Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the correct order of the Stark children, oldest to youngest?

Answer: Robb, Sansa, Arya, Brandon and Rickon

At the start of the novel Robb is 14, Sansa is 11, Arya 9, Brandon 7 and Rickon is only 3. Their illegitimate half-brother, Jon Snow, is also 14.

2. Who was the Hand of the King immediately before Eddard Stark?

Answer: Jon Arryn

Jon Arryn's death leads to Eddard's appointment as Hand which in turn sets off a chain of events which will lead to civil war - the War of the Five Kings. Jon Connington, Tywin Lannister and Lord Rossart the Pyromancer all served as Hand to Aerys II.

3. Who were Aegon the Conqueror's sisters?

Answer: Visenya and Rhaenys

Aegon was married to both his sisters and had sons by both. Rhaenys was also the name of the daughter of the Prince Rhaegar, murdered during the Sack of King's Landing.

Rhaenyra was the sister of King Aegon II and the mother of Aegon III. Naerys was the sister and wife of Aegon IV. Myriah was the Dornish wife of Daeron II, while Rhaella was the sister and wife of the Mad King Aerys II.

4. In which of the Free Cities are Viserys and Daenerys living when Daenerys is married to Khal Drogo?

Answer: Pentos

The two surviving children of the Mad King, Aerys Targaryen, had lived in a number of the Free Cities across the Narrow Sea from Westeros, rarely settling in one place for long. Dany was surprised when her brother Viserys betrothed her to Khal Drogo as she had always assumed that Viserys would marry her himself, according to the Targaryen custom.

5. Sandor Clegane is known as the Hound. However, by what name is his brother, Ser Gregor, often known?

Answer: The Mountain That Rides

Despite being a knight Ser Gregor is a vicious brute, responsible for Sandor's half-burned face. Sandor in turn hates knights.

6. What is the name of Prince Joffrey's sword which Arya throws in the Trident?

Answer: Lion's Tooth

Ice is Lord Eddard's sword, Widow's Wail is the sword given to Joffrey by his grandfather, Tywin Lannister, in the third book. Needle is Arya's own sword, given to her by her brother Jon.

7. Who is the Knight of the Gate?

Answer: Ser Brynden Tully

He is the uncle of Lysa Tully, widow of Jon Arryn, Lord of the Vale of Arryn. However, he leaves Lysa's service to accompany his other niece, Catelyn, home.

8. On the death of King Robert who becomes regent for King Joffrey?

Answer: His mother, Queen Cersei

Cersei acts quickly to consolidate her position on Robert's death (in which she conspired), eliminating Eddard Stark who knows the secret of Joffrey's birth: that it is the result of Cersei's adulterous and incestuous relationship with her twin brother, Jaime.

9. Who is the first of his bannermen to proclaim Robb Stark as King in the North?

Answer: Greatjon Umber

Robb is the first King in the North since King Torrhen Stark knelt to Aegon the Conqueror almost 300 years previously.

10. Who does Daenerys name as her bloodriders?

Answer: Aggo, Jhogo & Rakharo

Each initially refuses on the grounds that she is a woman but swear themselves into her service when they see her emerge unburnt from her husband's funeral pyre, bearing three live dragons.
