Maester Aemon knew everything... while Jon Snow knows nothing 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍
👍👍👍😂😂😂😂😎😎
Easy with the emojis now. It wasn't even close to that funny.
Ganskasnabb seriously dude go chill out with the White Walkers for awhile and come back when you've learned to have some fun 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😏
+Miss Madisson no really..please stop
There is that quote from Aemon," If the day should ever come when your lord father was forced to choose between honor on the one hand and those he loves on the other, what would he do? What is honor compared to a woman's love? And what is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms? "
ya... exactly what happened at the tower of joy... weirdly precise
Those 2 producers and G.R.R.M like to mess with our heads... dunno and i would recommend you to not hope for anything... just enjoy the cruelty in the show with cold blood. Take a glass of wine, sit on the couch and just enjoy the cruelty
thats what he means, lol
goosebumbs man.
I think he was saying that because of the vow he had taken when he joined the Nightswatch. To take no woman and father no children, even though the former one is not taken seriously.
Of course he knew. He also kept in touch with Blood Raven, through the birds. They were related and arrived at the wall together. He probably also spoke with Benjen about him more than once. Benjen knew, and he clearly loved Jon. So it was probably a big family conspiracy to keep him safe and make him a leader.
I wonder if that scene where Aemon spoke with Jon and said something along the lines of "There's nothing worse than a Targaeryan alone in the world" was an allusion to his knowledge of Jon's background...
Phillip Bernhardt-House it's was Sam he was talking to and Jon walks in as he is saying it!
And with the "kill the boy, and let the man be born" to Jon snow (aegon) he also said this to another aegon when he left for the nights watch
I don’t think so. He was actively discussing Daenerys at the time.
Could be. I noticed how the camera moved to Jon's face right after he said that.
No I don't think so he knew jon was a targaryen maybe he have a feeling yeah but he did say she was the only targaryen alone in the world....and also referring to himself that her relation I.e him(aemon targaryen)is thousand away from her dying....cuz at that time aemon was dying
I remember when Maester Luwin told Theon that there are secret paths in Winterfell when he advised him to escape to Castle Black and become a man of The Night's Watch.
That he did.
Obviously. Any noteworthy castle has to have secrete escape path as the last option to escape.
These will most probably be used by the weak and old as they are told to make their way to the vale.. Much Safer.. For me the name WINTERFELL has something to do with the white walkers..
@@ozking842 Winterfel might come from winter fell, as the Kingdom in the North is the first of all the westerosi Kingdoms to face winter and Winterfel is its capital. It could be both for the winter and the white walkers.
Elia and Rhaegar had a son they named Aegon. Elia, due to her delicate health, was bed-ridden for half a year after giving birth to Rhaenys and nearly died giving birth to Aegon, after which the maesters told Rhaegar she would be unable to have any more children.[18]
Maester Aemon, whom Rhaegar corresponded with via raven messages, remembers that Rhaegar believed his child Aegon to be the prince that was promised.[16]
Soon afterward, Aegon and Rhaenys were brutally murdered along with their mother by Ser Gregor Clegane during the Sack of King's Landing.[3]
My theory is Maester Aemon connected the dots of Ned Stark coincidentally having a bastard Son right after his sister Lyanna's Death at the Tower of Joy event and realised that Jon Snow is the promised Prince Aegon, just not Elia Martell's Son but instead Lyanna Starks son.
Andy Tan John stark isn’t a prince though! His farther died before he was born! So he was king as soon as he came out of his mother’s womb! Bran on the other hand! Was the prince when rob start was king in the north
He's not gonna be Aegon in the book. Rhaegar's other two kids were still alive when Jon was born. He wouldn't have two Aegons. The show just really fucked up some of the best parts of the story, for no reason. They also changed Asha's name to Yara, because they thought people were too stupid to differentiate between Asha and Osha. They also changed Hodor's original name from Walder to Willas, and the Mountain kept his own identity as a zombie, instead of becoming Robert Strong. It's insulting, really. I think even the simplest of the fans can follow the original names in the story.
