10 Best Game Of Thrones Character Duos
6. Eddard And Robert
The first season of Game of Thrones introduced many great characters, but few were as entertaining to watch as Eddard and Robert.
Despite having not seen each other in nine years, these old friends had immediate chemistry together. Sean Bean and Mark Addy nailed their roles, with both actors perfectly capturing the core of their characters presented in George R. R. Martin’s source material.
As well as being an amusing duo, Eddard and Robert’s scenes were often wrought with conflict, which (if anything) was even more enjoyable to watch. Their quarrels stemmed from Eddard’s honourable instincts clashing with Robert’s desire to keep the Kingdom secure. Indeed, he was very much supportive of murdering Daenerys in order to keep her off the throne, whereas Eddard was strongly against such a proposal.
Though it’s unlikely we’ll ever see more from Eddard and Robert, a prequel focused on Robert’s Rebellion would be an ideal way of giving fans more of this memorable duo.
