We cast our eye over some of the theories surrounding the George R.R.
Martin books being adapted for HBOs Game Of Thrones.
Warning: contains many, manyA Song Of Ice And Firespoilers all the way up toA Dance With Dragons.
A Song Of Ice And Firereaders are a curious people.
Wise to the ways of our master, George R.R.
Martin, weve grown suspicious over the years.
A character gets an axe to the head?
Theyll turn up a chapter later.
A prophecy foretells certain doom?
Its all in the interpretation.
A young lad is called bastard and denied Lordly rights?
Hes probably the heir to the Seven Kingdoms.
Weve gathered some of the juiciest fan theories fromA Song Of Ice And Fireto chew over below.
Its by no means an exhaustive list, but it covers the major bases.
Who are the three heads of the dragon?
And who will ultimately win the Iron Throne?

(For the uninitiated, this stands for Rhaegar + Lyanna = Jon, i.e.
We know that Lyanna was sent to the Tower of Joy with half the Kingsguard protecting/guarding her.
Do we believe it?Yes.
This is so strongly and so widely believed many fans take it almost as established fact.
More evidence arrives when Stranger, Cleganes unruly black stallion, is discovered in the Brothers stables.
There are too many nods here for it not to be true.
It also explains the TV series encounter between Brienne and Sandor in the season four finale, wed venture.
This idea springs from two basic questions.
Why did Tywin Lannister hate Tyrion so much, and who will be the three heads of the dragon?
Do we believe it?Were not convinced by this one.
For one thing, its unnecessary to the story.
You killed her children.).
Is he a true heir to the Iron Throne, or simply a pretender?
Martin has plundered so effectively for this series.)
Whether Young Griff will survive long enough to play his part is another matter… Theres some speculation that though small, Sams war horn is in fact, the real Horn of Winter.
Do we believe it:Why not?
If the Horn of Winter exists, Sam the Slayer is its most likely owner in our estimation.
How hell use it though, and what its exact powers are, remain to be seen…
Prove it!Well, first off, we havent seen the body.
Jon lost consciousness, just like Theon, Arya and Davos Seaworth before him.
None of those were really dead, just injured.
If nothing else, Jon will rise as a Wight if not burned.
Jon hasnt got that far yet.
The possibilities open to wargs have also been clearly established so he will almost certainly continue in some form.
As for how Jon will survive, there are various possibilities.
Everyone else is filler (even Tyrion, who is highly popular and beloved filler).
Prove it!We really cant.
Theres nothing substantial in the text to back up the theory.
Hes told its made from weirdwood seeds and will help him to become a better greenseer.
Some believe that Jojen Reed was sacrificed and his blood was used as an ingredient in the paste.
After hes eaten it, he can taste blood in his mouth.
Or its possible that weve just watched too many vampire shows.
Prove it!Nobody can.
That, however, hasnt stopped readers speculating.
Do we believe it?No.
Its hardly watertight as cases go.
Where do whores go?
To brothels is one answer.
Do we believe it?Its a stretch.
If he should ever come back to her, it will be a corpse.
Youd think that Tyrion might want to help Daenerys.
Trust none of them… Beware the perfumed seneschal.
Do we believe it?Prophecies in works of fiction have an almost 100% accuracy rate.
So were expecting Tyrion to damage Daenerys in some way, deliberately or not.
Do we believe it?We dont.
Who is the Valonquar?
Who are the heads of the dragon?
Will the Seven Kingdoms be united at the end of the series?
Who will win the game of thrones?
