Explosive scenes teased in Game of Thrones s7 e2 trailer

Game of Thrones might have finished last year on a controversial note but some fans want to know about the family trees between the great houses. Some of these Westeros families are interconnected with the big connection between the Starks and the Targaryens thanks to Jon Snow (played by Kit Harington) and Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke). Here’s a look at the family trees and lineage of the houses.

House Stark

The late Eddard ‘Ned’ Stark (Sean Bean) and his wife Catelyn (Michelle Fairley) had five children: Robb (Richard Madden), Sansa (Sophie Turner), Arya (Maisie Williams), Bran and Rickon (Art Parkinson).

Ned also claimed Jon Snow as his illegitimate child, but as we now know, Jon is in fact the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen.

Season seven saw Jon proclaimed King in the North with Sansa at his side but he eventually bent the knee to Daenerys for her help.

He also told Danerys about their family ties which didn’t seem to faze her. However, Jon ended things with her after finding out they were committing incest.

The epic Battle of Winterfell saw the Night King (Vladimir Furdik) finally defeated and the Other stopped once and for all.

Game of Thrones: Targaryen family tree (Image: EXPRESS / HBO)

House Targaryen

The former ruling family of Westeros – until the Mad King Aerys II (David Rintoul) was killed by his own kingsguard Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau).

Daenerys is thought to be the only surviving member of the Targaryen clan and has returned to Westeros take her rightful place on the Iron Throne.

Although she took power, her line ended after Jon killed her in season eight not long after she committed an atrocity and burnt King’s Landing in a moment of madness.

House Lannister

The Lannisters were surrounded by enemies on all sides, and after the deaths of King Joffrey (Jack Gleeson), King Tommen (Dean Charles-Chapman) and Princess Myrcella (Nell Tiger-Free), were left without an heir.

Cersei and her brother-lover Jaime had been holed up in King’s Landing, while their outcast brother Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) had teamed up with Daenerys to take them down.

Sadly, season eight saw the Lannisters nearly extinguished after Cersei and Jaime died together in the ruins of the Red Keep, which caved in on them.

Tyrion is the last remaining Lannister now left and it’s unclear whether he will carry on the line of his family.

Game of Thrones: Greyjoy family tree (Image: EXPRESS / HBO)

House Greyjoy

Euron Greyjoy (Pilou Asbaek) murdered his brother Balon (Patrick Malahide) and took his niece Yara (Gemma Whelan) captive.

Theon (Alfie Allen) vowed to rescue his sister, who otherwise faced certain death at the hands of her uncle.

Both siblings are still alive and returned to Pyke in season eight to rule over the Iron Islands.

Game of Thrones: Baratheon family tree (Image: EXPRESS / HBO)

House Baratheon

King Robert Baratheon (Mark Addy) had three children with his wife Cersei, but all three were actually fathered by her brother Jaime.

He had many illegitimate children, but all bar one were killed on King Joffrey’s orders.

Gendry (Joe Dempsie) is the only remaining Baratheon heir and it’s unclear what happened to him at the end of Game of Thrones.

He had a liaison with Arya Stark but the pair later went their separate ways.

Game of Thrones: Tyrell family tree (Image: EXPRESS / HBO)

House Tyrell

House Tyrell became extinct when Jaime Lannister killed Olenna Redwyne (Diana Rigg) – but not before she admitted to poisoning his son, Joffrey.

Margaery (Natalie Dormer), Loras (Finn Jones) and Mace Tyrell were all killed when Queen Cersei blew up the Sept of Baelor.

Highgarden and its family appear to be very much dead and gone now.

Game of Thrones: Martell family tree (Image: EXPRESS / HBO)

House Martell

Oberyn Martell’s (Pedro Pascal) death at the hands of The Mountain was one of the most gruesome scenes in Game of Thrones’ history.

It left his wife Ellaria (Indira Varma) and his daughters, the Sand Snakes, as the only remaining members of the family.

Obara and Nymeria were murdered by Euron Greyjoy, who also captured Ellaria and Tyene and took them to King’s Landing.

There, Cersei poisoned Tyene and left Ellaria locked in a dungeon to witness her daughter die.

Game of Thrones: Tully family tree (Image: EXPRESS / HBO)

House Tully

The Tullys are another family close to extinction.

