King in the North

Last updated January 04, 2026

King in the North or King of the North is a fictional title that is used in the HBO television series Game of Thrones , given to the King of the sovereign northern kingdom in Westeros. It is distinct from the similar title Warden of the North, held by the vassal of the Lord of the Seven Kingdoms.

While the independence of the North is never recognised by the Baratheon/Lannister monarchs, Robb Stark (season 1) and Jon Snow (season 6) are each proclaimed King in the North by the Northern lords. In Season 8, Sansa Stark officially becomes Queen in the North.
