Jon Snow has been very lucky throughout his time in Game of Thrones. If he was one of the survivors of season 8, the King of the North was in danger of death on numerous occasions!
If his sweetheart Daenerys was almost killed many times before the finale of season 8 of Game of Thrones , Jon Snow also came close to death with his fingertips throughout his adventure. Though betrayed by his closest followers, the King of the North never gave up and always fought for what was important to him. He didn’t always make the best choices, which is why he could have been assassinated along the way. Luckily, he was always saved by his allies at the most critical moment! Back on the three main moments in which Jon Snow almost died in Game of Thrones.
Battle of the Bastards

The Battle of the Bastards is one of the deadliest in the series: it pitted the Stark forces made up of savages and various northern houses against the outnumbered coalition forces of Bolton, Kastark and Char, led by Ramsay Bolton. While Jon Snow knew his chances of winning were decidedly slim, he threw himself into the crowd with the conviction that he could save Rickon from Ramsay. If he almost went there, Sansa came to save him, so his survival is ensured thanks to her and the involvement of her Knights of the Vale.

If Jon Snow was a leader worthy of the name, he had one flaw: not knowing how to communicate with his allies. When he confessed to the murder of Mance Raydar, the savages wanted to take revenge and kill the King of the North. Luckily, he was once again saved by one of his own, Tormund, who recontextualized Mance’s death. The latter agrees to vouch for Jon Snow and succeeds in making him popular again. Without his intervention, he undoubtedly would have been killed even before the devastating attack on the Night King.

Ultimate battle, Jon Snow was in serious danger of death during the fight against the Undead of the Night King. After falling from the dragon, he engaged in one final clash against the Sword Villain. Once again, he touched death with the tips of his fingers, saved in extremis by Daenerys and Drogon . If she preferred to save her soulmate’s life to the detriment of his own, it was ultimately he who killed her with a dagger in the heart during a hug in the series finale. Without further ado, find out what Game of Thrones fans wanted to see, in vain, in season 8 of the show.
