Game Of Thrones: Everyone Who Knew Jon Snow Was A Targaryen (Before Him)
Game of Thrones’ biggest secret wasn’t kept quiet for too long once Jon Snow discovered he was a Targaryen, with several characters having already been aware of his true parentage. At the end of Game of Thrones season 7, it’s officially confirmed that Jon Snow is both a Stark and a Targaryen, the trueborn son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen. They had been quietly married shortly before Rhaegar was killed by Robert and Lyanna died during childbirth. Jon was raised as the bastard son of Ned Stark, with his honorable adoptive father never revealing the identity of his mother as Lyanna had asked Ned to protect her son as Jon would likely be killed by Robert if his true parentage was revealed.
