Even if you're a show-only fan of the Game of Thrones franchise, you've probably heard whispers of Jon Snow's secret parentage.
Known as "R+L=J," the theory speculates that the pouty bastard Jon Snow is not the son of Ned Stark, but rather the true heir to the Iron Throne.

Here, we explain R+L=J in just over three minutes, so you can take part in the amazing world of fan theories, even if you have an obscenely small amount of free time.
