Yes, this is true. Would Ned take the boy to be raised at Winterfell? Would Ned take the boy to be raised at Winterfell? Treat it like she does Jon? Why else not to take such a trophy home? I find that quite endearing. It would def lead to lots moar forum posts about it, that's fer sure is an issue to be decided by the court of Public Opinion, i.e. We can't really make definitive statements about them I don't think. So I was wondering what would happen if Brandon Stark had a known bastard.
It depends. So I was wondering what would happen if Brandon Stark had a known bastard. Anybody can answer How can Ned and Brandon both be of same age?You can see the calculation of Ned Stark's birth at Eddard Stark was born one year after the birth of his brother, Brandon, who was born in 262 AC.Brandon died in 282 AC, aged twenty.
But it is generally accepted that trueborns have precedence, hence Roose taking it for granted that Ramsay would murder any sons Fat Walda might bear: I have become oddly fond of my fat little wife. And what would Catelyn think of it? Both her husband and her betrothed siring bastards, would she refuse to take care of it? He could be wrong.
The question frightened him. Notice the timing?
I disagree with Rufus here - Brandon's bastard, if legitimised, would come BEFORE Ned's children. "And won't my bastard love that? Rodrik's father, Lord Eddard Stark, has mentioned multiple times that Rodrik's loyalty, temperament, and charismatic personality is almost identical to that of Ned's older brother, Brandon Stark. "Brandon Stark, Ned Stark's older brother and heir to Winterfell, has been betrothed to Catelyn Tully in an effort to unify the houses Stark and Tully. In A Game of Thrones it is mentioned that Brandon Stark, Ned's older brother was 20 when he died. Detailed answers to any questions you might have Aerys was still king at that time. It's not so much that the law is vague, it is more down to enforcement of it being open for debate - often at sword point. Lady Walda is a Frey, and she has a fertile feel to her.
Trueborns still come before legitimized bastards, so Brandon's legit bastard would come between Ned's trueborns and Ned's legit bastard. We don't know how vague the law is, but it seems to be based solely on precedents and traditions, rather than clearly established and unequivocal laws.
The murder of the Hand of the King brings Ned Stark to King's Landing as Robert's new right-hand man. Ned put his foot down over Jon staying with him, but would he do the same for Brandon's, or would he have him fostered out and covered up to spare Cat's feelings? I also don't believe Ramsay's example is that relevant. To hide the shame and to make the Dayne's keep quiet Ned bribed them with Dawn. I don't want to make a whole big thing about this, but I really wish people didn't constantly throw around theories about how X raped Y without evidence.
Treat it like she does Jon?
My brothers died, and I never killed them. And what would Catelyn think of it? Stack Exchange network consists of 177 Q&A communities including Brothers die sometimes, it does not mean that they were killed. There were several wars about this very issue. The only reason Jon is there is (if you subscribe to R+L=J) to keep Jon's true parentage a secret and to protect him from Robert.
