We know there’s going to be some shocks in the final season of Game Of Thrones, and this unlikely coupling could be one of them.
A new fan theory suggests that Jon Snow might have to tie the knot with Cersei Lannister, but it won’t be because they’ve suddenly fallen madly in love (although we’re ruling nothing out).
Jon and Cersei are set to meet in the final season, which could be the moment they decide to form an alliance to save the seven kingdoms, goes the theory presented by IBT.
At their last meeting Jon refused to bend the knee to Cersei, and she has been abandoned by her brother/lover Jaime.
As she appears to lose her grip on reality she will be in need of someone to stand beside her in King’s Landing, especially now she is pregnant.
Given that the Lannisters were behind the deaths of most of his family, Jon isn’t going to willingly marry Cersei unless it was somehow beneficial.
If they were to marry, both King’s Landing and Winterfell armies could unite to to step the oncoming attack from the White Walkers.
Jon and Cersei won’t be the only ones upset about the marriage, as last season saw Jon and Daenerys Targaryen become lovers.
But the truth of Jon’s birth means that he is related to Cersei, and ahead of her in the line of succession to the Iron Throne.
Star Emilia Clarke previously said that her character’s feelings for Jon will make the revelation all the more devastating.
She said: ‘Daenerys’ life long dream has been to avenge her family and claim her rightful seat on the Iron Throne.
‘She truly loves Jon. Were she to find out about his title, it would cut deep.’