@@mindyenglish5305 i read so many theories in the books that Aegon in the books is a fake or a Blackfyre
@@vfd8553 yeah, the boy cruising around with Griff is almost definitely fake. But Elia did give birth to a baby boy Aegon. That baby was murdered by the Mountain, though. He was still alive when Lyanna gave birth to Jon. So why would she name him Aegon? Rhaegar's first family wasn't murdered until after the Lannisters had taken King's Landing, which was right at the end of the war. It's possible that could have happened before the Tower of Joy scene, but she still wouldn't have known right away that her step children were dead. So why two Aegons?
@@mindyenglish5305 Ned went to the Tower Of Joy after the sacking of Kingslanding which would be roughly a month, so Jon was born a month after Aegon.
Aemon had to know because when he felt Jon's face he later proclaimed "Egg" which was Aegon's nickname. This shows that Jon and Aegon had physical features very similar to one another.
Yes, Aemon knew because he would've been the one to switch Jon's identity with the unidentifiable son of Rhaegar.
"Kill the boy Jon Snow, and let the man, (( )) be born". These are the words Aemon says about Egg, King Aegon V. "Kill the boy, Egg, and the man, King Aegon V, be born"
Which therefore means "Kill the boy, Jon Snow and let the man, Aegon, be born.
Jon is therefore AEGON.
Rikke Tamalemai congrats!
Rikke Tamalemai wow.. Nice one!
DAMN
Oh my god.
Bloody brilliant!
I could imagine that Aemon and Mormont knew about Jon. My theory is, that Benjen got told about it from Ned and he told Aemon. Benjen says to Jon in the first book, that Jon cant know, what he is giving up, when he joins the NW. In the context it seems like Benjen just means that he would never have a woman, but I could likely imagine that he really means it the other way. Also I never could imagine that Ned told NO ONE, that Jon is not his bastard, and benjen was most likely the Person he trusted the most...
Orgamina
Don't think that they would be so loose lipped with such dangerous secrets.
Yep. I can think of no reason why he would say that except for him knowing of Jon's true identity
Ned's honor is too strong. He shouldered the burden of that secret and it would only be cheapened if he told anyone about it.
Eric P I don't think Ned's honor would be in question if he told somebody about the truth. I don't see how honor would deter Ned from telling Benjen.
ChrisSanctum The way I see it, it's a secret he promised to take to his grave. He didn't even tell his wife, whose opinion of him was permanently stained because of it. I don't think Ned told a soul, because that's his character.
One thing that you didn't mention was that Maester Aemon and Rhaegar Targaryon were close and wrote to one another all the time. It is possible that Rhaegar wrote of Lyanna's pregnancy to his great uncle before he was killed. And Aemon could put two and two together.
17Petals1 I like to think that Mance is Rhaegar. I know that Mance's face was familiar to the men of the Night's Watch before Rhaegar "died" but maybe the real Mance is dead and Rhaegar has his face. I don't mean that he's one of the Faceless men, but that he is able to change his face with the magic Melisandre has. I mean, why would Melisandre switch Mance's face for Lord of Bones's? Why would she lie to everyone, even Stannis, that Mance is dead, though it was the Lord of the Bones? Why would she hide the real Mance under the false face? She had a motive, obviously. And why would Mance, the man who only fought for the freedom of wildlings and lost, accept some strange faith and kneel before someone? That doesn't make any sense. Rhaegar was obviously pretending to be Mance. I don't know did he really die in the battle of the Trident. Maybe he was resurrected by Thoros of Myr or some other red priest. Then, he escaped north of the Wall, killed Mance (probably from defence since he was an honourable man) and changed his face with the help of magic of Lord of Light. He "deserted" north of the Wall and managed to unite all the wildlings not only to save them, but also to retake the throne that should have been his. He was a born leader and a fierce warrior, of course he would want to be a king. Mance always loved to play the harf, just like Rhaegar did. Why would they put this similarity for no reason? They are obviously foreshadowing Rhaegar's identity. Mance was also very fond of Jon? Why? Because he heard the news of the Tower of Joy. He realised that Ned brought his bastard from Dorne from where he came after Lyanna's death. It was obvious that he lied since he was an honourable man so he wouldn't ever break his vows to Catelyn. Rhaegar was (or is) a smart man, so he realised everything. He was glad that Jon was the one who came to him. He liked him. After he came back to the wildling camp after the battle for the Wall, the real Mance would have killed Jon without thinking twice. But "Mance", actually Rhaegar, didn't want to kill his own son. Now that he failed, he is trying to accomplish what he wants to with the help of Melisandre. I still hope that he's gonna appear in the show. George RR Martin likes to put some character coming from the dead very early to let us know that they're alive, but doesn't write about them for a while so we almost forget them but that's when he brings them back into the centre. In the show, they postpone those same events. For instance, Balon's death. They are doing the same with this. Mance (Rhaegar), following the books, should have been alive in season 5. But he hasn't been seen for a while. That's why they didn't put him still in the show because there wasn't a need for it. They are gonna show him now, probably. Melisandre sent him before on a mission to save Arya. Maybe now he'll be with her in the riverlands trying to save her.
