Lord Torrhen Stark, better known as the King Who Knelt, was King In The North until Aegon I came north with his dragons. He was named Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North after submitting to Aegon.
History
After watching the fall of the kings in the south, King Torrhen bent the knee and spared his people. He had come south with his army but upon seeing Aegon's dragon and the massive host at his back, he bent the knee at the spot where the Inn of the Kneeling Man now sits.[1] He was named Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North after submitting to Aegon I.[2] He surrendered the crown of the Kings of Winter to Aegon. Its whereabouts are unknown.[3]
