What to Remember Before Watching the ‘Game of Thrones’ Season 7 Premiere
When Jon, Sansa and Ramsay finally meet in the nicely titled Battle of the Bastards, the clash begins with the death of Rickon and goes poorly for Jon’s army from there,
but swings in the Starks’ favor after the Knights of the Vale arrive, courtesy of Littlefinger.
Jon also has a surprise waiting for him: A vision of Bran’s reveals
that Jon is not the son of Ned Stark, but of Ned’s sister Lyanna and Rhaegar Targaryen, Dany’s long-dead older brother, which could confer extraordinary powers, as well as a strong claim on the throne.
After Jon kills the men who killed him, he gets a resurrection gift in the form of a reunion
with his sister, Sansa, who successfully escaped Ramsay Bolton with help from Brienne.