Not fully caught up with the books, but if Mance was/is Rheagar how come he was clearly terrified and harmed by the fire just before Jon put an arrow through his heart? Well in the show at least.
Isn't he resistant to fire???
targeryens are not resistant to fire dany was exception and even she is not permanently resistant only during that ritual bcs magic was involved. and in the books mance isnt burned
Actually your wrong Season 6 episode...um I'm not sure I think 4, it shows Dany touching the fire and putting her hands in it as she burnt those jerks alive and as the place went up in flames killing everyone she walks out and stands there naked as her clothes burnt off but she herself was fine and every1 started bowing....not to mention I think it was season 3 she again has her dragons kill this crazy guy who had her captive and her dragons he was some sort of a sorcerer or something anyway she had her dragons blast him with fire but they were chained up behind her, and she as well was chained up so she was engulfed in flames and that sorcerer died and she was of course fine, she even says it literally I'd say 8 times throughout the deration of the show, "Dragons, cant burn", she said it as well when her crazy brother who used to say he was the dragon, and she says dragons don't burn and he most certainly burned....So No your wrong she IS the mother of Dragons, and she IS resistant to fire she CAN NOT be burnt and has never been burnt so yes she is 100% permanently resistant to ffire, I'm actually wicked surprised to see your comment because its kind of common knowledge if you watch the show you would have seen for yourself the MANY times she has been engulfed in fire and NEVER burns ....
Maester Aemon's "delusional" last words = Aeg, Aeg etc = Aegon = Jon Snow
Rose Bud Aemon was probably talking about Aegon V “The Unworthy.”
True
my dose of GOT drugs
Cynthia R
I too was jonesin
You aint lying
you do a fantastic job mate! keep the awesome content coming you are making the wait for season 7 that little bit more bearable! :)
i accidently clicked on a video and i didnt hear your intro and some other guy i quickly clicked on the last harpy....that intro is just so calming. i really love your channel you are so professional and informative...i am a book reader however its been a while so i like the reminders you give and other information. Im so glad i found your channel. I lost one of my GOT people because he changed his page completely up. a little to corny for me with acting etc.
i appreciate what you do very much.. thanks from the fans that do not necessarily wanna say it, but actually feel how much they love what you do in these videos. i am one of them, and i hope you continue to make great GoT content.
Thanks Harpy for taking so much time to keep us busy while we wait for the next season!🐲
Always gets me thinking that you use that particular intro due to " I cannot rebuild your Homes (Reference to Bran the Builder - House stark) or raise your dead (Like the red priestess did to a half Stark (Jon Snow) but i can find you justice in the name of our king (He who passes the sentence should swing the sword / Being beheaded because he knew the identity of the king)" the so called justice, which we know there is none of in GoT. lovin the channel man.
I'd love some discussions on:
The crazy D + D = T theory
The 'southron ambitions' theory from the books, e.g. why it was possibly odd there were so many fosterings before the Rebellion? What's up with Lady Dustin?
Maybe a summary of the lesser theories behind the Tourney at Harrenhal - Ned and Ashara, Brandon and Ashara, Ser Barristan and Ashara, the links to Bael the Bard, why Rhaegar gave Lyanna the roses when Elia was still able to conceive?
