Spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 7. Jon Snow’s real name from Game of Thrones may have just been revealed.
Game of Thrones returns to HBO on July 16.
As the books continued, the predominant fan theory that emerged was R+L=J: that Jon was actually the son of Ned’s sister, Lyanna, and secret lover Rhaegar Targaryen.
However, we still have a long way to go until Jon takes up his royal mantle, although we do now know that when he does he won’t be going by Jon Targaryen.
