Please cover the Exosquad
Meh
Still waiting for the redguard video
@@darklordmalthric9814---I remember the Exosquad so fondly. I wish this channel would go back to doing Sci-Fi video's. Even if it was for a little while.
Please do some more Star Wars or Star Trek video's Wizards and Warriors. Even some Halo would be nice. And Sci-Fi. You say you cover Space Opera. But I haven't seen any from you in a longtime.
The history of the Ironborn, is the history of an entire people constantly overestimating themselves. And constantly ending up crashing against the rocks as a result.
I still wouldn't mind being Victarion though :) What a beast.
A read in a study of ASOIF histories that the iron born history is caught in a constant struggle of the new way and the new old way after the failures of the old old way which came from the Ironbornes master of iron and sea over the petty tribes of bronze wielding first men
Reading their history in the world book is an absolute roller coaster.
Random King: "After that disaster, I'm gonna make some changes. Let's just peacefully trade with the mainland".
*The King Dies*
New King: "Remember the good old days of pillaging? Those were awesome, let's do that again!"
*Iron Born get absolutely wrecked*
Another New King: "After that disaster, I'm gonna make some changes . . . "
All they want is raid, reive, rape and pillage in peace. Is that too much to ask?
you mean shit-stained rock.
This is not related, but I just love how Balon in the GOT show has to cross the most unstable bridge in the midst of a storm just to go to bed 😆
Ironborn are masochists.
Pyke is probably the worst place to get drunk with bridges like that, one cup too many and a guy falls to the bottom of the sea.
I've forgotten everything past season 4.
@@pv2639 watchable till end of 6. By then you're invested. But that last season is tough to be "ok" with.
@@jonh8790 season 4 was the last good season imo. That was when they diverged massively from the books for no reason
Balon Grejoy:" Robert is weak and probably won't do much to stop us"
Robert Baratheon( in Anakin's voice):" This is where the fun begins!"
I imagine Robert was shouting at Jon Arryn with excitement because he gets to drag Ned Stark around again.
Robert "bigass motherfucker" Baratheon: :I bequeath unto thine squid face this hammer"
yea idk what the fuck he was thinking, because even IF Robert didn't do anything to crush his rebellion, the surrounding lords of the Westerlands, Riverlands and Reach would absolutely without question raise their armies to destroy Balon, because they're the ones he's going to be raiding and there's no way the Iron Islands could stand against all three of them
Robert: (Raises war hammer with murderous intent)
Tyrion Lannister:Great victory for your people. Shame how it turned out.
Theon Greyjoy:We were outnumbered ten to one.
Tyrion Lannister:A stupid rebellion then.
Did the Brit that animated, read the books? No
Yeah. The Baratheons really saved the Lannisters that time.
@CatotheE on the contrast, I think the greyjoys helped Robert
Balon Greyjoy: We do not sow...
Robert Baratheon: Yet you reap what you sow! *Procceds to invade the Iron Islands*
“You reap what you fucking sow Murray!”
Ned Stark: But you shall Reap.
Balon Greyjoy:" You may kill me but you can't call me traitor. No Greyjoy has ever sworm an oath to a Baratheon"
Robert Baratheon:" Swear one now or lose that stubborn head of yours"
Stupendous video! The Greyjoys - famed for their skills at archery, shipbuilding, and lovemaking. And failed rebellions. These guy are like Sisyphus, destined to always fail.
The history of the iron born is Probabaly worth an episode all it’s own.
As are all the seven kingdoms
Our boy Stannis making us proud again
Too proud lol
@@thenops8664 Yeah
Proudwing best bird
Stannis, Thoros, & Jorah must be mvp on this war against greyjoy rebellion
A few corrections
1. They took the targaryens to bravos not pentos
2. Robert was mad but he granted dragonstone to stannis not as an insult, but as his heir, thinking he was actually doing something nice for stannis
Exactly, the title Prince of Dragonstone was historically the title of the heir apparent, the same as the Prince of Wales in modern day England. This the nomination was a great honour, but I think Stannis wrote the script for this video because he always saw slights where there were none, interpreting the nomination as an insult as he expected Storm's End, the hereditary holding of the head of House Baratheon.
