Bobby B is so bitter with the Targaryens that he wanted to extinct them. Ned being the uncle of Jon would not do it because of his promise to his sister. A rift may occur to the best pals that can lead to war between the North and Riverlands against the Crown.

    I think Ned created the Ashara dayne rumor in case jon got any targaryen features like the silver hair/purple eyes. House dayne is known to have similar features. By saying his mother is a dayne it would have kept robert away, because if robert knew jon was a targaryen he would have killed him.

    Cat doesn't care that Ned has a bastard. She acknowledges that men, especially during war times, have needs and that most lords have bastards. What pisses her off about Jon is that Ned brought him to live with their family. While most lords would quietly take care of their bastards from a distance, Ned brought his into their house to be raised with her kids and thus flaunting his infidelity. Thats what really hurts Cats pride. Something tells me Brandon was the kind of guy that wouldn't pay any of his bastards a second thought and Cat would go on living a blissfully ignorant life.

    While that sounds like a tragic tale that George would go with, I have a theory that Ashara Dayne and Brandon Stark (Ned's brother, not the son) were secretly in love and planned to wed each other. But before Brandon could call off the wedding to Catelyn, he heard of Lyanna's "kidnapping" and went to King's Landing (no need to explain the rest there).

    A much less common theory is that Aegon is a Dayne, the son of Ashara. The Dayne's famously have the silver hair and purple eyes like the Targaeryans and Aegon is roughly 17-19 at the end of Dance. Putting him just older than Jon who is 17 (plus of minus a couple months) at the end of Dance. The timeline works out, but if Aegon is closer to 19 than 17, it would point to him being legitimate

Yes I know what the 4th point is refering to, after Roberts Rebellion rumors were spreading about Ned and Ashara around Winterfell. That they had a thing, that Jon was her son. Catelyn eventually asked him about it, and it was the first time she was afraid of him. We don't have an exact transcript of that conversation, but the implication was that Jon was her son.

Ashara is mentioned by name in Clash of kings, Storm of Swords and Dance of Dragons. Mentioned by name or rumored in four books for a character never truly introduced to be alive nor be truly driving the story forward especially without a POV character seems suspicious if she isn’t important. Other than Aryes the mad king, Rhaegar and Lyanna who are important to the story-why is Ashara mentioned so often?

    It’s very interesting. Especially the eye colour description, not often is eye colour described but Ashara and Septa Lemour are both described as having the same eyes. When Cat is bitching about Jon at the beginning Ned yells at her to “never mention Ashara” It’s further peculated that Ned actually married Ashara by the old gods and that when he returned cross country to the north and called the banners that he was further held up at the river lands by cats dad who made him do something he didn’t want to in front of the gods. That would have been disavow his marriage at take Cat who was promised to his brother. That’s why cars uncle was so pissed he left then and didn’t talk with his brother.

    Selmy who was in love with Ashara seems to think Ned is a pretty ok guy which would be weird if Ned slept with her and then dumped her while pregnant leading to her suicide. My money is on Brandon being the Stark that dishonored her, not Ned. I wonder if Septa Lemore is Ashara, but how does she hide the purple eyes? That’s a pretty noticeable feature and Tyrion would have picked up on that fairly quickly. Unless she uses some kind of magic or glamour to hide her eye color. Septa Lemore is most likely someone though, Tyrion was trying to figure out who she might be.

    It is possible that Brandon planned to call off his wedding to Catelyn in favor of marrying Ashara, who could have captured his heart, especially if she was pregnant with his child. The problem that could have stood in the way of that happening was Lyanna's "kidnapping", which he would take a detour to King's Landing that forever changed those plans.

    I agree she would be proud to be the surrogate mother of the true Prince of Westeros. Catelyn might have gossiped or Ned thought it would put her and the kids in danger of execution from Robert if he ever found out about Jon. Catelyns hatred and contempt would have protected her.

    Jon’s Mother is confirmed to be Lyanna Stark. It’s why Dan and David got permission to make GoT one question GRRM asked was “Do you know who Jon’s mother is”. It was Lyanna. George RR Martin speaks about it on his personal blog.

    Wylla was a wet Nurse In service to House Dayne. Ned Dane even says he and Jon Snow are “milk brothers” and she is not a fisherman’s daughter. The fisherman’s daughter was a whole other woman. These are just theories that ppl have of who Jon Snows mom Is. The Daynes helped Ned cover up Jon Snows birth parents because they were loyal to the Targaryens, and probably hold Ned in high regard as well , since they named the Lord of Starfall after him . The fishermens daughter was probably paid off as well

    I follow this theory there is more evidence for this than ragar and lyanna especially considering aegon is a separate character in the books and more likely to be there’s Jon is a Ned clone in every way. He calls him his son, he hasn’t thought of ragar in quite years bit weird if your raising his kid and the hair to starfall is called Ned named after Ned stark bit weird if your sister killed herself because of a stark and your brother was killed by a different one. Also it is stated by mera reed that Brandon introduced Ned to ashara where they fell in love and her dad howland reed is the only one who would know considering he’s Ned’s best friend after Robert and the only one who was there for aegons birth and Jon’s removal. Also George has a thing if you don’t see them die they ain’t dead. Even Cersei knew about Ned and ashara. “I wonder did Ashara kill herself over the brother you slew or the baby you took?” It’s in the first season and the first book. R+L=J is bollocks even George’s wife laughed at it when a fan brought it up saying that’s too simple for George he doesn’t do fairy tails.

