Perhaps I don't actually want the answer to that, though. If there even is an answer yet.

Given this is a non-spoiler thread, I will just say that there is some mystery about Lyanna's death, it is not really clear yet in the books whether she went willingly with Rhaegar or was taken (Robert clearly believed she was taken and started a war over it that he won to become king), and that story and the resolution of the mystery could play a major role in events to come in the series.
The show has not really addressed it in any detail at all yet, but if you read the first book, you get a sense of it (even in the book it is only hinted at and not revealed, which is par for the course for GRRM and this series which is one of the reasons the books are so great, you really have to pay attention and pick up on subtle hints, he doesn't just lay everything out there for you).
