Den of the Wolf
Chapter I - A History of Violence
It was over 4 millenia before the arrival of Aegon the Dragon upon the coast of Westeros that our story begun. And it begun, as it will so often be the case, with blood.
King Rickard, who men called the Laughing Wolf, for all kings of the time bore such titles instead of numbers, took his last breath.
Before his body was cold a rider departed Winterfell, then still far from the great keep of modern day, but already a great fortress of renown. The rider was alone and in great hurry, for he was chased by another man, who bore a banner of a Wolf´s Maw and fifty men-at-arms alongside him. The rider was caught, not too long after. He fought and finally begged for his life, but the bearer of the Wolf´s Maw would hear none of it. He stripped the rider down to his innocence, and with a sharp blade cut of his manhood.
The eunuch, was brought back in chains to Winterfell, and his genitals were hung from the Castle´s main gate. His name was Brandon, and he had been Rickard´s eldest son. The man who did the cutting was his younger brother, Theon, who men would acclaim as the new "King of Winter", and who is known to history as "The Hungry Wolf".
"The Gelding", as the custom was called, was not uncommon among the northern lords, who feared kinslaying above all other sins. Nor was the last time that it would be practiced by Stark upon Stark. Brandon lived, though he was no longer a man, not by northern standards, and he would spend the rest of his days a servant.
King Rickard had, if the sagas are to be believed, been a merry man of easy disposition.
Theon Stark was of a different brood.
The King of Winter would mirror the deed of his Grandfather, King Jon, and reconquer the White Knive, clearing it of Andal raiders and turning the most fertile land in the north into a loyal demense. He would preserve the loyalty of the Marsh lords of the Neck, whom his father had won over, and break the Rhyswell Rebellion in its infancy, retaining his kingship of the Rills. All this before the age of 25. Greater still would be when he broke the power of the Red Kings of the Red Hills. The Boltons had for millenia been ancient rivals to House Stark, ruling the eastern coast of the North. Rogar the Hunter, who bore Theon's grandfather as a cloak, would be defeated in the battle of the Pink Hill . His babes taken to Winterfell as hostages, his red crown of bronze and rubies melted, his kingdom eaten. When Beron the Beast scaled the walls with a wildling army and sacked Castle Black, Theon met them with an army and hanged the bodies of each savage from Wall for their kin to see, before installing his 10 year old nephew Osric as Lord Commander.
All this bloodletting would earn the Hungry Wolf a reputation, one he would temper with frequent travels through his domains, earning loyalty of those that were once merely neighbors to the Wolf Kings of Winter. He would dine with the Northern Mountain Clans, the first Stark to do so in recorded history, and drink mead on the hall of the Bear King of Bear Island, using the skull of Ravos the Raper (whom he killed in single-handed combat) as a cup, after which the Bear King pledged him his allegiance. "The men of the North", it has been said in many a tavern, "respect brutality and feasting above all else". By the time the Hungry Wolf was 40, the North was unified under one King for the first time in its history, ruled from the neck to the Wall by the power of Winterfell and its ever stronger warlord, to whom bannerman flocked in search of glory and gold.
Yet the reason why Theon Stark would have his names carved in the history books all the way down in Dorne until the end of times came later in his reign. The Coming of the Andals was not, as some songs would put it, a quick affair. The migrations from Andalos towards Westeros took place over 5 centuries, starting first with the Vale, and then slowly proceeding inwards (most respectable Maesters place it between 4200-3700 BC). King Jon Stark was the first to repell Andal invaders from the White Knive, and raids would not be uncommon thereafter. When Argos Sevenstars landed in the eastern coast with an army of Andal warriors, he must have thought of himself as a new Falcon Knight. Southern Singers frequently paint Argos as a heroic and pious hero, seeking to bring the faith of the Seven to the northern heathens. Reality was likely less idealistic, and land, not souls, was likely the goal of the Sevenstar. A new Artys Arryn, however, this adventurer was not, as in the battle of the Weeping Water the largest northern army ever seen in history washed over the Andal invaders, leaving no man alive. Crueler even was the Hungry Wolf's retribution for the invasion of his kingdom. With a fleet that must have cost the North half of its eastern forests, Theon Stark raided the coast of Andalos for 2 years, littering its coastline with andal heads on spikes.
It was on his way back to the northern coasts that a powerful storm pushed his fleet southward. Theon would land on the Three Sisters, islands between the North and the Vale of Arryn. From that moment henceforth the Starks would claim the Sisters, cleansing the island of its andal overlords and handing it over to loyal sitermen of first-men descent. It would not be long after that he would return to his ancestral keep of Winterfell with news of the death of his son and heir Jorah (whom they called the Lame Wolf).
As Theon Stark warred, his court was ruled by councellors of all sorts, not all of the male variety. Most notorious was the lady Donella Bolton, one of the babes given to the Starks as a hostage. As cold and cunning as she was beautiful, the Lady Bolton would find herself married to the King's eldest son and the de facto power within Winterfell when the Hungry Wolf was gone (and gone he was often). As the health of the health of Theon deteriorated, questions of succession were brought forward. The Lady Donella would (aggressively) defend the claim of her infant son Edrick, conceived only days before the death of Jorah, if the stories are to be believed (some have claimed the child the son of a servant, a product of witchcraft, or even an product of adultery with the Hungry Wolf himself).
Theon's other sons would disagree. The young wolf would not live to see the issue settled. He would die on the eve of a great winter. Before his body lay cold, two riders would depart Winterfell in a hurry. They would soon be caught and stripped down to their innocence. Their manhoods would be cut off and hanged from the gates of Winterfell. For the next 16 years the Lady Donella would rule as Regent of the North for her son, the babe King Edrick, whom history would know as Edrick Snowbeard, and whose reign would see House Stark reach its highest and lowest points.

