In this twenty second episode of Learned Hands, the Official Podcast of the Westerosi Bar Association, Maester Merry, Clint from Laws of Ice and Fire ask: What is the legal resolution of the Hornwood Inheritance Crisis
Our analysis this week includes:
- Poor Donella Hornwood gets the respect she deserves.
- Your Hands lay out detail on the family trees of Halys Hornwood, Donella Hornwood, and one or two other surprise Westerosi heirs.
- Clint makes an extended analogy about feudal property rights and San Francisco real estate that might hit a little too close to home.
- We give everyone a refresher on the laws of succession and play Westerosi Bachelorette!
- George R.R. Martin pays the price for his lack of vision/respect for the common law.
- The True Legal Heir of the Hornwood is identified, alongside the (actual) likely successor.
- Merry gives a bonus lecture about copyright law!
- Clint makes a weird Ferris Beuller reference!
- So many puns.
