Top Ten Saddest Game of Thrones Deaths

The Top Ten
Ned Stark Eddard "Ned" Stark is a fictional character in the first book of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series of fantasy novels and the first season of its television adaptation.

Beheaded by order of Joffrey for claiming that Joffrey wasn't Robert's true heir. Robert even asked Ned how he could have made a son like that. Apparently, he didn't struggle so his daughters wouldn't suffer. Sansa and Arya were there pleading as well.

Hodor's death was really sad as well, defending Bran and the others in a noble last stand. When Robb got stabbed, it was heartbreaking, and his wife... she was pregnant. Oberyn died nobly, and Jon Snow was stabbed in the heart by his own Steward, a teenager. Just before he stabbed him, Jon was like, 'Please.'

Robb Stark Robb Stark is a fictional character in the A Song of Ice and Fire series of fantasy novels by American author George R. R. Martin, and its television adaptation Game of Thrones.
Hodor

His entire life from around age 15 revolved around this one moment, this one job, and he did it. He held the door. I actually cried watching this.

Shireen Baratheon

The only scene where I cried in the show was while watching that dreadful death of hers. Stannis lost all my respect.

For me, the only death in Game of Thrones which was hard to watch.

Catelyn Stark

The entire Red Wedding was shown from her point of view, and she saw her son die in front of her.

So sad and brutal. She did everything for her family.

Oberyn Martell Oberyn Martell is a fictional character in the A Song of Ice and Fire series of fantasy novels by American author George R. R. Martin, and its television adaptation Game of Thrones.
Lady Talisa

For me, her death was the most brutal, painful, and beastly to see. She was not my favorite character, but I became fond of her. Regardless if Robb was immature and reckless and has somehow caused this infamous incident, it's as sad and tragic as moments before. She and Robb were dreaming about their son or daughter. So moments later, she is brutally stabbed in the womb several times and bleeds to death before Robb's eyes. Every knife's stroke she received struck deep my soul. It took me hours to recover from this scene.

Jon Snow Jon Snow is a fictional character in the A Song of Ice and Fire series of fantasy novels by American author George R. R. Martin, and its television adaptation Game of Thrones.

It's weird, but I'm glad he's dead. His story reached an end, yet the show must go on. He was my favorite character though, RIP Lord Commander.

Khal Drogo Khal Drogo is a fictional character in the A Song of Ice and Fire series of fantasy novels by American author George R. R. Marton.
Ygritte Ygritte is a fictional character in the A Song of Ice and Fire series of fantasy novels by American author George R. R. Martin, and its television adaptation Game of Thrones.

I loved her. Her northern accent was the best yet, and to add to her fantastic voice, her phrases such as "You know nothing Jon Snow" were on point. I felt like murdering the boy who shot her with an arrow. He spoiled a moment so magical. Though she was ready to kill Jon, I don't think she could do it. Her love for him was a soft touch too.

Her and Jon were so good together.

The Newcomers

? Daenerys Targaryen Daenerys Targaryen is a fictional character in George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels, as well as the television adaptation.

Daenerys was my favorite character in the show. She obviously has the saddest death and is iconic to the series. She's the reason I, and many others, watched Game of Thrones.

? Varys
The Contenders
Viserys Targaryen Viserys Targaryen is a fictional character in the A Song of Ice and Fire series of fantasy novels by American author George R. R. Martin, and its television adaptation Game of Thrones.

I kind of feel sorry for him. I mean, he must have felt so betrayed when he begged Dany to help him, but she said no. Having molten gold poured over your head is extremely painful.

Am I the only one who actually likes him?

Maester Luwin

Underrated character. The Stark boys loved him like a grandfather.

Rickon Stark
The Hound Sandor Clegane, nicknamed The Hound, is a fictional character in the A Song of Ice and Fire series of fantasy novels by American author George R. R. Martin, and its television adaptation Game of Thrones.
Rodrik Cassel
Robert Baratheon
Lord Commander Jeor Mormont
Barristan Selmy

Never seen such disrespect to a character or an actor for that matter. He lived his life as a knight. He should have died a knight.

Pypar
Myrcella Baratheon
Olenna Tyrell
Eddard II (Baby Eddard)
Margaery Tyrell Margaery Tyrell is a fictional character in the A Song of Ice and Fire series of high fantasy novels by American author George R. R. Martin, and its television adaptation Game of Thrones.

Possibly the best player of the game of thrones and was a true force to be reckoned with. Such a tragic loss.

Petyr Baelish Petyr Baelish, nicknamed Littlefinger, is a fictional character in the A Song of Ice and Fire series of fantasy novels by American author George R. R. Martin, and its television adaptation Game of Thrones.

I'm still not over it. I'll never be over it. Best character on the show.
