Liz introduces a new season of Westerosi Primer focused on long-debated book reader theories. Beware there will be spoilers for A Song of Ice and Fire novels and HBO adaptations. There are announcements about the website, newsletter, and a Patreon with ad-free episodes, and Discord access.
The episode explains the “R+L=J” theory—that Jon Snow’s parents are Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark. The episode starts by first reviewing alternative proposed mothers (the fisherman’s daughter, Wylla, and Ashara Dayne) and why each raises logistical or narrative problems.
Liz then outlines book-based clues for each possible mother before coming to her conclusion and that of many book readers. She also explores the potential implications about Jon Snow's probable parentage.
