The fact that incest is used is to make you hate the characters. Actually, I believe you refer to Cersei and Jaime Lannister who are children at the start of this. However, that has been a practise among Targaryens for many thousands of years. This will be about the war and not the people, but the most honourable are the Stark's I'd say. Their motto is 'winter is coming' and fairly often people say 'the North remembers' if you know of Eddard Stark, he was loyal to his king to a fault - he was beheaded for providing the document which named him regent (all of this completely true) and the mother of the to-be king, who was expected to be the regent, was behind it so she could get the power. There has been no incest in the North for as long as anyone can remember, and certainly never in the nobility.
