We know in the show that

Jon Snow

has done this and is still alive at the end of the series. Who else is a King/Queenslayer and is still alive at the end of the series?


See below for the complete list of royal deaths but to answer the question those who killed a King/Queen and are still alive are.

Little Birds (Arthur)

They planned out the kill on Margaery Tyrell and might not be dead.

Brienne of Tarth

Killed Stannis Baratheon.

Davos Seaworth

Was involved in the killing of Renly Baratheon.


His actions killed Cersei Lannister.

Arya Stark

She killed the Night King.

Jon Snow

Killed Mance Rayder and Daenerys Targaryen, also his mother Lyanna Stark who was married to Rhaegar Targaryen died in childbirth giving birth to him.

Ellaria Sand

Her fate is unknown but she could still be alive, she killed Myrcella Baratheon and Doran Martell.

To be complete let's go through the full list of monarchs in the series.

  1. Aerys Targaryen: Killed by Jaime Lannister at the end of Robert's Rebellion.

  2. Robert Baratheon: Killed by a boar whilst hunting, planned by Cersei Lannister and carried out by Lancel Lannister.

  4. Tommen Baratheon: Killed by himself, thought he could jump from too high of a height.

  5. Margaery Tyrell: Killed by wildfire explosion, planned by Cersei Lannister, carried out by the Little Birds (Arthur in particular, he's the one who stabs Lancel Lannister) and Qyburn.

  18. Sansa Stark (Queen in the North): Still alive at the end of the series.

  6. Oberyn Martell: Killed by Gregor Clegane.

  7. Doran Martell: Killed by Ellaria Sand.

  8. Ellaria Sand: Presumably killed by Cersei Lannister or by Drogon/Daenerys Targaryen during their attack on King's Landing but could still be alive.

    FWIW I'm aware it is a big stretch including Davos here. – TheLethalCarrot Jun 19 at 8:53

    if we're including these, can we also say that the Night king in the show killed a prince by killing the three-eyed raven? – Termatinator Jun 19 at 8:57

    @Termatinator In the show I'm pretty sure the 3ERs identity was left unknown. – TheLethalCarrot Jun 19 at 9:00

    Left out Lyanna Stark, who was presumably a queen or at least a princess, since she was married to Rhaegar Targaryen. She’s another one for Jon Snow’s impressive tally. – Mike Scott Jun 19 at 9:47

    Daenerys Targaryen: Stabbed by the pointy end of Jon Snow's dagger. He also killed her – MikeTheLiar Jun 19 at 20:03

Arya Stark

I may play on words, but she still kills the Night King.


No, there is at least one person more

Depending whether the victim is recognized as a king

Brienne of Tarth executed Stannis Baratheon after the Battle of Winterfell.

I believe we can consider Stannis as a king, there was a significant force that backed his claim (at least before the battle).