IIRC the books never have Robert explicitly say why he gave Dragonstone to Stannis. All we have is speculation on how he felt about it. Stannis certainly interpreted it as an insult.
@@starwarsnerd100 the books don't say it outright, but Gorge RR did on one of his interviews
he explains that it was meant to honor stannis, cus those that hold dragonstone have always been the heirs, but that stannis saw it as an insult for failing to catch the kids
@@starwarsnerd100 here is the things Martin said
"Stannis always resented being given Dragonstone while Renly got Storm's End, and took that as a slight... but it's not necessarily true that Robert meant it that way. The Targaryen heir apparent had always been titled Prince of Dragonstone. By making Stannis the Lord of Dragonstone, Robert affirmed his brother's status as heir (which he was, until Joff's birth a few years later). Robert could just as lawfully retained both castles for his sons, and made Joffrey the Prince of Dragonstone and Tommen the Lord of Storm's End. Giving them to his brothers instead was another instance of his great, but rather careless, generosity."
Tbh, if Robert's goal was to make Stannis his heir it was a dumb move to give him Dragonstone. As Stannis puts it, Dragonstone controls just some barren islands while with Storm's End controls the might of the Stormlands. Events would have happened very differently if Stannis was the lord of Storm's End while Renly was lord of Dragons
You guys should transfer the other Game of Thrones related videos that you guys have on the Kings and Generals channel to this one.
they probably will if they are running out of ideas
I think it's better for algorithm to keep all the views in the same place
It's silly because the history of the Ironborn are full of overreach against the mainland powers, and they keep on losing.
The revolt against King Robert Baratheon was even sillier because it gave Bobby B the one thing he craves the most, the one thing he's good at: War. And when he went to war against the revolt, he brought the might of the Seven Kingdoms with the biggest names of Westeros.
They have this imagined reputation of deadly raiders, but I view them as repeated losers.
"our words we do not sow..we do not toil in the mines we do not plough in the fields we take what is ours we will pay the iron price"-Balon Greyjoy
Chase the past, chase a violent age of "glory" that never existed the way you think it did and eventually you crash into the present with much less glory than you would expect.
Probably the dumbest war of all times, the Ironborn had no real way to win, even if their fleet had not been trapped there is a limit of how much soldiers you can put in ships, when your enemy can just build more ships and invade your islands while your fleet is still fighting the enemy, either you make each island a fortress or you get a super big and cool fleet, one of those sides is going to be much more weaker than the other, Balon chose to have a fleet and the islands were easy to take
Worse it solidified Robert's reign. I mean jesus balon was an idiot.
@@minatodroger7890 i dont understand why the Ironborn keep raiding westeros, everytime they do It they get destroyed, It isnt that hard to stop
@@minatodroger7890 he only stayed as dumb when he decided to invade the large poor landmass that is the north instead of the rich costal westerlands. Petty dumb dumb
Balon bet that Robert wouldn't got the support of the great houses for the war and that he could got naval superiority denying the possibility of landing
@@4flx17 if a a House supported Robert they would join him, if a House wouldnt then they would not help but also not fight Robert, no one wanted the Ironborn to be independent, they were doomed from the start
Love learning the lore of Westros. Reminds me of the British Isles history.
the First Men have a similar culture to the Celts of Britain
while the Andals have a similar backstory to the Anglo-Saxons, displacing much of the native inhabitance to their realms.
and the Targayans are portrayed as a warrior people like the Franco-Normans who unified several kingdoms into one nation.
That's because GOT is the War of the Roses in medieval England....
and a spice of the Great Heathen Host, but nerfed
@@LanMandragon1720 a variation of war of the Roses. I see a lot of influence from the Bishop war and war of the three kings from British history from the lore.
