"Casterly Rock does not suffer betrayal lightly...not since Tywin Lannister was old enough to go to war."
-Catelyn Stark
When did she say that....?
@@joeykijuancepeda4078 she said that in the books
"The north remembers" - "Good. Let them remember what happens, when they march on the south..."

3:42 "When disciplining unruly vassals, most lords send armies. My father only had to send a singer." Probably the most intimidating thing I ever heard.
Gives me chills every time that delivery is insanely good

"There's no faster way to dull a vassal's ambition- or any festive occasion- than hearing The Rains of Castamere"
I would love a spinoff series of this conflict and see a young Tywin.
I'd rather not have the prequels butcher such a fantastic character
NO DON'T SAY THAT! DON'T RUIN IT. shit like this feed D&D
Actually I like the idea except Charles dance was the perfect actor for tywin I can imagine someone play a young tywin
@@BastiAlexH If they do it they should use cgi de-aging on Charles Dance or make it animated and have Charles Dance voice him.
That would be cool! I would like to see the story of the Mad King...
Tywin, the king who wore no crown
Ahmed Harris in a just world he should have been King instead of Aerys II.
Cause his ancestors bend the knee infront of Aegon. And if he dare to wore a crown then he made sure to burned by dragons..
well he reing the kingdom for many years
Tywin, the Uncrowned King.
@@PorkotylerClips I think Tywin was actually okay with not being the actual King. It didn't put as much a Target on his head, he was able to control things from behind the scenes.
First warning: Tywin asking for repayment.
Second: Warning, Tywin taking Walderon Tarbeck hostage.
Final Warning: The Reynes and Tarbecks being summoned to Casterly Rock.
Let it never be said that Tywin was unreasonable.
you mean let it never be said that Tywin WAS unreasonable.
@@J0ECRAWF15H my mistake
@@ph89787 no worries!
The third wasnt a warning he was hopping they didnt come to give him an excuse to kill them...no not hope more like he knew..."exactly as he planed"
Tywin never asks anyone for repayment, he tells them.
I love how this one guy just came to Casterly Rock, yoinked all their shit and established one of the most powerful families of all time .....an appropriate start to the Lannister lineage
yoinked?
Sadly , the house died with him
I prefer the Theory of him Scaring off the Casterlies. It's funnier in my opinion than him just impregnating one of the Casterly Maidens. Imagine you're in your castle trying to sleep, and you suddenly hear someone whispering in your ear while you're sleeping. You wake up, but noones there. Then you hear Screaming, and Howling coming from the great hall, but you go to check, and there's noone there. You think it's a Demon, but it's just a very smart guy hiding in the shadows, and doing all of this to steal your castle.
@@jonnyb.animationstutorials7119 I mean it’s absurd that a wealthy lord would be scared of some midnight screams and noises and just fck off and leave all his wealth behind.
@@architius Imagine you're in your room at 3am trying to sleep, and all of a sudden you hear these horrifying screams coming from another room in your house. You'd be terrified out of your mind. It's not hard to imagine that after a while of Lan the Clever tormenting them and making them think they're castle was haunted or cursed, that they packed up what possessions they could quickly, and got the hell out of there.
"My father allowed eternity to last a year !"
The best line to describe "Tywin son of Tyttos of house lannister Lord of Casterly rock and Warden of the west" badassery.
Castly roch??
Done.
tenchu116 fastest reaction ever
Tyrion.
Tywin. One of the best characters written by Geroge R.R. Martin. Charles Dance. Is Tywin. No one else could have played him. No-one.
So you saying Arya could have played him? ;)
I think many others could have played him. I agree though, Charles Dance is awesome.
Fun fact: Charles Dances was the voice actor of Emyhr Var Emeris from the witcher, ironically, both men are considered most powerful in their continents :).
Anthony Hopkins could have been as good a tywin
Dave Patrick maybe even Christoper Lee
*Tywin Childhood*
Titos : Tywin its already late go to your room!
Tywin : *No* you go to your room.
Titos : okay then... goddamn..
