Ned's death where he 'confesses' to be a traitor was included in the compilation to show that he would lie to protect his family, even if that has negative consequences for himself. That's what he also did for Jon when he claimed he was his bastard.

I realised recently that I think it is also to show that in that moment he could have revealed the truth about Jon because it may well have been his last chance, but as he most likely still feared for Jon's safety, he didn't. Which, as you said, he put his family before all else.

6:29 Watch Littlefinger's face. 8:33 "The next time we see each other, we'll talk about your mother." The next time they would have seen each other, Jon would be a sworn brother of the Night's Watch and thus beyond the reach of Robert's wrath, so Ned would feel confident he could tell Jon the truth. 16:42 "I don't know if anyone else knows." If you remember the fight outside the Tower of Joy, it was Howland Reed - Meera and Jojen's father - who saved Ned's life. So surely Ned would have had to tell him why he comes back out of the tower carrying a baby and swear him to secrecy. There's also the couple of ladies-in-waiting who helped at the birth, though who knows who they are, if they are important, or what happened to them.

Watch the Tower of Joy scene again; why were the Kingsguard there? KG only protect the royal family. In S3 Tyrion goes on to Cersei about the only people who can give an order to a Kingsguard: royalty. Ned asked Dayne: why weren't they fighting for & protecting Prince Rhaegar at the Trident? Why didn't they ride to Prince Viserys once Rhaegar and his family were dead? "Our prince wanted us here", said Ser Arthur Dayne. They knew who was in the tower and what that meant. More importantly, why did the 3 Eyed Raven think this moment in history was important enough to revisit with Bran? Don't forget who else was at the Tower of Joy: Howland Reed, Meera's father. Interesting that everyone except Robert refers to Rhaegar in positive terms. Even Oberyn (who has every right to be pissed) calls Rhaegar "beautiful and noble". I love the scene between Tormund & Davos before the Battle of the Bastards when they talk about following Mance and Stannis. Tormund says "Jon Snow's not a king." Jon's identity is so dangerous that Ned didn't even tell his wife, preferring to live with the blow to his reputation rather than reveal potentially risky info to those he loved. Over and over the Stark kids say "Father never talked about her" when discussing Lyanna. Jon is ice & fire, the literal embodiment of the book series title "A Song of Ice And Fire". This is likely the reason Jon was kept away from the feast in the 1st episode. Ned didn't want Jon anywhere near Robert or the Lannisters, people who knew Rhaegar in life.

@xajaso6 жыл бұрын
@@rafetizer The Tower of Joy exchange in the books is what confirmed everything for me. Dayne, Hightower, & Whent are the finest KG left & the closest to Rhaegar. That they stayed at the TOJ in their capacities as KG is the key: only legitimate royalty commands them. They only protect legitimate royalty. Dayne says it to Ned straight out: "The Kingsguard does not flee - we swore a vow." BOOM. Doesn't matter how much they loved Rhaegar personally or what he asked them to do before he died; the KG would not refrain from protecting Rhaegar in battle or Viserys at Dragonstone unless person(s) of EQUAL legitimacy & importance needed them more. The KG would not & did not remain to protect the mistress and/or bastard of a dead Prince, no matter how much they loved him. Dayne's final words to Ned always give me chills: "I wish you good fortune in the wars to come." Dayne knew 2 things for sure: he & the KG had to eliminate any possible witnesses to what was in the tower. And that no matter who survived, Jon's existence would create a war. This war would rage either within Ned internally, or externally and therefore across the 7 kingdoms. Either way, there would be great conflict. Robert wouldn't be the only person wanting Jon dead; the massively wealthy, connected, & powerful family of his new queen would too. Tywin & Jaime had both just demonstrated they were 100% willing to kill Targaryens, including any wives, children, & heirs. Hell, Cersei alone would do it; her reasons for hating Lyanna ran deep. Cersei dreamt of & expected for years she'd marry Prince Rhaegar, but ended up with King Robert. Both of the men she desired desperately loved someone else: Lyanna. And Lyanna knew it up to her last, terrified breath. Makes the scenes at TOJ so much sadder once you realize the full picture & it's implications.