What fans think Jon's name is, and why 'Aegon' is put forward as a contender? Rhaegar's children are mentioned in the show, but not their names?
Thanks for the daily uploads and always being so polite!
Thank you so much for doing these videos. I believe that Maester Aenon, on the low, he had a feeling bout Jon Snow's parentage... just because the writers either were messing with us or otherwise .
I think the crypts will have a protective quality similar to the blood ravens cave against the walkers
Mhmm how did you know this
I am a huge fan. Keep it up!!! Great vids
Your intro man... Could listen over and over
Goodmorning Harpy from Greece! Keep up the good work!
some flashback scenes in the show about maester aemon would be cool. young aemon
u never disappoint sir!
when maester aemon finds out about dany dragons in the books he tells sam that she is the last of his house. Suggests he does not know about r + l = j or at least does not regard Jon as part of his house
He does not know, because that is not true. HBO came and openly said that it's false (at least for the show).
Technically, Dany is younger than Jon, so she is indeed the last of his house.
Carole Scott what makes you think she is younger? Her mother was heavily pregnant when Rhaegar was killed. Jon wasn't born until after the war was won so enough time had passed for kings landing to fall and Ned to March to the city and wait for Robert to arrive
After a very long break this is finally again a very plausible theory!
The Land of Always Winter north of the Wall is connected to the Shadow Lands east of the Five Forts. White walkers come from both places, and wildlings are heard from as well, "Shadow raiders" to the YiTish.
In the book LC Mormont gives Jon a long life lesson on being the brother of a king and every example he gives are stories about Targaryen kings and princes. I always thought Jeor Mormont knew or figured.
I've always enjoyed Maester Aemon. He was wise and strong. Not strong in physical strength, but strength of character. He joined the Night's Watch for his brother's benefit and the benefit of Westeros. And then when he was old, his family was basically wiped out and he endured that pain better than most would have.
Aemon Targaryan may have known Rheagar and understand what had really happened.
*Great video. I've always gotten the impression Maester Aemon knew Jon's true lineage from the way he talked to him but just didn't want him to learn his whole life has been a lie and being distracted during his training.
how i miss that video back then!!
When Aemon died he said something about the little Aegon tagaryen
Great video! I have a question. I just watched the "History and Lore" on the bonus features of the Season 6 DVD. Ashara Dayne is finally brought up! Usually, the show runners are very careful not to include characters that won't make it in the show. Do you think we will see a flashback with her in it? Could she possibly be Quaithe? What are your thoughts?
That moment when you like a video before you even watch it 😁
next:
is house velaryon still loyal to house targaryen
House Velaryon was loyal to Stannis, but i think because they had no other choice. I guess they are still loyal to House Targaryen
FhrrdBnq
i hope it or they will bring house targ and bara together
Awesome video! I had a thought that the three eyed raven would use his green sight to show his brother maester aemon that Jon was the son of Rhaegar. I never followed up on this by watching episodes where Aemon was talking about Jon and seeing if may be his eyes were white or not thou. But it seems like too little too late now that we all have seen the vision at the tower of joy. How big would that have been if Aemon was being used by his brother in that fashion thou! We could have "known" without knowing we knew. Haha.
Peter Vaughan watch is ended. R.I.P
THANK YOU for saying that Maester Aemon did not directly know of Jon's parentage. None of the few who knew would have traveled to the Wall ; surely no one would trust that written and sent by raven. I have fought battles over this.
The intro is lit
I would love to a flash back of when Maester Aemon and his brother when they were young and how it came that he choose to become a Measter, plus as time when on the secrets about Rhaegar and Lyanna
An even better example to prove your case than the hightower is that Bran the builder was also responsible for raising the final build of Storm's End, along with the children of the forest, and it was built to withstand the wrath of the storm gods. The same storm gods that were able to destroy all those versions of Storm's End that Durran had attempted to build prior to getting Bran the Builder's help. He and the CotF were supposedly capable of weaving in magical protection runes to keep a structure safe from man and god alike... So the question of how, and more importantly who, facilitated in that lowest level of crypt having caved in is quite interesting.
What if someone purposely collapsed part of the crypts to keep the dragons eggs that were supposedly lain there hidden? Might sound stupid but just a thought.
