7/6/2023 0 Comments Jon snow azor ahai 2016Since Robert has no true living children from his marriage by Cersei-they are all bastards born of incest-Jon would be Robert’s oldest living son and thus a man with a strong claim on the Iron Throne. It also would have devastating effects going forward on the series if Jon and the world were to know the truth. Knowing that Robert could be sullied by the shadow of a bastard born out of wedlock from a murdered past love, it is conceivable that Ned would pass Jon off as his own son, and keep him away from the deadly machinations of King’s Landing. The union tied a choking knot to the bow atop Robert’s Rebellion. Robert, meanwhile, would have to unite the Seven Kingdoms by marrying another strong house (thus enter a young and naïve Cersei Lannister). Further consideration also indicates the need to protect this bastard becoming paramount for Ned since it was still his dying sister’s child. It certainly makes more cosmetic sense for Jon Snow to be a secret Baratheon than a secret Targaryen since his hair is as black as night, like all of Robert’s children, while every Targaryen has a platinum blond coif. In the ensuing battle to win her back from her supposed imprisonment at the Tower of Joy, Ned Stark found only a dying sister, whose demise further plunged the Seven Kingdoms into turmoil since Robert would be king after the Targaryens fell.īut perhaps worst of all, Lyanna might have been pregnant with Robert’s bastard son due to a pre-marital consummation. While all evidence points one way to Jon Snow’s heritage, perhaps it is misdirection from the truth?Ĭonsider that Lyanna Stark-Eddard Stark’s sister who we saw in her girlhood during Bran’s flashback/time travel to his father’s youth-was betrothed to a young and handsome Robert Baratheon before she was kidnapped by Rhaegar Targaryen. Plus, there has been so much emphasis on who Jon Snow’s likely parents are with the beloved fan theory of “R+L=J” (which we will get to shortly) that it could almost be a classic George R.R. Such a phrase might have even expedited Littlefinger’s plans to kill Jon Arryn before Game of Thrones’ story began. It is no secret that Robert Baratheon’s seed was indeed strong. There is a more obvious and beloved fan theory than where we are about to start, but this one prediction about Jon Snow’s parentage-and thus his destiny-that never gets a fair shake: what if Jon Snow is Robert Baratheon’s bastard?