Edmure (Tobias Menzies) and his wife Roslin (née Frey) are the only heirs of the late Lord Hoster, however, Edmure was held prisoner at The Twins since the Red Wedding.

Unfortunately for him, his niece Arya seemed unaware of his plight when she travelled to The Twins to kill Walder and the Freys.

Edmure seemed to survive although House Frey is now pretty much gone thanks to Arya.

Game of Thrones: Arryn family tree (Image: EXPRESS / HBO)

Winds of Winter update: Is The Winds of Winter finished?

House Arryn

Petyr Baelish (Aidan Gillen) married Lysa Tully after the death of her first husband Jon Arryn.

This gave him influence over Lysa’s son Robin, the Lord of the Vale of Arryn.

In season six, Robin sent his army, The Knights of the Vale, to defend his cousin Sansa Stark from House Bolton in the Battle of the Bastards.

Petyr then attempted to turn Sansa on her sister Arya, but his manipulation backfired and he was executed.

Robin is now one of the main lords of Westeros since it became the Six Kingdoms.

The Importance of Speaking Up: One Woman’s Journey to Chronic Heart Failure Diagnosis

June 28, 2022 by www.chron.com Leave a Comment

(BPT) – Despite having asthma, Nichole Steward (pictured, right) considered herself a typical 39-year-old living an active life, frequently visiting the beach and participating in roller derby. Though she was surprised when she began experiencing heart palpitations, shortness of breath, and fatigue, Nichole figured that it was nothing serious and might resolve on its own.

As many women do, Nichole tried to explain away her symptoms. The heart palpitations could be due to stress and caffeine, and her constant exhaustion was likely related to her asthma. But when her symptoms persisted, Nichole decided to visit her primary care provider.

Her doctor initially concluded that the symptoms were likely associated with stress and anxiety. However, Nichole, remaining mindful of her family’s history of heart disease, was not ready to accept that answer, and requested additional testing and a referral to a cardiologist.

Prioritizing herself

In June 2018, after the testing she advocated for, Nichole was diagnosed with chronic heart failure , a long-lasting condition that worsens over time. Heart failure affects six million Americans, and its prevalence is on the rise as the population ages.

Chronic heart failure can change the structure and/or function of the heart and places patients at risk for hospitalization. News of her diagnosis sparked fear and shock for Nichole. “I was worried I had received a death sentence,” she says.

Once diagnosed, Nichole received support from her family and health care team, including a new cardiologist who empowered her to proactively manage her condition. Together, they developed a treatment plan that was right for her, including eating a low-salt diet, maintaining regular physical activity, managing her stress, and taking medicines. As part of her treatment regimen, Nichole takes a medicine specifically made for heart failure called ENTRESTO ^® (sacubitril/valsartan) , which helps reduce the risk of death and hospitalization in adults with chronic, heart failure, and works better when the heart cannot pump a normal amount of blood to the body. ENTRESTO is the number one heart failure brand prescribed by cardiologists. Like all medicines, ENTRESTO is not for everyone, including those who are or plan to become pregnant. See below for Important Safety Information.

By advocating for herself, working with her cardiologist, and surrounding herself with a strong support system, Nichole has come to terms with her diagnosis.

An all-too-common story

Unfortunately, Nichole’s story is not unique; women with heart failure can face challenges such as delayed diagnosis and treatment. Nichole encourages women to prioritize their health and stand up for themselves if they don’t feel heard. “It is so important for people — all people, but especially women — to pay attention to their body and any symptoms they may be experiencing,” she says. “As women, we often tend to just suck it up and deal with it.”

Women living with heart failure often report a poorer quality of life than men. It is important for women to prioritize their health and well-being, despite the many other competing priorities in their day-to-day lives.

Today, Nichole continues to live a happy life that she is proud of, and enjoys spending time with loved ones and working at her own small business — a spiritual and metaphysical boutique — and her full-time job. Hospitalizations are common for people with heart failure, so she keeps her treatment plan top of mind. While everyone’s experience is different, since starting ENTRESTO, Nichole has continued to stay out of the hospital for heart failure.

Nichole encourages those currently living with heart failure to work with their health care provider to determine a treatment plan that is right for them.

What is ENTRESTO?

ENTRESTO is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with long-lasting (chronic) heart failure to help reduce the risk of death and hospitalization. ENTRESTO works better when the heart cannot pump a normal amount of blood to the body.
