Robb of House Stark is the oldest son and heir of Eddard Stark, Lord of Winterfell and Lady Catelyn of House Tully. He is currently fourteen. (GoT)

283 AL Robb was born and also his half brother Jon Snow.

290 AL His younger brother Brandon was born. While Eddard was off at war in the south, Catelyn remained in Riverrun with their infant son Robb. When Catelyn and Robb rode to Winterfill Robb's bastard brother Jon Snow and his wet nurse had already taken up residence.

294 AL His younger brother Rickon was born.

Gared, a deserter from the Night's Watch, was captured outside a small holdfast near Winterfell. Eddard rode out with Robb Stark, Brandon Stark, Jon Snow, Theon Greyjoy, Jory Cassel, Hullen and Harwin and 12 others to see justice done. This was the first time Bran was allowed to witness an execution. Eddard condemned Gared to death and beheaded him with Ice. Jon and Robb raced to the bridge on the way back. There they found a dead direwolf, killed by a broken antler, and her five pups. Eddard allowed each of his trueborn chidren to keep a pup each. As they were leaving Jon discovered a sixth pup, an albino, which he keept as his own.

The children gathered in the kitchen to argue about the names for the pups.

Robert Baratheon, King of the Seven Kingdoms arrived at Winterfell. Among the three hundred travelling with him were Queen Cersei, Prince Joffrey Baratheon, Princess Myrcella Baratheon, Prince Tommen Baratheon, Ser Jaime Lannister, two other knights of the Kingsguard, Tyrion Lannister and Sandor Clegane.They were met at the gates by Lord Eddard, Lady Catelyn and the children. On Robert's request he and Eddard left the others and went down to the crypt.

A feast was held in the Great Hall of Winterfell. The royal family entered the hall in procession, Lord Stark first escorting the queen followed by King Robert and Lady Stark. Then came the children, Rickon, Robb and Myrcella, Arya and Tommen and Sansa and Joffrey. After them came Ser Jaime and Tyrion Lannister. Last came Benjen Stark and Theon Greyjoy. Lord and Lady Stark hosted the king and queen on a raised platform beneath which sat the Stark and royal children. The children were not permitted to bring their wolves.

Ser Rodrik Cassel told Lord Eddard Stark that there were bad feeling between Robb Stark and Prince Joffrey.

Robb and Bran went practicing in the yard with Prince Joffrey and Prince Tommen. Bran fought Prince Tommen, both clad in heavy padding and with wooden swords, watched over by Ser Rodrik Cassel, the master-at-arms. Among the spectators were Robb Stark and Theon Greyjoy and Prince Joffrey, surrounded by knights and squires in Baratheon and Lannister livery. Prince Tommen fell rolling to the ground. Ser Rodrik broke off the fight and told Lew and Donnis to help Bran and Tommen out of their armor. Ser Rodrik suggested Robb and Joffrey fight another round, Robb agreed, but Joffrey refused to fight more with wooden swords, proposing live steel instead. Ser Rodrik would only allow tourney swords, Sandor Clegane told Ser Rodrik to obey the prince. After an argument where Clegane and Joffrey made fun of Robb Stark, the princes left the yard with their retinue.
