'''Ellard Stark''' was the Lord of [[Winterfell]] and the head of [[House Stark]] during the late reign of King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}}{{Ref|TWOIAF|The North: The Lords of Winterfell}}

==History==
At the [[Great Council#Great Council of 101 AC|Great Council]] of {{Date|101}}, Lord Ellard supported first Princess [[Rhaenys Targaryen (daughter of Aemon)|Rhaenys Targaryen]]{{Ref|TPATQ}} and then her son, [[Laenor Velaryon]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Jaehaerys I}} This may have been because [[House Stark]] was angry with King [[Jaehaerys I Targaryen]] for earlier transferring the [[New Gift]] from [[north]]ern control to the [[Night's Watch]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The North: The Lords of Winterfell}} Prince [[Viserys I Targaryen|Viserys Targaryen]], Rhaenys's cousin, was chosen by the assembled lords as the new heir, however.{{Ref|TPATQ}}

==Behind the Scenes==
Earlier prints of ''[[The World of Ice & Fire]]'' state that Lord Ellard Stark was the lord who had been forced to give up the lands that would become known as the [[New Gift]].{{Ref|TWOIAF|The North: The Lords of Winterfell}} However, it has been confirmed that this is an error,<ref>asoiaf.westeros.org:
 [http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/119534-twoiaf-spoilers-inconsistency-or-intentional/&do=findComment&comment=6483268 [TWOIAF Spoilers<nowiki>]</nowiki> Inconsistency or Intentional?], November 25, 2014</ref> and that the statement would be replaced by "the Starks were glad" in later prints. It was revealed in ''[[Fire & Blood]]'' that [[Alaric Stark]] was the Lord of Winterfell during the creation of the New Gift.
