    If Arya is an Aemond Targaryen descendent, she’s the third head of the dragon with Jon (Aegon) and Daenerys. Also, this mirrors Aegon the conqueror and his sister wives with one sister loving to fight and the other preferring to fly on a dragon.

  • @hubertdenise3100
    @hubertdenise3100 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +98

    I like the idea Aemond’s son had a child with a whent, since we know Alys did have a child, and that the castle was under her rule until 151AC, quite enough time for her son to be old enough to have children, and the whent child later became Minisa Whent’s ancestor, who was Catelyn’s mother, and thus all Ned Stark’s children are part targaryen, and thus not only did the green bloodline not die out, but ironically they became the ruling lord paramounts of the north and Edmure himself is heir to riverlands, and even more ironic, becoming the house that toppled the last of the black targaryen branch from rule, achieving a final green victory.
    This would be so incredible, because no one would be truly aware, it would be a secret that would only be brought up in fire and blood 2 if George ever writes it, and thus make the stark kids and Catelyn’s actions and personalities and dreams in hindsight very interesting, for instance Catelyn’s temper and dislike of bastards a inherited trait from Aemond, Arya admiring visenya so much, Sansa being so lady like just like Alicent, Bran being a dreamer like Daenys and Heleana, Robb being very gifted in battle but letting emotions overcloud wisdom, Rickon’s temper being the dragonsblood awakening.
    Plus make it so funny, Robert was literally gonna have someone of Targaryen blood marry his son and the heir after his son a part targaryen, and not just that of the bloodline that was his grandmothers families enemy.

    The theory about House Whent being descended from Aemond Targaryen brings the prophecy full circle. "From my blood come the prince OR princess who was promised." (Thanks, Missandei.) Rob becoming King of the North would make his sisters princesses. As would Jon becoming King of the North. Whether or not it holds after Rob's death and Jon bending the knee as they're descended from a royal bastard I don't know. Sansa becoming Queen of the North and Bran becoming King of the Six Kingdoms would for sure make Arya a princess twice over, even if she doesn't want it. My long winded point is, Arya, a descendant of both House Stark and Targaryen theory, ended the Night King as technically Princess Arya.
    If you want to stick with "The Prince who was promised." Arya has been mistaken for a boy based on how she acts and dresses. She travelled disguised as a boy for a time. That could be the image of her seen in a dragon dream that resulted in the prophecy inscribed on the dagger. I also suspect that Ice, the Valyrian steel greatsword also hides the same prophecy. As do all the Valyrian steel house heirlooms.

  • @theofairy4077
    @theofairy4077 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +34

    The Aemond bloodline in House Whent would actually justify what they did in Season 8 and have Arya kill the night king. It would be so ironic becaulse the greens don't know about the prophecy cos Viserys only told Rhaenyra and she's told Daemon and frankly the valyrian didn't say prince or princess, the Targaryen just thought it should be someone from their legal male primogeniture i.e Jon. And frankly Arya whose idols is Visenya is a great assassin and swordswoman and i'm thinking she's one of the ppl who deserve to have ridden a dragon. Catelyn herself bears a striking physical resemblance to Aemond in only her facial traits.

    If it's correct that the stark children carry Targaryen blood through Aemond and House Whent, wouldn't that make all the Stark children contenders for the title of The Prince That Was Promised. Given that she has (in theory) both the blood of old Valyria and the first men, Arya may be the second strongest match, also given the fact she killed the night king.

      It hurts my brain when people say stuff like this and it’s because at one point these hbo programs did not exist and it was basically considered canon that at the end of book 1 we see the prophecy happen right infront of us BEFORE ANYONE EVER MENTIONED IT. We see her born again in salt and smoke, bring magic back to the world, all under a red comet. Blah blah blah. Then in book 2 and onward people bring up this prophecy. Chronological events and details laid out in the book suggests that it’s not some uber complicated secret concept. It’s right in front of you. It wasn’t until these shitty adaptations that it was called into great question and the general consensus was it was very obvious who the book was referring to. It’s frustrating to watch the discourse become less and less attached to what the source material actually says. It’s the result of dingbat not finishing the god damn story though 🤷‍♀️

    The theory, creative as it might be, has no support beyond the supporters themselves wanting it to be true. House Whent is likely to House Lothston what House Cassel is to House Stark: sworn allies and perhaps even related, hence the sigils. As of the Starks potentially having Targaryen blood... Aemond wouldn't be needed for that, any descendant of Baela, Rhaena, Elaena, etc. could have found their way to the family tree through thhe Blackwoods

    Well, GRRM has a serious problem with his 'magic bloodlines': Daenerys is more Bracken&Blackwood than Targaryen-Dragon-Riders, so is Jon. - UNLESS Aegon and Aemond AND Daemon fathered LOADS of children to boost the Riverland-&Vale Houses. Daenerys and Jon's Dragonblood runs extremely thin, Daenerys only 1/8th, and Jon 1/16th Targaryen. And for a show-teased king Bran to warg a Dragon in the end it would need some groundworks.
    GRRM's in the last decade after he complained about it, was buisy laying groundworks for plausibility, after he had claimed, that he wanted to keep it real, and he could not logically defeat biological facts (he talked about Wyverns and genetics) , so he altered some things, and bullt backstories.
    - The First men-house of the Riverland-Masseys (this first-men woman as a foremother to the Velaryons and Targaryens was specifically entered in the story) were married to Velaryon-Targaryen halfbloods with children of unspecified fate, who most likely married into the Riverlands. He stated that the Starks, Strongs and Masseys (and Karstarks) are cadet lines of the same weirwood-blooded First-Men- House.
    - He added hints that Jaehaerys wasn't faithful to Alysanne (probably out of spite nor was she in the time they spent apart with her in the north). Additionally their youngest daughter supposedly died in childbirth along with her child. But what if that was only a cover-story for the girl/her daughter to disappear from the royal wedding-scemes, that had already caused so much harm in the family, Alysanne having had too less influence/interest to stop it.
    - Aegon II has fathered a child on a LADY from the Riverlands - so it's a 'Great Bastard' that can be married off to another house (Probably Bracken or Blackwood, they do cousin-mariages, it would keep the blood thick.
    - Aemond fathered a son on Alys (that probably grew to adulthood - there is also this black-magic Lothstone/Whent thing going on) And there might have been a Bracken or Blackwood-child that could have thickenened both, the Targaryen and Stark Bloodline
    - Daemon probably fathered a child on Nettles, who went to the Vale to live with the Burned Men, probably children of whom one could be the first-men Royce that wed into the Starks
    - And for thickening Jon's blood it needs Jacerys fathering a child on Sara Snow, the Starks marrying cousins, too.

      It's not that thin. Because Visery's II wife, Larra Rogare, was a reknown descendant of High Valyrians from Lys (probably even from a lost dragonlord family). Then you have the Martell which has blood from Daenerys (the sister of Daeron) remarrying into the bloodline. Then the Daynes which are rumored to posess some Valyrian in them (They do have the purple valyrian eyes and some even the white hair). Then we have Blackwood heritage marrying into the family through the wife of Aegon V but the Blackwoods have some "magical abilities" and are related to the Plumms which have Valyrian ancestry. Finally you have Daenerys' granparents and parents who married among siblings so the proper blood is not 1/8th. Regardless of it, it got boosted with Daenerys after the fire ritual.
