Rhaegar's wife, Elia, and their two children were murdered. Even though Ned found his sister, he was unable to save her from childbirth complications, but history marks her as a casualty of war.

Rhaegar even had his marriage to Elia annulled in order to wed Lyanna. “Robert’s Rebellion was built on a lie,” Bran explained to Sam. “Rhaegar didn’t kidnap my aunt or rape her. He ...

If he is Rhaegar, Lyanna was damm happy to run away with him. If he is Rhaegar, that look Littlefinger gave Sansa when she repeated that whole “Rhaegar abducted and raped Lyanna” thing is spot on!

Rhaegar’s legacy lives on, though, through not only his sister Daenerys but also his secret Targaryen son, who recently joined forces… and might soon join something (s) else (wink).

To answer this question, Bran is going to need to go back in time and gaze upon the past once again. This means more scenes with Rhaegar in the final season. And wouldn't you know it, a few months ...

This is the proof that Rhaegar had a child with Lyanna, and that child was loved enough that she wanted to keep the baby safe. Would a child of rape be loved that much? Maybe.

Rhaegar was already a prince: This goes without saying, but Rhaegar Targaryen was born the prince in line for the Iron Throne. If it is literally a prince that was promised, he clearly fits the bill.

Rhaegar was already married to Elia Martell, but Targaryens have a history of taking multiple wives, so it is possible. If that's what happened, Jon's claim to the Iron Throne is technically ...

Finally, in the Battle of the Trident, Robert gets his revenge by killing Rhaegar with his war hammer. Tragically, Lyanna later dies, too, as she gives birth to Jon in the Tower of Joy.

Rhaegar and Lyanna ran off together to the Red Mountains in Dorne, where they hid in a castle called the Tower of Joy. There, the High Septon granted Rhaegar an annulment and wed him to Lyanna.

Like Rhaegar, Lyanna’s personality was at odds with her appearance. As far as Stark women go, she had Sansa Stark’s conventional beauty coupled with Arya’s difficult personality.

I'm ready for some Rhaegar because "a Targaryen all alone in the world is a terrible thing." At least if we know a little bit more about the Targaryens, it won't feel like Daenerys and Jon Snow ...