Part of The Meddling Monk Series

"Operation Dread Spectre was one of the final battles of the Belgo-Eurasian War. The raid was a clandestine attack by specially trained commando forces on the heavy water enrichment facility located on the estate of the wealthy Montpelier family. With the Belgian Army in tatters, and Eurasian forces closing on Calais, the Kingdom of England's withdrawal from the war on the continent a week after the raid was a surprise only to William Churchill, English chief minister and leader of the pro-war Royal Party. England's nuclear program, which they had been relying on to win the war, would never really recover.
It remains a subject of debate as to whether the local Irish civilian population had any hand in assisting the Eurasian raid. Vassily O'Higgins, a captain in the Eurasian People's Commandos, was of Irish heritage (his father defected from an Anglo-Irish penal regiment when the Eurasians overran Germany in the 1920s)."

Liking this series so far. Hoping for future Prime Ministers Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson at some point.

I love reading about AGoT lore when they're were multiple different kings. This is amazing. Do you have any plans to do more of this?

The first wikibox I made and published in the series was actually for the 1923 election, in which Theodore Roosevelt was the incoming and outgoing prime minister. So that was one was predictable enough.

Ooh pity. Really thought we would get Governor Bernie in '72.

But I guess I really am that predictable, since FDR and LBJ both also ended up as PMs in future elections. After the 1800's this wikibox TL gets really predictable and boring IMO though. I was thinking about ending it after the 1923 election but I may keep going into the 2001 election.

States in yellow elected a majority or plurality of Republican MPs, states in blue elected a majority or plurality of Democratic MPs, states in dark green elected a majority or plurality of Populist MPs, states in purple elected an equal amount of Democratic and Republican MPs, and states in light green elected an equal amount of Republican and Populist MPs.

EDIT: Because no wikibox is ever complete without a stupid fuck-up, the order of the day is the leader since dates. Weaver is correctly cited as leader since 1889, but Palmer has been leader since 1882 and Edmunds since 1885.
