in the more settle way is that it came back n bit him in the foot

[@BingleFlimp]

I'm really hoping the portrayal of Cregan Stark in the show is going to be as satisfying as it is in my head. A scary, angry, annoyed northerner that comes down to just shame and or kill the people he's annoyed who then just goes home. I really hope his presence at least intimidates everyone as much as it says in the books.

[@17Watman]

Ironic that it will be a Stark that executes the Clubfoot in King’s Landing.

[@liamcollins9183]

As Varys said, there's nothing more frightening than a truly just man. Cregan couldn't be swayed or bought off easily, Corlys had enough friends (and his legitimised son Alyn Velaryon commanding the fleet) to persuade him to grant Corlys mercy, but Larys didn't have such friends or allies.

This is what Ned should have done. Shown up in force. Second sons and every other spare of the North should have joined the Goldcloaks and taken to guard the Red Keep. Demand council positions for a vassal or two: Master of Coin for a Manderly. Commander of the Watch for a Karstark. Reprimand Stannis for not being present and order he return to the capital. And when he found out about the incest, he should have just called for the detainment of the children. If they die, they die.

[@riqu2551]

Nope. Cregan Stark is the true stark. He is cunning true to his sigil being a wolf. The truth is Stark is a dangerous noble house, being responsible for the extinction of around 4 or 5 noble houses in the north at the era before Aegon the conqueror become king. Ned stark on the other hand, even though he is a true stark by bloodline but not by how he acts because his father sends him to be fostered by Jon Arryn, he tends to act like a falcon which is Jon Arryn sigil rather than a wolf. He is very much being taught by Jon about the important of honor and honor solely, true to his house Arryn words, "as high as honor."

[@andilebless5533]

Cregan was only pissed he didn't get to fight.... But moreover that the courtiers had poisoned the king after swearing fealty to him because he was unwilling to comply with council. The clubfoot, Perkin, Orwyle, the kingsguard and The sea snake were to die if he had his way. Since Lord Jason was dead, and Borros dead, Storms End should bend this knee and cede land, and Casterly Rock should return the coin they received. Also the sea snake is a traitor as well, he was the queens hand and now is in with the greens who committed regicide.

I think that aegon is actually the bastard son of lyanna stark and rhaegar targaryen and lyanna and Ned named him Cregan Sand at the tower of joy. Cregan Stark being the stark Lord that formulated the pact of ice and fire with Prince Jacaerys velaryon and this birth being the closest realized idealisation of that pact is what leads me to believe this theory. Also Cregan Stark is the only Stark to rule in Kings landing during the hour of the wolf. Once young Griff/ aegon targaryen vi conquers westoros and sits the iron throne the pact is fulfilled. Cregan sand will be legitimized as CREGAN TARGARYEN!!!! First half blooded stark half blooded targaryen to rule the 7 kingdoms
