![]() Those people had simple minds, and limited life experience, so they had no reasons/basis to think, that Ned Stark can have a reason to lie about Jon. The same applies to the case, why no one ever suspected, that Jon is not Ned's bastard. Why Robb and Cat were unable to predict The Red Wedding? Why the Great Masters of Astapor didn't suspected, that Dany will use her newly bought Unsullied to seize their city? -> Because they were unable to imagine, that someone will try to do something like that, that something like that is even possible. Unlike modern people of the real world, GRRM's characters are simple people, with simple minds, and limited imagination, that are living in a simple and small world. Ned said that Jon is his son.Īlso, none of them ever suspected, that Ned could be lying for some mysterious reason, because they were medieval people, in their world there's no TVs, Google, Wikipedia, and other modern-world sources of information, that provide people with access to nearly unlimited knowledge, and make them more educated about the world around them, and what exists in it. So, basically, there are three reasons, why no one ever suspected - 1. Because, according to Ned's story, Jon was conceived after his wedding with Cat, and was born later than Robb, which is a lie. That's why people think, that bastards grow faster - Ned's maester made it up, to explain, why Jon is bigger and looks older that Robb, even though supposedly Robb is older. My guess, is that actually Jon is older, and that he was conceived while Ned was still in The Vale, or on his way from there to The North. Also, probably, Ned lied about, when exactly Jon was born, and conceived. The supposed father said, that the baby is his, and they look alike, so there was no reason for people to think otherwise. Furthermore, that baby looked even more Stark than Robb. If he didn't cheated Cat, then why did he said that he did? Why would he take a blame, and suffer repercusions, if he was not guilty in adultery? Ned himself said, that the baby is his. People believed him, because they had no reason to think, that Ned lied about fathering a bastard.