So Robert kills Rhaegar in battle and Ned goes off to recover his sister. And he finds her with this Targaryen child. How many hard decisions did he have to make on that day? If Robert is this vengeful as an old king, still intent on killing every Targaryen he can find...how crazed must he have been as a young stag? Ned's got to tell him Lyanna is dead, he's got to bring her body home. He can't afford any questions. He can't afford to have anyone putting all the pieces together. Any hint of Jon's parentage will put the child in danger. Any offhand comment made in all innocence by a wife who may be convinced she can trust her sister, or her uncle, or her father, or Peter Baelish. I'm one of the few who agrees with Ned's choice not to tell Catelyn. Catelyn, who arrested Tyrion without consideration of what this would mean to her family in King's Landing. Catelyn, who released Jaime without consideration for what this would mean to Robb and his leverage over the Lannisters. She may have had the best of intent in both situations...I wouldn't have trusted her with the truth about the child brought home from that war - though it might well cost me years of strife in my marriage. He'd made a promise to his dying sister. Honor is no easy road.
@aaronia80926 жыл бұрын
Great comment, thank you! I also want to emphasize that harboring a "dragonspawn" might have even be considered treason in the eyes of Robert, because any Targaryen kid (even being a bastard) might in the future raise armies to claim back the throne. There was a big line of Targaryen bastards (the Blackfyres) who provoked several horrible wars in the past claiming their right to rule, so that kind of "King's blood" is very dangerous to the "Usurper". That's why Rhaegar's children were killed and Robert wanted to kill Viserys and Danerys. Ned protected Jon's secret for all those years, because he promised Lyanna, and because he loved that boy, but he also was protecting himself and Cat and his real biological children, because if it was discovered he would have been considered a traitor... and all hell would have broken loose for his family (as it kind of happened anyway).

@twosquirrelly that makes absolutely no sense. It being written down in a family tree does not matter. If your mom has you with your dad and then cheats on your dad and has a baby with someone else, are you not related to that baby? It's not written down on a piece of paper so you can only think that you're related you can't automatically know that you're related because you have the same mother? You have to have it written down on a piece of paper in a family tree style in order for it to be your sibling? Being a bastard literally does not change who he shares blood with. They don't need to be added to family trees, even though they are in all of the Targaryen family trees, to be blood related to someone. They aren't fully blood-related, but they are blood related. So, no one needs to be legitimised in order for benjen to be Jon's uncle before the reveal of e10 Jon doesn't need to be legitimized in order for lyanna and rhaegar to be his parents and Dany to be his aunt by blood. Rhaegar is still his dad and rhaegar is still Dany's brother therefore, regardless of being a bastard or not Danny is still is Aunt and Jon is her nephew by blood, Not by a piece of paper. Regardless, your entire theory is thrown out the window because Jon is a bastard and in season 1, Robb calls him his brother, Arya calls him his brother, Benjen calls him his nephew. According to you, they can't do that because they're not related because he's not on a family tree. Nikki and Steven cannot figure out blood relations because it's not on a piece of paper in family tree Style? What does that even mean?

One thing that is emphasized in the books, but not touched on much in the show, is Arya's similarity in both personality and appearance to Lyanna. Lyanna was also a tomboy, interested in riding horses and fighting, and had no interest in more traditional "lady-like" pursuits. Both are said to be wild and have the wolf's blood. The show definitely gave a nod to their physical resemblance -- the actress who plays Lyanna was specifically cast to look like Maisie Williams. Through this we really see the strong bond between Arya and Jon as two outcasts of the Stark family.

