The death of the dreamy Jon Snow, the bastard of Winterfell and Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, at the hands of his little protégée Olly broke more than a few hearts and was, evidently for many viewers, one cruel demise too many. If the Red Wedding has taught us anything by now, it’s that it is ill advised to get too attached to any of the characters. Many people on Twitter seem to agree. > [](https://twitter.com/xKelleyGaming/status/610279256933830657) > [](https://twitter.com/ImDannyWilliams/status/610266106234671104) > [](https://twitter.com/dhewlett/status/610276761276911616) > [](https://twitter.com/CrzyJenks/status/610269346099695616) > [](https://twitter.com/ClaramJauregui/status/610268097195429888) > [](https://twitter.com/johnjannuzzi/status/610267721188683777) > [](https://twitter.com/mikefreemanNFL/status/610265975922032641) > [](https://twitter.com/GoT%5FTyrion/status/610265956560957440) **_Read More:_**[_Game of Thrones Ended With One of the Saddest Deaths of All_](http://time.com/3920729/game-of-thrones-season-five-finale-jon-snow-death/) ### See The Real-Life People Who Inspired Game of Thrones Characters  From left: Cersei and Margaret of Anjou HBO; Getty Images  From Left: Khaleesi and Queen Elizabeth I.
