Rhaegar has no other trueborn children alive....therefore Jon is rightful King. Bastard's do not inherit anything from their farther unless they are ceremonized by the king as a legitimate son.. Ramsay was Ramsay Snow until legitimized by Roose Bolton king of North at that point. There is no evidence of Bastard's inheriting father's legacy.. If Jon is Rhaegar's bastard may be his sir name may change (Targaryan bastard's sir name is not clearly given though)
