21:24 House Qoherys is made in mockery to the one of House Hoare, because it depicts the four skulls of the Last Hoare's four sons, amidst flames, in honor to Aegon ending the Hoare line as he told to the last Hoare : ''Before the sun sets, you line shall end''.
Makes sense. Valyrians didn't have any sigils so, they made a new one in Westeros like the rest of them.
That, and this is an interesting backstory.
As a lover of sigils, this video is a definite win
Same. Love ASOIAF heraldry
As a lover of Jackochoko, this comment is a definite win
Same
Except one.
I see the Targaryens have a sigil of King Ghidorah; the King of Terror, the Golden Demise, and the Planet Eater.
Same as well
The Crown on the Dustin heraldry is not just a reference to their past as the barrow kings, but also a reference to their supposed descent of the first king.
We actually know how the cadet branch of House Fossoway was born and why their sigil is a green apple, since it is shown in the Dunk & Egg novels.
I love alot of the sigils. The books describe so many. Alot of the minor houses have some badass ones.
Facts, I especially love the double entendre in the Karstark sigil and house words. "The sons of winter" with the white sun is so well thought out.
Never forget House Forrester, bannerman to House Stark and overseers of the iron Wood
I'm bout to get mad 😠 how tf he gon mention Whitehill without there famous rival family
@@tozy7208 ong yo they weren’t even all that 😒
@@YEAHBUDDY_WEED Better than Starks
Never heard of them in the books
@@kingofdragons7 they’re mentioned in the books only once but they originated from the telltale on game of thrones that was discontinued and they did that house so dirty
I've always counted sigils as part of the most interesting elements of the Ice & Fire stories. I'm glad the new show HotD is paying more attention to the sigils. Thanks for the video brother, really enjoyed it 👏👏
Sigils have always been interesting to me along with flags and emblems. I think it's funny how most old medieval European sigils were pretty boring in design when compared to George's ideas
I don’t know I think my family coat of arms is pretty cool but I’m bias.
@@nostear8261 do you mind telling us what it is?
@@nicklpantis well it’s Scottish (clan Bell) but it’s two symbols. One hand holding a dagger with a belt around it saying we beir the Bell. The coats of arms is a blue field with a stripe of a fur pattern in the middle with three bells around it
@@nostear8261 really cool thanks for sharing
My ancestor is Gustav Vasa a really famous Swedish king. The Vasa coat of arms is kinda basic i dont really know What it is But it looks like either two harps or a vase
Those Riverlands and Reach minor house sigils look MIGHTY similar.
Yh, I noticed it too, probably a mistake while editing.
For the Riverlands, it seems you have used the sigils from the Reach.
sigils do so much to cement the history and legacy of ones house/family. This video was much needed friend !
Always loved the sygils, such an iconic part of this series
I love the longer videos so much, keep it up! What an interesting episode! I'll be rewatching this a lot to pick up on parts I may have missed. FANOMINAL!!
Point of correction at 13:03, you switched the sigils for Houses Caswell & Ashford. House Caswell is the one with a yellow centaur with a bow & arrow.
Dayne is the best one. It just screams "we have the best sword"
House toland sigil is actually a dragon biting itself because the once pranked the Targaryens by making them 1v1 a chester whilst fleeing in the invasion of dorne
I love these kind of videos. Sigils are so fun combined with history.
Love these long form videos keep them coming please! 😁
Great video, I know that was a lot of work putting all of that together!
Great video ive been following your channel for a long time
karstarks having a sun as a sigil is not random, karhold is located on the very east of the north so they see the sun rising before the others houses. same thing can be seen in the martell sigil and the tarth sigil, both are also located on the east.
edit: and japan too!
very true it is the rising winter sun, bleak and white rather than hot red like it would be in Dorne.
@@aljosapetkovic69 yep and for tarth it's the sun of sunrise and sunset
When I was designing sigils and flags for my own sci-fi book series The Godsend Epic, I looked into every sigil in A Song of Ice and Fire to make sure I didn't unintentionally take any from George R.R. Martin. Some have subtle nods to the Westerosi sigils like House Kame having a blue eagle on a black field surrounded by the phases of the moon, which is reminiscent of House Arryn, while others were inspired by history and mythology like House Featherscales' sigil being a heart weighed against a feather on a golden scale on a green field, which is straight out of Egyptian mythology. It was a lot of fun coming up with them, although I only have less than 20 sigils, flags, and emblems in the first two books, Angel Odyssey and Angel Overload.
Love these type vids keep it up mate
Unwins ghost is gonna come and strangle you tonight. Imagine calling house Peake a lesser house. He is gonna make you regret that
7:57 House Falwell had some nice history. Apprently, there was a knight, Rupert Falwell ''The Fighting Fool'', who sided with the Faith Militant and killed many Kingsguard members before falling in battle himself.
I always thought House Dustin's axes were bronze, not rusted.
The 1st man houses always get a lot of shit for their names and things being so simple but people failed to realize that when those houses started, it was more or less the bronze age in the world of ice and fire so they were simpler and less flashy
Un grande lavoro, complimenti ❤️
From what I remember, Riverrun is on th3 confluence of the Red AND Blue Fork, hence the colors. Missee opportunity to have the Frey's sigil background color to be green, to depict the Green Fork the Twins go across.
I believe they are at the junction of the red fork and the tumblestone rivers. The blue fork is northeast of riverrun
Killing it with the vids lad
15:05 Daynes are the Gigachads of Westeros.. They need more attention..
