Did It Happen To The Starks Or The Lannisters?

325 Shares

Before we get into the meat and potatoes, we would like to warn you. If you haven’t caught up to season six of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” then there may be some spoilers in this quiz. With that out of the way, welcome to the ultimate Stark vs Lannister quiz. We all know the lion and the wolf don’t like each other unless you’re Jon Snow and Tyrion Lannister, so what better way to highlight that rivalry by asking you which family did this event happen to.

George R.R. Martin was well known before the television show but he became an international legend when HBO decided to showcase his tale on the big screen. The show would debut in 2010 and has become a life of its own ever since. In 2017, it’s the hottest fairy tale around and we don’t see that changing this year or the next.

Even after the series is over in 2018, there will definitely be spinoffs, fan fiction, novels, video games, and other types of content that will keep the universe alive. Season seven has been picking up steam every week and we can’t wait for the ending but until then, you can take this quiz if the anticipation is killing you.

Question 1

A Pack Of Direwolves Were Found By Which Family?

Those cute looking puppies grew up to be some vicious animals. Although the direwolves are heavily involved in George R.R. Martin’s novel, HBO decided to limit their time on television due to budget concerns. Even if you’re a beginner of “Game of Thrones,” one of the very first plotlines of the film is when this family would come across a litter of direwolves. It seems like centuries since that happened, longer for book readers, but fans have witnessed the pups grow up to be significant characters.

Question 2

Which Family Was Married Into The Baratheon Family?

HBO’s “Game of Thrones” is all about the medieval period in our own history. Martin has gone on record saying a lot of his inspiration comes from that time. Like many other periods in our history, arranged marriages happened out of political and financial needs and not love. This series is no different as fans have seen what happens when you don’t follow through with an arranged marriage. Marriage and weddings are all too familiar in “Game of Thrones” and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Question 3

Which Family Was Caught Engaging In Incest?

Incest has been happening since the dawn of mankind and it’s no different in “Game of Thrones.” Just like the royal families of the Middle Ages, the most powerful family before Robert’s Rebellion also engaged in incest. It’s all about keeping the bloodline pure but sometimes that leads to health problems down the road for newborns. Although it’s very taboo today, incest still exists around the world. Two members would get caught doing the dirty and it would help set off a change of events in the series.

Question 4

Someone Tried To Assassinate A Member Of Which Family With A Valyrian Steel Dagger?

Valyrian steel is a rare metal which used to be forged by the Valyrian Freehold. If you acquired or obtained a Valyrian steel weapon, then you just hit the jackpot. What makes this steel special is the fact that it remains sharp forever. Although light, the steel can also penetrate through a lot of tough material, including White Walkers themselves. Only a few key characters are known to carry Valyrian steel but a dagger found its way into a major plotline.

Question 5

A Member Of Which Family Belonged To The Kingsguard?

"The Kingsguard is a sworn brotherhood. Our vows are taken for life. Only death relieves us of our sacred trust,” said Lord Commander Barristan Selmy. Seven deadly knights make up this security team. Regarded as the most skilled warriors in all of Westeros, once you become a member you can no longer hold lands or have a family. Their golden armor and white cloaks make them stand out from the rest of the crowd as they stand by the King and Queen.

Question 6

Members Of Which Family Burned To Death By The Mad King?

King Aerys II Targaryen wasn’t always mad but ended becoming “The Mad King” by the end of his reign. He would be the last Targaryen to rule Westeros but his daughter Daenerys may change all that by the end of the series. His legacy has been constantly popping up as many characters remind Daenerys how evil her father was. Jaime Lannister would claim the Mad King said, “Burn them all -- burn them in their homes, burn them in their beds.”

Question 7

Which Family Member Wins A Trial By Combat In The Vale?

Today we settle accusations in a courtroom peacefully, for the most part, however, things aren’t exactly the same in “Game of Thrones.” Trial by combat allows the accused to demand his fate be settled by way of combat. If victorious, he would walk away free from any wrongdoing. We have seen several trials by combat on HBO and each scene was a masterpiece of brutality. The logic is that if you die in combat then the Gods willed it. Thank god we don’t live by those rules.

Question 8

Which Family Would Rule Over The Seven Kingdoms?

