Well now. Allow me a moment of unhelpful accuracy. Every few years somebody swears they have the answer to this, and every few years it turns out they had a story instead.
The question, put plainly: whether Coldhands is who everyone says he is. My maester has a theory. My maester has fourteen theories.
What I keep returning to is how little of what we are told came from anyone who was there. It is all copies of copies, and each copy had a lord paying for the ink.
I am funnier than I am wrong, but not by much.
