Birth status matters in Westeros. Bastards are given certain names, so everyone knows their history, but a few escape that fate. In House of the Dragon, Rhaenyra (Emma DArcy) spends so much energy insisting her sons are Laenor Velaryons (John Macmillan), though they look nothing like him for this reason. Jacaerys (Harry Collett), Lucerys (Elliot Grihault), and Joffreys (Oscar Eskinkanzi) parentage remains an open and humiliating secret as they are called strong in a demeaning way, referencing Harwin Strong (Ryan Corr), to whom they bear a striking resemblance. Throughout House of the Dragon Season 2, Jace is bitter about his true parentage, growing angry with his mother. As the dragonseeds claim dragons , he worries about what it will mean for his future and the rumors of illegitimacy that have always surrounded him. Though it does little to comfort him, Baela (Bethany Antonia) assures Jace that he is not the only bastard to be raised as a noble, nor does it change who he is. And looking through history, Baela is right.
