STARK WEEK | one member (preasoiaf) – Torrhen Stark 

Torrhen’s scouts had reported seeing the ruins of Harrenhal, and Torrhen had heard accounts of the Field of Fire as well. While some of his lords urged him to attack, he realised that a similar fate would await him, should he force a crossing. Torrhen crossed the Trident, where he knelt and laid his crown at the feet of Aegon I Targaryen, and swore fealty. For his surrender, he was named the Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North. Ever since, Torrhen is known as the King Who Knelt.
