No he didn't.

http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Brandon_Stark_(son_of_Rickard)

Brandon Stark was the heir of Rickard Stark, the Lord of Winterfell, and the older brother of Eddard, Lyanna and Benjen Stark. He was killed by strangulation by the Mad King when he protested the kidnapping of Lyanna by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. His father Rickard died along with him by wildfire.
There are videos made as part of the show narrated by Robert, Nedd etc that clearly state that he was effectively made to kill himself by strangulation to try to save Rickard. This is show canon. You can find the videos on Youtube.

It's been established in show canon that Brandon Stark died from hanging/strangulation while trying to save Rickard from being burnt.

So no, he wasn't burnt alive.

It was just an inconsistency.
I dont think the particulars are relevant. Its not like he could google it. He grew up being told the story, most Northmen believe it to be true as well.

The Mad King was known, KNOWN, to be burning every campaigner. His last words were "BURN THEM ALL!". He was slain with a dagger to the back whilst TRYING to burn them all.

And you want to split hairs about his uncles death?

People confusing what we know with what the characters know.

It's explained in the books.

Brandon was placed in a rope device that meant while they tortured his father, the harder he tried to reach Rickard the tighter the rope bound around his neck. He strangled himself trying and Rickard watched his heir die before being burnt alive.

Has Jon read the books though?

Here we go again, you're basically excusing sloppy writing as who cares. Do you really think Jon didn't know the truth? That was a huge ******* moment to kickstart the rebellion.

I didn't think expecting continuity was that much to ask.

Recommend not watching the leaked version, episode deserves much better quality.
This.

Like how the **** are you going to watch the most expensive show ever made on anything less than 1080, or at the very least 720.

Though, the general gist so far is that it's a ripper.