@@theawesomeman9821 And the kingdoms are probably inspired from provinces of the Roman Empire. North is a combination of Britannia and Germanic provinces. It has a wall that separates the civilized world and the “barbarian” world. Also the people are hardened and used to live through harsher conditions. The Vale is like Hispania or Illyria with its unruly hill tribes. The Reach, Riverlands and Westerlands are rich provinces like Greece, Asia Minor or Sicily. Stormlands provides a great deal of manpower just like Gaul. Dorne is like the African provinces and finally the Crownlands is like Italy. The Ironborn are like the pirate Saxons of Late Antiquity or their more famous descendants, the Vikings. GRRM obviously loves history and combines lots of things.
@@barissaaydinn I always thought the North was inspired by Scotland since people have a similar accent. I see Dorne more like Hispania than the Vale due to it looking like Spain, and I thought the Vale was like Wales due to a similar sounding name and history.
I love these Game Of Thrones documentary type videos. With the super rich comprehensive presentation of the land and weaving everything together. This is next level. Editing is great.
Gaining a knighthood, winning the joust and getting married. Jorah Mormont is a fortunate man. Probably will remain so..
Oh yea then he had a son and his wife is always faithful to him and the north respects him n ned stark give him many gifts for his service
Excellent guys this couldn’t have come at a better time 👍
STANNIS! STANNIS! STANNIS!
Minor note: Qhored the cruel didn't actually hold Oldtown, he only sacked it. The city remained independent after the ironborn departure.
Can you do a video on the Stormlight Archive's Battle of the Tower? It's such a unique battle with amazing background and long reaching consequences for the entire series!
Dude, too soon, spoilers ahead.
@@mikeboix3315 Although I just started reading the books in 2020, the first book is from 2011 lol
@@fildariusv7045 yeah but not the battle of the tower thing, that's from the last book.
@@mikeboix3315 Oh! I though it was reffering to the battle of the first book! Sorry, I haven't gotten either to that part xD
Another great video! Despite this channel not getting as many views as it should, I hope you guys keep going!
I won't watch any witcher or got content don't care for the universes of those properties at all.
@@Dayrahl I'm here for Star Wars, Tolkien, and ASOIAF. Don't care about Witcher or Elder Scrolls or Warhammer.
The funny thing is that Thoros didnt seem to remember anything of that battle because he was drunk.
Wonderful as always. You guys are great👌
Might I say that all the visuals and effects are amazing !
I loved this video. Are you going to do anymore? The battle of the red grass field and the events leading up to it would be great to see
Balon Greyjoy: an orgy of blood will free us from this weak stag!!
Bobby B: bet.
I’m looking forward to Malazan Book of the Fallen.
Excelente como siempre ✨.
I love ASOIAF. I would really love to see you do battles from The Wheel of Time. That’s like 15 books of battles right there. Tons of content.
Great video ❤
Man, you guys need to dig into the Malazan world. I am dying to see you cover the Chain of Dogs.
What is dead may never die!
But rises again harder and stronger
I wonder if one or more of these videos could be done about the Legacy of Kain series. Soul Reaver, Blood Omen, and the like.
This would be glorified
Love it!! Give us more!
Great video, thank you 🌮❤️
It would be cool if you did a economy of Game of Thrones like you did for Lotr. That video series was one of the best I have seen.
Finally! A Game of Thrones video!!!
very entertaining as usual
This channel is fantastic! Any chance you would cover The Expanse and the conflicts between Earth, Mars, the OPA and Laconia?
Malazan and Red Rising would be great series to cover.
Red rising for SURE!
If you try to do a Pearl Harbor against Tywin, that's gonna be a bad time.
Great work, looking forward to more in this series
Every time I see you've uploaded i hope it's finally the 40k video
Do the books ever talk about what is west of the iron Isles?
