In fact speaking, Jon Snow's dad hasn't yet been uncovered in Game of Thrones, however the majority of us have been almost certain for some time now – and hardcore devotees of George RR Martin's books have known, or possibly suspected, for a considerable length of time.
Be that as it may, just on the off chance that anybody was still in any uncertainty about the character of the subtle Papa Snow, HBO a year ago posted an accommodating realistic on their site, affirming the name for all to see.
Jon's genuine father is Walder Frey.
Approve, we're lying – the HBO graph really expressed that Jon's dad is Rhaegar Targaryen, the youthful ruler who stole away with Jon's mom Lyanna to the Tower of Joy.
While the Game of Thrones season six finale indicated us, by means of Bran-vision, that Eddard Stark's sister Lyanna was Jon's mom, it held back before spelling out precisely who Jon's dad was (albeit, frustratingly, we saw Lyanna whisper into Eddard's ear, evidently disclosing to him Jon's genuine name).
In any case, given that we definitely realize that it was Rhaegar that Lyanna was grabbed by or absconded with, contingent upon which adaptation of the story you trust, we believe it's presently sheltered to state that the dearest fan hypothesis alluded to for quite a long time as "R+L=J" has now been affirmed past all uncertainty.
The show has additionally been pressing in a lot of "inconspicuous" clues to this impact (witness how Daenerys name dropped Rheagar in the previous evening's scene).
Be that as it may, who precisely was the Targaryen ruler? On the off chance that you require a snappy refresher, here' are some fundamental Rhaegar certainties:
1. He's dead
Like poor Lyanna, who kicked the bucket in labor, Rhaegar was murdered before the occasions of Game of Thrones started, killed in fight by Robert Baratheon (who later went ahead to end up King of Westeros).
Robert was promised to Lyanna and particularly enamored with her, and truly trusted that Rheagar had abducted his lady of the hour to-be. He likewise never realized that she had a child: mindful that noteworthy Jon's actual parentage could be deadly, Lyanna's sibling Eddard chose to imagine Jon was his own knave child, and raise him all things considered.
2. He was, as, better than average looking
All portrayals of the character in George RR Martin's books concur upon a certain something: the white-haired, violet-peered toward Rhaegar was something of a Westerosi dreamboat. There's even a part in which Cersei Lannister met him and feeling unequivocally pulled in to him. (Keep in mind how, when she meets the witch Maggy, she inquires as to whether she'll "wed the ruler" before getting told she'll wed "the lord?" The sovereign she was talking about was Rhaegar... what's more, the lord she in the end winds up wedding is Robert.)
3. In any case, Jon doesn't take after him (in any event shading savvy)
While most Targaryens, for example, Daenerys, are celebrated internationally for their fair skin and silver locks (and, in the books, violet eyes), Jon has dull hair and eyes. This doesn't, notwithstanding, imply that his legacy is in question. The Targaryen propensity for wedding sibling to sister and keeping everything in the family most likely helps represent their particular family highlights. For Jon's situation, be that as it may, the Stark qualities are unmistakably the predominant ones. (We're almost certain somebody, some place, is as of now composing a paper regarding the matter of "Hereditary qualities and Game of Thrones".)
4. He was Daenerys' more seasoned sibling - implying that Jon is Daenerys' nephew
Rhaegar was the eldest offspring of the Mad King, Aerys II, and, before the resistance, first in line to the position of authority. His more youthful kin were Viserys (who got his "brilliant crown" back in season one) and Daenerys.
He was hitched to Elia Martell, and had two youngsters with her: Aegon and Rhaeneys. The two youngsters were killed by Ser Gregor Clegane after the Mad King fell, on the requests of Tywin Lannister, with a specific end goal to secure Robert's position of authority. (This may not be valid in the books, but rather that is an entire other container of confounding, Blackfyre-enhanced worms, and most likely not worth going into here.)
Oberyn Martell (the Red Viper), who notably went up against The Mountain in season four in single battle, was Elia's sibling.
This implies, while the characters are comparable in age, Daenerys is really Jon's close relative.
5. In spite of this, individuals still think Jon and Dany will get together
Hello, it's Game of Thrones. Because of Jaime and Cersei, we've just had seven season of mystery sibling sister inbreeding – and, as beforehand specified, the Targaryen custom of wedding inside the family has just been settled.
Besides, while sibling sister and parent-tyke inbreeding would have still been forbidden, relational unions amongst cousins, and at times amongst uncles and nieces, were additionally normal in Medieval circumstances (and the show, obviously, is set in a semi recorded past).
At the end of the day, while it might appear to be stunning to us, there's a decent possibility that, if Jon and Dany turn into two or three, characters inside the universe of the show won't be so horrified by the relationship as we would be should it occur in present day society.
It's additionally important that, as things stand, neither one of the rulers has any thought of reality, implying that they could well fall for each other while both still absent.
Obviously, there's clearly no unshakable certainty that the combine will couple up by any means, and things don't look excessively encouraging up until now. Be that as it may, notwithstanding this, many fans see their possible union as a certainty, and as a definitive meeting of ice (Northerner Jon) and fire (monster ruler Daenerys). George RR Martin's source material book arrangement is known as A Song of Ice and Fire.
6. He's been painted as a rough attacker/abductor, yet every one of the signs recommend he was truly somewhat of a saint
Barristan Selmy (mercilessly executed off back in season five) depicted Rhaegar as "the finest man I at any point met", and different characters have resounded his record. In any case, the "official" adaptation of the story, hawked by Robert (who really trusted it, yet in addition likely expected to trust that his dearest Lyanna had been loyal to him) asserts that Rhaegar snatched and assaulted her. The show has over and over indicated this wasn't the situation.
7. On the off chance that he had subtly hitched Lyanna, at that point Jon, not Daenerys, is the "legitimate" beneficiary to the iron honored position
While Rhaegar was hitched to Elia Martell at the time he fled with Lyanna, this doesn't really imply that his union with the Stark girl was never legitimized.
Many fans have brought up that, before, Targaryen Kings would once in a while take more than one spouse. Subsequently, Rhaegar may have recently chosen to resuscitate an old family custom.
A current mysterious clue in the show, in any case, recommends that the Targaryen ruler rather most likely had his marriage to Elia abrogated, enabling him to lawfully marry Lyanna.
Essentially, if this marriage took put, it would make Jon a honest to goodness child, as opposed to a jerk – implying that Jon's claim to the iron royal position would be more grounded than Daenerys's.
While this may sound frustratingly patriarchal, the progression arrange here in truth has more to do with the privilege of the main conceived than with men consequently besting ladies. Since Rhaegar was the legitimate beneficiary and eldest sibling, his kids, male or female, would normally precede Daenerys in the request of progression.
