I was curious to do a class analysis of https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/POV_character
The books keep passing the narrative baton from one landlord to another landlord.
312 of 354 chapters are narrated by a Lord or Lady or their immediate family:
- Tyrion Lannister 49
- Jon Snow 42
- Arya Stark 34
- Daenerys 31
- Catelyn Stark 25
- Sansa Stark 25
- Bran Stark 21
- Jaime Lannister 17
- Eddard Stark 15
- Theon Greyjoy 14
- Cersei Lannister 12
- Brienne of Tarth 8
- Victarion Greyjoy 5
- Arianne Martell 4
- Asha Greyjoy 4
- Aeron Greyjoy 3
- Jon Connington 2
25 more chapters are narrated by Knights (who under the feudal system were landlords):
- Davos Seaworth 13 (who wasn’t born a knight, was socially mobile)
- Barristan Selmy 6
- Quentyn Martell 4
- Arys Oakheart 1
- Kevan Lannister - 1
The remaining chapters are also mostly narrated by high-ranking professionals, nominal exceptions:
- Samwell Tarly 10
- Areo Hotah 2 (Captain of the Guard)
- Melisandre 1 (former slave who became an influential Rasputin)
- Cressen, a maester of Stannis Baratheon 1
- Chett, a steward of the Night’s Watch - 1
- Pate, a novice at the Citadel 1
- Varamyr, a skinchanger 1


Samwell Tarly is a noble prior to taking the Black as he was the son of Lord Randyll Tarly of Horn Hill.
Ser Piggy probably belongs in the list of lords, ladies and their get.