I imagine that while the ironborn were forbidden from raiding westeros other continents were fair game, imagine them discovering this world's version of the Americas
The books do not, outside of The World of Ice and Fire, as far as I know. The television show briefly mentioned that anyone who attempted to sail west was never seen again, which is what Arya's ending was about.
Whatever lays across the Sunset Sea is a mystery. However the Ironborn do have a presence on a small group of islands eight days sail west of the Iron Islands with the greatest of these small islands being known as Lonely Light.
In Fire and Blood we do read about an explorer trying to sail around the world and discovering three tiny islands. However most of her crew turned back due to the savagery of the open ocean and the fate of this explorer is unknown
@@Kyle-qd2sy Mysteriously, even though the explorer (Melissa Farman) was never seen again, years later a different explorer called “The Sea Snake” went east to what was basically China, and found Farman’s ship. Maybe she did sail around the world. . .
Also the tiny islands they found had kommodo dragons. Which is pretty cool.
Yes, In Fire and Blood, it's discovered 3 smalls Islands that only live animals, which were named after the first targaryen king and his wives.
The Book implies that going west of westeros, eventually one would reach asshai from the other side, thus going around the world.
There are several historical cases of seafarers sailing west through the Sunset Sea to try and discover what (if anything) is there (and probably a number of lesser-known cases as well). However, none of them have ever returned - or at least none of them are confirmed to have ever returned - although Elissa Farman's case (as noted in other comments) is hinted to be an exception.
Good stuff!
Will you ever do 40k videos? I remember seeing a poll where it won the most votes :)
The history lesson had a lot of mistakes but the part about the actual Greyjoy Rebellion seems accurate
what was inaccurate?
@@theawesomeman9821 okay it said The ironborn mainland strongholds we’re around during the greyirons which they weren’t The Lannister retaliation against the iron islands wasn’t a porta Lannister on the iron islands it was to retake them for the throne and get vengeance for the dance also it passed off the theories on why the Hoares where disliked by there fellow ironborn
@@hannothestupid2064 perhaps they are going off the show instead of the books?
There is also a lot of evidence that Daenerys's story of her birth is just... not correct. Like, everyone else seems to believe that Stannis's attack on Dragonstone was a hard-fought and difficult battle, which makes no sense if the garrison was already going to surrender.
I would love to see a video about the lore of Chivalry 2, especially now that their new update is on the horizon.
I come from Preston jacobs so this impressive fact checking leaves unimpressed.
Great video series!
"Three remarkably blonde children"
Lmaooooo what are you doing step-twin brother??
Lmao was searching for this...
After the big war, the people and lords just wanted peace.
The greykoys essentially kicked a hornets nest...
The one good thing about this rebellion is that it gave Robert something to do that he was actually good at. Every other aspect of being a king bores him
Thank you!
Had been a long time about the last episode about got i forget
I don't see why Robert should have spared Balon's life. If I remember correctly, Stannis tells Robert he should kill Balon, but Ned speaks up and says he should spare him.
that's right , Balon lived thanks to Eddard thinking that as long as his only heir( Theon) is hostage, Balon will not rebel again which proved correct until Robb decided to send Theon back home and then they invaded the north capturing Winterfell killing seemingly his brothers ( Brandon and Rickon stark)
After all Robert was not a cruel man in most cases (when it was not against the Targaryans, of course), and could convinced to show mercy. Maybe he just not WANTED to look like Aerys and end a noble line. A lord is a lord and even if he rebells, many kings do not exterminate a noble line easily.
The only thing I love more than history CZcams is fake history CZcams.
Could you please do a video on the Battle of Autobot City?
The iron born are one of the fiercest forces in westeros. Euron greyjoy is one of the very brutal commanders of them . But I'm sad about theon greyjoy his entire childhood was spent as a refuge and lost his brothers. Brilliant video. Grr martin created iron born as i remember the model of vikings.
This animation alone should be the basis for a total war Westeros standalone game
You didn’t mention the sea stone chair, the high seat of the iron islands, found there by the first settlers, made of oily black stone constructed to look like a kraken. Makes one think of Asshai… wonder if there could be a connection 🤔
I think that you should talk about the black fire rebellions.
