Excluding the North

It's seven if you exclude the north and crownlands. There are actually 8 kingdoms plus the crownlands if you include the north. 9 kingdoms if you count the crownlands as a kingdom.


Before the Targs, Riverlands and Iron Islands were part of the same kingdom and the crownlands were part of the Reach/Riverlands/Stormlands. That's how you get 7 even though it is more than 7 now, they just kept the name.