"My father is tired, see him to his chambers"
Emmentalcheese
Titos : (escorted by guard to his room) but im not tired!
Guard : apologize lord. Im not escorting you so you could rest but for your own safety..
Titos : ...
Emmentalcheese
Tywin: Maester, perhaps an essence of nightshade will help him sleep
fffan1995 Titos: I'M NOT TIRED!
JK, he prob wouldn't have even objected the first time as soft as he was.
Titos : I am the KHING !!!!
Tywin smiles...:P
The Rains made three fatal mistakes:
1. They assumed that the son was as toothless as the father.
2. They assumed that when Tywin came knocking, he'd come to conquer, when in truth he came to annihilate them.
3. They didn't pay what they owed.
Reynes*
4: they didn't show their weiners
A lanister always pays his debts
@@famine.himself A Lannister always GETS his debts just as a Lannister pays them.
@Anonymous Castamere is the name of their Stronghold/Mines
“Unlike the Casterlys though, we won’t even have a castle to remember our names”, well there’s the city of Lannisport so people forgetting your names will hardly be an issue I think.
just that... Lannisport isnt a castle, but, as you clearly mentioned, a port-city:)
soo basically, what you're implying is... that they wont even have a castle to remember their names. Since, you know. lannisport isnt a castle
Are you guys dumb? A castle isn't important to remember names. King's Landing isn't a castle, yet EVERYONE knows King's Landing.
Countercurrents They meant that great houses needed castles for their names to be remembered (ex. Casterlys = Casterly Rock). King’s Landing doesn’t have a name of a house in it now doesn’t it?
@@nicos5853 Yeah, but if it HAD a name in it, you would remember it.
keep in mind Tywin was 19
That makes it even more badass... and terrifying
WOW I had watched this whole thing imagining Tywin as a seasoned 30 year old commander/ warrior to have completed this feat at 19 is just insane. He is absolutely my favorite character
Arya is like 9 in the books.
How much I wish it was Tywin narrating, and the good old story of the Castle.
MrFantocan His version of Lan the Clevers tail made me question whether he gave the Casterly the Reynes and Tarbecks treatment. Could you imagine Cersei narrating this?
Nah, just the Casterly's defeat was enough shame.
MrFantocan Tyson would not like to boast as he said "any man who has to proclaim they are the king is not king" Tyson's reputation speaks for itself
@@hansolo4017 unless your name is Ragnar
One does not simply narrated by a hero
Let's be honest, the Raynes and the Tarbecks had it coming
Iwan Egerström hell yeah dude
That's what happens when you don't pay your debts.
I don't think anyone really should have that coming - as in deserve.
I mean, it's not like they weren't offered plenty of ways out:
1. They fucked with their liege lord for years, maybe decades. That's already bad.
2. Tywin told them to repay their debt. They laughed him off.
3. Tywin imprisoned one of them. Instead of taking the message and finally paying up, they threw a tantrum, forced Tythos to release Walderan and to forget their debts. That's even worse.
4. A year later, Tywin called them to answer for all their BS. This is the moment where they still could have obeyed and maybe their houses would have survived. Instead they picked up arms against their lord, and the rest is history.
So yeah, they very much had it coming.
Tywin did nothing wrong
Nikolaj did a stupendous job narrating this and I would honestly consider buying an audiobook if he read it.
am i the only one who heard the windows ring?
No
Perfect Cell no
I just left the fullscreen to see wtf was going on with my sistem. I'm in my phone... Lol
Yep did
Holy shit why is there that windows notification sound? I keep exiting to check on my system but nothings there.
Tywin wasn’t evil, he just didn’t play the fool
@B. P Catelyn abducted his son and thought nothing of it. She failed to account for him.
Lions Roar I think that's what they tried going for when he & arya spent their little time together
He had the mountain rape and kill Ella martell and her children. He was excessive when it didn’t call for it
@@Mike-do3oy The issue is that Tywin saw it as a necessary lesson to teach his son or others. Ella and her children's murder had a point to it. Killing the rebels when his father was weak had a point. Salting and burning fields had a point to it. None of it is needless in his eyes.
