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 as 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]

A Clash of Kings

While leaving the crypts of Winterfell, Bran Stark sees the statues of several Kings in the North, including Edrick's.[4]

A Dance with Dragons

While visiting the crypts with Lady Barbrey Dustin, Theon Greyjoy recalls the names of some statues, such as Edrick's.[1]
