We are going with incest, then.

In a twist, many lovers saw (and dreaded), Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen acted on their flirtations and slept together in Season 7 final. The writers and administrators interclude their sex scene with Brans and Sam, as they pieced together evidence that they are associated.

Jon is the son of Dany's brother, Rhaegar Targaryen and Ned Stark's sister Lyanna. They ran away collectively and eloped, which Bran showed by using traveling within the beyond.

Aegon becomes the name of the very authentic Targaryen who got here to Westeros, Aegon the Conqueror. He and his sisters rode dragoons and took the continent 300 years before the occasions of sport of Thrones began.

Due to the fact that Rhaegar and Lyanna had been in consensual, loving and married courting, Robert's rise up became on a lie, yet no one knew it. Early in the series, Robert Baratheon rebelled against the Targaryens, in part because it changed into believed that Rhaegar kidnapped and raped Lyanna, who he turned into betrothed to. Either Robert believed the lie or perpetuated it, either way he used it to usurp the Iron Throne. It might make sense that the parents, in the midst of this battle, wanted to present their son calling that screamed legitimacy in case they wanted him at some point to sit on the Iron Throne. Unfortunately for them, Ned gave him the complete opposite: The bastard name "Snow."
As a Targaryen, Jon will probably be able to travel a dragon (Raleigh, named after his father) and be able to walk through a fireplace like Dany has achieved again and again. His Stark side might suggest he's able to warg, like Bran. As Rhaegar's legitimate son, he's the rightful heir to the Seven Kingdoms, superseding Dany. This quantity of strength in his lineage, plus his resurrection, proposes that Jon is the Prince who becomes Promised, the prophetic hero who will shop for the darkness, that is just what he wants to do.

The call Aegon Targaryen is even bigger in the books (slight spoilers follow). By using the end of A Dance With Dragons, the 5th and final book published to this point, it's revealed that one of Rhaegar's kids with Elia Martell survived, his son, Aegon. Or at the least a young man named young Griff who claims to be that Aegon. He became hidden in Essos, and eventually Tyrion joined him, considering that he changed into the only Varys and Illyrio supported the reinstating on the Iron Throne from the beginning.

Because he turned into a cut from the show, some e book fans assumed that Griff / Aegon was a pretender, and so was not crucial enough to keep in the show. But this new display may additionally imply that Jon's story will encompass part of what Aegon will do in the books. Or it might imply that Griff is not always the real Aegon, and Rhaegar and Lyanna delivered the call directly to infant Jon.

No matter what his name is, Jon will still have to come to terms with the reality that he has just romanticly involved with his aunt, on the grounds that Sam and Bran are so rational about telling him who his circle of relatives is sincere.
