R+L=J Theory (Spoiler Alert)
By: Greystark Date: January 26, 2015, 6:20 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
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.
