Narrative episode to move it all along
Biggest words were those Tarlys wife uttered while readin old records suggesting Jon Snow is a Targerypn heir and I guess nephew to Dragon girl
Next two episodes are massive ..
It’s tightening up nicely
I wonder how the laws of succession work over there?
Aerys II is King and has a son and heir Rhaegar. Rhaegar annuls his marriage to Elia Martell and marries Lyanna Stark. Lyanna gives birth to the person we know as Jon Snow. When Rhaegar is killed, does this mean Jon is next in line to the throne? Is Jon the rightful king?
Or, does Targaryeon succession go indiscriminately to male and female siblings? I don't think so, because Westeros has not had a Targaryeon Queen. But, under that scenario, older brother Rhaegar dies (killed at Battle of Trident) and so King Aerys II's other children become heirs -- Viserys first, and when he dies, then Daenerys.
Is Daenerys the rightful ruler? Or does Jon Snow have a more legitimate claim to the throne, through his parentage by Rhaegar?
Probably doesn't matter because it seems inevitable that they will marry and unite Ice and Fire.