Game of Thrones has been an escape for me and thanks to you, the enjoyment of the universe has increased exponentially thanks to your channel. I watch each episode multiple times because the sound of your voices alone has an uplifting effect on my spirit. I know a youtube comment is not the proper way to thank you, but I was not expecting another video from you today and today I really needed one.

Bad dialogue, ridiculous story, uncountable plot holes and the characters completely changed and everything they've done till now means nothing. Take Tyrion for example. He didn't do a single thing in the season except talking do Cersei in episode 7. Only Jon and Dany were important but I think they are the least complex characters in the show so it got boring.

After season six, I don't think it was confirmed that Rhaegar Targaryen was Jon Snow's father. It was certainly the prevailing theory, but no one knew for sure. Many, including myself, didn't even put it together until seeing things like this video. I guess it's the diligent note taking, but I was blown away that the two of you basically figured it out during the episode. Well done. Keep in mind, while watching season 7, that most viewers probably didn't take notes and didn't go online and see other people's theories. Many viewers still had no idea that Jon was a Targaryen.

This thread will probably be deleted because it's going against what the Mods (the self-proclaimed queens/kings of the commenting world) want. But here goes anyway.... *Tom Thontor* I wasn't directed or lead into any theory when it came to this show when I watched it the first time thru, up to season 5. During the wait for season 6, I started reading the books. I hadn't gotten past the 3rd book, before the season 6 started (I'm not a slow reader, I just was reading other books in-between, and I have a life outside of GoT/asoiaf). Anyway...my point is, I wasn't spoiled by anyone else's theories, and so I came up with my own. I won't bother to share it here, but it's not Rhaegar + Lyanna = Jon (and not the other popular alternative either - N+A=J, but I always give kudos to the Order of the Green Hand for coming up with a sound theory of their own - like me.) For that reason alone, I don't like that the mods spoon-fed this theory to Nikki & Steven. I wish they were given the chance to wait till after they've seen the whole show, to come up with their own theory, and share it with us. That would have been more real & spontaneous, IMO. *Rheya Colon* Even tho I don't approve in this hive minded theory, I still 👍all your comments, because I do think they should have at least waited to watch this video after the S7 bigger reveal. *Chimbles907* You asked, "Why would there be Targaryen Kingsguard guarding Lyanna if the father was anyone else?" Well, because - and only because - they were friends of Rhaegar, and I believe Lyanna was a friend too. But they shouldn't have been there in the first place, because they are *Kings* Guards,* and should have been with the *KING.*

There's a really cool theory/situation in the books involving Jon and Catelyn, where Cat was revived (similar to Berric Dondarion) after the Red Wedding and was "alive" when Jon is betrayed by the Night's Watch. The theory was that Cat would be the one to revive Jon by giving up her "life" for him, redeeming herself for mistreating him and failing to keep her promise about being a mother to him. There are a lot more details but that's the bare bones of it. I always thought that would have been a pretty awesome way for Jon's story to go. Anyway, awesome reactions as always, you two :-)

There's so much subtle acting going on here. Ned never breathed a word to anyone, not even his own wife because her distaste for Jon would make it more believable that he was his bastard. Jamie told Kat "You are a honest Woman." She would never ever be able to pretend, to act like she hated Jon if she knew the truth. Ned knew Robert would kill Jon. He warned Cerci before telling Robert he knew about the incest children because he knew Robert would kill her AND the children and he couldn't with his strong honor let that happen. This is why the Spider told Ned "Your mercy killed the king" And why Ned was so disgusted with Robert for wanting to go after Dany and her unborn baby that he stepped down as Hand of the King. "I'll kill every Targaryen I can get my hands on." "You can't get your hands on this one." - Yes we know he means Dany...but you also know NOW that inside he was also thinking of Jon. Ned had the strongest Honor. He honored his family over everything else. Even to his best friend and King. I often wondered, if Ned would have told Jon the truth about his mother and father.

