Episode Summary

This week on History of Westeros, we delve into the chillingly personal journey of Arya Stark and her infamous list.

With insightful guests Ash and Aziz, we’ll unpack the significance of each kill, from the infamous Dunsen to the chilling Meryn Trant, exploring the weight of “Valar Morghulis” and the chilling implications of Arya’s path to vengeance.
