If you're a casual Game Of Thrones fan or someone who has stayed away from the books, you'll likely remember when the season six finale aired that a huge amount of people were getting excited about something called "R+L = J". Put simply, this is the notion that Jon Snow is actually a Targaryen, born of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark following her abduction.

Anyway, the Tower of Joy scene in the season six finale appears to confirm this theory, but for the casual viewer it may not have been entirely clear what the implications were.

Fear not, however! It's rumoured that season seven will continue to use flashbacks to expand the context of the story, with one particular flashback focusing on Rhaegar and Lyanna's wedding. The flashback will make it clear to all viewers in no uncertain terms that Jon Snow is a Targaryen.

It'd make sense to drive this point further home given the fact he's set to soon meet Dany.
