At that meeting, the little woman who speaks of everyone in terms of their sigils and representations of their Houses, had this exchange with Lem: “A skin of wine for my dreams, and for my news a kiss from the great oaf in the yellow cloak…His mouth will taste of lemons and mine of bones“Įarlier, the GoHH was consulted regarding Lord Beric’s whereabouts. In ASoS chapter 43, the Ghost of High Heart demands payment for her news: I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that with their help, this pot will now hold water. While I initially laid this theory out on my own, much credit must be given to posters at westeros who picked up this cracked pot and ran with it. But it turns out that there are quite a few textual hints that support the connection. What would lead one to connect Lem with Ser Richard Lonmouth, erstwhile squire and companion of Prince Rhaegar Targaryen? To be honest, at first it was nothing more than the colour of his cloak combined with the conviction that the knight of skull and kisses is meant to be significant. Some time ago a chance combination of musings inspired by the questions of fellow posters at led me to connect Lem with another character whose name is mentioned but once and who is alluded to on only one other occasion.

Who among us hasn’t wondered at the true identity of the charming Lem Lemoncloak? One of the leaders of the Brotherhood without Banners, Lem appears on the page with no true name and no history, although we have names and stories for many of his fellows, including several of far less significance to the narrative.
