It looks like "Game of Thrones" Season 7 is set for more flashback scenes courtesy of Bran Stark's tendency to time travel at the most inopportune time. There is little doubt that one of the scenes Bran will revisit is how Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark met and eventually led to the birth of Jon Snow.
It is unknown how Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark first met and eventually caused mayhem throughout Westeros. However, "Game of Thrones" Season 7 could reveal that it all began with the mysterious Knight of the Laughing Tree.
'Game Of Thrones' Season 7 Theory: Rhaegar Targaryen Meets Lyanna Stark After Searching For The Knight Of The Laughing Tree?
There is a long-standing "A Song of Ice and Fire" theory that the mysterious knight that faced Howland Reed in a joust for King Aerys Targaryen was actually a woman in disguise. And not just any woman, either. Most fans believe that the Knight of The Laughing Tree could be revealed as Lyanna Stark in "Game of Thrones" Season 7.
It is possible that Bran Stark will try to find the truth about Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark in "Game of Thrones" Season 7. A flashback scene could reveal that Rhaegar actually found the Knight of The Laughing Tree and discover Lyanna. The real reason why Rhaegar lied to Aerys Targaryen about not finding the knight is because he actually fell in love with Lyanna after the discovery.
Did Lyanna Stark Persuade Rhaegar Targaryen To Elope In 'Game Of Thrones' Season 7?
GamenGuide has previously reported on speculations that it was Lyanna Stark who convinced Rhaegar Targaryen to run away with her after she became pregnant with Jon Snow. There is a possibility that the strong-willed wolf maiden took matters into her own hands and persuaded her beloved that they should escape to avoid Robert Baratheon's wrath. The truth might finally be revealed in "Game of Thrones" Season 7, which airs on HBO next summer.
