Rank 9: Cregan Stark
Cregan Stark was Lord of Winterfell during the “Dance of the Dragons,” the famous civil war of the Targaryens. We also see him in the sequel series “House of the Dragon.” At the beginning of Season 2, he makes a pact with Jacerys and pledges his support, making it a powerful alliance for Rhaenyra’s side.

This is how it goes on with Cregan Stark
Despite all promises, Cregan took his time with his help. By the time he arrived in the South with his army, the war was essentially over. Both Rhaenyra and Aegon II were dead. Aegon III, the eldest son of Rhaenyra and Daemon, was crowned as the new king.
Although Cregan was technically a supporter of the Blacks, he did not want to accept the treacherous murder of Aegon II. The legendary “Hour of the Wolf” occurred. For six days, Cregan held the city in an iron grip. He briefly became Hand of the King, acted against the traitors, executed them, and then simply returned to the North. Because although he could have, it was never about power in the South for him. He just wanted to ensure justice and order – a classic Stark.
