Warden of the North

Warden of the North is a warden title traditionally held by House Stark, the Lords of Winterfell and rulers of the north, on behalf of the Iron Throne. The warden has been responsible for the defence of the Seven Kingdoms' northern lands since Aegon's Conquest. It was later given to House Mallister by Aegor I Blackfyre, due to it being the northern most kingdom loyal to the crown after the North won independence.
== Responsibilities ==
The Warden of the North is tasked with defending the northern regions of the Seven Kingdoms from invaders, such as free folk who live beyond the Wall and attack the north. The territory has also historically been threatened by sea raiders and slavers along the Shivering Sea and by ironborn along the Sunset Sea.
== History ==
Torrhen Stark, the King Who Knelt, submitted to Aegon I Targaryen during the Conquest. Torrhen surrendered the crown of the Kings of Winter and rose as the first Warden of the North. Aegon later commanded Torrhen to suppress the Sistermen's Rebellion.
Lord Willam Stark marched against Raymun Redbeard, the King-Beyond-the-Wall, after his wildling host climbed the Wall.
Lord Eddard Stark, Warden of the North, and Lord Tywin Lannister, Warden of the West, supported King Robert I Baratheon during Greyjoy's Rebellion.
Ramsay Bolton, legitimised bastard of Roose Bolton, was the last person to hold the title before the revival of House Stark.
