‘Game of Thrones’ (GoT) Season 6 Rumors: Jon Snow is a Stark but his father was Rhaegar Targaryen not Ned Stark

Bran Stark is all grown up and will be seen after a hiatus of one whole season in "Game Of Thrones" season 6.

The upcoming Game of Thrones Season 6 will not only answer the questions surrounding Jon Snow's death, which GoT fans hope is not as it looked to be in the final episode of Season 5, but also of the one mystery that troubled the Night Watch Lord Commander. Is he really a son of Ned Stark? 

In the previous seasons, it was established that Jon Snow was the baby that Eddard Stark had brought home to Catelyn following his involvement during the Robert Baratheon Rebellion the three centuries of Targaryen dynasty. Stark had declared that Jon was his, an illegitimate one.

But fans have a different movie playing on their minds and basing on the latest interview given by GoT star Isaac , who plays the prophet Bran Stark in the hit series, to Loaded more surprises and twists can be expected. In Season 6, "the show is about to tie up a lot of loose ends," the report said.

"You'll see things in season six that have never quite made sense before - and now it will all start to tie up. Stories all start to come together to make sense," Loaded reported Hempstead-Wright as saying.

One discovery that seems lined up for Bran is about Jon Snow as WinterIsComing.net suggested in a report that with his enhanced power, the young Bran will travel back in time and unearth who really fathered Snow.

The WinterIsComing report said that the Stark blood runs on Jon Snow's vein but nor because of Ned Stark. Snow is actually the son of Ned's sister Lyanna, who has yet to appear in the show but was established as King Robert's true love. As early as Episode 1 of the first season, Lyanna's tragic death apparently as a direct result of her abduction by Rhaegar Targaryen. Rhaegar was the crown prince to the last Targaryen king, Aerys, also known as the Mad King.

And the madness that plagued the Aerys rule had directly caused the untimely demise of Lyanna. However, the same blog report pointed to an alternative truth. That Lyanna, who was earlier betrothed to Robert, fell in love with Rhaegar and ran off with the latter and Jon Snow was the result.

But Lyanna died in childbirth and Ned took the baby Jon Snow under his protection by declaring the child as his bastard. Better that way as in the aftermath of Aerys' fall from the Iron Thrones, the Targaryens - young, old, women and children - were massacred.

This theory is likely among the things that will clear up in Season 6 of the Game of Thrones, per the Hempstead-Wright interview, that will start airing April 2016.
