Oh Ned, dear sweet Ned. Sean Bean’s original King in the North seems like a lifetime ago, and Game of Thrones literally changed the landscape of dramatic television when they devastatingly killed their lead hero before the end of the first season. We still love you, Ned, the North remembers!

Just when we thought we had found a new Stark hero to follow all the way to the Iron Throne, the show had very different ideas and broke our hearts all over again!

And speaking of that infamous episode… you thought your favorite female characters were safe from these horrors? Think again!

Over the seasons little Shireen Baratheon had become a favorite thanks to her sweet friendship with Ser Davos. We watched her come out of her shell to teach him how to read, which is why our hearts broke even harder when her PARENTS agreed to burn her at the stake under the persuasion of the Red Woman. One of the most upsetting scenes in the history of Game of Thrones.

We should have known that the presence of sexy, sultry, super bad ass Oberyn Martell was too good to be true, because this is Game of Thrones and Game of Thrones doesn’t let us have nice things! We wanted nothing more than for Oberyn to get the revenge he craved for the death of his sister, but in doing so he let his guard down and suffered one of the most horrific on screen deaths to date at the hands of the Mountain!

It seems apt to end the list on yet another Stark, that poor family has really been through the mill!
