![]() Rhaegar ended up being killed by a shunned, jealous, and conniving Robert, who desired the throne for himself. Elia, along with her children, died at the hands of Gregor Clegane aka the Mountain - which is why Elia's brother, Oberyn, came to King's Landing seeking revenge in Season 4. Oberyn mentioned Elia's kids by name on the show, so we do know Aegon (VI) existed on television. For whatever reason, Rhaegar wanted Lyanna over Elia, and left Lyanna in Dorne to go sort out the debacle with his father, and those who were opposing his family. He and Elia had two kids prior to their annulment - Aegon (VI) and Rhaenys. The name 'Aegon' holds a lot more significance than first assumed - Rhaegar actually named his first son Aegon, as well. It's here that the books play a big role now as a lot of backstory has to be filled for the television audience. That doesn't mean that Daenerys can't be his queen, however, as the Targaryens were known in Martin's prose for marrying within their family to preserve the bloodline, and as fans have seen so far with the Lannisters, incest isn't that big a deal in these medieval times. No longer a bastard, and directly descending from the prince who was next in line for the throne, Jon aka Aegon is the seventh person to take this name in his bloodline, and now officially holds the most legitimate claim to Aerys' (II) throne. Bran obliges, and he ends up discovering that this is true, and even sees the wedding of his aunt to Rhaegar, confirming that not only is Jon his cousin, but according to Lyanna's words to Ned, Jon's true name is actually Aegon Targaryen! These revelations are ironically juxtaposed to Jon consummating his relationship with Daenerys - his biological aunt. Recognizing Rhaegar's name, he recalls Gilly's findings in the Citadel that the prince's marriage to Elia was annulled and he urges Bran to use his powers to confirm this. ![]() However, Sam has a bombshell of his own, which Gilly spotted in episode five this season. Things get even more interesting from there because Bran adds that as Jon was born in the Tower of Joy in Dorne, and his father Rhaegar was married at the time to Elia Martell, Jon's real name should be Jon Sand (as Sand is the designated last-name to a bastard born in Dorne). As we saw last season, Ned lied about Jon being his bastard son to protect who we now know to be his nephew. The revelation of Jon's parentage stuns Sam, and Bran insists Sam find Jon to tell him the truth about not being Ned's bastard. However, Bran divulges that Rhaegar didn't kidnap Lyanna - they were actually in love, and Jon was the product of their romance. The Targaryen family was now crumbling and Aerys' (II) queen, Rhaella, fled to later give birth to Viserys and Daenerys. Linda is often quoted as saying ‘CF is not the same disease as it was in the 1950’s.’ Be assured that the changes we have witnessed are a result of your continued and ever present commitment.This led to Jaime Lannister, Hand of the King, killing Aerys (II), allowing Robert to usurp the throne. “For three generations, the DeRensis family has played a vital role in changing the course of CF research.
