aaronk Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 One detail in ASOIAF that's always bugged me it that there is a years gap the Tourney at Harrenhal and Lyanna's abduction. Any ideas on what happen in that year??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaenys_Targaryen Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Brandon duelled LF, Brandon went north, possibly Lyanna was betrothed to Robert. Ned travelled to the Eyrie. Elia Martell was pregnant with Aegon Targaryen and gave birth to him. Amongst other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronk Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 But what triggered the "abduction". I wouldn't be surprised if Rhaegar and Lyanna had some sort of communication or interaction in that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaenys_Targaryen Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 That's something we don't know yet ;) About the Rebellion, and especially what happened before, many things still need to be told, one way or the other. What many people, myself amongst them, suspect, is that Rhaegar wanted 3 children, presumably 2 girls and 1 boy. He had a girl, then a boy, and then his wife could no longer have another child. Shortly after Aegon's birth (within several weeks, is the estimation), Rhaegar left KL and disappeared with Lyanna. This theory listens to the vision Dany has in the HotU, where she sees Rhaegar sitting by Elia's bedside when Aegon has been born not that long ago, and he says "there must be one more". The theories about communication are based on a lot less, simply because in that area, we don't have much to go on (read: basically nothing to go on). It wouldn't be unlogical if they had communicated during that year, in some way. But how exactly, and how often, remain big question marks until GRRM decides it is time for us to know.

SunflashJT Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 This is something that I really hope gets expanded on. Although because it is in the past it really has no relevance to the story moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas on what happen in that year???Everybody has their own theory. My own is that Rhaegar, along with Arthur and Whent were trying to depose Aerys in the most peaceful way. Didn't work out, though. And Lyanna was just a coincidence or a distraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BraveCraven Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I think the main question is where did he take/meet her? Winterfell is not exactly somewhere you just stroll into and leave with the daughter of the house unchallenged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ygritte Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I think the main question is where did he take/meet her? Winterfell is not exactly somewhere you just stroll into and leave with the daughter of the house unchallenged. It would not surprise me if she weren't actually at Winterfell. My theory is that she was at court, but I have no evidence for that, just that it wasn't an uncommon place for lords to send their daughters in real life.

Just to keep on imagining things we don't have any evidence for; who would she be with? It seems to open up a whole new avenue from which the truth of R+L=J could come.

Jon_Samwell_Snow Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 They probably communicated with each other back and forth by raven for the year. Lyanna probably told him that she was betrothed to Robert. Rhaegar got upset and went to get Lyanna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanrn Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 what year gap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordDireStark Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Many people don't believe there is a one year gap,although I'm not one of them.I think it was more around 6-8 months. A lot of people believe the tourney of Harrenhal took place towards the end of 281,around November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
