Rickon Stark was the Lord of Winterfell and the head of House Stark during the reign of King Viserys I Targaryen.[3]

In the television adaptation House of the Dragon, Rickon is portrayed by David Hounslow.[4]

History

Rickon succeeded his father, Lord Benjen Stark, as the Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North.[1][N 1]

After Lord Rickon passed away in 121 AC, he was succeeded as Lord of Winterfell by his thirteen-year-old son and heir, Cregan. Rickon's brother, Bennard, served as regent during Cregan's minority until 126 AC, when Cregan rose against his uncle for he was slow to surrender power.[3]

Lord Cregan named his eldest son and heir Rickon, after his lord father.[3]

Family

Lord Rickon Stark was the eldest son of Lord Benjen Stark of Winterfell and Lady Lysa Locke. His younger brother was Bennard Stark. He married Lady Gilliane Glover and had two sons by her, Cregan and an unnamed second son, who died young in 119 AC.[1][3]

According to the court fool Mushroom, Rickon also had a bastard daughter Sara Snow, though Archmaester Gyldayn doubts her existence.[3]
