Will Jon learn about his real mom and dad when burying Rickon in the Winterfell crypt? Hopefully we’ll find out soon!
Original Theory: The theory that Jon Snow is actually the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark is so convincing that it is basically revered as canon within the Game of Thrones fandom. Scenes featuring King's Guard knights donning Targaryen armor and battling in front of a tower in the season six promotional material point to flashbacks about the Tower of Joy, where a young Ned Stark battled Rhaegar Targaryen to the death and found his sister Lyanna dying inside, which could finally reveal her dying words — and entrustment of the newborn baby Jon — to Ned. If Jon is brought back to life and learns of his Targaryen heritage, he could be the "ice" to Daenerys's "fire."
