Edrick Stark, known as Edrick Snowbeard, was a King in the North from House Stark.
History
Edrick ruled the north for almost a hundred years.[1] His reign was marked by quarrels between his descendants, as well external threats from the ironborn, wildlings, and the Starks' ancient rivals, House Bolton. The outer walls of Winterfell were thus raised during Edrick's time.[2] Slavers from the Stepstones captured the Wolf's Den once Edrick grew feeble.[3] He is buried in the crypts beneath Winterfell.[4]
