Jon is the rightful heir by Targaryen Law

It doesn't matter if the crown prince dies before the birth of his son, the title is still passed down, examples of this in history is when Alexander the Great died to his sickness, his son was yet to be born but was still considered crown prince.

Mad King can claim anything he wants but succession laws are pretty straightforward by Targaryen law and there is no doubt Jon would be viewed as the rightful king.

Bran has the ability to see into peoples pasts, there will be no difficulty convincing here and he's a trueborn stark there is no way in hell the northern lords are going to turn their backs on what he has to say.

Since GRRM himself stated his story is going to have a bittersweet ending like lord of the rings, what happen at the end of the lord of the rings? Who is Jon snow based off of? Aragon, and what happened to him? He became king despite the obstacles in his way to becoming king.
