Murtagh is often mistaken for Jamie's father, but he is actually his kindly godfather. He is not married and hasn't fathered any children.
Season(s) Brian Fraser (also known as "Brian Dubh") was husband to Ellen and father of Jamie and Jenny. He died a few years before Jamie met Claire.
Murtagh Was In Love With Ellen MacKenzie Fraser
Despite this heartbreak, he stayed devoted to her his entire life.
He was killed at the Battle of Culloden. They were married for a year, and had no children.
Murtagh is surely aware of Jamie's captivation for Claire; he is also likely conscious of Claire's reciprocation. Murtagh desires the best for Jamie. He does not wish for Jamie to just marry anyone.
“He's about 25,” Gabaldon said. It's an interesting response. If you're up to date on the series, then you know that Jamie is not dead at the age of 25.
Jocasta is Ellen's sister and has loved Murtagh from afar for decades, knowing that he was always in love with another. In the final episode of season four the pair came together, uniting a couple that were never united in the books and setting the television show on a brand new path.
Jamie marries Claire to keep her from falling into the hands of the evil Captain "Black Jack" Randall. They have one child, Faith, who doesn't survive birth; an adopted son named Fergus; and a daughter, Brianna.
Unable to sleep, Claire heads to Colum's library to borrow a book, and ends up eavesdropping on a conversation between Colum and Dougal. She discerns that Dougal has gotten Laoghaire pregnant.
Did you guess Lord John Grey? Because yes, Claire and Lord John end up married in book seven, and yes, they drunkenly (and full of grief for the loss of Jamie, whom they both love with all of their heart) consummate that marriage. And then Jamie shows up alive and well!
Following the release of the first episode, fans were quick to share their love for Jamie and Murtagh's friendship. One viewer asked: “What was the word that Jamie says to Murtagh in Gaelic and it's meaning?” Another explained that “ghoistidh” means godfather.
During his death scene in the books, Murtagh told Jamie at the Battle of Culloden: "Dinna be afraid, a bhalaich. It doesna hurt a bit to die." Murtagh utters these same words in America during his death scene on the Starz show, bringing the two franchises together.
Similar to his last words in season 5, episode 7 "The Ballad of Roger Mac", Murtagh's tells Jamie, “Dinna be afraid… It doesn't hurt a bit to die.” In the novels, Murtagh's line about dying is a way to assuage Jamie's fear about the fight.
While Brianna knows who William is, William does not yet know that Jamie is his father and that Brianna is his sister. He doesn't discover the connection until late in book seven, when he finds himself in Jamie's company and finally sees the resemblance between them.
At the end of An Echo in the Bone, William figures out the truth and it leads to anger with Lord John Grey. After all, Lord John Grey kept this a secret for so long.
Married at First Sight's Briana Myles Gives Birth, Welcomes 1st Child With Vincent Morales.
Despite being nephew and uncle, Jamie and Dougal had a complex relationship with the clan chieftain viewing his nephew as a rival and wanting to dominate the young man, including marrying Claire.
This one stings.
Jamie: "Claire, it was you. It's always been you, and it always will be. Get into bed and put the candle out.
Claire chooses Frank for 20 years until his death and then she finds out Jamie survived Culloden. She heads back to the past to choose Jamie for a second time. There's no way Claire and Jamie will choose someone other than themselves after this. They are endgame, and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
Season 4, Episode 9 “The Birds and The Bees” – Part 1
This is without a doubt, the best Jamie dad moment in the series — the moment he meets his and Claire's daughter, Brianna. It's one of those scenes that even if your heart is made of ice, it will melt. And you will cry. Go on watch it, try not to cry.
This storyline is taken from the books. In A Breath of Snow and Ashes, Claire and Tom come down with the same sickness around the same time dysentery is traveling around the Ridge. Claire knows that she didn't have the same thing, but she can't get to the bottom of the cause. It's Tom who eventually finds out.
At the climax of the play, Jocasta is so overwhelmed by the horror of having had sex with her own son that she commits suicide, hanging herself over their marriage bed. This is a Sophoclean innovation; in earlier versions of the myth she either stabs herself to death or survives the shock and lives on.
Questioned further, he answers that it was Laius's child, and that Jocasta gave it to him to destroy because of a prophecy that the child would kill his parents.
Jocasta handed the newborn infant over to Laius. Jocasta or Laius pierced and pinned the infant's ankles together. Laius instructed his chief shepherd, Menoetes (not to be confused with Menoetes, the underworld spirit) a slave who had been born in the palace, to expose the infant on Mount Cithaeron and leave it to die.
