( we don't even know the true story between lyanna and the prince. ) which bags the question would the northern bannermen want to fight for the starks to protect the last Targaryen basterd? is it really honorable to protect even if it is your own blood a child that could if his true identity is revealed end up destroying your house. In the eyes of the Northman he is the son of The Honorable The Ned, doesn't matter bastard aon or just nephew, he was raised by him and we see how strong the foster bonds are through Bob, Ned and Jon. Even if they see him as the product of a rape, again, he is kin to Honorable The Ned, son of Rickard the southron ambitious, who was killed because he is beloved Lyanna's father, the girl I suspect even Roose had some affection towards. Also, seeing your thread Robb the Raping Wolf, I suspect you are either trolling, or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kin > King, just ask Stannis. If he, out of all people went with the choice of kin over king(who is also not so distant kin) then there's no betrayal on Jon Arryn's part for defending his Ned and Bob who are his sons in all but blood. Ned didn't even have his children when he made the decision, perhaps only Robb and he may not even be aware of his birth and survival. For all he knows Cat may die during childbirth, give only Stillborns to him, may even be barren or their children may not live to become adults. Apart from everything else Jon is also a potential heir(or spare if Benjen stays) to him even if he didn't give any thought into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theon being called a "ward" was just the Starks being nice about it. He was sentenced to be there as a hostage by the King to keep Balon in check. Theon only had the freedom of a ward because Ned allowed it. That's very different from being a foster son like Bobby and Ned. Jon had to agree to foster them and their parents had to agree to send them there. Walder Frey wanted his grandsons fostered with Jon Arryn but was turned down. I'm not even sure if Bob and Ned were still technically his wards when Aerys sent the raven. They may have just been in the Vale to visit their foster father, as they both were around 20 and Robert was already the Lord of Storm's End. Either way though they both came to Jon Arryn's castle as honored guests and ate at his table and slept beneath his roof. Killing them without cause or trail seems to be a clear violation of Guest Right by definition. It didn't help matters that Aerys killed Jon Arryn's heir with Brandon and Rickard. Aerys and/or his handlers were begging for rebellion by the way they handled that, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRANDON GREYSTARK Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 On 3/25/2018 at 6:58 PM, Angel Eyes said: No it's not. It's saving his life. If Ned declared Jon a Targaryen, Robert would want the baby's head. Robert's satisfaction at the deaths of Rhaenys and Aegon cemented that for Ned. The laws of kin are older than those of a liege. Ned would consider himself a kinslayer if he gave the baby to Robert for execution, since Jon is his blood. Apart from breaking guest right, kinslaying is the worst thing a man can do. Might partly be why Maegor is considered Maegor the Cruel, since he murdered two of his nephews. I' m sorry , but we must have gotten confused I said " According to The Order of the Green Hand in their You Tube video they stated that Jon is the son of Eddard Stark and Ashara Dayne , and that they were married , making all the children with Catelyn , a flurry of little Snows. And I try to stay away from R+L=J , which I no longer believe . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