I can liken it to President Snow from the Hunger Games when he speaks to Katniss in the 4th movie. "We both know I'm not above killing children but I'm not wasteful." Tywin often does harsh things but it is never reckless evil for evil's sake. While Cersei seems to take his worse lessons to heart, Tyrion and Jamie do provide the reader with the more moderate lessons for ruling.
Tyrion is said to be Tywin's true son because they think similar and people love Tyrion. The only difference is Tyrion has yet to be the Lord of the House and is limited due to his stature in war parts but I do 100% think that Tyrion would do much the same as Tywin if he thought the situation called for it.
Mac Dege I understand what your saying, of course he had to have them executed because of the possibility of the kids surviving and eventually usurping one of his grandchildren. The evil part comes in when he suggested that they rape and split her and her children in half, there are easier ways to kill women and children. That was just cruel
Imagine if Tywin would've actually been loving to his family in private. What a POWERHOUSE of a dynasty they would have surely been....
They would have vanished alot sooner.
Then he wouldn't be tywin. His flaw was also his strength.
He was a loving father, until his wife died in childbirth
Tywin, the Grand Moff Tarkin of Westeros. 'Nuff said.
Two epic actors. i mean Charles Dance and Peter Cushing, they just grab your attention and hold it, thats what makes a good actor, you can always tell a bad actor because you lose interest very quickly and forget what they are even saying.
Good actors are captivating, and It is great to have a show like Game Of Thrones where there is such a pool of talent and a wonderfully written story by George to just take the audience on a huge adventure.
On one hand we have a world trying to find its feet irl, but amongst all the chaos we have a wonderfully written tale in a song of ice and fire, it is a truly scary yet wonderful time to be alive, but as the saying goes.......Chaos is a ladder!
Once the trebuchet's were in position. I imagine Tywin would have said.
"You may fire when ready."
"not another word!"..........."continue!"
Lol so true
he made his own son a cockhold i'm sorry but he's a evil guy, yet we love him
Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister) is, by far, the best actor and character portrayal on the show. He dominates every scene he’s in. A wonderfully complex character.
Tywin Lannister looms as large as Casterly Rock.
Jaimie has a great reading/voice over voice. I love how he stays in character I need to own these!
A Lannister ALWAYS pays his debts.... Love this motto
this is why we need a prequel series. I wanna see young Robert CAVE in Rhaeghar's chest with a HAMMER.
They’re having one before this for dunk and egg and the dance or the dragons but if they ever did the war of the nine penny kings and the ascension of the Mad king that would be dope
This back story itself deserves a prequel series, such an amazing story.
"Eternity lasted a year"
Just enough time for Tywin to train a big army and make enough siege weapons.
Tywin the badass
Marcus Johnson that doesn't make it right
headhunter 9865 this is why a just ruler is short lived.... justice is relative. A ruthless leader that does what needs to be done but also know his limits however is well respected and what we call successful
Tywin the mighty lion of the rock.
Murder? It was war..... (whispers) It.....was.......Waaaaaaaaaaaar!
Sam Smith
And how did Tywin fare in the end?
You realize that he could’ve plundered their castles and taken them as repayment. But he didn’t. That is why you fear him. Because if he goes to war, nothing will remain.
The gods kinda forgot about the cubs
That's ok, where there is a lion or tiger there is our Tiger King, Joe Exotic to save the day( after he is exonerated of course)
@@ozymandias7372 lool maybe Biden will, Trump didn't
Roger Reyne feasting Tytos Lannister is like a thief robbing you then inviting you for a party with your own money
The way he says that last line gives me goosebumps every time.
Tywin is the real king of westeros
Was*
He used to be the hand of the king, when the king was not mad king. He was the best political man of westeros.
Tywin is life
Tywin is 💀
JoeKickass324 a king that died shitting
Hmmph...
