Jon Snow: reality and assumptions

The world created by writer George Martin, differs a lot of characters, on behalf of whom it is told about the events in Västerås. One of the narrators was a young man named Jon Snow (Jon Snow).

Childhood hero

John was born in the North. His father is one of the most powerful lords of the Seven Kingdoms, Lord Eddard Stark. However, the young man could not become the legitimate heir of many riches and the successor of the family, because he was born out of wedlock. Like the other Bastards of the North, John got the name Snow. However, his fate was very different from the fate of an ordinary illegitimate boy.

As a man of honor, Ned took the boy to raise him with his other children. In those years he was already married to Katilin Tally and was expecting her first-born. The baby Robb was born almost at the same time as John. But the legitimate son was much more like the mother's family than Starkov. But John took all the features of the exterior of the northerners.

Jealousy to John's mother and the fear that the bastard could inherit his father's possessions instead of Robb, made Katilin feel dislike for her husband's foster child. She was not kind or nice to him. However, he did not go to the frank humiliation of the boy.

Not knowing the maternal love, Jon Snow (Jon Snow) often tried to imagine what his real parent was. Ned did not even speak her name. So one of the main mysteries of "Song of Ice and Flame" appeared.

Fan theory

Not knowing the name of John's mother, the fans, along with the hero himself, tried to understand who had brought him into the world.

One of the most popular theories is the story of Lianna and Prince Reygara. Lianna was Ned's sister. She was promised to Robert Baratone. However, the charming northern woman fell in love with the Crown Prince, who also abducted her. Lianna died in her youth. The fans suggest that Lianna, before her death, gave birth to a child from Prince Reyegar, who was asked to take care of Ned. And that's exactly what Jon Snow is. According to another theory, Lianna gave birth to a girl and a boy. The baby was brought up by Reed's family.

Other fans believe that John is really the son of Ned. And for the role of mother, several women claim at once. From Lady Eshara Dane to one of the nameless maids.

Youth of John

Bastard could not hope for fame and fortune, the heirs of which, in any case, were legitimate children. At the same time, Ned did not hurry to make John his son at the document level and give his name. However, there was a way out. Bastard could achieve fame and honor as the brother of the Night Watch.

One of the brothers Ned Bengen already served on the Wall and was considered one of the most respected scouts. Rare encounters with his uncle settled in the head of a young man dreams of the far side of the heroes who defend the world of the living from the world of the dead. Having reached a suitable age, Jon Snow (Jon Snow) went to the Wall to join her defenders. However, the reality turned out to be much more harsh than the young man's.

John Snow on the series

Unexpected popularity became popular George Martin. "The Song of Ice and Fire" became famous throughout the world. The story of Västerås distinguished itself against other fiction novels by its unpredictability and fascinating plot. And then it was decided to remove the series based on books. It was called Game of Thrones. Jon Snow was claimed as one of the central characters.

Play bastard Ned Stark entrusted to young British actor Keith Harrington. After the release of the first series, he woke up famous. Throughout the creation of the series, he grows up and changes with his character. And at first Harrington, like many other actors, caused disapproval of the fans of books, he gradually merged with his hero. Now very few people represent John to others.

John Snow is one of the brightest representatives of the younger generation in the series of books "The Song of Ice and Flame". There are many theories and assumptions associated with it. And this means that the hero will still make itself felt in the further narrative.
