In the American author George R. R. Martin’s fantasy book series A Song of Ice and Fire and its television adaption Game of Thrones, where English actor Kit Harington portrayed him, Jon Snow is a fictitious character.
Jon Snow serves as a pivotal point of view-figure in the books. One of the series’ most well-liked characters, he is ranked among the best fictional characters by The New York Times.
Because Jon plays a significant role in the TV series, viewers enjoyed the plot of his episode in the season 5 finale. Readers and TV program fans have been speculating much about the character’s parents.
In the 1996 film A Game of Thrones, Ned Stark, Lord of Winterfell in the North of Westeros, introduces Jon as his illegitimate son. Jon joins the Night’s Watch, a group that protects the far northern boundaries from the wildlings who live beyond The Wall, despite his knowledge that his chances are limited given his status as a bastard.
In A Clash of Kings (1998), Jon infiltrates the wildlings as part of a reconnaissance expedition to look into the mounting threat posed by the mysterious “Others” beyond the Wall.
Who is Jon Snow’s real father?
The real father of Jon Snow is Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. Prince Rhaegar Targaryen was born, the oldest child of King Aerys II Targaryen, the Mad King and the last Prince of Dragonstone.
He was Viserys and Daenerys Targaryen’s older brother and Elia Martell’s husband. Rhaenys and Aegon, their two children, were born. Lyanna Stark, who he secretly married after Elia gave him an annulment, was Jon Snow’s mother.
