Every Person Who Didn’t Deserve To Die In Game Of Thrones

From Shireen Baratheon being burned alive to Oberyn Martell having his head crushed, this video explores the most tragic and undeserved deaths in Game of Thrones, characters whose lives ended not because they were evil, but because of betrayal, pride, cruelty, or fate.

We break down each character’s story, their final moments, and how their survival could have changed Westeros forever.

1. Ned Stark

Betrayed by Littlefinger, forced to confess false treason, and executed by Joffrey at the Great Sept of Baelor (S1E9). His death triggered the War of the Five Kings and destroyed House Stark’s stability.

2. Catelyn, Robb & Talisa Stark

The Red Wedding betrayal at the Twins (S3E9). Talisa and her unborn child are murdered, Robb is stabbed by Roose Bolton, and Catelyn is executed moments later — ending the Northern rebellion.

3. Oberyn Martell

Defeats the Mountain in combat but delays the kill for a confession, allowing Gregor to reverse the fight and crush his skull (S4E8). His death wipes out House Martell’s political power.

4. Ygritte

Jon Snow’s first love is killed by Olly during the Battle of Castle Black (S4E9), dying in Jon’s arms after saying “You know nothing, Jon Snow.”

5. Shireen Baratheon

Burned alive by her own father, Stannis, as a sacrifice to the Lord of Light (S5E9). Her death destroys Stannis’ cause and shatters his army.

6. Myrcella Baratheon

Poisoned by Ellaria Sand in Dorne just after reconciling with Jaime (S5E10). Her death pushes Cersei further into madness.

7. Tommen Baratheon

After witnessing the destruction of the Great Sept and the death of Margaery, Tommen commits suicide by jumping from his window (S6E10). His death gives Cersei unchecked power.

8. Missandei

Captured by Cersei and publicly executed despite surrender negotiations (S8E4). Her final word, “Dracarys,” pushes Daenerys toward burning King’s Landing.

9. Ser Jorah Mormont

Dies protecting Daenerys from wights during the Battle of Winterfell (S8E3), falling in the arms of the woman he loved.

10. Maester Luwin

Mortally wounded during Theon’s takeover of Winterfell, helps Bran and Rickon escape before asking Osha to end his suffering (S2E10).
