So the prophecy may yet be fulfilled.īook readers learned about the song in book 3 while Arya was still hanging out with the Brotherhood Without Banners. From that union came the characters we know: Prince Rhaegar and his siblings Viserys and Daenerys. After hearing the prophecy, their father, King Jaehaerys II Targaryen, had his two children (Aerys, who would become the Mad King, and Rhaella) married to one another. The witch allegedly prophesied that the Prince that was Promised, a hero of legend, would be born from the line of Prince Aerys Targaryen and Princess Rhaella Targaryen, who were brother and sister. It's said Jenny was friends with a woods witch-like the one Cersei visited in her Season 5 flashback-who she brought to court with her. Jenny's Song is just one of the songs allegedly written about her, and it's referenced several times throughout the books, particularly in book 3, A Storm of Swords. Long before the events of the series, a Targaryen prince broke off his betrothal with a daughter of House Baratheon to marry Jenny, a common girl, instead. The song concerns Jenny of Oldstones, whose story isn't so sad in and of itself. "Jenny's Song" isn't one of the most important songs in Westeros (to be fair, neither is "The Bear"), but it does come with a sad story attached, not to mention some interesting context from the books.

RELATED: Game of Thrones to Resurrect Ned Stark, Jaime Lannister on Broadway Common criticisms included viewers feeling as though the shortened six-episode season was overstuffed, that character development was thrown out the window in favor of shocking twists and that the climactic battle in Episode 3 was virtually unseeable due to the dark setting.

Season 8 of Game of Thrones proved polarizing upon its release in 2019. While the timing of this new trailer might seem odd, its release follows the recent announcement of the Iron Anniversary Campaign, which celebrates the 10-year anniversary of Game of Thrones' series premiere.