The Children of the Forest, Greenseers, wood-dancers, and the Giants were the first to settle in Westeros. The First Men would battle these creatures and the two sides would end up agreeing to a truce. Thousands of years later, the Andals would invade from Essos and bring the Faith of the Seven with them. Hundreds of petty kingdoms would begin to sprout up during this time period. Fast forward a few thousand more years and the ruler of House Targaryen, Aegon the Conqueror, would bring his kingdom to Westeros, helping form the seven kingdoms.

Question 9

A Member Of Which Family Was Beheaded At Kings Landing?

Beheadings are as normal as blood sausage in “Game of Thrones.” Defect from the Night's Watch, get beheaded. Discover a nefarious plot involving the King’s wife, get beheaded. Do you get the drift? The theme of beheadings pops up throughout the entire series and we wouldn’t be surprised to see one or two more of those types of scenes before the show is over. The beheading at King's Landing would be a huge moment in the history of “Game of Thrones” as it would start a chain reaction of events which led to a war.

Question 10

A Member Of Which Family Became King Of The North?

Aegon the Conqueror would bring his dragons to Westeros and set fire to the land. After securing victories in the south, he set his eyes on the north. No one could stand in his way and he would unite all the kingdoms of Westeros under one king. A new king in the north wouldn’t come about until the War of the Five Kings. It was during this time that a certain family would once again become leaders of their own kingdom again.

Question 11

Which Family Would Arrange A Marriage With House Frey?

As we mentioned earlier, marriages in “Game of Thrones” aren’t about love. It’s all about political power and finding the right match to keep your house strong and your enemies weaker. Boys and girls don’t get to slide their phones to the right in this universe, they get to see their parents make the relationship decisions for them. Even the Mother of Dragons was married for political purposes. House Frey has always been the end of all jokes but do you remember which family arranged marriages with them?

Question 12

Which Family Was Successful At The Battle Of The Blackwater?

The Battle of the Blackwater or also known as the Battle of Blackwater Bay, was the grandest battle in the War of the Five Kings. It was a large naval and land battle that stretched throughout the night. Thousands perished and fans got to witness wildfire being used for the first time in the show. It was also the first time fans got to witness a large scale battle on television. The climax of the battle would be a turning point for many characters still on the show today.

Question 13

A Member Of Which Family Was Shipped Off To House Martell In Dorne?

The southernmost part of Westeros is made up of Dorne. For the most part, House Martell has ruled over Dorne for centuries. Although it is a peninsula, it’s one of the hottest places in Westeros. We’ve seen some loveable and not so loveable characters come out of Dorne over the years, the most famous being Oberyn Martell. Their blood runs hot and definitely can hold a grudge for a long time. When winter comes, you would rather be there than in the north.

Question 14

Which Family Would Lose Their Ancestral Home To The Greyjoys?

House Greyjoys of Pyke can be compared to the Viking clans of our own history. They enjoy the sea, pillaging, and killing. Their kingdom is made up of many islands on the west coast of Westeros. Known as the ironborn, they usually get a bad rap as being the weakest people of all the kingdoms. Surprisingly, the ironborn have one of the most democratic ways of electing a leader through a kingsmoot. Fans got to witness such an event in Season 6 when Euron was campaigning against his niece, Yara.

Question 15

House Frey Would Double Cross Which Family?

House Frey may be the most hated family besides the Lannisters but you got to admit, you didn’t see their treachery coming. Known as “The Red Wedding,” House Frey would backstab a certain family. The event would go viral as videos would surface online of fans watching the scene for the first time. You can’t talk about “Game of Thrones,” without mentioning this significant scene. House Frey would be all smiles and laughter after the double cross, however, someone still remembered the north.

Question 16

Which Family Would Win The War Of The Five Kings?

"The Seven Kingdoms are at war with one another... false kings destroying the country... the Usurper is dead. The Starks fight the Lannisters, the Baratheons fight each other," said Daenerys Targaryen to Ser Jorah Mormont. The war was an intense one and the audience witnessed Westeros changing from a thriving continent to a desolate battlefield. Instead of preparing for winter like Ned Stark always warned, the kingdoms of Westeros were caught fighting each other. Nothing good would come from this war and eventually, one family would rule from King's Landing.

Question 17

A Member Of Which Family Would Be Abducted By Sandor “The Hound” Clegane?

