Jon Snow is “Jon Snow” no more. After last season of “Game of Thrones” confirmed the character was actually born to Lyanna Stark, Sunday’s episode, titled “The Dragon and the Wolf,” finally made Jon’s (Kit Harington) true given name known to viewers. He Who Knows Nothing is really named Aegon Targaryen, reflecting his actual ancestry. While last season confirmed Lyanna as Jon’s mother, his father’s identity is now confirmed to be Rhaegar Targaryen, brother to Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) and heir to the Mad King’s throne ― before the Targaryen dynasty was toppled. This means Rhaegar may have named two of his sons Aegon, which is weird, but whatever!
