Really? Because I really thought that Lianna was the true love of Robert--which is why Ned kept the fact of Jon's parentage from Robert--Ned had been doing Robert a solid all these years and protecting his sister's honor by claiming Jon as his own. Otherwise, why lie to Robert about Jon?


You fell prey to Robert's version of events ( which is really all we get in season 1). There are clearer signs in the book and a few in the show to suggest Robert's version isn't accurate and more about his ego and justification for war than about reality.

Because it's someone else's baby and Robert would kill the baby if he knew.


Not just someone else's baby. A baby with a stronger claim to the Iron Throne. He killed Rhaegar's other children and plotted to kill Dany as well. Jon would not have survived.

She would be Jon's (1/2?) aunt. Her dad was the mad king. 1/2 sister to Raegar.


She is Rhaegar's full sister and Jon's aunt.


Yes, sorry, full sister.

The Targaryens have the coloring they do through years of in-breeding, so going outside of the bloodline can produce unpredictable results.

This is all so great and perfectly cast as the actor that plays JS is a peerage guy IRL although, by the looks of him, a stable hand (or Ringo Starr) seems to have crept into the Lady's chamber.

Ahhhhh. Ok are you a child of the forest you're too wise

This is correct. Lyanna was promised to Robert, but Rhaegar was smitten with her. The rumor is that Rhaegar kidnapped her and kept her in the Tower of Joy (where Ned found her), but there are signs that point to a consensual relationship.

In any case, it's only been theory that R+L=J for years, and it was satisfying to see that confirmed last night.
