SerDerrick Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Jon seems to be an honourable person, in similar fashion to Ned Stark, so I'm guessing this: Jon probably commends Sam for his bravery in killing the Other with the Dragonglass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErasmusF Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Yes, and asks that the child be protected and raised as befitting a noble bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErasmusF Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 In reading another thread I thought of this one. Given the parallel of Jon sending Mance's baby away from the wall to be protected from a Baratheon, with Ned taking (presumably) Jon away from the ToJ (of you believe R+L = J) to protect him from a Baratheon, is there a letter that holds some hint of Jon's parentage?

Caren Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Yeah and Ned probably put it inside Lyanna's tomb along with other things. It's probably why Jon keeps dreaming of going into the cripts at Winterfell. He's meant to go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the baby Gilly has with her isn't little Sam,its Dalla's child, so does that cast some doubt on this theory?Would honourable Jon lie to Randyll Tarly that Sam had sired a bastard, when the actual child in question is still at Castle Black (and not Sam's)? I agree it must have something about Sam killing the White Walkers. It might also have some justification for sending Sam to study to be a maester, as Randyll threatened to throttle Sam if he wore chains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the letter states that the child is the heir to the King Beyond the Wall and asks for him to be raised as a noble to breach the divide between the Wildlings and the Wall. And that he must be kept in hiding away from Stannis and Melisandre. I think there is possibly another letter out there that says something similar about a certain LC.

Maybe, but it seems like a stretch that he would trust him with that. It's not like they are friends or allies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hos the Hostage Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Did he actually write to Lord Tarly? I don't recall reading about it it. Is it mentioned in ADWD or AFFC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
