- The fall of King's Landing was something the green and Queen Alicent hightower were not ready for when the dragons of Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen were spotted in the skies above the red keep. With Aegon in the run and Aemond, Vhgar and Criston Cole on the march in the riverlands the city would fall with ease to the blacks.
The Fall Of King's Landing | Legendary Battles Of Westeros | House Of The Dragon History & Lore
The Dance Of The Dragons will be the focus of the plot of the new HBO spin-off House Of The Dragon coming in 2022. So if you want to learn the story before we see HBO's take on it then this will be a very long-running series. Game Of Thrones / House of the dragon are HBO shows based on George R R Martin's A Song Of Ice And Fire series. The information in this video comes from the books a world of ice and fire as well as fire and blood.

Seems like this will happen in the season 2 finale. Season 3 will have plenty of Rhaenyra/Alicent scenes while the Blacks slowly see things fall apart for them.
It’s gonna be epic!
That’s so early! But yeah, I could see them rushing that shit. It will be epic spectacle though
@@KenyanRoyaltythe epic would've be to see Aegon 3 taking the throne
Pulling up on King's Landing with this much Dragonpower only after Vhagar leaves is actually kinda funny 😅 really hits home just how menacing and imposing a figure she is. Where she goes dictates the movements of every other dragon on the Continent. Only Vermithor "The Bronze Fury" could truly match her in size and strength, and survive a battle with her.
The cannibal and Meleys could have too, but Meleys got double teamed.
Vhager is big but had she been there she and Aemon would surely been overwhelmed she might of got one or maybe 2.
Vhagar is imposing and rightfully so. She's the biggest living dragon. They could've tried to take her, but, they didn't want to risk it and I don't blame them. Why die when you can count on the outcome? To me, it's kind of sorta, embarrassing. They left King's Landing wide open and Rhaenyra takes it. This leads to deaths and maimings. This is the second time Daemon played in their face and they fell for it.
The entire war they underestimated Daemon's influence.
The main things I want out of season two are, in order: blood & cheese, the dragonseeds, bloody Ben, and the battle of tumbleton
This episode is going to be epic I have no doubt about it. Don’t know how many times I’ve heard your video on this multiple times just imagining it playing out sounds epic. Seeing Caraxes and Syrax plus the rest of the dragons bring fear on the people of kings landing is really going to be some sight. “Daemon gave us these cloaks and there gold no matter how you turn them.” 😁 love it.
I feel bad for Tyland imagine the suffering he went through and he stayed strong. Even after being disfigured and having to serve the son of the woman who tortured him, he did so honorably and skillfully.
Additionally.................KING Daemon Blackfyre is better than Daemon Targaryen.
That strange coming from a Lannister.
@JoseGonzalez-pn5zl It's honestly strange coming from any lord who fought for the opposite side and was tortured on top of that they were torturing him for information that he knew, and he still never gave it up I don't think enough people give him credit for starting those initial steps of rebuilding after the war. And when he died, Aegon was with him seemingly trying to comfort him. Aegon may have just been kind, but that could also show that they might have had one of the best relationships he had with any of his regents.
A matter of opinion. Daemon started a war because he was convinced by other men. He was a weak willed man who should have known better. Other Daemon was a man who wanted it all but was born too late for it.
@TraciPeteyforlife It is an opinion, although I would have to disagree that King Daemon Blackfyre is weak willed. The people around constantly tried to push him to be King how many of us would be able to resist most of the people we know telling us that we should do something that we deserve this, and it took years if he even gave in at all Bloodraven was the one that reported he was plotting and he's not exactly neutral Daemon Blackfyre definitely had the wrong people around and influencing him but I think weak willed is a little dramatic
imagine both Daemons at the same time fighting side by side damnnnnnnnn
This is an event I’m so looking forward to seeing
A force with one dragon is something to fear. A force with six dragons? Only outright prostration will suffice.
First to take the Black 🖤
First to burn Rhaenyra with Dragonfire

@@gerardjagroo doubt she died like that!
@@lawrencereid2767 She did. She was betrayed by the garrison of Dragonstone.
She thought she was returning home to safety in the hopes of regrouping after the people kicked her out of King's Landing and killed most of the dragons.
