Robert confesses that all these years later he only thinks of his feelings for her. I can't even remember what she looked like," Robert told Cersei. Someone took her from me and seven kingdoms couldn't fill the hole she left behind. All of this points to Robert being out of touch with the real Lyanna, and instead fixating on an idealization of his future bride. Ned calls out Robert on this misunderstanding of Lyanna in the books. From the season seven finale, we know now that Lyanna eventually ran away and married Prince Rhaegar Targaryen instead.
Lyanna's wild "wolf" qualities may have contributed to this rash decision, but there's still so much we don't know. To learn more about Rhaegar and why Lyanna might have fallen in love with him, read our explainer on the fateful Tourney of Harrenhal. What matters is Robert believed Rhaegar kidnapped Lyanna against her will, and this was the main motivating factor behind his rebellion against the Targaryens. Robert killed Rhaegar during the ensuing war, but he never saw Lyanna again. She had just given birth to Jon whose real name is Aegon, but more on that here.
Lyanna was dying, likely as a result of childbirth complications, and she made Ned promise her that he would keep her baby safe. Baby Jon needed protection from Robert's wrath, and from anyone threatened by the true heir to the Iron Throne and Targaryen dynasty. So Ned Stark raised Jon Snow as his own bastard, and the secret of his "wolf" and "dragon" parentage lay dormant — until now. Will people rally around him as the true heir to the Seven Kingdoms when they learn about his Targaryen heritage?
What will Daenerys think of her new lover when she learns the truth? Then, in season seven, Bran went ahead and confirmed what everyone was thinking when Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen had sex: They're technically nephew and aunt. Game of Thrones keeps it casual like that. United States. Type keyword s to search. Luckily for Daenerys, Jon Snow has never expressed a desire to rule anything or anybody. It remains to be seen how the rest of Westeros might feel about that.

After believing that Rhaegar kidnapped Lyanna, the Baratheon waged war on the Targaryen family and vowed to overthrow the Mad King. However, when Ned finally got to the top, it was too late — Lyanna was dying, having just given birth to a child. That child was Jon Snow — the son of Rhaegar.
You know he will. You have to protect him. Promise me, Ned.
