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

7. Robin Arryn Is Littlefinger's Son

Robin Arryn is one of the absolute worst characters in A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones. Although designed to be an irritant, his sickly, petulant, and often pathetic nature becomes unbearable, and not in keeping with the good man we've heard his father, Jon Arryn, was.

We know that Arryn was an older man by the time he conceived a child with Lysa Arryn, and that meant his seed was weak, while she too had complications owing to previous miscarriages, all of which could contribute to what we see and hear of Robin being a small, sickly child. But what if there's another reason?

After all, Jon was - in his youth - blonde-haired, blue-eyed, and broad-shouldered. Lysa, meanwhile, also had blue eyes, and the auburn hair that is typical of the Tullys. Robin, on the other hand, is small and dark-haired, with pale eyes. Petyr Baelish was also known to have been a small and slight child, and is still considered short now, as well as being dark haired with grey-ish eyes.

We know that, long before they were married, Petyr and Lysa had a sexual relationship: she lost her virginity to him, and later actually became pregnant to him, before her father forced her to abort the child by drinking Moon Tea, from which she nearly died.

After being married off to Jon, it took numerous attempts before she successfully gave birth to a child - Robin - after miscarriages and stillbirths. At this point, they were living in King's Landing, and sometime later she and Baelish started a secret affair, with the pair eventually conspiring to kill Jon. It's not entirely implausible, then, that the affair started earlier than previously outlined, and that Petyr is the true father of Robin, not Jon.
