Game Of Thrones: 10 Lesser Known Fan Theories That Might Actually Be True

10. Robin (Or Robert) Arryn Is Petyr Baelish’s Son

Sweetrobin, known as Robin on the show and Robert in the books (lord only knows why they changed his name in the show), who is known to be the son of Jon and Lysa Arryn might very well be Littlefinger’s son, if some Reddit users are to be believed.

In the books, we’re told that Lysa Arryn was impregnated by Baelish when they were teenagers (after Littlefinger fought Brandon Stark at Riverrun for Catelyn’s hand), and that Lysa was advised to abort the child before he/she was born. Of course that was years before, but we all know that Lysa always had a thing for Petyr Baelish, so could there be some truth to this theory?

The little Lord of the Eyrie is described as being a “a very sickly, non-physical child” and it’s quite well known that Jon Arryn was nothing like this – he was a strong, honourable man. Then consider this; Petyr Baelish described himself once as being a small, weak and sickly child that ended up becoming powerful. 

Perhaps it might play a huge part in future seasons of the show (and books) and the little Arryn child might find out he is Littlefinger’s little bastard.