Great video like always.
But u lack the content about the dune.
Still waiting for that red guard video
Both an explanation from yakudan sword saints to Cyrus rebellion
"The HOARES intermarried with the andals"😂😂😂
I like the documentary format. But why don't you upload some live footage? Thanks 👍
Thank youuu
I suggest the battle of Antarctica (Stargate Sg-1)
i would love to see some legend of the galactic heros videos
If you are taking ideas and suggestions for future videos, perhaps you can do some battle / war videos for the Blights in Dragon Age. There are some epic battles in the history of those games that left the land scarred and ruined.
Please do videos on the war of the red diamond and the wars of Cameron the usurper
The Iron Islanders fortune with Westeros depends on how much they try to incorporate themselves with the mainlanders. They seemingly prosper if they identify and trade with the Westerosi but in war they unite the Iron Throne against them. It’s like a vicious back-and-forth game.
Please cover the Exosquad
I always wanted to know why during Robert's reign did he share the lannister banner??. I mean I know that most great houses married other great houses but they never shared the banner.? Or am I trippin and that was during Joffrey reign.?
Are you going to do Aegons conquest of Westeros?
I'd love it
What is dead may never die, poor Theon
Harrenhal is such a stupid location to place a castle if you're a naval power. No way to reinforce it or supply it. I'd say they deserved what they got.
Show Stannis Baratheon some Respect he crushes the remaining loyalist forces at Dragonstone and TOOK the ancestral seat of house Targaryen by force arms he wasn't GIVEN it by some cowardly knights
Don't you think it's strange that only Dany and Viserys remember the MASSIVE storm that was apparently raging in the middle of Robert's Rebellion and destroyed the entire loyalist fleet?
That's because Viserys definitely made it up and Dany doesn't know what she's talking about because she was apparently just born and smuggled away JUST before Stannis showed up with His MASSIVE fleet and somehow managed to let the only ship that survived the storm escape?
At this point let's be realistic, Viserys is a obvious liar and people need to stop using Dany has a historical source on anything
Especially anything concerning Robert's Rebellion or history in general because she has been spoon fed Targaryen propaganda from birth
More sci fi, please! Where are first and second battles of Hadley's Hope?
I just wish got series started with this.
please do some star wars and star trek battle video
The Ironborn did Robert Baratheon a favor. Robert was terrible at ruling, but exceptional at fighting. Suddenly all of Westeros was united under Robert’s leadership to crush a small rebel Kingdom that the rest of Westeros all hated.
Proving that A. Robert was a worthy King, and B. All lords who challenged his rule would be hammered into submission. Just like Rhaegar and Balon Greyjoy.
Could you cover either the First or Second Battle of Reach in Halo
Can y'all do Eragon next?
Hey where did you get your Westeros Map? I’m making a tabletop..
Made it in-house
Its very intresting
nice video. But for me the Greyjoy Rebellion was always a downright stupid enterprise. Yo do not rebell against a whole continent, when your Overlord has no other rebellion or serious crisis to be worried. Like during the War of the five Kings, Balon obviously did never know how much he could actually chew down...
Interesting.
Any chance we could get a series on Stargate?
my king we should do this and this
robert : yes stanis should do it
I'm going to be honest, I'd not use the 3D images that you're currently using, it's a massive step down even from the drawn style of your main channel. Otherwise I am madly in love with the channel and what you're doing, and I'll continue to support, it's just a bit of feedback!
Finally some game of thrones action oh boy it time bust open a jug of maple milk and the trader Joe's JoJo's now it's good time
Ironborn! Yes!!
They were a menace on the sea for centuries until they met Stannis Baratheon. What a chad
It's a story about how a dog's tail will never straighten. Remove the clamps and it will curl again.
@wizardsandwarriors PLEASE DO WHEEL OF TIME BATTLES
Battlestar Galactica (new series)...please :)
