Or gotten Robert Baratheon to do it.īut I don’t think he can do it on his own. Ned Stark could have declared him legitimate, I think. Ramsey got legitimacy from Joffrey, the king. I don’t think he can simply claim to be a Stark. Changing his name wouldn’t change the emotions behind it. Jon grew up with the idea that he wasn’t good enough to be a true Stark. It is not so much the bastard name that has troubled Jon, it is the exclusion from his family, or the idea of not being worthy enough to be a Stark. If some other Stark had offered to make him a legitimate Stark it would be different, it would mean that he is accepted as an equal within the family. Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you.Īnd I am not sure Jon would just take the name for himself. Perhaps it goes back to what Tyrion said Let me give you some advice bastard. That is true but I am not sure Jon would legitimize himself. If Euron can send for 1000 ships from Ikea, I’m sure we could buy that Jon is what he has always wanted to be – a Stark. Violator: Surely he has to be Jon Stark to be head of the ruling house of Stark? It makes no sense for him to remain illegitimate and as he is now recognised by the assembled nobles as the rightful King of the North, he can surely legitimise himself – at least within the lands north of the Neck?
