| Re: Jon Snow
Is it too late to say SPOILER ALERT?
Faery Queen, don't sweat it. I never made many of these connections until I started reading them online.
For instance, I always assumed Jon was Ned's bastard... now, I'm not sure. The potential list of parents includes Ned, Ned's father, Ashara Dayne, Rhaegar, Lyanna, Robert, Brandon, Benjen, Willa, Aerys, and Howland Reed. But now I scrutinize the parentage of most major characters... Tyrion, Dany, Robb's child, Edmure's child, Dickon Tarly?, Mance's child, and Robert Arryn all have at least a bit of mystery surrounding their parentage, imo.
Also imo, the prophecies, dreams, and visions get people guessing.
As to the topic, the OP asserts his belief that Jon is Ned's brother that needed to be protected from Robert... Well, this means that one of Ned's parents slept with a Targaryen to produce Jon. I don't know that there is really any evidence to support this at all. |
