Editing Barrow Kings (section)

==History==
The Barrow Kings claimed descent from the [[First King]] of the [[First Men]], who is said to be buried at the [[Great Barrow]] in [[Barrowton]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The North}}{{Ref|ADWD|32}} Some Barrow Kings allied with [[Marsh King]]s against [[southron]] invaders who tried to pass the [[Neck]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The North: The Kings of Winter}}

Singers claim the Barrow Kings fought against the [[Kings of Winter]], the [[House Stark|Starks]] of [[Winterfell]], north of the barrowlands, in the [[Thousand Years War]], but [[runes]] of the First Men indicates the conflict lasted about two hundred years. When the last Barrow King submitted to Winterfell, the Stark king received his daughter in marriage. The [[House Dustin|Dustins]] of Barrowton claim descent from the First King and the Barrow Kings.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The North}}

Maester [[Kennet (maester)|Kennet's]] ''[[Passages of the Dead]]'' mentions a curse was supposedly placed on the Great Barrow, weakening and making corpselike any living man who dared to equal the First King. Some [[maesters]] think the [[corpse queen]] of the [[Night's King]] may have actually been a daughter of a Barrow King, as they were often connected with graves.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Wall and Beyond: The Night's Watch}}
