Lied to from birth by a man who might’ve been a father to him, yet never could tell him about his mother, this lifelong storm cloud has bedeviled Jon all his days and nights until they ended the first time at the hands of mutinous Night’s Watch brothers. Bran Stark confirmed as much in the season 7 finale, and honestly, for whatever pain it will eventually cause, Jon Snow has a right to know. The truth of Jon Snow’s parentage will come out. Their paths will eventually diverge, so we’ll consider it briefly here from Jon Snow’s perspective. One would even expect between them they could birth the Prince Who Was Promised.Īs we mentioned in the endgame article about Daenerys Targaryen several weeks ago, we do not think Jon Snow and Dany’s song is meant to be an everlasting one. Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen will begin Game of Thrones Season 8 as Westeros’ ultimate power couple a union to unite the living against the dead, day against the night, and a joining of a song of ice and fire. For what awaits them there is sure to be the descending White Walkers, as well as the first revelation of Jon’s parentage via Bran Stark and Samwell Tarly. In either case, the last season ended with him in Dany’s arms as they sail toward the North, Winterfell, and their potential doom. Yet here we are, Jon, still ignorant of his heritage, is in a union that could bring peace to the realm-or more bloodshed. And if Eddard Stark’s ruse to disguise his sister’s son had been fully successful, Jon Snow would never have come down from that Wall. If he had been born into a world without a Mad King, or at least an unsuccessful Robert’s Rebellion, he would’ve been legitimately Rhegar Targaryen’s heir to the Iron Throne, as well as eventually King Aegon Targaryen, the Sixth in His Name. Either as a secret Targaryen heir or as the “Bastard of Winterfell,” the man they call Jon Snow should never have been King in the North… nor in the bed of his aunt Daenerys Targaryen. This article contains Game of Thrones spoilers.