Bear island actually looks like a walking polar bear too
Love ur content dude great work! Especially these ASOIAF videos . They’ve honestly been helping me be more immersed in my CK3 role play in the Game of Thrones mod. Understanding the lore, the geography, the culture thru your videos has been awesome.
You switched the sigil of House Caswell and House Ashford
Edit: And you showed the Reach sigil instead of the riverlands
Otherwise great video
Ah a fellow connaisseur. Was just about to write these exact things. I tip my hat to thee, good sir. And to whycreate, love his work.
Wow, that was just excellent. Thanks so much
My favorite Houses are Arryn, Martell, Targaryen, Manderly, Hightower, Dayne and Corbray
Cool topic and all of them included.Bravo
Malcador the Sigillite would have loved this video.
RIP to a real one.
Great video although I wish you'd mentioned the House words more often, they're as interesting as the images.
Ur vids are a must view for folks trying to get into ASOIAF. Great shit, man!
I believe house Tallheart had a lot of lore and was renown for making excellent weapons.
Love the video bro
Love these type of videos ❤
Hey man!! Great video!! you just mixed up the sigils of houses Ashford and Caswell in the Reach
This dudes voice is super relaxing, this could be an Asmr channel
simply a good video!
Only WC explains every sigil in the novels but absolutely refuses to give us a Frey family tree video 😂💕
Awesome, thank you
You forgot about the Foresters and their top quality ironwood in the north, my friend.
As a heraldry nerd, I enjoy that martin acknowledges it, but I am saddened by the diregard for the rule of tincture
Thank you. This is one of the best ASOIAF channels
Great video you definitely put in the work on this one.
Blackwoods may be an original OC don't steal, but their sigil goes hard
House Tarbeck actually is kind of an interesting sigil, because it's modeled after the Dallas Cowboys logo, an NFL team GRRM hates lol
I'm a big fan of Sisterman lore, or any Lovecraftian references in the world. The sistermen bear "the mark" or the webbing and its a sign of their God's blessing. They could have other marks as well, like the bulging eyes or drawn thin lips. Maybe they decend from the Deep Ones. Or took the lands from Deep Ones, maybe interbred. They worship the sea and air gods and see storms as their Gods' sacred children.
Arya definitely knew how To Kill a Mockingbird :)
He forgot my boys blackfishes personal sigil.😢
Been seeing loads of new sigils since playing crusader kings 3 GoT mod
This is the stuff!
The sigil of house Targaryen is definitely my favorite
What about House Forrester, Longwater, Blackberry, Goldwyne,?
Very good vídeo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Can you please do video about all the valyrian swords.
21:35 it looks like you showed the sigils of the Reach again, instead of the ones for the Riverlands
House Dayne of Starfall is located on the mouth of the Torrentine river.
Good video though.
You got the sigils for Caswell and Ashford switched
I'd love a video like this for the house words, if you haven't already made one.
There are like 7
@@MotherCelevrus there are dozens
House Blackwood sigil is my personal favorite, what House Blackwood was never exiled from the north and ruled the North instead of the Starks? 🤔
What
was it just me who wanted him to talk ab house reyne and their history with the lannistors
foot of the four belfries too!
sigils of ashford and caswell are switched :D
Where did all this info come from? Wow.
Can u do a video on how many soldiers and knights each house commands?
I'll be sure to watch this video just a bit busy atm
You missed the kingslanding
No House Forester?
I think you forgot house Forrester in the North
Bravo
Why would littlefinger choose a mockingbrid as a symbol?
23:39 - 23:53 I see a Targaryen sigil of King Ghidorah, the King of Terror and Planet Eater.
😂🤣Lizard Lions!!😅
Jaime, Jon, and Daenerys are the three heads of the dragon. I hope.
you forgot black fish
i thought the crown on the baratheon sigil was added after robert was crowned king?
No it was there before iirc, cause they just nicked the sigil and words of house durrandon, the house of the storm kings
Sigils are just old-school gang colors
The sigils of the smaller houses are more interesting tbh can you dedicate a video to the small houses? I mean Whitehill for example are banner on from house Bolton they also follow the 7 not the old gods these are interesting facts not everyone knows
Fam....How did you put Selmy as a Principal banner men over Connington and Grandison when they're Lord's and Selmy are landed Knights? You did the same thing with the Wester lands you put Clegane higher than House Farman....Dosnt make any sence to me
Noone cares about androw farman, whereas the cleganes are very prominent in the story as well as having a cool reasoning for their sigil other than just “we got boats cos we got a island”
WC!!!!!
How did all of these Sigels come out of one man's brain??
Aww yiss
You forgot House Forrester of Ironrath. "Iron from Ice".
beautifil. real fun. _JC
Best explain ever . I think I have the explanation for why aegon Targaryen the conqueror choose fire and blood for the motto of house Targaryen I think because of his dream that Daenerys need fire and blood to bring dragons back to the world the true power of old Valyria
Love sigils! Thanks this!😊😊😊
The lesser house sigils that you show for the Rvierlands are a repeat from the Reach, so they're all wrong and got left out unfortunately.
Old flowers is a branch family of the gardeners
The best sigil is House Clegane. Dogs are the best
The Vrywels have the coolest sigil ngl
House Storm Crow's sigil is a picture of your mom
Hi
House mallister have always been the best
