That bombshell "Game of Thrones" revelation about Jon Snow's parentage shook things up big time. He was one of the last people to know, though!
Jon was born a Targaryen! Yep, his parents were Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen!
Yep, Ned had to carry the weight of knowing Jon Snow was a Targaryen. He was forced to pretend he was a bastard son to protect Jon Snow. His mother had a secret wedding to Rhaegar before she died in childbirth. Ned couldn't reveal the truth to Robert, Jon Snow's uncle, because he would've tried to kill him!
There's another person - Howland Reed - a friend of Ned Stark. It's safe to assume he knew the truth. Why? Because they were together at the Tower of Joy - that was where Lyanna Stark died.
We are all obsessed with "Game of Thrones", right? That big final season might not have satisfied us, but this entire saga around Jon Snow's parentage made people want more - and now we have so many questions! Jon Snow's journey in Game of Thrones was pretty cool! If he ever has another "Game of Thrones" storyline, they should actually do a lot more with this entire secret and it’s effects on Jon and those around him!
Are you excited about those Game of Thrones theories?! Maybe he’ll find another way to use his Targaryen lineage in some futuristic movie?
Just think of all the characters! Game of Thrones really went off the deep end and turned some of its best, coolest, most loved Game of Thrones characters, upside down.
