R+L=J Theory (Spoiler Alert) |
|

Obviously one of the more popular theories/beliefs/rumors is |
|
that Jon Snow is really the son of Lyanna Stark & Rhaegar |
|
Targaryen (R+L=J) despite some of the other speculations in the |
|
book. |
|
Got me thinking... if this is true how might Jon find out his |
|
true parentage? There is only one living person left in |
|
Westeros who was with Eddard Stark as his sister was dying - |
|
Lord Howland Reed (Jojen & Meera's father). He has not appeared |
|
yet and GRRM could be waiting for the epic finale to bring him |
|
into the story for the big reveal?! |
|
Otherwise I can only think of two other scenarios but both are a |
|
big stretch - (1) Benjen Stark is in fact alive and somehow |
|
knows the secret or (2) Bran with his powers is able to "see" |
|
his father (or maybe someone else) in the Godswood in the past |
|
revealing the truth about Jon. |
|
Anyone else subscribe to this theory or how it might be |
|
revealed?! |

Actually Benjen Stark if I remember from the books has been |
|
turned to a wight, albeit with a retained memory. He might be |
|
able to give the info to Jon. On a different note, I am not yet |
|
sure that Jon's mother is the sister of Ned Stark. |

The devil is in the details... and there are plenty of them "to |
|
read into" with GRRM. At this point it is just a popular fan |
|
theory because there is no definitive proof that Ned is not |
|
Jon's father. However if you read a lot of the blogs they will |
|
lay out all kinds of evidence, etc. The main reason I believe |
|
it is because Ned has never told Jon who his mother is. If she |
|
were some kind of wh*re, fisherman's daughter, wet nurse or |
|
whomever then why wouldn't he have revealed it to him by this |
|
point? I also think that Jon has a greater role to play in the |
|
story and clearly finding out who his mother is will likely feed |
|
into that. |