Don’t you just love a good redemption story? People hated The Hound in the beginning of “Game of Thrones,” however, he has come on strong as a hero since then. As the younger brother of The Mountain, Sandor would be scarred as a child when his brother decided to burn off half his face. Why? Because Sandor was playing with his toy. An epic battle between two brothers is the only conclusion to this story and it could happen this season.

Question 18

A Member Of Which Family Would Become Master Of Coin In Kings Landing?

"The Master of Coin finds the money, the king - and the Hand - spend it," said Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish. As the king decides to host a tournament, the Master of Coin must find the means to fund it. As a royal official, whoever holds the position also becomes a member of the king’s small council. It’s all about money and as we‘ve seen, you can't fund a war without some gold. Luckily, the Iron Bank in Essos is willing to loan some cash.

Question 19

A Member Of Which Family Dies At The Purple Wedding?

The term “Red Wedding” was heavily used in the novels and storyline. The term “Purple Wedding” was never used in the novels but the name took a life of its own after fans kept on referring to it. Weddings are supposed to be a joyance occasions but you won’t see that in this series. If you go to a wedding in “Game of Thrones,” prepare for a death or two, especially at a Dothraki wedding. Fans would use the term “Purple Wedding” due to the victim’s face turning a blueish-purple shade.

Question 20

A Member Of Which Family Becomes A Slave In Essos?

Slaves are very coming in Essos but not in Westeros. Although we would point out that technically you’re a slave to your king’s will in Westeros. After Daenerys Targaryen consolidates some power by freeing the Unsullied, she would begin to free people from different cities. She would make a lot of enemies this way but each one would either fall or bend the knee. There are two popular characters that would make a journey to Essos, do you remember which one became a slave?

Question 21

A Member Of Which Family Trains To Be A Member Of The Faceless Men

"Valar Dohaeris. All men must serve. Faceless Men most of all,” said Jaqen H'ghar. Known as assassins, the Faceless Men have made their home in Braavos. Although located in Braavos, the group will carry out a hit job anywhere. Believers of the Many-Faced God, they’re trained to disguise themselves, making it easier to carry out assignments. Although their time on HBO came to an end last season, don’t be surprised to see them pop up to battle the army of the dead next season.

Question 22

Oberyn Martell Is The Champion For A Member Of This Family During A Trial By Combat

"You raped her! You murdered her! You killed her children,” said Oberyn Martell at the trial by combat. HBO’s “Game of Thrones” wouldn’t be as good as it is if favorite characters weren’t killed off and Oberyn was one of the more awesome characters to take the long nap. His hatred for The Mountain grew so much he was happy to battle him in King's Landing as a champion. Winning the fight the entire time, he would lose his concentration and become another victim of The Mountain.

Question 23

Petyr Baelish Helps This Family Member Escape King's Landing?

Petyr Baelish’s schemes and plots go deeper than many fans know. Ever hear the conspiracy theories about men behind the scenes pulling the strings? You can count Baelish as one of those men. He has spies everywhere, the money and land to expand his operation, and his ability on how to play the game can be matched by only a few others. You can never trust him but for some reason you need him. A character who has never killed on screen has become one of the most hated men in the show, now that’s impressive.

Question 24

The Three-Eyed Raven Contacts A Member Of Which Family?

A Greenseer is one who possess abilities to see the past and future in dreams. The Three-Eyed Raven was the last one and would contact a certain person to be his protégé. Although the character is still shrouded in a lot of mystery and doesn’t get as much time on screen as other, his story and purpose are just as important as the other well-known heroes. In a world full of zombies and dragons, it’s not bad to have the Three-Eyed Raven on your side.

Question 25

Which Family Wins The Second Siege of Riverrun?

There is just too much “Game of Thrones” to fit into one series, let alone one season. Fans never got to witness the first siege of Riverrun but they did get to witness the second one. As the attacker, you usually have two options when in a siege. Either wait it out and let the city starve to death or you attack it head on. This siege saw neither of those choices and it came to a quiet end. If you didn’t know, Riverrun belonged to House Tully before the war started.

Question 26

A Member Of Which Family Becomes A Hero At The Battle Of Castle Black?

"Brothers! A hundred generations have defended this castle. She has never fallen before and she will not fall tonight. Those are Thenns on our walls, they eat the flesh of the men they kill! Do you want to fill the belly of a Thenn tonight? Tonight we fight! And when the sun rises, I promise you, Castle Black will stand,” said Alliser Thorne. The battle was an epic one and sadly a few characters lost their lives in the mayhem but one person stepped up big during the carnage.

