STUPID BOY!

Bran was named after his uncle Brandon, not his grandfather Rickard. But it really was based off a lie, since Rickard Stark went down to Kings’s Landing with his son Brandon to protest about his daughter’s supposed kidnapping, which led to his death as well as Brandon’s by wildfire ordered by King Aerys II Targaryen. Then the king ordered Jon Arryn to bring him the heads of Robert Baratheon and Eddard Stark, Jon refused and Robert, Eddard (now Lord of Winterfell) and Jon rose up in rebellion and you know the rest. But if it was known that Lyanna wasn’t kidnapped but was in love with Rhaegar, then the war would have never happened. Robert still would have been pissed off since he was betrothed to Lyanna.
