The Second Dance of the Dragons in ASOIAF
House of the Dragon adapts the Targaryen civil war called The Dance of the Dragons, one of the most brutal conflicts written by George R.R. Martin in all A Song of Ice & Fire. GRRM has also spoken (vaguely and 20 years ago) about the possibility of a Second Dance occurring in the upcoming books, either The Winds of Winter or A Dream of Spring. I, too, have a dream: to someday sit down and read TWOW. So when Daenerys comes home to Westeros, will she fight Aegon Targaryen / Young Griff? Will they team up against Euron? How do Tyrion, Jon Snow, and Dorne fit in? Who else will become dragonriders? How long are CZcams descriptions supposed to be?

The Idiotic Reign of Aegon the Unworthy
zhlédnutí 30KPřed 14 dny
He has stiff competition, but Aegon IV may be the most unworthy king in Targaryen history. From potentially committing regicide and patricide to take the Iron Throne, to taking advantage of his sister Naerys and brother Aemon the Dragonknight, to creating the everlasting problem of Daemon Blackfyre & the Blackfyre Rebellions, Aegon the Unworthy was truly terrible. Reigning decades after House o...

The One-Year Reign of Viserys Targaryen

Viserys II Targaryen only ruled Westeros for a year, but helped keep the realm afloat as Hand of the King during the reigns of his brother (Aegon the Dragonbane) and his nephews (Daeron the Young Dragon & Baelor the Blessed). There were a lot of idiotic Targaryens during this time period, and Vizzy's own son, Aegon the Unworthy, was the worst of them all. In all ASOIAF lore, Aegon IV might be t...
Azor Ahai & Paul Atreides: The False Prophets of ASOIAF
zhlédnutí 36KPřed 2 měsíci
George RR Martin writes complicated characters. His heroes aren't perfect, and his villains aren't Dark Lord tropes (usually). So should we believe that Azor Ahai, or The Prince that was Promised, is truly this magical prophesied hero who will come to save the world? I think it will be more complicated than that - Azor Ahai isn't a perfect person, and neither is Jon Snow or Daenerys Targaryen. ...
The Insane Reign of Baelor the Blessed

Throughout Targaryen history, there have been dumber kings than Baelor the Blessed (i.e. Viserys, who allowed a civil war and the end of dragons). There have also been more violent kings (i.e. Baelor's brother Daeron, who tried his very best to conquer Dorne). But in all ASOIAF lore, Baelor was certainly the most zealous, and cared more about the Faith of the Seven than actually running his rea...

Greetings. To ring in the new year, I have made another video adaptation of Fire & Blood. This time we look at Aegon the Conqueror's life as king of Westeros.

Is Targaryen Madness Real?

Have you heard the phrase, "Every time a Targaryen is born, the gods flip a coin?" If so, you've been lied to by anti-Targaryen propagandists. From Aegon the Conqueror to Rhaenyra in House of the Dragon and Daenerys in Game of Thrones, the number of mad Targaryens is far fewer than half. This video looks at each generation of Targaryen family history and assesses who is certifiably mad and who ...
Young Dragon: The Failed Targaryen Conqueror
zhlédnutí 55KPřed 5 měsíci
Born in the aftermath of the Dance of the Dragons, Daeron I Targaryen grew up dragonless. A dragon would have really helped him during his time larping as Aegon the Conqueror in Dorne. The Young Dragon had one of the shortest and most pathetic reigns in Targaryen history, as he lost over fifty thousand men in his war for Dorne and still failed anyway. Though Jon Snow sees him as a hero, Daeron ...

They also have potential connections to Asshai, the Hightowers of Oldtown, the Daynes of Starfall, and even Euron Greyjoy....

    Thanks for compiling this, it reminds me there are still interesting storylines from GRRM's work and it wasn't all a waste of time just because of the failed show ending. Asshai-by-the-Shadow should have been the FIRST spinoff series HBO came up with, but nooo, instead we get a Jon Snow and the Night's Watch which was supposed to come to an end when the white walkers stopped being a thing, and a show based on a different book GRRM went off and wrote instead of finishing ASIOAF.

    6:30 Viserys II is in the top 3 Targaryen kings in my opinion. Most likely Viserys saw what a monster Aegon was, and planned to disinherit him, most likely in favor of Daeron. Aegon somehow found out, and that’s why he poisoned him.

    Aerea was actually her identical twin Rhaella Targaryen. Rhaella Targaryen was forced to go to Starry Sept for religious vows but didn't have the temperament to be a Septa. While Aerea was very timid and shy. The sudden switch in personality came after a visit with one another after years of separation. p.s. there's a copies of banned books like Dragons Wyrms & Wyverns in the Black Keep / Winterfell, the North does not believe in book burning. Maester Aemon read them & passed copies to Rhaeger who may have made a trip north of the Wall as Bael the Bard ( Baelon Targaryen was son of Aerys Targaryen Lord of Dragonstone before Aegon's conquest)

    I see Young Griff as a very overrated character. Honestly, he reminds me of Perkin Warbeck during the early Tudor Dynasty. He and the Golden Company are already in Westeros and are pillaging and plundering the nobles and smallfolk of the Stormlands, in addition to the rape tales described in Arianne's sample chapter in TWOW, damaging his image. The golden company's own mercenaries are not well regarded in Westeros and the boy still has a questionable identity. I'm pretty sure that the high sparrow depends on the continuity of Tommen's reign to maintain the effectiveness of the edict that restores the powers and legality of the militant faith. It wouldn't be in the sparrows' best interest to risk their already established position in the capital to support a supposed Targaryen prince who is beyond their reach. My interpretation of the saying "The dragon has three heads" is that this actually represents three literal dragons. In the case of Aegon I being the three dragons of conquest and in the case of Daenerys, her children. The adventure of Young Griff and the golden company probably ends in King's Landing. I believe that Cersei Lannister or Jon Connington will end up destroying the city. Daenerys has so much to do in Essos in Vaes Dothraki, in Slaver's Bay and in Volantis, that I believe there is no time for a conflict of this magnitude to occur.

    I think dany rides all 3 dragons. I think her recalling that not even aegon the conqueror did is a red herring. The conquerors aren't the pinnacle of targaryen potential, they didn't hatch petrified dragons in an untaught fire ritual. The targaryens dream and waits for a "prince who was *promised*" and their sigil is a single entity with 3 heads (dany hatched 3 dragons, wears a 3 headed crown and is the child of 3). I think all 3 dragons are a representation of daenerys' characters. Everyone who looks at the "three heads has *the dragon*" prophesy and thinks its multiple people (even though its referring to *the dragon*; a single entity) gets a reality check. Rhaegar thinks naming his 3 kids after the 3 conqueror will forcefully bring about the prophesy but his 3rd child was jon (named viserys? But definitely not visenya) and it brings about the end of his house I think the distinction lies in the fact that dany is unlike all prior targaryen by both her actions and her potential (thats why the targaryens themselves at their peak power were in awe of this prophesy). The child if 3 rides the 3 dragons. Also everyone wants jon on a dragon but that just mean 1 less capable sword wielding person capable of leading on the ground. Jons skill and knowledge of the wall means he's more capable on the ground leading an assult with his wolf.
