Game of Thrones: Everything that has happened so far in the HBO show

It can all get overwhelming. The show does not explain the backstory and the world overmuch — which is good, but it can spoil your immersion into the story unless you have read the books or the official guides provided by HBO. Also, there was no Game of Thrones last year. It has thus been two years since we last saw the show. Fret not, however, as here we are providing a brief summary of everything that has happened in the show so far. Not that it is an alternative to actually watching all the previous seasons, but it will certainly help you recall key events and characters if you have seen every episode so far. Season 1 The story begins in the North, in Winterfell, the ancestral castle of the house of Stark. The continent is Westeros. Lord Eddard Stark has two daughters and four sons (one of them a bastard). He is close friends with King Robert of the house Baratheon, who rules from King's Landing in the South. Robert and Eddard were foster brothers who took part in Robert's Rebellion, a war they waged against the Targaryen house, which was the ruling house before Baratheon. The reason was Eddard's sister was seemingly kidnapped and raped by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. Eddard's father and elder brother were also burned alive by the Mad King. Now, Robert asks Eddard to be the Hand of the King. Eddard agrees, not just because of Robert, but also because he receives a letter from his wife Catelyn's sister Lysa, who lived in King's Landing with her husband and the previous Hand Jon Arryn, but has escaped to Eyrie, her home. The letter says the Lannisters are conspiring against the throne. Eddard soon comes into conflict with the Lannisters in King's Landing, particularly when he is told that the Lannisters are behind the crippling of his youngest son, Bran Stark, who discovered Jaime and Cersei Lannister's incestuous relationship. Eddard is arrested and beheaded even as his daughters watch. King Robert had died earlier while hunting boars. Eddard's son Robb assumes the command of the Northern armies and declares war against the Lannisters Jon, Eddard's bastard, goes to the Wall to man it as a brother of the Night's Watch. Initially hating it, he comes to like the place especially when he realises the importance of his job. Beyond the Wall, which serves as a border of the realm, live the wildlings and the Whitewalkers, who are superhumanly strong beings who are almost impossible to kill. They are led by the Night King, who is the primary antagonist of the show. Road to Game of Thrones season 8: Bran Stark's journey Across the Narrow Sea, in Essos, is where the remnants of the Targaryens live — Viserys and his younger sister Daenerys. Danereys is given to Khal Drogo of the Dothraki, who she comes to love despite his savage ways. Viserys is killed by the Khal due to his invading the Dothraki sacred place. Dany is only relieved since he used to bully her. Drogo gets injured in a battle and dies. Dany walks into his funeral pyre and emerges unscathed, and with three dragons, who hatched from the three eggs that were given to her. Season 2 The youngest Lannister sibling, the dwarf Tyrion, is sent to King's Landing to serve as the Hand by his father, Lord Tywin. His sister is suspicious and contemptuous of him and the two engaged in a struggle of power. One of the Baratheons, Robert's brother Stannis has adopted the religion of the Lord of Light. He is in a sexual relationship with the priestess Melisandre, who burns people for fun. However, she also has great powers and gets Stannis' brother and rival Renly killed. var embedId = {jw:[],yt:[],dm:[]};function pauseVideos(vid){var players=Object.keys(embedId); players.forEach(function (key){var ids=embedId[key]; switch (key){case "jw": ids.forEach(function (id){if (id !=vid){var player = jwplayer(id); if(player.getState() === "playing"){player.pause();}}}); break; case "yt": ids.forEach(function (id){if (id !=vid){id.pauseVideo();}}); break;case "dm": ids.forEach(function (id){if (id !=vid && !id.paused){id.pause();}}); break;}});}var ytOnLoadFn=[];function onYouTubePlayerAPIReady(){ytOnLoadFn.forEach(function(name){window[name]();});}function onYTEmbedLoad(ytp){embedId.yt.push(ytp);ytp.addEventListener("onStateChange", function(event){if(event.data === YT.PlayerState.PLAYING)pauseVideos(ytp);});}function pause(){pauseVideos()}function ytsEF5cCzpAB4(){var p = new YT.Player("div_sEF5cCzpAB4", {height: document.body.offsetWidth * (9/16),width: document.body.offsetWidth,videoId: "sEF5cCzpAB4"}); onYTEmbedLoad(p)} ytOnLoadFn.push("ytsEF5cCzpAB4"); Robb Stark marches South with the Northern armies and defeats and captures Jaime Lannister. Theon Greyjoy, who was hostage among the Starks, is sent to Iron Islands by Robb to forge an alliance with his father Lord Balon Greyjoy. Instead his father sends him to capture Winterfell, which he does. Sansa, one of the Stark girls, is still at King's Landing, and Catelyn, who thinks the younger, fiercer Arya is also still there, sends Brienne of Tarth with Jaime to exchange him for her daughters. Arya, vengeful, is on the run and finally escapes to Braavos in Essos to train as an assassin. function ytOeOZg_wlHnM(){var p = new YT.Player("div_OeOZg_wlHnM", {height: document.body.offsetWidth * (9/16),width: document.body.offsetWidth,videoId: "OeOZg_wlHnM"}); onYTEmbedLoad(p)} ytOnLoadFn.push("ytOeOZg_wlHnM"); Stannis attacks King's Landing, but Tyrion defeats him with a little help from wildfire and the arrival of the Lannister army led by Tywin himself. Daenerys, across the Narrow Sea, is either burning cities to the ground or liberating the slaves from their masters.

Season 4 Joffrey dies in another lethal Game of Thrones wedding — this time between him and Margaery. The perpetrators are Littlefinger and Lady Olenna Tyrell (this we learn later), but Tyrion and Sansa are blamed. Sansa escapes with Littlefinger who takes her to Eyrie.

Littlefinger arranges for Sansa and Ramsay Bolton's marriage. Ramsay rapes Sansa on their wedding night. In King's Landing, Cersei is conspiring against Margaery.
