We're sure you're not the only ones who are extremely upset that we'll have to wait until 2019 until Game of Thrones releases it's eighth and final season. But so long as these last few episodes are as well made as the rest, the conclusion to this fantasy epic should be worth the wait.
While there are inevitably a number of viewers who just watch Game of Thrones for the action and excessive nudity, there are the rest of us who have become fully obsessed with these characters and their relationships with one another. Unlike the privileged world that many of us live in, the characters that live in Westeros often don't get to pick who they end up marrying.
In a lot of ways, this has caused more problems than century-old conflicts between great houses. For instance, just think about how both Robb Stark and Rheagar Targaryen ran off with women they weren't supposed to be with, and how the word fell to chaos as a result.
But do you actually remember the women they risked their legacies for? In fact, let's see how well you can remember all the couples we've seen come and go throughout the first seven seasons of Game of Thrones.
Who are the true parents of Jon Snow?
Jon Snow’s parentage was a subject of hot debate even from the first season of the show. We’re lead to believe that he is Eddard Stark’s illegitimate son, though Eddard seems like the last person in the world who would cheat on his wife. So it’s not until Bran undergoes training from the Three-Eyed Raven that it is actually revealed who Jon’s true parents are — a revelation that proves Jon actually has a legitimate claim to the Iron Throne, making his parents…
Who was the first person that Sansa Stark was betrothed to?
Out of any other character that is still alive on Game of Thrones, Sansa Stark has possibly had it worse than anyone else. She been betrothed from one monster to the next and used as Littlefinger’s pawn almost as soon as her father was executed. At long last, she’s been brought back to Winterfell — which is finally back under Stark rule. But can you remember the very first person she was set to marry before everything started to spiral out of control?
Who does Tormund want to make giant babies with?
There’s not much comic relief in Game of Thrones, especially in the North where the climate is cold and unforgiving. Luckily, this character often manages to bring a smile to our faces as he never fails to establish how full of himself he actually is. Now that the wildlings have been integrated into the Seven Kingdoms, Tormund Giantsbane has come into contact with a number of character he would have never normally met, especially this woman, you is just as fierce of a warrior as he claims to be.
Who was Daenerys Targaryen forced to marry?
Much like Sansa Stark, Daenerys Targaryen is also made the pawn of more powerful men simply because of her last name. But fortunately for Dany, she doesn’t take this sitting down for very long. Despite being forced to marry by her brother, Dany quickly turns the tables and used her new husband and his army of warriors to rid herself of the short-tempered Viserys. She even grows to love her husband before he is taken away from her during a tragic turn of events.
Who was Jon Snow’s first love?
Despite never having a serious girlfriend or knowing what it’s like to be really in love, Jon Snow decided to pledge his life to the Night’s Watch — giving up any chance he ever has of getting married and starting a family. However, during an unexpected turn of events, Jon finds himself living with the wildlings, who have the complete opposite point of view when it comes to love and lust. So do you remember the name of his first lover?
What was the name of Tyrion’s first wife?
One of Tyrion Lannister’s biggest weakness — second to wine — is his infatuation with women. When we first meet the character, he seems solely interested in the carnal satisfaction that women provide for him. But it doesn’t take long to discover that Tyrion has a past filled with tragedy — much of which stems from the experience with his first wife. This helps explain why Tyrion takes so long to let his heart warm to another woman, which also happens to end in yet another tragedy.
True or False: Jon and Dany are actually brother and sister.
Despite these two character being related, that didn’t stop the vast majority of fans from wanting these two characters to be together. Maybe it was because the revelation that they were related came late in the series. Or maybe it was simply because Emilia Clarke and Kit Harrington are both very attractive. However, in the novels, it’s actually explained that Targaryens are actually a step above regular men and women, meaning that they can interbreed with fewer consequences than others would experience.
What was the name of Ned Stark’s wife?
