two, that a certain character we know of has the ability to look through weirwoods and see the past. Having Bran flashback to see the marriage of Lyanna/Rhaegar would be a great and likely way to 'spill the beans' on R+L=J in a more straightforward way. I don't know if there is anyone else who could be used to see direct evidence of R+L=J, except good old High Septon Reed, and I think HS=HR is far less likely than Bran seeing through weirwoods and discovering R+L marrying. | ||

There could be a few reasons, but Bran still seems way more likely edit: O hey, I should know this but, is it possible Benjen knows anything about Jon's parentage? | ||

I mean it's possible, but I really wonder as to why Ned would tell him : "yo by the way this bastard isnt mine imao" "wtf u on about bro, u mean u found the kid or wat" "nah man, it's lyanna and rhaegar's son, sis asked me to hide him from bobby b" "wtf man fuck dis aint staying here with some targaryen im going to the wall" But again i could be completely ignorant and Ned has a reason of some sort but I don't think that's the case. Despite the weird Benjen appereance in the trailer...I think he's still dead. We'll see. EDIT : It's not stated as to why Benjen joined the NW | ||

They make love all day long. Daenerys abandons plans about anything. It's time to have a family. | ||

They wouldn't have kingsguard, and a lot of it, guarding a concubine pregnant with a bastard. It doesn't even take invocation of 'dragons are above the laws of gods and men' for Rhaegar to rationalize it either. Elia was for all intents and purposes barren and hadn't yet produced enough children. (critically the customary preferred minimum of 2 sons) Just LOL, how the hell is having 2 children, a boy and a girl, in the span of like few years cosnidered "barren". No, barren means unable to give birth, not "well, pretty good, but a breed-sow would have done better, so i guess u are barren" | ||

After the rebellion Ned inherited the house, and after a few years had children so Benjen was no longer the heir apparent. So Benjen could do the traditional northern thing and take the black without anything special. Since taking the black in the north was considered more or less the norm for members no longer in the line of succession, not too unlike old Mormont passing the house down to Jorah by taking the black. There might even have been some sort of tradition of younger Starks taking the black, but I can't recall for sure. | ||
