Brandon Stark’s Daughters
This post examines the possibility of Dalla, queen to Mance Rayder, and her sister Val, the “wildling princess” being daughters of Ned’s late brother Brandon Stark. If so, they are of great importance to the narrative because in the event of an absence of suitable heirs to Winterfell, they (and baby Aemon) can be seen as possible propagators of the Stark line through female inheritance.
