Maybe the moral is that blood, not marriage, matters. Jon taking the black doesnt make Rhaegar not his father. He can still be the prince that was promised without being trueborn, he just needs to be a descendant of the right Targaryen.

Also "the seed is strong" might apply to Starks (over Targs) like it does Baratheons (over Lannisters).

Have you watched Preston Jacob's youtube channel? He's great with a lot lf these nuances. He has a multi part series called "the page of lies" based on a single page from the first book.
