Game Of Thrones: 10 Evil Acts Committed By Starks

The single act that acted as a catalyst causing years of war and death boils down to a Stark and a Targaryen.

Generations of young lords and ladies had been forced to marry for the sake of peace but Lyanna and Rhaegar chose to delve the world into chaos for love.

The intentions behind the marriage are also shaky at best as Rhaegar was paranoid about completing the prophecy of the Prince that was promised and needed a new heir.

Lyanna, however, fell head over heels for the young dragon following the Tourney at Harrenhal. It was after this fateful meeting that the established order of Westeros would be forever changed.

Not only did she run away, but failed to let any of her family know of her decision thus causing her father and brother to march south to their deaths. The secrecy was likely due to the fact that Rhaegar was already married to Elia Martell which Lyanna would have been well aware of.

While their union brought about the birth of Jon Snow, completing the prophecy, the question remains, was it worth it?

If the final season was anything to go on then the world didn't need a half Targaryen savior, Anya would still have been born to fulfil her "destiny".
