#rhaegar and lyanna are obviously combinations of uther + ygrain or lancelot + elaine or lancelot + guinevere

It tracks because Galahad was born from a (rather sketchy) union between Sir Lancelot and Elaine of Corbenic. There’s some weird stuff in their story but at some point, Elaine and Lancelot ride off to the Isle of Joy. Remind you of something? 🤔

Also have to mention that in Arthurian myth, Lancelot’s castle was called Joyous Gard, which he named himself; previously, it was known as Dolorous Gard which I think is rather funny. But Lancelot and Queen Guinevere spent some time in this castle after Lancelot rescued the queen from a murder plot sanctioned by King Arthur. This seems quite similar to the theory that Rhaegar and Lyanna originally got together and went to the Tower of Joy in order to escape Aerys trying to kill the KotLT, who was most likely Lyanna.

Sorry to high jack your great post lol

According one interpretation of the Arthurian lore, the Fisher King, aka a King with a never healing wound, is the one who engineers the birth of his grandson, Galahad, who one day will grow up to be the most virtuous and achieve the Holy grail and heal his ancestor. And by healing the Fisher King he also heals his barren land.

I'm not saying that this happened in asoiaf but it makes an interesting theory that Bloodraven interfered to help R + L = J because he knew that Jon was the chosen one to heal Bloodraven's "barren land" ( aka Westeros under the threat of the Others).