The whole first season of Game of Thrones is really just a set up for things to come, which ultimately start getting rolling as soon as Ned Stark is executed. Though the head of House Stark may be dead, Ned left a number of strong-willed children, as well as his wife, behind. They take up arms against the Lannisters, especially his wife, who is just as headstrong and uncompromising as her husband was. So do you remember what her name was?
Who’s was the father of Cersei’s children?
Ever since she was a child, Cersei Lannister was told by a forest witch that she would outlive all of her children. Even still, that didn’t stop her from having three offspring — or four, if you want to count the one that didn’t survive infancy. However, like everything else with the Lannisters, nothing is as it seems on the surface, and the legitimacy of these children has long been debated amongst the other noble houses. So who actually fathered Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen?
How many times was Margaery Tyrell married?
Though she was passed around nearly as often as Sansa Stark, Margaery Tyrell seemed to have a firm grasp on the game of thrones that she was a part of. She knew that she was used as a pawn simply because she was a woman from a noble house, but that didn’t stop her from craving the power that a marriage pact would afford her. Nor was she unafraid to try and subtly manipulate her many husbands. So before Cersei exacted her revenge, how many times had Margaery been married?
Who was Lysa Arryn married to before her death?
Though she may have been the sister of the strong-willed and astute Catelyn Stark, Lysa Arryn was anything but stable. For whatever reason, too much time in the impregnable Eyrie made Lysa unwilling to trust anyone outside the bounds of the Vale. Therefore, when her sister comes calling for help, Lysa still refuses to get involved with the affairs of the Seven Kingdoms. Though this one character is somehow able to weasel his way into her trust and gain her hand in marriage.
True or false: Jaime Lannister has never been married.
Aside from Tyrion, Jaime may be one of the few Lannisters with any real redeeming qualities. Though he starts the series of as a self-righteous jerk who looks down his nose at anyone who’s not a Lannister, the loss of his hand changes Jaime in profound ways. To save himself from falling into a pit of despair, he learns to use his brain for once instead of his brawn — which means he must learn to make people trust him for the first time in his life.
Who was Tyrion forced to marry?
For the first few seasons of Game of Thrones, the Lannister children are largely at the mercy of their father, Tywin. In order to keep the influence that he needs over the Seven Kingdoms, Tywin knows that he needs to pick the marriage pacts of his children very carefully. But unfortunately, Jaime is forbidden to marry, Cersei is growing older, and Tyrion is the bane of his existence — meaning he is willing to let his outcast son marry the daughter of a traitor.
Who is Jorah Mormont in love with?
For a while there, Jorah Mormont seemed like he would join the list of many Game of Thrones characters who have met their demise. Unlike in the novels, where Jon Connington has contracted greyscale, in the show, this deadly disease is carried by Jorah. Fortunately, thanks to Sam being in the Citadel, Jorah is back alive and well… for the time being at least. Though we’ve seen in the past that his unrequited love to this person has often put him in grave danger.
What is the name of Stannis’ wife?
Though many of the marriages in Game of Thrones are more political than romantic, the relationship between Stannis and his wife may be the least loving of them all. For one, emotions don’t come easily to Stannis, and the only person he seems to openly show affections to is his daughter. And second, the only person Stannis is seen romantically involved with is with Melisandre — though this is only in hopes that their bond will win him the Iron Throne.
How many times has Daenerys been engaged?
So far in the show, Dany has only been married to one person. But in the books, she is actually currently married to her second husband. However, in both the series and the novels, the character has still been engaged the same amount of times. Do you know how many that is? While a marriage to Jon Snow might seem inevitable, things are bound to grow more complicated when Dany discovers that Jon has a stronger claim to the throne than she does.
Who is the father of Gilly’s child?
Though both Gilly and Sam start off as more annoying than endearing, over time, they have become one of the most romantic couples in the series. They first meet at Craster’s Keep — where Gilly is kept as one of the master’s many wives — and it becomes clear that Sam is infatuated with her from the very start. They’ve since travel across the Seven Kingdoms together, where they have both played a part in raising Gilly’s child, who is also named Sam.
