Warning: Like winter, spoilers are coming
The Season 6 finale of Game of Thrones revealed to us that Jon Snow's mother is Lyanna Stark, the sister of Eddard Stark, but the episode didn't reveal who his father is. However, HBO might have accidentally confirmed who his father really is. An infographic on the Making Game of Thrones blog provided some information about it.
Rhaegar Targaryen didn't just abduct Lyanna Stark, he also impregnated her, and Jon Snow is their son. As a lot of fans expected, the "R+L=J" theory that has been circulating for years, was finally confirmed.
We've seen several clues in the books and the show that supported this truth, but this is the first time it's been officially confirmed. With the fight for the Iron Throne charging up, this could have some huge implications for the final two seasons.
The infographic reveals how all the main players in the Game of Thrones universe are connected, with links including who they're allied with, who they married, and who they killed.
