Chapter 1

The conquest of the Neck

Books only

Rickard Stark took the Neck from the Marsh King who ruled it at the time. It was not easy ground to win, but it passed into Stark hands after the clash.

The king sealed the victory by marrying the Marsh King's daughter, binding the conquered land to Winterfell through marriage as well as by force.
