'''Bennard Stark''' was a member of [[House Stark]] and the second son of Lord [[Benjen Stark (lord)|Benjen Stark]] and Lady [[Lysa Locke]]. He married [[Margaret Karstark]], with whom he had three sons; [[Benjen Stark (son of Bennard)|Benjen]], [[Brandon Stark (son of Bennard)|Brandon]] and [[Elric Stark]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|Appendix: Stark Lineage}}

==History==
When his elder brother [[Rickon Stark (son of Benjen)|Rickon Stark]], [[Lord of Winterfell]] and [[Warden of the North]], died in {{Date|121}}, Bennard ruled the [[north]] as [[regent]] during the minority of his lord nephew, [[Cregan Stark|Cregan]]. When Cregan came of age in {{Date|124}}, Bennard was slow to surrender his power. Relations grew strained between Bennard and Cregan as the young Lord of Winterfell chafed under the limits imposed on him by his uncle.{{Ref|FAB|A Son for a Son}}

Finally, in {{Date|126}}, Cregan rose up against his uncle, and imprisoned Bennard and his sons, taking the rule of the north into his own hands.{{Ref|FAB|A Son for a Son}}
