Meanwhile, Jon is almost an adult and everyone thinks he’s Ned’s son. Arya is missing, and Sansa is still in the clutches of the Lannisters. At that point in Storm, Robb thinks Bran and Rickon are dead at Theon’s hand. More important, Robb thought Jon was basically the only option. Robb Stark had always liked and respected Jon. The series’ semi-canon companion book, A World of Ice and Fire, explicitly confirms it, although we probably won’t know with absolute certainty until the Winds of Winter release date. That’s why, shortly before going to the Twins, Robb wrote a letter naming an heir to his position as King in the North.Ī Storm of Swords strongly suggests that Jon Snow was the man Robb named as Heir to Winterfell, and that Robb’s letter also legitimized him as Jon Stark, trueborn son of Ned Stark. He arranged for his uncle Edmure Tully to marry a Frey instead, but he understood it was a tense situation. After all, Robb promised to marry a daughter of Walder Frey and then broke that oath in a very public way. Robb Stark knew that his wedding to Jeyne Westerling ( Talisa in the show) might cause trouble.
