Half the fun of watching "Game Of Thrones" and now "House Of The Dragon" is theorizing where the show might be going. Whether they’ve read the books or not, I think most fans are doing some level of speculating. What this story is about, however, goes way beyond any normal levels of speculating. As "Game Of Thrones" theories go, this one is an unhinged, deep-cut conspiracy. This story is about Lemongate and how "House Of The Dragon" seems to have acknowledged it or at least winked at it.

I don’t have nearly enough words or enough knowledge to give you the full backstory on Lemongate, but I will do my best to summarize. Daenerys Targaryen claims, after her family fled from Westeros, that she grew up in Braavos and had a lemon tree in her front yard. Lemons, however, are repeatedly said to come from Dorne in the books, and some of her other earliest memories of childhood, especially about the climate, don’t seem to match Braavos. As such, some book readers speculate she did not actually grow up in Braavos, and some even take it a step further and say her parents aren’t who we think.