You need to start making videos again. I used to love watching them daily
So, in season 7 it is revealed that one of the maesters married Lyanna and Rhaegar. This was written down in one of the books that Samwell had to transcribe. If Aemon, being a Maester had access to these books, or knew the maester that married Lyanna and Rhaegar, he may very well have known who Jon really was. If he did know, he wasn't going to allude to it knowing that it could put Jon's life in danger.
I believe Aemon knew that Raeghar annulled his matrimony w Elia and remarried Lyanna. Either by Rhaegar telling him himself since they were close, or because Aemon was a Maester, and had access to the document the other Maester did legitimizing Raeghar's new matrimony. Too many opportunities for Aemon to know, and there was plenty of time as well.
now that we know the marriage between rhaegar and Lianna was documented in a book at the citadel. maybe master aemon read this book. seeing how it was his own family, im sure he would know this
Why would aemom be at the citadel? He’s been with the nights watch decades before Rhaegar was born. He wouldn’t be allowed to leave.
when he spoke with him the first time no, but when he protected him and made him the Commander i think that he knew that he has Dragon blood.. you return to epic videos. well all we have the ups and downs
How would he know he had dragon's blood?
he grew up in king landing.. he knows things and characteristics.. he knew things that we do not.. perhaps not eve Martin knows. He stepped down of being the King, he said that he thought that he was the last Dragon. It does not matter any more. What Martin used there is a technique from Hommer. We know, Aemon knows but Jon knows nothing. Tragic irony in whole Series and many easter eggs from s1 to s3.
yannis zaxaro Aemon is blind, so what characteristics are you talking about? And nowhere does it mention that Targs can sense other Targs.
Eric P Aemon wasn not always blind. and blind ppl can understand other things. u will see in the series that there are 2 levels of war. the not inportant ppl war and the war of the gods
yannis zaxaro Aemon was blind when he met Jon. And you are making less and less sense.
PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY THE NIGHT KING DIDN'T KILL SAM. Thanks♥
Vonda Krakar Love so sam could spread the mesage about that the white walkers are coming
think back to the first episode/first chapter, why did the walker let that "deserter" go living? fear tactics
I agree on the fear factor. Up to this point, no one believed that the walker are real.
Vonda Krakar Love he didn't actually see him
Mr Who he looked right at him lol. I'm thinking the same way as these other comments..they let him to go to spread the word. Just like the guy who deserted and was executed by Ned Stark.( who also didn't believe white walkers were real)
i finished Game OF Thrones The last Weak And i ALmost Watch all The videos of your Chanel You Have a good Theroy That Makes Me Wonder Alot So Keep Going Mate. Can The White Walkers kill The Dragon? or make him Be on there Side?. Thx
In the scene when Aemon reveals who he is to Jon, Jon is speaking to Aemon about Eddard and Robs war and says 'he was my father, rob is my brother' Aemon gives a laugh at those words, because he knows the truth that they are not. Rhaegar wrote letters to Aemon and likely informed him of Lyanne being pregnant with his son prior to the battle of the trident. Also as Eddard knew Jon's parentage, he likely trusted Benjan with this information, who when he joined the Watch and became first ranger, could have also discussed this with Aemon.
The stone that castle (the one Jon was born in) is built on, resembles the stone in the middle of the frozen lake they were stranded on with the dead surround...
GOOD VIDEO AS ALWAYS. Question, if tyrion is a targaryen , how did Kinvara (the high red priest and the first) if mel can sense it you would think she would be able to tell.
Ayyy!!! You talked about my comment:D
And now his watch is ended. RIP Peter Vaughan
RIP Peter Vaugn. 93 is a solid age.
Maester Aemon had to K N O W! He is not only a Targaryan, but as a Measter he had the same access to Citadel's library as did every other Maester and student at Oldtown including Samwel Tarly and although Sam hasn't put it all together as yet, Maester Aemon had many more years to study the history of Westeros. I think he HAD TO KNOW!!
Benjen spilled tha beans
how about hordor being a white walker and bran being still able to warg into him hmmmmm
Jonathan Fagan mordor*
or hodor
So essentially an undead giant of man that is quite tough to kill. I've seen this somewhere... The showdown between the two would've been incredible but I don't want Sandor to lose on the other hand...
