Notable Deaths on Game of Thrones

As of 1 July 2016

Mostly Westeros, but a few others at the end. Note that I'm only considering the TV series here, and that I'm not trying to be super precise (i.e. there are certainly errors and omissions).

I just tried to come up with a list when I realised that all the 5 Kings were dead, and that being an important person in Westeros was dangerous. In fact, there are only two natural deaths in the list.

Kings

  • Tommen Baratheon (suicide)
  • Robert Baratheon (suspicious "accident")
  • Mance Rayder (executed)
  • Renly Baratheon (murdered by Brother)
  • Rob Stark (murdered)
  • Joffrey Baratheon (murdered by Great Aunt and Master of Coin)
  • Stannis Baratheon (killed at the end of a battle)
  • Balon Greyjoy (murdered by Brother)

Note: the last 5 above represent all involved in the War of the Five Kings

Queens

  • Margery Tyrell (murdered by wildfire at the Sept of Baelor)

Hands

  • Jon Arryn (murdered by Wife)
  • Ned Stark (executed by King)
  • Tywin Lannister (murdered by Son)

House rulers

  • Rickard Karstark (executed by King)
  • Lysa Arryn (murdered by Husband)
  • Catelyn Stark (murdered)
  • Roose Bolton (murdered by Son)
  • Ramsey Bolton (eaten alive by his dogs via Sansa)
  • Doran Martell (murdered by "Sister in Law")
  • Oberyn Martell (killed in a trial by combat)
  • Trystane Martell (murdered by "Cousins")
  • Hoster Tully (NATURAL DEATH FROM OLD AGE!!)
  • Mace Tyrell (murdered by wildfire at the Sept of Baelor)
  • Loras Tyrell (murdered by wildfire at the Sept of Baelor)
  • Kevan Lannister (murdered by wildfire at the Sept of Baelor)
  • Walder Frey (murdered)
  • Rickon Stark (murdered)
  • Rickard Karstark (executed for treason)
  • Harald Karstark (killed in battle)
  • The Blackfish (killed in battle)

Lord Commanders of the Night's Watch

  • Jon Snow (murdered by mutineering soliders)

Royal Guards of some sort

  • Jory Cassel (murdered)
  • Vardis Egen (killed in trial by combat)
  • Areo Hotah (murdered)
  • Mandon Moore (killed in battle while trying to assasinate the Hand of the King)

Was never dead

  • Sandor "The Hound" Clegane (was not killed in battle)

Maesters

  • Maester Luwin / Winterfell (stabbed in battle, then a compassionate murder by Osha)
  • Maester Aemon / Castle Black (NATURAL DEATH FROM OLD AGE!!)
  • Maester Cresson / Dragonstone (killed himself while attempting a murder)
  • Maester Pycell (murdered by children)

Religious folk

  • The High Sparrow (murdered by wildfire at the Sept of Baelor)
  • Lancel Lannister (murdered by wildfire at the Sept of Baelor)
  • Septa Unella (technically alive but would be better off dead)

  • Black Walder Frey (murdered)

Direwolves

  • Grey Wind (slaughtered)
  • Lady (killed)
  • Shaggy Dog (killed)

Giants

Non-Westeros

  • Viserys Targaryen - Wannabe King (murdered by a Dothraki Khal)
  • Drogo - Dothraki Khal (killed by a combination of his own stupidity and magic, but ultimately compassionately murdered by his Khaleesi)
  • Most/All of Daenerys Bloodriders (battle, elements, etc)
  • All the remaining Dothraki Khals (murdered by Daenerys)
  • A fair few slave masters who were stupid enough to cross Daenerys
