Beron Stark was the Lord of Winterfell and the head of House Stark during the reign of King Aerys I Targaryen.[1][4] Beron was a younger grandson of Cregan Stark.
History
Beron became Lord of Winterfell after his older brother, Rodwell, died without issue.[3]
Lord Beron gathered swords to throw Lord Dagon Greyjoy's ironmen back into the sea and made common cause with the Lord of Casterly Rock for it.[5][4] According to a semi-canon source, he was mortally wounded in the ensuing clash, however, and House Stark faced a crisis of succession as his wife and four other recent Stark widows made claims for their own children.[6][7] Despite the crisis, Beron's eldest son, Donnor, succeeded him as Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North.[3]
Beron is buried in the crypts of Winterfell.[1]
Family
Beron was the middle child of Lord Brandon Stark and Lady Alys Karstark. Beron had an older brother, Rodwell, and a younger sister, Arsa Stark, as well as an older bastard half-brother, Lonnel Snow. Lord Beron was married to Lady Lorra Royce, with whom he had seven children; Donnor, Willam, Artos, Berena, Alysanne, Errold and Rodrik Stark.[3]