He already uploaded a video about the dead hodor theory.
Hey gr8 channel n videos..... do enjoy following ur videos. I wud like to bring to ur notice a theory that the "Red Priestess' are mind readers".
Remember the scene when Mellisandre is trying to reduce Jon from season 5? it wud be pretty obvious that when Jon thought about Yigritte at that moment. I mean he loved her and won't cheat on her even if she is dead. it wud be pretty obvious that Jon thought about her last words "You know nothing, Jon Snow" and that is when Mellisandre read his mind and said the same words to man him believe in her. Also the scene where Kinvara speaks to Varys about magic. It wud again be pretty logical that Varys (when confronted with a magician) wud think about his tryst with black magic and the Red Priestess of Mereen read his thoughts and started provoking him to think more about it. if you see the scene again you might observe how her questions quite sequentially try to make Varys think about the entire incident so that even she may get to know by reading his thoughts. Mellisandre may have read Stannis' thoughts too many a time and therefore she clearly knew what dreams to show him and how to control his thoughts. please look into this theory and try to answer in any of ur videos. I did really hope to see this theory in one of your videos. 😊
Very good point here.
Master Aemon might have had more knowledge than we know of. Maybe he even was a person Rhaegar confided in especially after the mad king was killed. But that would be purely speculatory.
Aemon heard targarian in jons voice. You forget: he grew up in kings landing.
I think in the context of Jon being at Castle Black, it's less about his complicated lineage and more to do with his character. He's proven time and time again the kind of man he is, he has great leadership qualities, he is a fine warrior but hates fighting, he makes strong friendships, becomes allies with enemies whom he grows to respect, protects the vulnerable, brings justice to those who deserve it, and does what is right no matter the personal cost. I do believe Benjen and Maester Aemon knew - Benjen was the Stark in Winterfell when Ned returned from the war with a baby and Lyanna's bones (and Lyanna and Benjen were close as children); and Rhaegar sent ravens to "Uncle Maester" at Castle Black. He knew more than he let on; so did Benjen. What I appreciate is that both men, Benjen and Aemon, made sure Jon Snow earned everything he got at Castle Black.
and now we may never know... RIP in show and out. :(
Would You please do a video delving into the little birds of Varys and the part the will play in the forthcoming.
The Ravens told him ♡♡ Just like when he was old the Ravens waited before telling him, his family had been slaughtered
The books are leaning towards the direction of underground tunnels possibly connecting the two (and maybe going as far south as Greywater Watch), but it does not look like the Show is going in that direction.
RIP Peter Vaughan, guy who played Aemon. :(
In the video season 3, the young lannister who was kept as hostage, Kartin Lannister and his brother killed by Karstark before Rob beheaded him was used later in the Season 5 as Tormen Lannister.... pls watch again... GOT lolz
Not sure if anyone else has considered this, (I have not read the rest of the comments) but I feel that it is likely that Maester Aemon realized the connection.
During Robert's War, there was a period where Lyanna was "kidnapped" by Rhaegar. During that time, she would have been pregnant. What are the odds that Rhaegar would have kept that a secret from his own family. Even if he did keep it a relative secret, he most likely would have had a maester assist to ensure the health of Lyanna and his unborn child. That maester probably would have communicated this outcome back to the Citadel, if not Aemon directly as he was Rhaegar's family. Combine that with Aemon knowing the history, as stated in the video, and it is not a huge assumption to make that it could be pieced together.
I believe Maester Aemon was blind already by that point, so if someone sent him a letter explaining about the birth, then there would necessarily be someone else who knew the secret as well. Something to consider
Please discuss the Horn of Winter.
Also, Rhaegar was known to be close to and correspond with Aemon.
bran, little finger and maybe even varys know who jon's true parents are. i think the half man may just be 1/2 dragon.
Maester Aemon Nearly cried that he wasnt able to council dany another targaryen alone in the world, little did he know he was allready counciling the True Targaryen, and he died thinking he Didnt help a Targaryen on their Rise. Supper depressing
not sure if you covered this, but when Jon Snow is killed, the blood stain on the ground resembles the shape of a dragon, and the camera stays on it for a good few seconds. just thought this might be an interesting detail to explore
RIP Peter Vaughan :( And now his watch has ended..
