Kinslaying

Kinslaying is the act of killing a family member and is considered a great abomination by all major religions of the Kingdom of The North. It is believed that a kinslayer is forever cursed in the sight of gods and men. The social implications of being labelled a Kinslayer is strong enough to sway the hands of even the most ruthless men. 
== Known Kinslaying ==
* King Ronan I Boyce executed his brother, King Bradyn I Boyce, after the Summer Rebellion. In line with tradition, he beheaded his brother for treason against the Realm, in his alliance to the Faith, and their house but he is still considered a Kinslayer as well as a Usurper despite being a very good king.
* King Dannis I Boyce committed Kinslaying by having his mother, Queen Mother Tyla Boyce, locked in her chambers in the Winter Keep until she died. 
== Alleged and Suspected Kinslaying ==
* There is a suspicion that King Rylar II Boyce was killed by his nephew, Dannis I Boyce. This is not confirmed and is mere speculation among members of House Boyce and other nobles.
== Attempted Kinslaying ==
* King Dannis I Boyce attempted to kill his brother, Prince Kaegan, and his family (his sister-in-law and his nephew) in the Eve of Blades. He failed in his attempt due to the escape of Prince Kaegan and his family, in thanks to Lord Wyllam Rocke.
