Without looking at the books (nnnng)

1. There are seven Kingdoms in Westeros. What families rule each of the seven Kingdoms and where is their seat of power? (as of the beginning of Book 1)
(EDITED because I forgot to include the cities)
The North: The Starks, rom Winterfell
The Vale: The Arryns, from the Eyrie
Dorne: the Martells, from Sunspear
The Reach:
The Stormlands:
The Riverlands: The Tullys, from Riverrun
The Rock: the Lannisters, from Casterly Rock
Iron Islands: The Greyjoys, from Pyke

2. Name all the people who have been king since the beginning of book 1.

Been king, or been *a* king?

Robert Baratheon
Stannis Baratheon
Renly Baratheon
Joffrey Baratheon
Tommen Baratheon

I'm omitting Robb Stark and Balon Greyjoy, as they only claimed to be Kings of their own kingdoms and not Kings of all Westeros.

3. Name the direwolves:
Robb: Grey Wind
Jon: Ghost
Sansa: Lady
Arya: Nymeria
Bran: Summer
Rickon: Shaggydog

4. Who killed -

Some of these are pretty major spoilers, so:

Jon Arryn: Lysa Arryn
Robb Stark: Roose Bolton
The Red Viper: Gregor Clegane
Joffery Lannister: The Tyrells, or possibly even Cercei Lannister (not sure exactly who)
Robert Barathorn: A boar, aided and abetted by Lancel Lannister, kind of
Ser Mandon: Pod Payne

5. Technically who is the rightful king of the realm?

In my opinion? Jon Snow.

6. How were the Wights released?

The wildlings under Mance Rayder's command raided their tombs and stirred them to life.

7. Identify these house shields:
A mockingbird: 'House Littlefinger'. Petyr's personal shield, the mockingbird, is different from the Baelish family shield, that escapes me for the moment.
A lion: Lannister
A stag: Baratheon
A three headed dog: Clegane
A direwolf: Stark
A chain with green flames:
A ship with an onion on it's sail: Seaworth
A sun with a spear: Martell

8. Name the 3 dragons belonging to Dany and who they were named after. Er... Balerion... bah. Named after members of the Targaryen family.

9. What do these people have in common at one time or another?
Qhorin Halfhand, Sandor Clegane, Jamie Lannister

I'm going to go out on a limb and say: they've all been attacked or struck by one of their brothers at one point or another (Qhorin by Jon, Sandor by Gregor, and Jaime by Tyrion)

10. Which house has the words...
We do not sow:
Winter is coming: The Starks - there's a nobrainer
Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken:

11. Jon Snow is the Nine hundred and ninety ninth lord commander of the Nights Watch.
