This would place Jon’s birth within one month, give or take, of the Sack. As we know the war lasts “close” to a year which is often just referred to as a “year” (I: 96, 233), suggesting 10-11 months is likelier than 9 months. http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/FAQ/Entry/Who_are_Jon_Snows_parents/Especially considering that Dany is conceived when the message of Rhaegar's death reaches KL, a fortnight before the Sack.

Maybe you can explain for a first time forumer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon's Queen Consort Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I'm not arguing for the OP's theory at all. Quite the contrary, on the first pages I disproved it myself. Just clearing up some wrong impressions about the timeline. My mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
