Game of Thrones: The King in the North

Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 10 The Winds of Winter

Realizing that Jon has proven his worth by retaking Winterfell, the Northern lords, Knights of the Vale, and wildlings declare Jon the new King in the North, while Sansa sits next to him, she smirks at Littlefinger as his plans fall apart but then frowns with worry as she notices the glare he is giving Jon.

LORD MANDERLY: Lady Mormont speaks harshly and truly. My son died for Robb Stark, the Young Wolf. I didn’t think we’d find another king in my lifetime. I didn’t commit my men to your cause ’cause I didn’t want more Manderlys dying for nothing. But I was wrong. Jon Snow avenged the Red Wedding. He is the White Wolf. The King in the North.
LORD GLOVER: I did not fight beside you on the field and I will regret that until my dying day. A man can only admit when he was wrong and ask forgiveness.
JON: There’s nothing to forgive, my lord.
LORD GLOVER: There will be more fights to come. House Glover will stand behind House Stark as we have for a thousand years. And I will stand behind Jon Snow… the King in the North!
MAN: The King in the North!
ALL: The King in the North! The King in the North! The King in the North! The King in the North!

Game of Thrones: Jon and the Lords of the North

Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 10 The Winds of Winter

At Winterfell, Jon gathers the various Northern lords, the knights of the Vale, and the Wildlings to plan for the upcoming invasion by the White Walkers. However, there is discord as the Northerners and knights of the Vale are distrustful of the Wildlings and would prefer to return to their castles to wait out the coming winter. Jon warns them that this winter cannot be endured if they do not stand together to fight the White Walkers. Lyanna Mormont then speaks up, shaming the various Northern lords for standing by and doing nothing when Jon called for their aid.

JON: The free folk, the northerners, and the Knights of the Vale fought bravely, fought together, and we won. My father used to say we find our true friends on the battlefield.
LORD CERWYN: The Boltons are defeated. The war is over. Winter has come. If the maesters are right, it’ll be the coldest one in a thousand years. We should ride home and wait out the coming storms.
JON: The war is not over. And I promise you, friend, the true enemy won’t wait out the storm. He brings the storm.

LADY MORMONT: Your son was butchered at the Red Wedding, Lord Manderly, but you refused the call. You swore allegiance to House Stark, Lord Glover, but in their hour of greatest need, you refused the call. And you, Lord Cerwyn, your father was skinned alive by Ramsay Bolton. Still you refused the call. But House Mormont remembers. The North remembers. We know no king but the King in the North whose name is Stark. I don’t care if he’s a bastard. Ned Stark’s blood runs through his veins. He’s my king from this day until his last day.

Game of Thrones: Lady Lyanna Mormont

Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 07 The Broken Man

Jon Snow, Sansa and Ser Davos manage to secure the allegiance of House Mormont when Davos warns the young Lady Lyanna Mormont of the dangers the White Walkers pose.

Ser Davos: Your uncle, Lord Commander Mormont, made that man his steward. He chose Jon to be his successor because he knew he had the courage to do what was right, even if it meant giving his life. Because Jeor Mormont and Jon Snow both understood that the real war isn’t between a few squabbling houses. It’s between the living and the dead. And make no mistake, my lady, the dead are coming.
Lady Lyanna: Is this true?
Jon: Your uncle fought them at the Fist of the First Men. I fought them at Hardhome. We both lost.
Ser Davos: As long as the Boltons hold Winterfell, the North is divided. And a divided North won’t stand a chance against the Night King. You want to protect your people, my lady. I understand. But there’s no hiding from this. We have to fight and we need to do it together.
Lady Lyanna: House Mormont has kept faith with House Stark for 1,000 years. We will not break faith today.
Jon: Thank you, my lady. How many fighting men can we expect?
Lady Lyanna: 62.
Jon: 62?
Lady Lyanna: We are not a large house, but we’re a proud one. And every man from Bear Island fights with the strength of 10 mainlanders.
Ser Davos: If they’re half as ferocious as their lady, the Boltons are doomed.