In the Book Theres still tons of gold in the westerlands
Yeah, I think the problem they have in the books is a mix of the war and debts racked up by it outpacing the economy and the risk of inflation (the more gold you produce the less valuable it becomes if the demand doesn't equally rise)
+Lord Frostwind
That's what happens when you flood the market with gold bars or dollar bills. They become less valuable. That's what modern economists who don't think there's anything wrong with flooding the market with dollars don't get.
Back in my childhood, a large deluxe action figure was $50. Now it's $200. In my lifetime, we saw the dollar drop in value four times to its original value. My science teacher in grade school told me it was worse: she grew up in a time when burgers and fries don't even cost a dollar. Now, if you want a full set of burgers and fries from a random establishment, be it McDonalds or White Castle, it costs you almost $10. The price went up ten times the value of what it once was when my science teacher was still a wee little girl.
If we don't put a stop to this, our kids will be spending upwards of $20-$100 for a decent meal. Our savings will be destroyed. That's why this inflation and printing money business HAS TO STOP. The Federal Reserve is killing the worth of the same currency it's printing like mad. People will switch out to the Japanese Yen or the Euro just to save their wealth. Nobody will trust the dollar ever again if it becomes as over-printed as the Yuan.
@@HolyknightVader999 Dude, the dollar is actually way too strong. US goods are not competitively priced in the global market, because we don't have ENOUGH inflation.
@@anonuniversal364 That's complete horseshit. Back then, people can get a decent meal in a fast food joint for a dollar. Now, you'd need up to $10 just to get a decent meal.
@@HolyknightVader999 The price of milk in 1959 was $1/gallon and the median household income was $5400. Today the price of milk is $3.50/gallon and the median household income is over $50,000. Things were not cheaper in the past relative to income.
Rains of Castamere gave me chills. Like, I know it is an imaginary story, but still. Tywin was very TOUGH
And how did this terrifying man die? A man whom sundered castles and buried families alive? A man who was the true king of Westeros behind puppets and one many wars?
Hah, on the shitter, two crossbows in his heart, from a man he thought inferior.
How the mighty fall ...
The irony though.
Vibhanshu Vaibhav
Tywin thought that all men and women should be as psychopathic as him.
At one point in the story he was poised to have the north with Tyrion and Sansa, the west with Cersei and that gay Tyrell, and the south with Margery and Dorne.
The one thing he was incapable of seeing is that humans are not perfect robots. Emotions, frailty, fear, love, honor are all things Twyin was incapable of reconciling.
He could have won the war. He would have won the war. But he treated humans as chess pieces, and not as individuals.
@@arunshukla5664 If Arya was the one to kill him it would've been karma for the red wedding. But seeing that Arya killed Frey for that, I actually think its karma cause he just couldn't see beyond Tyrion's size, if he had recognized his son's wits and his mind for strategy and put him to a better use instead of treating him as a monster whom only lived because of his last name, he would probably still be alive. Tywin's death was karma for taking for granted the child that was most like him. (Yes, Cersei also is very smart like him, but all she cares about is her children, on another hand, Tywin couldn't give a f*** about them, he only cared for the Lannister legacy)
I think his demise was as poetic as his first victory.
No wonder Tywin was always such a badass. Even as an old man he still made his enemies fearful.
Even as a kid he would stand up demanding respect at the age of 10
Wow I should really read the books. Tywin was more of a badass off screen . I'd pay to see that as a show.
If you still haven't read em, please do so. They're vastly better than the show, and a lot of characters they did dirty on the show are done better.
I had goosebumps at the end. Now finally I know what exactly happened at Castermere.
Moral of the story, don't laugh at lions
TheAbsoluteBest they were red lions, they are small timers, real Lions are gold, and that is big timer.
Those red lions are just a bunch of wanna be Lannister. It's like a cat pretending to be a Tiger?
+soyon manlai you are wrong lions exist with many cloths
I would play to watch a movie of this. With Michael fassbender as young tywin
If Jake Abel had Michael’s voice in my mind that is the image of young tywin
This just came to me. The word “rains” in the song The Rains Of Castermere can be referring to House Reyne. Reyne and Rains sound very similar
A movie focusing solely on this comflict would've killed it at the box office.
