Poll of the Day > HBO A Game of Thrones, so there's two ....... *S7E7 SPOILERS*

(+) Yeah! (+)

....Aegons now? As far as I know, the HBO series mentioned Rhaegar having two children who died during the sacking of Kings Landing. Were their names actually mentioned? I am just a little stump that one of them was Aegon and yet now Jon's official name is Aegon.

Bookwise, Aegon was swapped with a commoner's baby for some wine, and was raised elsewhere under the alias Young Griff. I know the HBO series never incorporated this plot line but now Jon's real name is apparently Aegon.

Did Lyanna simply named her child after Rhaegar's son so technically there is/was two Aegon or was Rhaegar's son's name never mentioned in the HBO series?


Comments are appreciated,

Thank you

Supposedly Rhaegar named all of his sons Aegon so the Prince that was Promised would be Aegon Targaryen. I don't think it's been substantiated from official sources though.

Can confirm. Still waiting on the books.

Hah. I guess that is reference to how both Rhaegar and Viserys practically looked alike?

If someone told me it was the same actor, I'd believe them. They looked exactly alike.

Hell, it might've been the same person. I don't actually care enough to check.

Hah. I coulda imagine HBO filming both characters early on to use the same actor while he was still under contract.

But in reality both characters were played by different actors.
