She begged him to protect the child at all cost, "promise me Ned. He raised the child as his own, taking him on as a bastard to hide him from the world, and naming him Jon.
Ned sacrificed his honor to protect his blood, and to keep the promise he made. Ned never forgave the Lannisters for what they had done during the war. This eventually led to the clashing of their houses when Ned became hand to the king. When Ned found out about the true lineage of the king's heirs, he made the mistake of allowing mercy to Cersei Lannister, figuring it was the honorable thing to do.
Cersei answered this mercy by having him beaten and jailed. And when the judgement day came, it was Jophrey Lannister who had his head taken off.
This guaranteed the war between these houses was going to be bloody and final. Ned tried his absolute best to embue all of his best attributes into his children. All of his children inherited every ounce of their fathers honor and vigor. Unfortunately they inherited his burdens and his conflicts as well. The war with the Lannister's raged on long after Ned's death.
The end of the initial conflict came in a gruesome manner, when the battles of Ned finally caught up to his eldest son Robb. The Lannisters arranged for Robb to be betrayed by his allies and murdered under the protection of guest rights at a wedding at the red wedding. Almost the entire war effort had been wiped out, as well as Robb Stark, his wife, their unborn child, and Ned's widow Catelyn. Robb's life came to an end with much suffering, similar to his father. He thinks Jaime is a betraying king slayer, but seems to forget that Robert led the rebellion against the Targaryens.
This is also true with Varys , who he immediately doesn't trust - even though that could have been his only saving grace. Clearly, he isn't the best at reading people, but his judgment is also just super inconsistent. Ned is appointed "Protector of the Realm" after Robert dies, but that little piece of paper was certainly not solid enough for Ned to be confronting Cersei about her bastard children.
He trusted Baelish, which also makes no sense. The entire episode where Ned confronts Joffrey and Cersei, and then is apprehended by Baelish and the City Watch, is nothing more than a complete face palm moment. This obviously all makes sense by the end of the series, but it still begs the question: how come he never told Catelyn the truth about Jon? Did he not trust even his wife with a secret?
Both Catelyn and Ned meet their demise before they can learn or tell the truth about Jon's real parents, and that's totally sad - but it's also just super unnecessary.
Ned's entire being is premised on honorableness and honesty. After Sansa 'convinces' Joffrey to be merciful, Ned admits that he committed treason, which, he didn't. If he is so honorable, why would he ever lie, especially in his final moments? This is arguably the biggest inconsistency with Ned, and probably confuses fans to this day.

By Meah Peers Published Jul 08, Bean, who has a reputation of dying in TV shows and movies, revealed while talking to Entertainment Weekly as to what was going through his head during the filming of the scene. I was trying to think of all four things. I was very hot at the time, so that probably helped.
It was very moving with a lot of pathos in that scene. Then I put my head in the block and I was finished for the day.
