I am Eddard Stark, Lord of Winterfell and Hand of the King. I come before you to confess my treaeon in the sight of Gods and men. I betrayed the faith of my King and the trust of my friend Robert. I swore to  p r o t e c t  and defend his children, but before his blood was cold I plotted to murder his son and seize the throne for myself. Let the high Septon and Baelor the blessed bear witness to what I say: Joffrey Baratheon is  t h e  o n e  t r u e  h e i r  to the Iron Throne, by the Grace of all the gods, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm.  
                       As we sin, so do we suffer.