It there a chance we can see Sothoryos? I'd like to see the different races that live down there
longer vids pls.
Now we know (Season 7) that the marriage of Rhaegar and Lyanna was recorded in the rolls at the grand library - so Maester Aemon could have known about Jon.
What if Aemon is the one that married Jon's(Aegon) father and mother, I have a theory, Aemon used to study in old town but what if in season 7 the books that Samwell and his girlfriend were reading about the marriage of Lyanna was Aemons book before he went blind
R.I.P MASTER Aemaon !!
Talk about the mermaids and the possibility of the appearance in the season 7
If Aemon could see Jon's face he would have known in an instant.
Maester Aemon probably did know especially if he trained at the citadel. He might have read the scroll about the Rhagaer divorcing Elia and marring Lyanna.
It may be possible that Rheagar did tell Aemon he and Lyanna we're expecting, but made him swear to keep it secret in order to protect the baby until the time was right in much the same way Lyanna made Ned swear. Because they are both honorable and loyal men (heck, Aemon turned down the throne because of his vows with the citadel) they kept their oaths without ever knowing someone else knew. However, it is unlikely that Aemon knew Jon was Rheagar's son due to the fact that Rhaegar died at least a month or two before Jon was born and it's obvious that Lyanna never updated Aemon; if she had she would have made sure Ned knew he didn't have to carry the secret alone. Aemon most likely assumed she miscarried since there was never any mention of the baby.
Sadly no flashbacks as the actor who played Aemon Targaryen died around about last week. R.I.P.
I haven't read the books, but I thought I had heard in other GoT videos that Rhaegar had written to Maester Aemon while he was at the wall, more than once. If that's true, maybe Rhaegar told him about the prophecy of the Prince that was promised and maybe even that he had met Lyanna Stark?
i'm pretty sure, that aemon talked to john in the first season and said something like: if ned stark would have to choose between his honour and the ones he loves, how do you think he would decide? So that's a clear hint for aemon knowing more in my opinion...sorry for my english, i'm from Germany ;)
you did a video on the possibility of Bran being Bran the builder. if its possible for Bran to influence the past in such a way, do you see it possible for someone like Jon being Azor Ahai in the past aswell as (possibly) in the present? due to the Stark bloodline, and the abilities it possesses?
Bran the Builder didn't build the Hightower in Oldtown, he did oversee the construction of Storm's End however. The Hightower is older than even the first men.
and now his watch has ended !
RIP !
He did know!! He kept in contact with his nephew
I agree master aemon was astute and put things together and felt that Jon was Rhaegar's son, but as Ned kept the secret so did he keep his feelings from Jon.
From the very beginning, did we get a hint that Jon was Targaryen? When the dire wolf puppies were found, each Stark child got one, except for Jon Snow, who later found Ghost, the runt, who was also stark white (pun) colored, perhaps emulating the silver/platinum hair of a Targaryen in contrast to Jon's raven hair.
This may sound like a dumb question! The calendar year here on earth is 365/ 366 days. But the calendar year for Westos, how many days in their calendar year? Plus do they have a 24 hour time period as we do, or something different?
I thought of a theory that arya may go north and Sansa who is pretty pissed off goes and tells arya that lord "Bolton" is sleeping in jons old room, so she goes in to find a sleeping jon and attempts to kill him
I agree with you that Aemon was able to figure it all out. Im sure he heard about the prophecy all the time growing up with Rhaegar. Also why I believe Aemons last word was Egg, Jons real name is Aegon.
sup just a few questions.... is Sam the writer of game of thrones story and writes it when he leaves castle black? and when Sansa goes back to winterfell with little finger to the boltons the scene when she is lighting candles in the crypt she stops at her aunts and picks up something beside it ... is it just a feather or a quill? she couldn't examine it cause little finger came .... what do you make of this
sam can only speak from the things he lived and experimented.
i think the most accurate guess, would be that bran, having the ability to see everything, wrote the story
