## **History:**

### **Early Life:**

Jon was born in the aftermath of Roberts Rebellion, his father, Rhaegar Targaryen had sent his mother Lyanna Stark, to the Tower of Joy, under the protection of three members of the Kingsguard, Ser Arthur Dayne, Ser Oswell Whent and the Lord Commander, Ser Gerold Hightower. She stayed there until he was born, then Lyanna and Jon arrived to King's Landing, which resulted in Rhaegar's coronation as king.

Once Jon got to an age to start training with a sword he was thankful that Aegon was the Crown Prince and he wasn't. Jon still had tutor's to learn from and was still expected to learn how to rule, but only about half of his day was spent learning and training with Aegon, while Aegon still had to spend more time to learn, Jon had more time for himself.

He spent the rest of his free time either training with either Ser Arthur Dayne, Ser Barristan Selmy, Ser Oswell Whent and Ser Jaime Lannister, the Kingsguard were all in agreement that Jon was a natural with a sword, that should he stick with his training he would be a feared swordsmen when he was older. The rest of his free time he spent with his sister Rhaenys, his aunt Daenerys and his cousin, Elaena Dayne, who is around the same age as him, he is extremely close with the two, spending a lot of time with them. Aegon also tried to spend as much time as possible with them, as they did with him, but the pressure Aegon had, as being the Crown Prince, even at such a young age, didn't leave him with a lot of free time.

Jon has also spent five years as a ward in Winterfell with his uncle, Lord Eddard Stark. From a request from his mother Lyanna Stark, King Rhaegar I Targaryen agreed that Jon should see his mother's lands, how different The North is compared to King's Landing and the rest of The Crownlands. Ser Oswell Whent accompanied the prince to Winterfell for his time in The North as his member of the Kingsguard.

During his time in Winterfell, Jon became close to his family from The North. The Starks accepted him into their home and their family, Lord Eddard Stark and Lady Catelyn Stark didn't treat him much different than they treated his own children, he grew close to his cousins as well, especially Arya Stark and Robb Stark. It took Jon a long time to gain the respect of the Northern Lords, after what his Grandfather King Aerys II Targaryen did to his other Grandfather Lord Rickard Stark and Uncle Brandon Stark, they don't really trust Targaryens to much at the moment, but he was able to gain their respect.

While he was in The North he visited The Night's Watch, to visit his Great Uncle, Maester Aemon Targaryen, during his time on The Wall he enjoyed his time with Aemon, but he grew nervous of the reports of The Free Folk beyond The Wall and the talk of the King uniting The Free Folk. After he finished on The Wall he went back to King's Landing, after not seeing his family in five years, only speaking to them in letters his father deciding that his time in The North is over.
