Tyrell_like_Squirrel Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Forgive me if this has been a topic before, I wasn't able to find one so I decided to start my own. Also, I know how sick some people are of the secret parent theories so let me state for the record this isn't a theory so much as it is a question. Is it at all possible that Littlefinger is the true father of Robert "Sweetrobin" Arryn? Assuming lil Robert is headed for the grave thanks to littlefinger's scheming, I think the chance for cruel dramatic irony would be interesting. We know that Lysa suffered multiple miscarriages with Jon Arryn before finally giving birth to Robert. Might it be that during all this time, while Littlefinger was cultivating her and scheming his great scheme, that he may have gotten her pregnant? I don't think it would add anything great to the story, other then having Littlefinger kill his own son. It might make for an extra bit of villainous tragedy or something like that. Anybody else agree or disagree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmnomnomPomelo Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I too thought about that Littlefinger is the father of Robert, and if it's true and LF discovers it I'd watch his face :D But who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Meliora Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I've been toying with this myself. I don't know if we have a date on when LF started his KL affair with Lysa, but it would make a lot of sense if Robert were his son. It would go a long way to explain Lysa's overprotective behavior toward Robert...although I can't figure out why she wouldn't have told LF if he were the father. Unless he does know and just doesn't care because he never loved Lysa... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Watcher_On_The_Walls Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Interesting theory/question. I like the idea of LF fathering a sickly little jerk. The secret parentage thing has been played to death, but that is one that has some merit, though not really any in-world consequences now that everyone's dead. Not to hyjack you're topic, but in the next book when Robin's got an other ripping his arms off, i'm not caring who his dad used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee-Sensei Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I've seen this before, and it just wouldn't make sense. 1) I'm pretty sure LF was in Gulltown at the time. 2) LF's too smart to be sleeping with his bosses wife while he's trying to rise. 3) Lysa tells him that they can have a son together like they should have years ago. if Robert was their son, I'd think she would acknowledge it at some point.

aryagonnakill#2 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 ^ Well based on Lysa's comment about letting everyone hear and not wanting to be quite anymore suggests they were in fact sleeping together in Kings Landing, so its really just a mater of when did that happen?

Lord Lannister Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 It wouldn't be the first time LF impregnated Lysa. The seed is strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petyr's Little Finger Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I'm not convinced that LF is SR's father even though it is a possibility. LF was cultivating Lysa when she was Jon Arryn's wife, while it would have been risky I do believe that LF would have had sex with her. Even if SR is LF's I don't think LF will care too much about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittleFinger Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 It's Arryn's. All the children of his "seed" died in the womb except Sweetrobin and he's the frailest pathetic thing out there which is fitting. The timeline doesn't make sense for it to be LF's and Lysa seems completely convinced that Robert is Jon Arryn's son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Robert was LF's son, she would have mentioned it. It's possible she was sleeping with both men at the same time, and convinced herself that the child was Robert's. ^ Well based on Lysa's comment about letting everyone hear and not wanting to be quite anymore suggests they were in fact sleeping together in Kings Landing, so its really just a mater of when did that happen? This could refer to when Petyr and Lisa first slept together at Riverrun, and had to be quiet so Hoster didn't hear them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't even know if LF was in KL at that point, and if there was a chance that he was LF's kid, I'm surr she would have acknowledged it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrell_like_Squirrel Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 I've seen this before, and it just wouldn't make sense. 1) I'm pretty sure LF was in Gulltown at the time. 2) LF's too smart to be sleeping with his bosses wife while he's trying to rise. 3) Lysa tells him that they can have a son together like they should have years ago. if Robert was their son, I'd think she would acknowledge it at some point. This makes sense, the only thing I think should be taken into account is Littlefinger's ego. I re-read AGOT not too long ago and I forgot how much he antagonizes Ned. Littlefinger is a smart planner, and he knows it, he's always showing off. Given what you've laid out, as well as some other posters, LF is probably not Robert's father. I will say though, given his ego and rampant sometimes reckless narcissism, I could see him sleeping with Lysa while she was with Jon. LF is smart, but reckless when it comes to certain things.

239JMFL34109 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 i could see it as one of those things that is true but never is explain in the books themselves. i am sure lysa cheated on jon with LF but i am unsure as to Robin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cas Stark Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 i could see it as one of those things that is true but never is explain in the books themselves. i am sure lysa cheated on jon with LF but i am unsure as to Robin. I never got that impression, there is some dialogue where she talks about how long they waited to be together, which gives me the sense that she did not cheat on him, and why would LF do that, not sleeping with her gives him more control over her and is much less risky for them both.
