Game Of Thrones: How Every Main Character Dies In The Series
Game of Thrones features an endless row of iconic death scenes. Here's a breakdown of how each main character died on the hit HBO fantasy series.
The highly anticipated HBO series, Game of Thrones, became infamous for its multitude of main cast deaths. Adapted from George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novel series, the show portrayed a gritty and realistic high fantasy world where no character was entirely safe. Key plot points include:
1. King Robert Baratheon (Mark Addy) dies in Season 1 after consuming excessive wine during a hunt and being maul by a boar.
2. Nobleman Ned Stark (Sean Bean) is named regent and tries to arrest Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) and Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson), leading to his beheading in the Great Sept of Baelor after Joffrey disregards the regency order.
3. Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa) succumbs to a stillborn dragon-like child in Season 1's finale, causing Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) to burn Mirri Maz Duur (Mia Soteriou), responsible for his infertile state, alive in his funeral pyre.
4. Renly Baratheon (Stephen Dillane) is assassinated by a Shadow entity in Season 2's episode "The Ghost of Harrenhal."
5. Jeor Mormont (James Cosmo) dies during a skirmish at Crasters Keep in Season 3's episode "And Now His Watch Is Ended."
6. The most notorious massacre, the Red Wedding, occurs in Season 3's episode "The Rains of Castamere," where Robb Stark's (Rohan Richards) marriage is violently interrupted by Frey forces.