    -there are tons of characters who are missing and we'll never find out if they are dead or not, Asharas suicide isn't even questioned by in universe characters, they all agree that she is dead. And to name a few characters who vanish but are considered dead by other characters and most of the fandom: Gerion Lannister, Tyrek Lannister, Raynald Westerling, Syrio Forell and don't even get started with F&B. -the whole Jon Snow is Aegon Targaryen can't be book canon to begin with and doesn't say anything about the books since it's utterly made up by the show runners. -Ned Dayne is Edric Dayne, not Eddard, he isn't named after Ned Stark and Edric doesn't even think that Ashara is Jon's mother, but his wetnurse Wylla is. -Cersei is the worst source for everything, but it's a common rumor that Ashara is Jon's mother, which is evidence for her being Jon's mother, but not actual proof. -you stated that Howland was the only one there for "Aegons birth and Jon's removal", I'm guessing you are refearing to Jon Snow in both cases, since Howland was never near any Aegon during his birth, but that is currently a show only thing and we have no confirmation of Howland being present for Jon Snows birth in the books, we only know that Howland found Ned with Lyannas body, which is usually used as evidence for R+L=J, not N+A=J -Ned doesn't even think about his own dead mother, why would he consistently think of Rhaegar? The only dead person Ned thinks of and dreams of often is Lyanna. -GRRM wife laughing at things does not mean anything in the context of canon, she could be laughing because she knows it's true, she could be laughing because she knows it's false, she could be laughing because it's dumb to ask her. -there is nothing wrong with N+A=J as a theory, but you're mixing up a few things here between show and book canon and there are plenty decent points in the N+A=J theory that matches the books, I'd say less evidence than R+L=J, but plenty to make a decent theory

    Okay, I need to ask this, but do people think that Jon’s mom could be Ashara and his dad could be Brandon? Like, if she did sleep with Brandon, Jon could have existed right? I mean, Catelyn does just call Jon a babe when he’s brought to winterfel, and maybe he was a little small, so he looked like a baby. And maybe, if the older Jon doesn’t make sense, Ashara could have met Brandon before him going into the Red Keep. I know that R+L=J is the best theory we have but I would love to see Jon have some people to throw up as possible moms.

But it makes sense because Lyanna is presented in a way that doesn't make her a straight up candidate, because we're led to believe that Ned is the father, when in reality Ned is the distraction. And besides, why would the mystery of Jon's mother matter so much to keep hidden? Unless if it was to protect him.

Also, it isn't too hard to believe that Jon was gifted a direwolf. It's to represent his Stark blood within. It could very well be possible that after he's brought back to life in the books, he could embrace his Targaryen side by finding and bonding with a dragon later on, discovering a balance between both Stark and Targaryen.

    Wylla and the Fisherman's daughter are two separate persons. They and Ashara are thought to be Jon's mother in different parts of Westeros. In the Vale, they believe his mother is the Fisherman's daughter, and that she named Jon after Jon Arryn. In Starfall and possibly the rest of the Dorne people believe Jon's mother to be Wylla, a servant from Starfall. And some people like Cercei believe Jon's mother was Ashara Dayne. Fortunately, no one in Westeros suspects Lyanna Stark.

    So Ned would have gone to war against his sister? Robert’s rebellion makes no sense. All Rhaegar would have to do would be to reveal that Leanna dumped Robert for him which is what happened. Ned would not choose Robert over his sister. R+L=J is a cop out theory. Ashara being Jon’s mother and Ned having to care for Jon while being forced to marry Catelyn Tully is the appropriate response by both Ned and Catelyn in the book. Catelyn is upset by Jon’s presence as Ned’s bastard with the woman he truly loved and Ned is protective of Jon because of the love he had for his mother and also on the back foot due to Catelyn’s jealousy. It also gives Littlefinger’s betrayal of Ned a better understanding since Littlefinger loved Cat but she was given to Ned. I sincerely hope Martin does not take the R+L=J approach to finish the books since with the introduction of Griff, it is a terrible premise and as I pointed out, makes no sense no matter how much emotional impact it may have.

Jon not being their son doesn't cancel that out. Even the one time he mentions Ashara seems like he doesn't want people to think of her like that, and gets really angry when Cat brings her up
