The Dragon Has Three Heads

Returning to the three heads of the dragon theory, I think that Bran is a good candidate as the crow promised him he would fly. Also he could be a knight on a dragon because it wouldn't matter that he was a cripple.

However all the other dragonriders have been Targaryens, so maybe only those with 'dragon' blood can be riders. This rules out Bran and probably Tyrion but means that Jon and Roberts bastards are all still in the running.

Hmm. I did think about Edric Storm being a good candidate especially as I think he roughly gone in that direction (I seem to recall Davos telling the knights to leave Westeros with him) so he could well end up with Dany.

Quite how she'll react to a "Usurper's *******" on her doorstep, I'm not sure - although I'm hoping Barristan will train her in ruling. After all he's been through 3 kings! (4 if you count Joffrey - which I don't)

Guess that makes Jaehaerys (sp?), Aerys & Robert as the Good, the Mad & the Bad? :D (que the music)
 
Is it written anywhere that the 'dragon has three heads' equals three dragon riders? We all took the Prince that was Promised literally, and it turned out to be the Princess that was Promised (or so it would currently seem), so maybe George has thrown a swiftie and is leading us down the wrong track... Maybe it's a metaphor, maybe it doesn't literally mean that there will be two other people to ride Dany's dragons. Maybe the dragons themselves are the three heads.

Just thinking out loud.

Maester Aemon seemed quite disturbed that he was going to die before Dany took the throne and fulfilled the prophecy. To quote the book:

Once he woke up weeping. "The dragon must have three heads," he wailed, "but I am too old and frail to be one of them. I should be with her, showing her the way, but my body has betrayed me." (p. 523 in the American version)

I'm pretty sure that means that the dragon must be represented by three people.

Didn't the Starks have some Targaryen blood, way back in the day? Or am I confused?
 
I can not recall if they had a drop of the dragon blood or not. Also we do not know anything about Jon's mother do we? I know people have thrown ideas out that his mother was either Targaryen.
 
Well, ChasenFate, we could say that Jon was the legitimate son of Rhaegar and Elia, but that out of her love for Rhaegar and losing a child (and her own life) in birth, Lyanna begged Ned to save Rhaegar's only child... Aegon VII... aka Jon Snow, but I think it unlikely.

Well the prevailing theory is that Jon's father was Rhaegar, his mother Lyanna, so in that scenario he would definitely have Targaryen blood. Though I'm still in the Ned and Wylla (or unknown) camp.

I'm certain the Starks of themselves have no Targaryen blood - they are the blood of the First Men, before the dragonlords came to Westeros, and I'm fairly certain that they never married into the Targaryens.

The Baratheons have Targaryen blood - that is why of Ned, Jon Arryn and Robert, Robert was pushed forward as the most legitimate usurper. Which means that Gendry, Mya Stone, and Edric Storm all share the blood of the dragon.

Then there's Brown Ben Plumm, and one would assume his distant cousins in Westeros, but I don't see any of them becoming one of the heads.

Of what family is the ******* of Driftmark? I recall he resembled Rhaegar... The Velarons, was it? They have Valyrian blood, but is it Targaryen?
 
No 3. has to be Tyrion

A) from AGOT....Tyrion reading a book on Dragons "when I was your age, I used to dream of having a dragon of my own.........Even a twisted, ugly little boy can look down on the world when he's seated on dragon's back....."

b) He visits the bowels of Kings landing to view the Dragon Skulls and started fires in bowels of Casterly rock pretending they were dragonfire burning his father and cersei

c) He's obviously GRRM's favourite character....best story, best lines!!!!
 
Gotcha. I don't think they do. We're always reminded that they have blood of the First Men. So if they had Targaryen blood, I think George would let us in on it ... or at least there'd be some pretty big hints.

But it seems Jon Snow is the best of both worlds, no? Blood of First Men AND Targaryen (maybe). Do the Reeds know the secret of Jon's parentage?
 
Im wondering if Catelyn (aka Stoneheart) knows Jons father. He seems to hate Jon too much. Jon would be pretty hard to take for Catelyn if Jon was Rhaegars son, cause Rhaegar killed Brandon... Do Tullys have any other reasons to hate Targaryens?

Personally i would think that the third head of the Dragon hasnt been revealed yet. Maybe some ******* of Rhaegar or some other Targaryen.
 
We got to read about ten Cat POVs in AGOT. If she knew who Jon's real parents were, we'd also know.
 
True, but in her chapters Catelyn seems fairly convinced that Jon is Ned's son. That's why she hates him so much. If she knew he wasn't Ned's, I feel she would be better disposed towards him.
 
mystery targaryen boy

In - I believe it was the second book. When Arya is riding with Lord Beric's people. She meets a young boy with silver hair and purple eyes who was Jon Snow's milk brother. He's so the third head of the dragon. He's Jon's twin by Rhaegar and Lyanna. And Ashara Dayne throwing herself off the cliff. Oh, she was the Sword of the Morning's sister and loved him so much. . . . so after good old Ned does him in and rescues Lyanna's children. . . . well, what if the Sword of the Morning confided in her? One of those babies had blonde hair, so they couldn't both be Ned's boys. . . . and Wylla was Ashara's serving woman. Jon Snow's "mother." What if she discovered or knew of the little deception and threatened to reveal the secret? Ned remarks on the things we do for love. Well, he might have pushed the poor Ashara to her death to keep his promise to Lyanna.
 
I do belief that there is more to Jon that meets the eye. After all, Ned Stark was an honorable man, unlikely to sleep with a servant and father a *******.
 
The dragon must have three heads doesn't have to mean they are Targaryens. Aegon had sister/wives helping him and we all focus on the sister part but why can't Dany just have husbands. Two prospective husbands are on the way right now. One would give her Dorne and one the Ironmen. Its unlikely but possible she will accept them. Also, even if you think Jon Snow is part dragon, he will not break his oath. Ned Stark raised him and Jon will always think of him as father even if he learns the truth. He isn't just a night's watchman anymore but Lord Commander. He had his moment of truth when he refound Snow. He didn't leave the wall when all of those he thought of as family were killed so why do it for some relative he doesn't know. Even if the wall falls his oath still binds him.

Agreed. I don't think that Jon Snow will break his oath, either. And I'm not keen on the idea that Tyrion OR the Dayne boy are Targaryens. It would be way too much of the same them.

Jon Snow could end up being one head of the Dragon, but I don't think that means that he'll have to break his vows or his allegiance to the Night's Watch. The Dragon having three heads could simply mean three leaders working together to defeat a single enemy- the Others.
