The problem is, we're supposed to think Ned is just about perfect. He's the ideal, supposedly. He'd annoy me less if his faults were acknowledge. And he'd annoy me less if he'd acknowledge what a crappy person Robert was.

I don't think that's true at all! Definitely not in the books.

His faults are acknowledged pretty darn well when he's arrested and executed for basically being too trusting and honorable.

Sort of. But the show portrays it as he's really a great guy, what he did wasn't genuinely wrong, just naive. No, he wasn't just naive. He was wrong. He should have put his family first.

I think you're drawing a distinction that doesn't really exist in the series. At least for the books.

Not really, even in the show - we've already seen him executing a terrified member of the Night Watch rather than listening to him. We know his honour is inflexible and not the smart choice. Which made Jon's parentage all the funnier to me because Ned *could* keep a secret and lie for his family, he just didn't do it any other time when he should have!

In medieval times, or at least in a medieval setting, what was all important was upholding a kingship, law and order, against the chaos that would engulf civilization. It's one of the shortcomings of what was considered honorable in those times.

In fact the entire series shows how bad the medieval system was.
