Rodrik Stark, the wandering wolf.  The seventh child of Beron Stark, Rodrik had little chance of inheriting so instead traveled to the Free Cities and fought for the Second Sons.  Eventually he returned home and married Arya, a Flint of the mountains.  They had two daughters, Branda and Lyarra.  Branda wed a Stormlord, Harrold Rogers, and Lyarra married her cousin Rickard Stark.

Serena Stark should have been next in line to inherit Winterfell and the North after her grandfather Cregan Stark died but instead was married to her father’s half brother, Edric Stark.  They had four children together, twin sons Cregard and Torrhen, Aregelle, and Arrana.  The boys likely died young, but Aregelle married Robard Cerwyn and Arrana married Osric Umber.  Both had issue.  Edric predeceased his older brother Jonnel, so was the only son of Lynara Stark to not become Lord of Winterfell.  Presumably by the time Jonnel Stark died, the twins, Cregard and Torrhen, were already dead and thus did not inherit.  So Aregelle and Arrana, like their mother and her sister, were passed over in favor of their uncle.  Serena was denied Winterfell once for herself and once for her children.  At some point Serena married Jon Umber, I’m guessing after Edric died, to avoid any trouble she might cause (and I like to think she caused a lot of trouble).  In any case, it’s very plausible that Arrana was married to her stepbrother.

Lynara Stark was Cregan Stark’s third and final wife.  She had five children Jonnel, Edric, Lyanna, Barthogan and Brandon.  Three of her sons became Lord of Winterfell during the tumultuous period that followed Cregan Stark’s death.  Her oldest sons, Jonnel and Edric were married to their half brother’s two daughters. Both Jonnel and Barthogan died without issue.  The fate of her only daughter is unknown. Cast for/by @andi-d