Question 27

House Bolton Betrays Which Family?

You would think from a public relations standpoint, House Bolton wouldn’t have a dead guy being flayed on their banner. Something about it just comes off as being a villain you can’t trust. Who would want to work with you after seeing that sigil? House Bolton proved to be as evil as their banner suggested so we’re not that surprised about how things turned out. Luckily, the family was snuffed out and we don’t have to deal with anymore treachery from them.

Question 28

A Member Of Which Family Wages A Political War Against The Faith Of The Seven?

"In the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, the dominant religion is the Faith of the Seven. First brought to its shores by the Andals, some six thousand years ago,” said Catelyn Stark. Another great thing about “Game of Thrones,” is the amount of detail into the different religions and cultures. How often do you find a fantasy show that actually details popular religions of their fictional tale? You could worship the Old Gods, the Lord of Light, or the Faith of the Seven in this series and it adds to the aura of this show.

Question 29

A Member Of Which Family Gets Married To Ramsay Bolton?

"If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention,” said Ramsay to Theon Greyjoy. Ramsay enjoys lying but he was right when he told Theon that. After capturing Winterfell from Theon, Ramsay would do his father’s bidding and take over the place. Once a bastard, he would become legitimized for his success. He would wed a person of importance but do you remember who that was? When it was all said and done, Ramsay would be served justice.

Question 30

A Member Of Which Family Becomes The Hand Of Daenerys?

The Hand of the King or Queen is similar to the Vice President. As Ned Stark found out, the King gets to sleep, drink, and whore his way to an early grave while the hand gets stuck with all the work. It’s not an easy job and we’ve seen several hands over the years fail at it. Daenerys decides that if she was to rule Westeros, she would assign someone to this position as a gesture that she isn’t as foreign as people might think.

Question 31

Which Family Wasn’t Involved In The Battle Of The Bastards?

The Battle of the Bastards is arguably the greatest battle we’ve seen to date but we having a feeling that by the end of the series it won’t be number one. The name has a nice ring to it but the battle was far from nice. Thousands would die and HBO wasn’t shy showing it. Although there were gruesome elements to the scene, it was a pivotal moment in the story and needed to be seen on the big screen at home.

Question 32

A Member Of Which Family Destroys The Great Sept Of Baelor In Kings Landing?

The Great Sept of Baelor was a magnificent structure created to be the central religious hub for the Faith of the Seven. With its beautiful architecture, it dwarfed all the other buildings around it. Named after Baelor Targaryen, a religious king, the building would host royal weddings and ceremonies. If you’re all caught up with the series, you know that the structure is no longer there due to wildfire. Once it was a glowing jewel for the city, the area is now a pile of rubble.

Question 33

A Member Of Which Family Was Resurrected?

Sometimes a character dying once isn’t enough. Resurrection is possible in “Game of Thrones” and we’ve seen it happen more than one time on the big screen. The leader of the Brotherhood Without Banners, Beric Dondarrion, has gone on record saying he was brought back to life six times. Whether it’s magic or God’s work, “Game of Thrones” has hit fans hard teasing about the resurrection of certain characters over the years. So was it a Stark or Lannister who got a second chance at life?

Question 34

A Member Of Which Family Commits Suicide?

We’re not suggesting other Starks or Lannister’s never committed suicide but we did see one take place on television, unfortunately. With the amount of carnage, depression, and overall negativity washing through the environment of “Game of Thrones” we’re not surprised some characters just can’t take it anymore. It’s pretty clear in this show that the mentally weak fall while the strong survive. Too bad the Night King can’t give it a try. Maybe if Jon Snow asks him politely he will oblige him.

Question 35

A Member Of This Family Kills Walder Frey?

Walder Frey of House Frey would pull off the epic betrayal that led to the deaths of Rob Stark, his wife, unborn child, and his mother, Catelyn. This would take place in season three and fans have hated the family ever since. When fans ask friends what family do you belong to, you never hear the word, Frey. Luckily, someone took care of this nasty person in an epic way. There’s never a shortage of creative deaths in “Game of Thrones” and mistaking your sons for animal meat in a pie before you die is one of them.
