He is a close friend to King Robert I Baratheo. He danced with her later that night, but only after his older brother Brandon had spoken to her on his behalf, since he himself was too shy. Eddard was present during the final jousts, where Prince Rhaegar Targaryen passed over his own wife, Elia, to crown Lyanna the queen of love and beauty. Eddard would remember this moment as the moment when all smiles died years later. The following year, Eddards sister Lyanna was abducted by Prince Rhaegar. Brandon rode to Kings Landing in anger, but he was arrested when he threatened the crown prince. Lord Rickard Stark was summoned to Kings Landing, and when he demanded a trial by combat, both he and Brandon were executed at the command of King Aerys II Targaryen. Aeryss next step was to demand that Jon Arryn send him the heads of his former wards, Eddard and Robert. Jon refused and instead called his banners. Roberts Rebellion. With his father and brother dead, Eddard was now the Lord of Winterfell. He wanted to raise his banners to join Roberts Rebellion, but getting from the Vale of Arryn to the north was complicated by the loyalty to the Iron Throne of Gulltown, the Vales chief port. Eddard crossed the Mountains of the Moon to the Fingers and hired a fisherman to bring him to White Harbor with a boat. They were caught by a storm on the Bite and the fisherman drowned. However, his daughter brought Eddard to the Three Sisters. When he arrived at Sisterton, House Borrells maester urged Lord Borrell to deliver Eddards head to King Aerys II Targaryen, but Lord Borrell, knowing that Jon Arryn and Robert Baratheon had taken Gulltown in the meantime, was unsure who would prevail in the conflict. Thus he let Ned leave for White Harbor, telling him to remain silent about his stay in Sisterton in case the rebellion failed. Eddard called his banners, and marched south to join Robert and Jon, arriving in time to turn the tide at the Battle of the Bells. Afterward, he went to Riverrun to marry Catelyn Tully, who had been betrothed to his brother Brandon before his death. Jon Arryn married Catelyns sister, Lysa, in the same ceremony. The double wedding bound House Tully to the rebels cause. The rebels won their decisive victory in the Battle of the Trident, in which Robert killed Prince Rhaegar Targaryen in single combat at the ruby ford. Because Robert had been wounded by Rhaegar, it fell on Eddard to pursue the remnants of Aeryss armies to Kings Landing. When Eddard arrived at the capital, Lord Tywin Lannisters force had already sacked the city. Eddard had developed contempt for House Lannister during the rebellion, as Tywin had remained neutral in an apparent attempt to join the winning side in the end. Eddards contempt increased when he learned that Tywin had conquered the city by treachery and that his men had brutally killed Rhaegars wife, Elia Martell, and children, Rhaenys and Aegon. In addition, Lannister flags were flying over the Red Keep when Eddard arrived and, as he rode into the throne room to claim the crown for Robert, he found King Aeryss body at the steps leading to the Iron Throne, on which the kings killer, Ser Jaime Lannister, was sitting. Eddard felt the Sack of Kings Landing dishonored Roberts cause. He was disappointed that Robert, upon arriving in the city, did not share his moral outrage and in particular defended the murder of Rhaegars children. He also ignored Eddards counsel that Jaime should be made to join the Nights Watch for breaking his oath as a knight of the Kingsguard by not protect the king. Their disagreements created a rift between Eddard and Robert that not even Jon Arryn was able to breach. Eddard left Robert in Kings Landing and went to Storms End, where he lifted the siege of the castle. Lord Mace Tyrell and his armies yielded to Eddard without a fight. Afterwards, Eddard travelled to the Red Mountains of Dorne to liberate his sister Lyanna, who apparently was held at the tower of joy. When Eddard arrived along with six companions, he found the tower guarded by three members of the Kingsguard, Arthur Dayne, Oswell Whent, and Lord Commander Gerold Hightower. The resulting skirmish saw the deaths of all but Eddard and one companion, Howland Reed. Eddard is said to have killed Arthur, the Sword of the Morning, in single combat. Eddard makes a promise to Lyanna before her death by Amok Unfortunately, when Eddard found Lyanna, she was already dying. Before her death, she made Eddard promise her something 3. The experience haunts Eddard and he recalls her promise me on multiple occasions. However, the shared grief over Lyanna led to his reconciliation with his friend, now King Robert I. When Eddard returned home to Winterfell, he brought with him his bastard son, Jon Snow.
