"If I am ever a queen, I'll make them love me." 馃尮 Sansa Stark with the Kings of Winter Crown
This is a redraw of an old piece of mine. I'm also working on a colored version.

So according to Old Nan story of Night King, he was defeated by the King of Winter Brandon the Breaker. She also think that NK was Stark named Brandon and brother to the king of Winter. How come two brothers had same name? There is another Brandon Stark aka Bran the Builder who made the ice Wall. Did he knew about the Others?
I'd say there's reason to view any of Old Nan's tales as vague or metaphorical hints at the true story, as well as parallels to current events by the author. (Sort of like the story of the Winter Rose, which points to Lyanna and Rhaegar as well as to Baelish and Sansa.) They point us to themes or character constellations more than they do to solid facts.
The fact that so many Starks are named after the original Brandon hints at something that is general to all of House Stark.
Thousands and thousands of years ago,聽Brandon聽the Builder had raised Winterfell, and some said the Wall. Bran knew the story, but it had never been his favorite. Maybe one of the other聽Brandons聽had liked that story. Sometimes Nan would talk to him as if he were her聽Brandon, the baby she had nursed all those years ago, and sometimes she confused him with his uncle聽Brandon, who was killed by the Mad King before Bran was even born. She had lived so long, Mother had told him once, that all the聽Brandon聽Starks had become one person in her head. (AGOT, Bran IV)
Which also plays into this:
Their faces were stern and strong, and some of them had聽done聽terrible聽things, but they were Starks every one, and Bran knew all their tales. He had never feared the crypts; they were part of his home and who he was, and he had always known that one day he would lie here too. (ACOK, Bran VII)
Bran is the youngest in a long line of Brandons, and they all go back millenia (some soaked in cruelty and blood) to the mythical origin of House Stark, which is tied to Winterfell, the Wall and that ancient heart tree. And the ice threat.
There is a shrouded legacy that Bran will have to unravel in the name of all of them, and it contains every side of the conflict. An acceptance and a reckoning.