0:40 love the light of the seven in the background a start of a great dynasty and a great family
Tywin Lannister. The Mighty Lion of the Rock, protector of the Westernland, Warhero of the Nine penny Kings, Former greatest Hand of the king of the Realm.
and killed by a dwarf
Cersei eradicated House Tyrell just like her sweet old father. The second wealthiest house in Westeros.
They are not eradicated in the books even so she fucked herself in the process and didn’t think of long-term only doing it out of spite. Like Tywin said she’s not nearly as smart as she think she is
In a way she indeed did. But also her own family through the deaths of Lancel and Kevin. Cersei became her own house the moment she became queen.
Tywin is and always will be the Greatest General
That windows ringing tone is extremely annoying
Good voice reading and pictures as ever but the shows version of casterly rock is a poor substitute for what it should have been. And when Jaime says even dragon fire would have washed over it like water? Bullshit ser, I take it harrenhall the mightiest, largest, strongest castle of all time was made out of chocolate?
I hate to be that nerd but it's a giant mountain, measured three times the height of the Wall, with caverns and mines running through in it. Harenhall was five narrow towers
Like Shay said, the castle on top of the Rock is a small part of the whole complex. Inside the Rock itself are countless halls and rooms.
It's said the valerians used their dragons to melt stone in order to shape it although perhaps its dragons were of a greater calibre that the Targaryen's. Even so a blazing fire in tight confines quickly eats away the oxygen.
Apparently High Garden, the centre of the Reach, known for being the most fertile of all the seven kingdom, consists of uplands that would only be suitable for low intensity pasture.
Terry Keicher Its hard trying to accurately potray mythical amd grand castles bro.
I love how they played a brief tune of House Stark when Lord Rayne reached his sister’s castle
Thank you for another great video. I always look forward to them
Wow truly amazing visuals used to tell the "rains of castamere".
In the show the should have called it "Casterly mound"
Reliably Top Player
No, it's not.
I was never not chill.
Just pointing out something else that Dan and Dave fucked up.
Look up Malbork Castle. Doesen't look as large or impressive today, but it covers much more land than casterly rock.
Still not bigger than some real castles like Malbork Castle. If you look at the actual land that they cover. It's not a contest.
Also, Yes. I hate season 5-7 with a passion as well. I think almost every book reader will. LOL.
Reliably Top Player Really Really fucked up highgarden. Plus no battle and Jamie has to negotiate with Olena? A Redwyne. Not either of Mace's two other sons.
It was pretty disapointing to see. I have not even read the books yet and I thought it barely looked like a castle, it came off like some medieval prison.
Tywin was my favorite character
bros computer is NOT having it
So glad someone acknowledged it😂💀
Tywin great leader, military commander, and soldier. That can never be denied. However he was a horrible mentor bc he could not give his children the upbringing they required to be what he wanted for them and he could never see the potential of them
A Lannister Always Pays their debts and yet they always collect there's
We need a spin of series on this, would be so good
The IRS is nodding in approval.
There is other item about the Lann Clever that he marry the Casterly's maid that he gain entry into family it is also rumour that he is Andal, but this time of Age of Heroes 2000 years before the Andals came to Westores.
Badass if tywin cut jaime off when he was about to say "With no one left to hear"
Tywin the BOSSS!!!!!!!
"And now the rains weep o'er their halls with no one left to hear."
Chills!
My God this was amazing
Tywin
The greatest character without question.
Tywin is a true leader. Leads his followers into battle, ruthless, takes no shit.
I love their beautiful voices telling the stories.. wow.
"Casterly Rock has never fallen"
Well, it has fell now.
I want a prequel series about Tywins youth and rise. The war of the nine penny kings and the rain of castamare deserve their on series!
We need a spinoff of Tywin’s life.
An entire series might be too much. A single movie should suffice.
To be fair, the Reynes and Tarbecks HAD indeed been taking advantage of Tywin's family, and he did GIVE them a chance to pay up. They should've listened...
