I found some very interesting things hidden within the asoiaf books that I made a Jonsa meta that supports the events that happened in gotseason8 and the Jonsa marriage that will happen in a few years after the TV show. The phrases old enough, the King’s Hand, and the Gift are code words that link to the events and dialogue of the characters within the chapters they are found within Asoiaf.
I believe that “King Bran” is really the Hand of the King, Jon Snow, acting as “King” in place of Jon Snow. I also believe that the wildling Val is literally a stand in for Sansa Stark who will be Jon’s true bride. I haven’t finished my compiling of how it connects to the Ashford Tourney, but there is a small reference to Jon entering into the lists when he is old enough during the Hand’s Tourney. The title of The King’s Hand is passed from Ned Stark to his son Bran Stark, and Bran stands in Ned’s place as father to Sansa Stark. The cup has passed to Brandon Stark. And, the event of Jon Snow killing Daenerys Targaryen is also foreshadowed heavily and found hidden within.
You can read all and make your own conclusions of it in these links:
“Old enough”
“King” and “The King’s Hand”
“The Gift” … “This is the New Gift” … “Brandon’s Gift”
