The Fate of Daenerys and Jon: Ruler and Queen of Westeros

As the Game of Thrones series progresses, one question continues to loom over fans: If Daenerys Targaryen dies in the upcoming war or childbirth, will Jon Snow rule as Aegon and have Sansa as his queen? The answer is likely not.

Daenerys Targaryen's Fate

After Arya (Season 8, Episode 4),

it is clear that Daenerys Targaryen is being set up in the plot to potentially meet a tragic demise. In the House of Undying, Daenerys crosses the Wall, symbolizing the line between life and death, and encounters her dead husband and son.

The Wall serves as a powerful metaphor for inevitability, and it is evident that Dany will die. The theory suggests that her death will occur during childbirth, aligning with the Mirri Maz Duur prophecy. The prophecy, “When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east,” is interpreted as “When a son is born in the west and dies in the east, Daenerys will join her dead husband and son.”

The Prophetic Prophecy

The prophecy becomes clearer when we consider the possibility that the word “sun” could be a mistranslation or a phonetic change to “son.” This interpretation suggests that when a son is born in the west (Westeros) and dies in the east (Essos), Dany will die to join her dead husband and son.

Jon Snow’s Fate

After the war, Jon Snow will likely die one more time, as predicted, but Melisandre will bring him back to life. This resurrection will set the stage for Jon to claim the Iron Throne, but he will not rule the Seven Kingdoms alone.

The Role of Sansa Stark

Given Sansa’s past and her transformation, she is destined to become Jon’s queen. The show’s history of promising a prince to Sansa and the prophecy about a younger and more beautiful queen casting Cersei down are clear indicators. The prophecy refers to Sansa as the future queen, who will bring down the current ruler and take what she holds dear.

Furthermore, Sansa was raised as a brother to Jon, and their sibling bond is much healthier and more traditional compared to the union between Jon and Dany’s fictional familial relationship. The acceptable practice of incest among Targaryens in Westeros is another reason why Sansa is a more fitting choice for Jon.

The Future of Jon and Sansa

After the war, Jon Snow will ascend to the Iron Throne, but he will not rule alone. He needs a queen, and that queen will be Sansa Stark. Their union symbolizes the end of their journey, as the title “the prince that was promised” is not limited to only the defeat of the White Walkers during the Long Night. It also refers to their future together.

The show's redo of Catelyn and Ned Stark scenes with Jon and Sansa suggests their roles could evolve to mirror those of Catelyn and Ned for each other, emphasizing the deeper bond between them as rulers of Westeros.

In conclusion, while Daenerys Targaryen is destined to die in childbirth, Jon Snow will rule the Seven Kingdoms with Sansa Stark as his queen. This union reflects the best choice for the future of Westeros, balancing tradition, prophecy, and the complex dynamics of their relationships.
