KING-OF-WINTERFELL Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 How happy would you be from a scale of 10 to 10?I would be an 11.0 as much as the idea of R+L=J has been over done to death, which is probably why many people accept has fact. I still prefer Jon to be a Rheagars or Brandon with Lyanna or Ashara, or even Ned and Ashara for the simple plot twist. Which I don't think Jon being Arthur son will give.

Swordofthemornin Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I don't know what to make of that. Part of me saying PLEASE NO...other part think's, Where could this go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTyrion Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 It would be an interesting twist but plot wise I don't see it adding much. Dawn being Lightbringer would be the only thing I can think of that would make that a relevant twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chebyshov Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 It's threads like these that make me think we've had far too long to ruminate on the material. TWOW seriously better be next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrojenReed Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Why would Ned have felt the need to hide Jon's identity if he were Arthur's son? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Zero chance. Jon's parents are Rhaegar and Lyanna - deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterbumps! Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 How happy would you be from a scale of 10 to 10?I would be an 11.Why would this make you happy? You realize that if this were true, Ned would one of the biggest assholes in the entire ASOIAF universe, behind only perhaps Craster and Tywin in terms of assholic fathering? Because if Jon is Lyanna + Arthur's, and Ned spent all this time not telling anyone for no good reason (because why would L+A be taboo?), not least of which Jon, who, surely, you must see is a bit traumatized by the fact that he doesn't know who his mother is, he'd be an incredibly insensitive father figure. Not to mention, husband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bael's Bastard Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 How happy would you be from a scale of 10 to 10?I would be an 11. I would think GRRM had never read his own books. Thankfully that's not gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Not that I'm buying this theory, but Robert may have killed any son born of Lyanna since he would have viewed the child as a result of the rape of his betrothed. I know you don't buy it anyway, but I'd say there's a zero chance of that happening. The only reason Robert supports infanticide is in the case that they're Targs, as having living Targs out there could undermine his rule-- as in, the babies are his political enemies. If Jon is really a Dayne bastard, then there's no danger to Robert. And for all Robert's faults, I have trouble thinking he'd kill Jon simple because he's a product of rape. I'd almost be more inclined to believe he'd spoil the kid out of memory for Lyanna or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bittersteel Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Arthur Dayne has a reputation as one of the truest knights in history. Loyal to a fault to his vows, having commit an affair and having a bastard child would be completely at odds with what we know of his character. He just wouldn't be the same person.

Light a wight tonight Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 The only upside to Jon being Arthur Dayne's bastard would be humanizing Dayne a bit. Otherwise, nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roddy the Ruin Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 Don't you mean ArthurXUlyssesOfTheDivide? :wub:if I did roll that way most def.Anyway, if they ever put him in the show, then I would only except Liam McIntyre or Todd Lasance to play him.

Alia Atreides Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 my head is starting to hurt from all the theories... but it doesn't make any sense to keep it a secret etc. I think we need our next book and we need it NOW GRMM must write faster :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Northman Reborn Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 What if Rhaegar (and Ned), THOUGHT it was Rhaegar's child, but it actually was Arthur's? Then Jon can get the Iron Throne AND Dawn (Lightbringer). In all seriousness, though, Jon is Rhaegar's son. Sadly, he is indeed tainted by the inbred dragon blood, even though thankfully only from half his lineage. But at least he gets to be King in recompense.
