7. Ned Stark, The Fraud

Bran and the Three-Eyed Raven watch a vision of a young (but fully grown) Ned Stark, along with Lord Howland Reed and other soldiers, as a fight breaks out against Ser Arthur Dayne and his men.

Dayne, a legendarily strong swordsman, kills several of Stark's soldiers and demonstrates his incredible fighting prowess, much to the confusion of Bran, who had always been taught a revisionist history by his father, claiming that Ned won the fight decisively.

Instead, Ned wins when a wounded Howland stabs Dayne in the back, and Ned then follows up with the killing blow, to Bran's upset.

Also of note is that, moments later, a woman's scream can be heard from the tower, which many believe to be that of Lyanna Stark. More fuel to the theory that Rhaegar + Lyanna = Jon Snow? Hopefully upcoming flashbacks will drop the bombshell once and for all.
