Wylla not necessarily Jon Snow's mother

Ned does not say that Wylla is the mother of Jon Snow. We are led to assume that because;

  • Ned claims Jon Snow as his bastard son, bringing him back from Robert Rebellion wars,
  • Robert talks about all the women they had during campaigning, implying that Ned had only (?) one woman he slept with (as opposed to Roberts numerous), and Ned provides the name of the women: Wylla.
You're right. I edited the text slightly. - Regards, KarinS 20:08, August 17, 2011 (UTC)
Robert specifically asked him what the name of the mother of his bastard was, and Eddard says (rather reluctantly) "Wylla." That seems pretty clear-cut to me that this is, at least, the story Eddard is propagating.--Werthead 12:15, August 18, 2011 (UTC)
The way I remember it is this: Robert asks Ned about the mother of Jon, suggests that it was this one women and then wonders about her name. It's the second question ('What's her name again?') that Ned answers, not the first ('Who is Jon's mother?'). I'll check the episode and transcribe that fragment later today. - Regards, KarinS 08:43, August 24, 2011 (UTC)