Oh shit, so I’m seeing a good bit of historical parallelism from Tywin Lannister to King Henry V, of England - and guess what Henry’s family name was... Lancaster.
It is intentionally like that which is why the feud between Stark and Lannister like in York and Lancaster
I don't understand the notion that without the gold mines Casterly Rock is useless. It is still a centre of trade and wealth. It is a seat of a great house and the center of power in the Wlands. It is also a magnificent Palace and the largest and most well defended fortresses in Westeros.
Useless may have been the wrong word but the mines is what made it stand out
This is the best history video
Watched this a dozen times
Jezuz christ is my response everytime at tywins brilliance and ruthlessness
Westoros was at peace when Tywin was Hand when Aerys was king.
Aerys & Rhaegar both went and ruined that peace, Aerys for being a gigantic fool and treating Tywin like shit and Rhaegar and Lyanna running away they did without letting no one in their families no and in turn, getting their families driven to the point of near extinction.
its been at peace many many times in the history of the Targaryens. such as the reign of Jaehaerys I
If aerys let Rhaegar marry cersei
I refuse to believe that a man like Tywin can be the son of such a weakling like Tytos
The art is so good
What a story, Mark.
so how is your sex life?
Rooster Cogburn Oh hi, Danny.
Nicholas Eickman This comment thread is the shit lol.
The night is dark and full of tywin!
Narration was excellent.
If you're gonna record something and reupload it can you not blast the windows errors sound constantly, seriously why would you upload this knowing those sounds are in it, scrap it and start again thats what anyone would do.
8:46 hamas tunnels soon
same thing was said in vietnam
@@TheBuddha10Except palestine is destroyed and Hamas dwindling quickly.
He destroyed them so completely, that I've always thought the house was "The Castameres."
Finally people who also acknowledge Tywin as they best character ever conceived
Why I'm I watching this while I'm drunk lol
Bogdan Tutuianu
AYE same here. . . ... Fire and Ice. . . .
I watched high on magic mushrooms before. It was epic.
FOOKIN steaming on red wine while watching this
Because you must both drink and know things.
The windows thing threw me off more so much
I love tywin's brutality
"We won't have a Castle to remember our name." Y'all have an entire city named after you guys.
Come on make a series of this
Yeah but you'll have lannisport to remember the Lannister name
Edit 5 years later: Tywin still the goat
And so he spoke...
And so he spoke...
“The castle has never been taken”
Wait until season 7 mate
Eh, I think in a potential future where Cersei wins, they'd still make that claim and try to spin it that the Unsullied really didn't take the castle, they let them take it, so it doesn't count. Would fit in with Lannister hubris.
They gave it up.
Jamie took all the food and water and left only a few men to fool Tyrion. They attacked high garden instead.
SOL-LIT X and get so much gold
This was not taken but instead given without much of a fight. As jaime said it hold no value to them compared to the reach.
Charles Dance was born to play Tywin Lannister
The fact that the only reminder of these families is that one creepy and harrowing song says a lot about how a lion erased a family from existence by sheer power, and that's what made Tywin the best and unfortunately the last of his cruel line.
Or maybe not? Only that his features were divided into three, but can't unite as one. Who would rise as the best out of his offsprings? I vote for the sharpest one yet; The Imp.
“Gold wins wars. Not soldiers.””Then how come Robert is king, and not Tywin Lannister?”
Nicolaj has voice
With no one left to hear….
I thought Tytos was Tywin’s father but he said that tytos was tywins grandfather
Are there anymore GOT stories like this? Where did they come from? Really interesting
Yeah there’s a lot of books that happen far before the Game of Thrones started they have a lore out there telling different stories with visuals from different parts of the book but you can read as well
World of Ice and Fire and Fire and Blood
Tytus is a true example of “being nice gets you nowhere in life” and “nice guys finish last”
More like: "Try pleasing everybody and you'll end up pleasing nobody." Because Tytos was a genuinely nice man, not an immature manchild who threw a fit because women didn't want to have sex with him.