Instead she walked into a trap and was burned and eaten in 6 bites by Sunfyre, her brother's Dragon.
I think I have a quote from the book somewhere. Ah! Here it is:
("...It was raining when the queen’s party came ashore, and hardly a face was to be seen about the port.
Even the dockside brothels appeared dark and deserted, but Her Grace took no notice.
Sick in body and spirit, broken by betrayal, Rhaenyra Targaryen wanted only to return to her own seat, where she imagined that she and her son would be safe.
Little did the queen know that she was about to suffer her last and most grievous treachery.
Her escort, forty strong, was commanded by Ser Alfred Broome, one of the men left behind when Rhaenyra had launched her attack upon King’s Landing.
Broome was the most senior of the knights at Dragonstone, having joined the garrison during the reign of the Old King.
As such, he had expected to be named as castellan when Rhaenyra went forth to seize the Iron Throne…but Ser Alfred’s sullen disposition and sour manner inspired neither affection nor trust, Mushroom tells us, so the queen had passed him over in favor of the more affable Ser Robert Quince.
When Rhaenyra asked why Ser Robert had not come to meet her, Ser Alfred replied that the queen would be seeing “our fat friend” at the castle.
And so she did…though Quince’s charred corpse was burned beyond all recognition when they came upon it.
Only by his size did they know him, for Ser Robert had been enormously fat.
They found him hanging from the battlements of the gatehouse beside Dragonstone’s steward, captain of the guard, master-at-arms…and the head and upper torso of Grand Maester Gerardys.
Everything below his ribs was gone, and the Grand Maester’s entrails dangled down from within his torn belly like so many burned black snakes.
The blood drained from the queen’s cheeks when she beheld the bodies, but young Prince Aegon was the first to realize what they meant.
“Mother, flee,” he shouted, but too late.
Ser Alfred’s men fell upon the queen’s protectors.
An axe split Ser Harrold Darke’s head before his sword could clear its scabbard, and Ser Adrian Redfort was stabbed through the back with a spear.
Only Ser Loreth Lansdale moved quickly enough to strike a blow in the queen’s defense, cutting down the first two men who came at him before being slain himself.
With him died the last of the Queensguard.
When Prince Aegon snatched up Ser Harrold’s sword, Ser Alfred knocked the blade aside contemptuously.
The boy, the queen, and her ladies were marched at spearpoint through the gates of Dragonstone to the castle ward.
There (as Mushroom put it so memorably many years later) they found themselves face-to-face with “a dead man and a dying dragon.”
Sunfyre’s scales still shone like beaten gold in the sunlight, but as he sprawled across the fused black Valyrian stone of the yard, it was plain to see he was a broken thing, he who had been the most magnificent dragon ever to fly the skies of Westeros.
The wing all but torn from his body by Meleys jutted at an awkward angle, whilst fresh scars along his back still smoked and bled when he moved.
Sunfyre was coiled in a ball when the queen and her party first beheld him.
As he stirred and raised his head, huge wounds were visible along his neck, where another dragon had torn chunks from his flesh.
On his belly were places where scabs had replaced scales, and where his right eye should have been was only an empty hole, crusted with black blood
Septon Eustace (who had no love for the queen) tells us Rhaenyra laughed when she beheld the ruin of Sunfyre the Golden.
“Whose work is this?” he has her saying.
“We must thank him.”
Mushroom (who had much love for the queen) tells a different tale. In his account, Rhaenyra says,
“How has it come to this?”
Both accounts agree that the next words were spoken by the king.
“Sister,” he called down from a balcony.
Unable to walk, or even stand, he had been carried there in a chair. The hip shattered at Rook’s Rest had left Aegon bent and twisted, his once-handsome features had grown puffy from milk of the poppy, and burn scars covered half his body.
Yet Rhaenyra knew him at once, and said,
“Dear brother. I had hoped that you were dead.”
“After you,” Aegon answered.
“You are the elder.”
“I am pleased to know that you remember that,” Rhaenyra answered.
“It would seem we are your prisoners…but do not think that you will hold us long. My leal lords will find me.”
“If they search the seven hells, mayhaps,” the king made answer, as his men tore Rhaenyra from her son’s arms.
Some accounts say it was Ser Alfred Broome who had hold of her arm, others name the two Toms, Tanglebeard the father and Tangletongue the son.
