Right now with the hiatus on not only the show but also the books, fans are re-reading and re-watching and this new fan theory may just blow your mind. Let’s hope it’s not as messy as Oberyn though. Sorry, too soon?

This new theory discusses Tyrion’s parentage and the idea that what we think we know about it may not be true. This means that Tyrion may not be a Lannister but….a Targaryen? Let me explain…

According to Mashable:

While Tywin served as Hand of the King to Aerys, the theory goes, his wife was seduced or coerced by Aerys, who subsequently impregnated her. Tywin, learning of her pregnancy, attempted to abort the child using some type of drug. While the abortion did not work, it resulted in Tyrion’s deformity and Joanna’s death during childbirth.

What?! If this is true, it really would explain so much. Also, in the article, there is further “evidence” to back up this point. I’ll provide a link, don’t worry. But, what do you guys think? Do you think this may be true? What are some of your theories?