Who is Missandei in love with?
One of Dany’s most trusted advisors and friends, Missandei was originally a slave who served the masters in Astapor. She helped translate the conversation between Dany and Kraznys mo Nakloz — the owner of the Unsullied — despite Dany already being able to speak Low Valyrian. After Dany burns Kraznys and the other masters, Missandei enters Dany’s surface, where she later goes on to fall in love with this character who also happens to serve the Dragon Queen just as faithfully.
True or false: Arya Stark has never been married.
Despite being the second youngest Stark child, Arya has had one of the longest and most interesting journeys before ultimately making it back to Winterfell alongside her brother and sister. Because of her time spent in Braavos as the House of Black and White, Arya has become one of the most skilled assassins in all of the Seven Kingdoms. So, if you’re someone who watches the show on a regular basis, surely you should know if Arya has ever tied the knot.
How many times has Tyrion been married?
Because he is a dwarf, Tyrion is not given the respect that most noble males received throughout the Seven Kingdoms. Though his father detests him, he still realizes that his last name is enough to use as a marriage alliance with another noble house, and he can think of no one more fitting than the daughter of an accused traitor for his son to marry. But do you remember if the marriage actually occurred? Or if Tyrion has tied the knot before or since?
Who was Dany’s lover while she was in Meereen?
Despite being forced into marriage, it took a long time for Dany to overcome the loss of her first husband, Khal Drogo. Therefore, she puts all her effort into freeing anyone who has ever been enslaved — as she knows what it was like to serve at the mercy of others for many years. However, she does come across a warrior that she is particularly smitten with during her time in Meereen. In fact, this man is now the current ruler of the city in Dany’s absence.
Who was Tyrion’s lover while he was in King’s Landing?
Because so many of the marriages are arranged, each party inevitably ends up falling in love with someone else. This is exactly the case when it came to Tyrion Lannister, who remained in love with a lower class woman while his father planned to marry him to Sansa Stark. However, this woman is particularly heartbroken when Tyrion must break things off with her, and their relationship comes back to haunt him when Tyrion is put on trial for Joffrey’s death.
Who was Ramsay Bolton married to before his death?
After Joffrey’s unexpected death, it felt like the show had killed off their most sinister character. But then Ramsay Bolton stepped up to fill in the role of the show’s most hated character — almost a little too well. This character doesn’t just kill and torture people for power, he does it to enjoy himself, as seen during Theon Greyjoy’s prolonged stay with Roose Bolton’s son. He may be infatuated with the equally twisted Myranda, but do you remember who he ends up marrying?
True or False: Ellaria and Oberyn were married.
Oberyn Martell may have only appeared in one season of the TV series, but his short arc on the show led up to one of the most intense fights in Game of Thrones: the trial by combat where Oberyn faced off against the Mountain. Despite having an open relationship with his partner, Ellaria Sand, it’s clear that the two are very much in love with one another. So much so that the Sand Snakes take up a personal vendetta against the Lannisters because of Oberyn’s death. But were Ellaria and Oberyn actually husband and wife?
Though he was married to Margaery Tyrell, who was Renly Baratheon’s lover?
Though he may have been the youngest of the three Baratheon brothers, it was clear that Renly was nothing like Robert or Stannis. Instead of demanding power from his kingdom, citizens gladly followed Renly due to his extremely charming personality. But in such a harsh world, anyone could have guessed that this charismatic nature wouldn’t have kept him alive for very long. After his death, Margaery Tyrell is freed up to marry once again, but it’s established that he was never really interested in her in the first place.
Who was Robb Stark supposed to marry?
In order to secure the North and fight off the Lannisters, Robb Stark is forced to agree to a marriage with one of the other great houses, but that doesn’t stop him from falling in love on the battlefield and breaking his pact. At first, the punishment for not keeping his word seems pretty subtle — too subtle, in fact, which ultimately leads to the events at the Red Wedding. So do you remember who Robb originally agreed to marry?
