  • Welcome back for another Game of Thrones Prequel Series: House of the Dragon video. In this video, I will be going over the history of House of the Dragon, as told by George R.R. Martin, in Fire and Blood, Volume 1.
    I will be going over all of the major events that took place during the Dance of Dragons, when House Targaryen divided over who was the rightful heir for the Iron Throne. All of the information in this video is in George R.R. Martin's Fire and Blood, which HBO is using to adapt House of the Dragon. This will be a good history lesson for those of you who aren't familiar with this time period in Westerosi history. This will be part 1 of what will likely be a 4 or 5 part video series. This first video covers what happens directly after King Viserys I Targaryen dies. You will find out exactly how his wife, Queen Alicent Hightower, their son, King Aegon II Targaryen, his daughter, Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen, and his brother, Prince Daemon Targaryen, prepared for their fight over the Iron Throne, when they formed their sides that are known as, The Blacks and The Greens. Let me know what you think about the video. As always, thanks for watching!
    The story of House Targaryen will be told. House of the Dragon, the prequel to Game of Thrones, is coming to HBO and HBO Max. Here’s everything to know so far.
    What’s it about?
    Based on George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” the series, which is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, tells the story of House Targaryen.
    Who’s behind the scenes?
    Martin and Ryan Condal (Colony, Hercules) will serve as co-creators on the series. Miguel Sapochnik and Condal will be showrunners, and the pair will also serve as executive producers along with Martin, Vince Gerardis, Sara Lee Hess and Ron Schmidt. Miguel Sapochnik, whose directing credits include six Game of Thrones episodes, won Emmy and DGA honors for “Battle of the Bastards.” He was nominated for another Emmy in 2019 for directing “The Long Night” and won the Emmy for Best Drama Series as an executive producer for the final season. Clare Kilner (The Alienist: Angel of Darkness, The Wedding Date) and Geeta V. Patel (Meet the Patels, The Witcher) will also direct the series. Greg Yaitanes (Banshee, House) is director and co-executive producer. Game of Thrones and Westworld composer Ramin Djawadi will score the series.
    Who’s in the cast?
    Paddy Considine (HBO’s The Third Day and The Outsider), Olivia Cooke (Ready Player One), Emma D’Arcy (Truth Seekers), Matt Smith (The Crown, Doctor Who), Steve Toussaint (It’s a Sin, Doctor Who), Eve Best (Nurse Jackie, The King’s Speech), Rhys Ifans (Notting Hill, The Amazing Spider-Man) and Sonoya Mizuno (Ex Machina, Crazy Rich Asians) have signed on for the series.

    I’m on my 3rd time reading the book lol. The Dance is definitely one of my favorite parts. A very close second would be the end of Maegor and the rise and reign of Jaehaerys I. But the Dance chapters are done very well. I like how the book is written in the maesters perspective using accounts of different people. Leaves a lot things open to interpretation, which could be good for the show

      I totally understand, but I personally don't always have to go into something blind to fully enjoy it. Titanic is a great example of this. Everyone knew how that movie would end before they watched it, but the way it was executed blew everyone away, even with the sappy love story thrown in. This happened again recently, with the Michael Jordan documentary, The Last Dance. I knew the outcome of all those games, but the way the story was told was riveting. It was like seeing his whole career again for the first time.

    So the king died on the 3rd day of the 3rd moon (March, 3rd), and nobody does anything about the body for 7 full days. To say his smell was "wafting throughout the halls of Maegor's Holdfadst is a huge understatement. More like if u caught a whiff u probably puked everywhere.

    In the show corleys is not sure to survive right? I know the books is not for sure because it’s based on ppl in universe “writing it” the show has been a little different so far like how laenor survived I guess because we are actually seeing what really happened with our own eyes but the dance hasn’t even started and right now we are not even sure corleys is alive and off topic from what I just wrote but isn’t there only 3 families form valyria left? Targaryen, velaryon and celtigar?? Is house celtigar not as big as deal as the other 2??

    Will Melissandre be in this series given she was around 400 years old in GoT?

      Maybe as a cameo, but she wouldn't be plot relevant.

    I read the name Eustace as Yoos-tis and not Oos-tais. And Orwyle as Awr-will and not Awr-wile.
    Not saying that it's the correct way, just how I read it.

    They were both crowned Targeyen siblings, why didn't they just marry and unite rather then war against each other?
    Love your videos btw :)

      He was too young. She had to marry. She was already married, twice before he married his other sister.
