So, apparently we DO care about Rhaegar and Lyanna. I wonder if
Melisandre saw that in the flames.
"That's Tarth." I love it when a show ships my ship.
As soon as that ending sequence started, I knew it would be bad for one or both of those two.

There are any number of similar bits of history that have either been only vaguely mentioned or have not been mentioned at all.