Who does Robb actually marry?
Showing you a picture of Robb Stark’s wife isn’t giving away the answer. After all, we’re sure you remember what she looked like anyway. The question is do you actually remember what this rather minor character’s name was after all these seasons. Reading the books won’t actually help in this instance, as the character isn’t the same in ASOIAF. In fact, this character isn’t even present at the Red Wedding in the novels, meaning she manages to outlive her husband.
Who is Jaime Lannister in love with?
If you remember all the way back to the first season of the series, the pilot episode actually ends with Jaime pushing Bran Stark out the window after stating “The things I do for love.” While this may be one of the worst things he’s done for the women he loves, it’s hardly the last. In fact, Jaime has been largely under the thumb of this character for the entire series, and only in the last episode was it hinted that he may be turning his back on her once and for all.
Aside from her twin brother, what other relative does Cersei have relations with?
Who knows why Cersei Lannister is only interested in having relations with her family members. Maybe it’s only because she thinks that Lannisters are the only worthy people in the Seven Kingdoms. Maybe she simply likes having power over those who are closest to her. Either way, Jaime is not the only one of her family members that have been romantically involved with her. This character even turns around and uses this information against Cersei when he ultimately finds religion with the Seven.
Which couple was married at the Purple Wedding?
Although the Red Wedding may be more shocking and memorable, it’s actually easier to remember which characters were married during the Purple Wedding. The nickname came about due to the color of the Strangler — which was the poison used to assassinate Joffrey Baratheon. Though Tyrion is ultimately convicted of the crime, it was Lady Olenna who actually did the poisoning. But before the king was killed off, do you remember who ended up actually tying the knot during the ceremony?
True or False: Cersei and Jaime are secretly married.
After keeping their secret for nearly their entire lives, Cersei and Jaime Lannister are no longer afraid to admit that they are lovers, or that they parented three children together. In fact, Cersei has recently revealed that she’s pregnant with another one of their children — so long as she wasn’t lying to Jaime to get him back on her side. But do you know if these two have secretly tied the knot to further secure their hold on the Iron Throne?
Who was Dany engaged to while in Meereen?
Despite the advice from both Jorah Mormont and Barristan Selmy, Daenerys Targaryen decided to continue to rule in Meereen as opposed to taking her forces with her to Westeros as soon as possible. The reason behind this is that her freeing of the slaves had left the Bay of Dragons in turmoil, and those that once looked to her were being killed off. Therefore, she plans to marry one of these former masters in an attempt to stop the bloodshed.
Who was Myrcella Baratheon betrothed to before her death?
Aside from the Iron Island, the happening in Dorne are covered in much more detail in the books. Meaning that in the show, we know a lot less about Myrcella Baratheon before she meets her demise at the hands of the Sand Snakes. In fact, in the books, the Sand Snakes actually want to use Myrcella to their advantage by marrying her off to one of their own to establish her claim to the Iron Throne. Do you remember who this character was?
True or false: Arya was once betrothed to Theon Greyjoy.
In less you’ve been paying very good attention, they rarely say outright why Theon was sent to live with the Starks in the first place. But in the world of Westeros, the idea of a “ward” is fairly commonplace. A ward is basically a nice way of saying a hostage — and Theon’s father was forced to give over his eldest son after his rebellion was squashed to prevent him from rebelling again. Which is why Theon was raised as though he was one of Eddard’s own children.
Which couple was married at the Red Wedding?
We all remember who was slaughtered at the Red Wedding, but do you remember who actually got married there? This was no doubt one of the first scenes that proved the series wasn’t afraid of killing off major characters, as the earlier seasons of the show seemed to paint Robb Stark as the replacement of his father and the possible new ruler of the Seven Kingdoms. But if we’ve learned anything from Game of Thrones, it’s that if anything is going too smoothly for one character, their deaths is inevitable.
