Deleted anti-spoiler rant. Cleaned up grammar.

| Jun 16, 2014 at 19:31 | comment | added | Royal Canadian Bandit | There are several examples from English history of "bastards" becoming rulers: Notably William the Conqueror (originally known as William the Bastard), Mary Tudor and Elizabeth I (both declared illegitimate by Henry VIII when he annulled his marriages to their respective mothers, but later restored to the succession). This is relevant insofar as Westeros is loosely based on medieval Europe. | |

By going to the wall he can create something for himself since bastards aren't allowed anything really. He wasn't even allowed to know his mothers name. He is rising in the ranks on the wall to. | |

| Aug 3, 2013 at 2:13 | comment | added | NominSim | This question appears to be off-topic because it is too localized, answers required to discount canon are not going to be helpful to future visitors. | |

| Aug 2, 2013 at 11:35 | comment | added | TLP | I can think of three good examples of bastards being legitimized, though only one of which is not directly involved in the ASOIAF story line. But you asked for no spoilers, so I will not post it. | |
