    Ned Stark
    Thank you.

    Sorry to be nuisance but doesn't that say that at one time 'Ice' was owned by The House of Stark, not who owned it when it was melted down?

    Sorry just realised that what I wrote doesn't make sense.

    What I meant to say was that the article doesn't seem to specifically say that the sword 'Ice' belonged to Ned Stark, nor that it was owned by him at the time it was melted down.

    Please clarify.

    Ice was owned by the House of Stark & after Ned’s death, Tywin Lannister melted it down to make two smaller swords, Oathkeeper and Widow’s Wail.


    Tarly's sword is Heartsbane
    Mormont's sword is Longclaw ( he gave it to Jon Snow )
