Willam Stark

Willam was born the second son of Beron Stark and Lorra Royce, with Donnor, Artos, Errold and Rodrik as brothers and Berena and Alysanne as sisters. He married twice: Lyanne Glover bore him Brandon, and Melantha Blackwood gave him Edwyle and Jocelyn.

When Donnor died without an heir, the succession fell to Willam, who became Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North. He held the office through the reign of Maekar I Targaryen on the Iron Throne.

In 226 AC, Raymun Redbeard scaled the Wall at the head of a wildling host. Willam called his bannermen and marched north together with Lord Harmond Umber to head him off.

The northern host caught up with the wildlings on the shores of the Long Lake. In the battle that followed, Lord Willam was killed and beheaded.

His son Edwyle succeeded him. His remains rest in the crypts of Winterfell.
