>>Men of the Nights Watch forfeit titles, nobility and inheritance. They vow to never marry or father children. I don’t think Jon Snow with win the Game of Thrones.<<

Couple things, re: that

1 - He wouldn’t necessarily have to. Dany is barren and incapable (for now) of having any kids. Plus, Rickon is still alive, and would be available as heir to their shared throne. Still leaves the problem of marriage and titles though.

2 - Jon is currently the 998th Lord Commander. Presumably someone will be elected the 999th in his absence after the “For the Wall” incident. However, if Jon is indeed ‘The Prince that Was Promised’ (R+L=J), he’ll survive, reborn, and either become the 1000th Lord Commander (surely that would grant him the ability to negate or alter the Night’s Watch vows),

or

3 - Negate the Night’s Watch entirely. If The Wall is brought down during the upcoming war with the Others and the Wights, (there’s a theory about the Wall merely being a prison tomb for the Ice Dragon - far fetched, but hey...a massive Ice Dragon taking on Dany’s Chillruns? Friggin epic!) once victory is obtained and the enemy defeated, there’s no longer a wall. No Wall = no Night’s Watch = No Vows.

4 - Jon and Dany rule, Rickon as their “son” and next in line, Bran as the King’s Hand (or branch) live via Weirwood satellite, and Hodor as Master of Whispers!

Thanks for the tip. That is the first I’ve heard of that theory. I see on the internet there is something about TellTale video games with reference the theory. Is that where you picked it up?

RE: “For the Wall” incident, if he dies, then his oath would be fulfilled and his watch would be ended. If he is “reborn”, then arguably the oath he took before would no longer apply.
