Game of Thrones couple Kit Harington and Rose Leslie

Fans of George R.R. Martin's book series 'A Song of Ice and Fire' had been waiting for the on-screen relationship between the lovers from opposing sides since the series first came to television and they were treated to a whole season of their budding relationship in Season Three, culminating in that all too infamous cave-sex scene, and the all too frequently repeated sentence "You know nothing Jon Snow"

Relationships play an important part in the world of 'Game of Thrones dvd australia', they determine allegiances, spread wealth and help to secure the Iron Throne. However the relationship between popular Night's Watch member Jon Snow wildling warrior Ygritte was one of the few relationships we've seen so far that seemed to be happening for the right reasons.

However, much like Romeo and Juliet representing the warring Capulets and Montagues, the star-crossed lovers of Westeros couldn't overcome their differences and their fiery relationship seemingly ended when double agent Jon Snow betrayed the wildlings and Ygritte in order to alert the Night's Watch about the impending Wildling attack, leading to an emotionally conflicted Ygritte filling him with arrows.

It was undeniable that Kit Harington and Rose Leslie had an amazing amount of chemistry in their scenes and the revelation that the pair began dating in real life after growing close on set during the filming of their intimate scenes goes some way to explaining the success they had on screen. But in a bitter coincidence it appears that with their on-screen romance ending, so too has their real life one.
