GAME OF THRONES just blew up a huge bombshell about Jon Snow’s heritage which changed everything you knew about the Bastard of Winterfell.
HBO teases Game of Thrones Eastwatch
* Warning this articles contains spoilers from Game of Thrones season seven episode five *
During the latest instalment, titled Eastwatch, Gilly (played by Hannah Murray) read the diary of High Septon Maynard, and asked Samwell: “What does annulment mean?”
Impatient, Sam (John Bradley-West) explained that annulment meant the termination of a marriage so you can marry someone else.
However, what’s caused a meltdown among Game of Thrones fans is that Gilly went on to reveal the aforementioned separation was for a “Prince Raggar”, who tied the knot with someone else in a secret ceremony in Dorne.
What does annulment mean
In turn, it appears that Daenerys Targaryen’s (Emilia Clarke) brother Rhaeger annulled his marriage to his first wife to marry Jon Snow’s (Kit Harington) mother - meaning the Bastard of Winterfell isn’t actually a bastard at all.
As the legitimate grandson to the Mad King, Jon would also boast a better claim to the Iron Throne than Daenerys, which throws everything fans thought coming out of the window.
Also in tonight’s nail-biting episode, Sansa (Sophie Turner) and Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) were pitted against each other, thanks to Littlefinger (Aidan Gillen).
Just moments after finally being reunited, cracks between the sisters only got deeper after Arya found a chilling letter signed off by Sansa.
What’s more, Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) announced her pregnancy, which may spell the beginning of her downfall.
Game of Thrones continues on HBO next Monday at 9pm in the US and will be simulcast at 2am on Sky Atlantic in the UK. Catch up with seasons one to six on NOW TV.