Ser Marston Waters stood witness as well, clad in a white cloak, for King Aegon had named him to his Kingsguard for his valor.
Yet neither Waters nor any of the other knights and lords present in the yard spoke a word of protest as King Aegon II delivered his half-sister to his dragon.
Sunfyre, it is said, did not seem at first to take any interest in the offering, until Broome pricked the queen’s breast with his dagger.
The smell of blood roused the dragon, who sniffed at Her Grace, then bathed her in a blast of flame, so suddenly that Ser Alfred’s cloak caught fire as he leapt away.
Rhaenyra Targaryen had time to raise her head toward the sky and shriek out one last curse upon her half-brother before Sunfyre’s jaws closed round her, tearing off her arm and shoulder.
Septon Eustace tells us that the golden dragon devoured the queen in six bites, leaving only her left leg below the shin “for the Stranger.”
Elinda Massey, youngest and gentlest of Rhaenyra’s ladies-in-waiting, supposedly gouged out her own eyes at the sight, whilst the queen’s son Aegon the Younger watched in horror, unable to move.
Rhaenyra Targaryen, the Realm’s Delight and Half-Year Queen, passed from this veil of tears upon the twenty-second day of the tenth moon of the 130th year after Aegon’s Conquest.
She was thirty-three years of age....")
One thing i relized about the dance is all sources that talk about the smallfolk use them as the measuer to give us a scoop of what cause chaos.
But its weird the small folk arent as active as they were before. Theyve killed dragons on mass and the lords and ladys arent?.
In the first book I just published there are a few sacks and capturing of capital cities. Those scenes are so intense and thrilling to write snd create. You're a great narrator, hopefully you'll be the narrator for my series 😉💰
what was otto hightower doing during this time ?
At last Daemon achieve his goal that he waited for long years
Can’t wait to see him take Otto head too
@@JoseGonzalez-pn5zl youre going to be waiting for the rest of your life then if you think thats happening
@@herbthompson8937 possibly but who knows
@JoseGonzalez-pn5zl Daemon doesn't kill Otto is what I'm trying to say
Of course but he get to witness it.
5:31 "We both know how this Council would rule". Lmao, so Rhaenyra knows that, if given the choice, Aegon II would be the mostly undisputed reigning Monarch. Well... I dunno, maybe she and Viserys shouldn't have been standing on such a ridiculous decision, given Viserys was made heir due to the fact that Westeros already made it clear that they'd prefer a male heir.
Lords, High Lords, Septons, Septa's, Maesters, Landed Knights, all these people already gave a decision that would've avoided all this bloodshed if it was simply listened/adhered too.
Oh well, sometimes you've gotta put people through the wringer before they see reason. If words don't work, action will likely do the trick.
Yea how dare they try to change a inherently bad system and try to evolve we should just keep everything the same duck reform, fuck evolution , women shouldn't rule and it should stay that way forever .
Rhaenyra was fighting for the song of ice and fire. Aegon wasn't. She would be selfish to surrender to aegon simply because she knows a patriarchal society would not choose her over a male heir.
@@mappingshaman5280 even without that rheanyra was the chosen hier the kings word is law and goes above all else to suggest rheanyra was wrong to fight for her claim just because westaros is sexist and would prefer a man is ridiculous and ass backwards mentality , leave it to this fandom to do the opposite of what Gourge intends for you to think in regards to this story , Gourge : sexism and patriarchy bad women should rule just like men , this fandom: actually no women shouldn't rule because patriarchy and following these fucked up rules is better fuck change , fuck evolution stagnation is the way .
@@mappingshaman5280Precisely. Green supporters only have medivial misogyny as an argument 😂
Alicent really was a crazy B. She could have easily been slipped some poison exct.
Alicent was the true girlboss of westeros period 💚💅
In the end the blaccs win anyway justice for green treachery
Hail Daemon
And do you know fans are upset about the fates of Team Green?! All I read is, "Why couldn't one of Daemon's kids die?"Baela or Viserys should've died." "Jaehaera deserved to live and marry Aegon.The Younger".
Like, they missed the point. This is one hundred percent karma. None of them survived after they started a war they weren't equipped to have out of greed.