But it's all moot anyway because neither Jon nor Daenerys can inherit the throne since it used to belong to the Baratheons (is Cersei still considered a Baratheon? Idk) and the only heir there is Gendry. If the Targaryens want the throne, they have to take it by force.

The Baratheons usurped them, then whatever "claim" Stannis the Loser thought he had, flew out of the window when Tywin kicked his ass. By conquest the Lannisters have it for now. But if Dany takes it, not only she will have conquest claim, but also by blood.

@@anycullen21 yeah, I'm not sure why everyone thinks that Robert is just casually killing babies because he hated one person in the family. That's not it. It's the fact that the baby can grow up and get people to rally behind them to take back the throne. Either based on their name, or like Dany did in Essos, by just being fireproof, a good person, and an inspiration. Targaryens ruled for like three hundred years, of course there's going to be a little bit more of a right by blood for a family to just try and take it away from the targaryens entirely. The only reason why Robert is King is because he has Targaryen blood from like his grandmother or something and it's also rumored that the very first Baratheon was Aegon the conqueror's bastard brother.

Soon thereafter he ascended the Iron Throne himself _*_as Robert I Baratheon, the progenitor of a glorious new dynasty._* The above extract makes it rather clear that Robert was establishing a new dynasty and a new line of succession, not laying claim to the Targaryen succession. _(The same goes for Cersei. )_ But of course then people will argue about his claim from his grandmother's line too, well yeah that was just a political move, to make his legitimate claim as *a conqueror* more more more legitimate with *blood* too so he could avoid some resistances from Targaryen loyalits (such as Dorne). It's just like he's saying _"Come on guys, look! I'm a Targaryen too, so, we're cool alright? Stop making unnecessary trouble for ourselves. We're all on the same page here, we all just hate the Mad King. Okay? All settled? Good. Now, bring me more wine!"_

I'm sure this prob has been suggested but if not, given how much you guys love Jon Snow you have to watch 'Jon Snow The White Wolf' by Zurik 23M. Hands down best Got/Jon Snow compilation vid on youtube! And that vid was made after episode 610 so perfect time to watch it

Regarding the line of succession: Normally it would favor male heirs and their sons, but Jon being born out of wedlock would mean he's still a bastard and has a nominally weaker claim than Daenaerys, a trueborn daughter. Of course, the reality is any claim is good enough if you win; Robert Baratheon had some super distant claim from like a great grandfather or something to be related to the Targaryens, but because he won the rebellion, he became King.

So glad you reacted to this one. It really is awesome to see all the clues laid out once you can go back and re-watch it. I always pondered if Master Aemon knew or sensed about Jon's parentage as apparently, Targeryans can 'sense' one another to some extent. Regarding the order of the Targaryen siblings, remember what they mention about when Dany was born. She was born while they were fleeing Robert's rebellion during a storm "Stormborn" and Rhaegar being infatuated with Lyanna is what triggered the rebellion. In fact, Rhaegar marrying Elia of Dorne was considered odd as Targayens routinely practiced incest to keep their blood line pure; The Mad King was married to his sister. I don't believe it made it into the show but I know at least in the books that Viserys at some point comments that if Dany had been born earlier, then Rhaegar could have been married to her and there would not have been this issue. So, Rhaegar is the eldest, then Viserys then Dany is the youngest. Her claim to the throne has always been because she was the last Targaryen after Viserys' death. GOT is very much based off medieval England lineage practices so a female can only inherit if there are no males. Can't wait to see you react to Season 7. The wait for Season 8 was be horrible but at least you'll have company.

The scene with Maester Aemon and Jon: they were talking about Jons real father: Arthur Dayne!!! Rhaegar in that regard makes no sense. The Nights Watch and the Kingsguards share the same oaths. Black and White. Jon wanted to be in the Nights Watch, just as his father was in the KG. Jon lost to Ygritte and love, just as Arthur broke his oath with Lyanna. ' Oathbreaker' was the title of the episode when we see Arthur Dayne.
