Greyjoy has ruled over the Iron
Islands off the west coast of the
continent for centuries John Vaughan
reave and pillage as it was in the old
days all along the northern coast we’re
shipping the drowned God and displaying
a golden Kraken on their banners
Greyjoy’s are unmatched when it comes to
shipbuilding or really anything having
to do with the sea like the rebellious
teenager of the Seven Kingdoms
they’re often raiding villages along the
coastlines and declaring their
independence from the mainland adhering
to their words we do not so we do know
so we do not show yeah I’m bald
although much of Westeros thinks this
house is dead and gone the Greyjoy’s
know all too well that what is dead may
never die
he says they never die number seven
house Mormont this is Valyrian steel
my father saw his father before him the
moments of Kaden for five centuries a
small but mighty house in the North the
Mormont rule over Bear Island and our
fiercely loyal supporters of House Stark
although a relatively poor family with
only wooden structures they’ve taken up
their black bear
many times to successfully defend their
home whether from Targaryen Lannister’s
or Bolton’s justifying their slogan here
we stand how small money just kept faces
house top 4,000 years many great men
have come from this bloodline to reach
high honors such as Lord Commander
but unlike others this house also trains
its women for battle my mother wasn’t
too great DT or any other kind of beauty
she was a great warrior though she died
fighting for your brother drop the bold
and brave lady Lyanna Mormont now leave
this house and there’s not a warrior in
Westeros who wouldn’t answer her call we
have no king but a king in the north his
name is stock number six
house Martell they told you who I am
third man
the Martell control the southern land of
Dorne which operates almost
independently from Westeros their land
is home to extreme heat and ferocious
warriors as conveyed in the house symbol
a gold spear piercing a red Sun
embodying the saying unbowed unbent
unbroken house Martell has never truly
been vanquished by outside forces it’s
been a secret and not the golden lion
you’re just a pink little man who is far
too slow on the draw they were the only
family to successfully fend off egg on
the Conqueror and his dragons living
free from the throne for centuries after
being on the losing side of Robert’s
rebellion the Martel’s receded into
isolation fostering a grave distaste for
Lannisters
although the Martell name has almost
disappeared their legacy remains as
possibly the most liberal house in the
realm even practicing gender-blind
succession you must choose Doran’s way
and peace on my way and war number five
House Baratheon it was good with a
sphere as he used to be No
I’m still better than you
known for their boisterous nature and
imposing men Baratheon’s rightfully live
by the expression ours is the fury this
principle housed in the Stormlands
United the North against Targaryen rule
in a bloody civil war led ferociously by
Robert Baratheon in my dreams I’m
killing them all though the new royal
house Baratheon of King’s Landing was
soon formed when Robert married into an
alliance with lioness Cersei Lannister
that house which sported the sigil of a
crowned black stag was merely a
corrupted evolution of the original name
after Robert’s rebellion Stannis created
his own faction entitled house Baratheon
of Dragonstone and later called himself
the true king of Westeros before he was
ultimately defeated and killed at
Winterfell number for house Tyrell your
house has come to a head the whole realm
is in your debt none more so than I if
your family would ask anything of me
asking and it shall be yours rulers of
the reach and once wardens of the South
House Tyrell maintains one of the
largest armies in Westeros as well as a
massive amount of coin known for immense
chivalry and military superiority their
house banner of a gold yet thorny rose
perfectly encapsulates their dual nature
before we decide to spend a nice
together we want to get to know one
another
don’t you think acting as Targaryen
loyalists during Robert’s rebellion they
were able to put aside their
long-standing rivalry with house Martell
to fight several key battles that helped
shape the future of the Seven Kingdoms
[Music]
even after Robert won the war and was
declared king
the Tyrell banner continued to blossom
as the house made strong ties between
themselves and the Baratheon
through Loras Tyrell and Roberts brother
Renly growing strong is the most
appropriate slogan for a family that has
managed to control so many affairs in
the capital while never ruling as king
why are you my mother I was invited my
dear to help deal with several
troublesome issues such as the Queen’s
imprisonment number 3 House Lannister
the future of our family will be
determined in these next few months
because established a dynasty that will
last a thousand years
House Lannister remains the principle
family of the westerland’s under the
banners of a golden lion and the words
hear me roar however as the richest
family in the Seven Kingdoms they also
live up to their unofficial slogan a
Lannister always pays his debts
Lannister always pays his debt no a
common saying but not their official
motto the Lannisters have always had a
strong presence in the realm serving as
the hand of the king crushing the revolt
of their vassal houses and delivering
the final blow to Aerys Targaryen by
initiating the sack of King’s Landing in
which Jaime Lannister earned the
nickname Kingslayer
pretend trail Jaime my name’s Jamie
whether you love them more love to hate
them the Lannisters are perhaps the best
at playing the game of Thrones when you
play the game of Thrones you win you die
number 2 House Targaryen riccati
after egg on the Conqueror and his two
sisters United the Seven Kingdoms
the Targaryen ruled over Westeros for
almost 300 years okatee Kanaskie hmm
despite the infamous reputation of the
Mad King Aerys and his plan to burn
King’s Landing to the ground this family
is known to produce some strong leaders
a trend that one tenacious descendant
plans to restore unlike her father
Daenerys Targaryen acts as an idealist
and vows to restore the Targaryen legacy
with the help of her three fearsome
dragons
[Music]
with the three-headed dragon sigil it’s
no surprise the targaryen have always
had an affinity for these mythical
winged beasts and are often seen riding
them into battle
hence the badass family motto fire and
blood
so Jorah bind this woman to the pyre
you swore to pay me before we unveil our
top pick here are some honorable
mentions the wine will flow red and the
music will play loud and we’ll put this
mess behind us your meat is bloody tough
what are the first men flows through my
veins as much as yours boy I fought the
Mad King – your father fought Joffrey
for you we are king stark and Karstark
number one House Stark there are five
books one for each of the stark children
the direwolf is the sigil of your house
we were meant to have them tirelessly
strong willed and Noble almost to a
fault House Stark is one of the oldest
familial lines in Westeros and has
inspired the loyalty of the surrounding
houses in the north for centuries the
king in the north
the king of the north often referred to
as kings in the North the Starks also
maintain a close allegiance with the
Nights Watch uniting under the motto
winter is coming
the Starks motto acts as a warning to
the kingdom rather than a self
aggrandizing catchphrase and that speaks
to the family’s character on the whole
flying banners of the direwolf the
Starks display not only vicious combat
skills but also a quiet and modest with
them uncommon in the Seven Kingdoms I
God the House Stark Lord of Winterfell
and warden of the North sentence you to
die do you agree with our picks check
