Ever since A Song of Ice and Fire was dramatized for TV, fans have wondered: what in heaven’s name happened inside the Tower of Joy? Does it mean that R+L=J? What happened to Lyanna Stark? What happened to Ned that so affected him?
We’ve already visited the Tower of Joy once this season, when Ned Stark and Arthur Dayne fought in “Oathbreaker.” But when it was time to go inside, the Three-Eyed Raven pulled Bran away. He’s not around to do that again.
SPOILERS AHEAD.
There’s a silence surrounding me
I can’t seem to think straight
I’ll sit in the corner
No one can spoiler me
It doesn’t have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking
————————————————————————–
Meet me Inside…
Finally, Ned Stark has entered the Tower of Joy, and Bran with him. Tonight we finally saw what happened to Lyanna Stark, and how she died. And it’s exactly as we suspected: she bled out after giving birth, because that sort of thing happened when one gives birth in an abandoned tower in the mountains of Dorne after the man who impregnated her died on the battlefield.
But what we perhaps hoped for–a concrete line, or a specific action that would confirm what we already knew–that history is written by the winners, and by men, and Robert needed that history of Lyanna to read that she was kidnapped and raped and killed by Rhaeger. Instead we wanted to see the truth–that she fell madly in love with Rhaegar Targaryen, forsook her betrothal to Robert (who she was bored by, at best), ran away with the already married Targaryen, willing got pregnant by him, and gave birth to their love child in a tower.
And now, we finally have proof….
Well, of the baby at least.
Welp. If that wasn’t *the* biggest hint, I don’t know what was.
But what did Lyanna whisper before promise me Ned? Was it that this is Rhaegar’s baby?
