Thank you. I enjoyed this greatly. Especially the map aspect, with the controlled areas of each house laid out clearly. I am an old strategy game player, and maps are how I digest politics. As far as I know, no one has laid it out this clearly. Well done.
Thanks! These videos are based on many other similar videos, so I do have a great basis. So, thanks to all the people who explored the lore of GoT previously.
Every other house which has had it’s seat at Harrenhal also met a bad end. If you’re curious, look up the history of the castle on A Wiki of Ice and Fire, it’s very interesting stuff.
Baelish actually never set foot in it, saying Harrenhal was cursed and ended up becoming Lord Protector of the Vale instead. Janos became the Commander of the City Watch but got sold down the river by Tyrion. The curse came from the houses that were assigned the house- Qoherys, Lothston, Strong, Whent and others. Perhaps the only way to break the curse is to have an ironborn inherit the castle again
I’m starting a home brew GoT tabletop rpg for my friends (I don’t like the system of the public version) and these videos showing the houses are very helpful. Could you do a series on just which houses are sworn to other houses? I want to know which houses have vassal houses
Great video man just 1 point of critique. Sherrer is located in Vance land and Wendish town is located in Darry lands not in Pipers lands. Keep up the good work
I really love your Videos about those lesser houses it really gives a better look on Westeros and the World of Asoiaf itself. Question aren't the lords of Saltpans the Hawicks and the Coxes are lesser knights in their service? But I could be wrong though.
I know this is many years late, but I rewatched this video, and have to ask, are you sure about Roote and Wode? I got the impression they were tiny little houses? House Wode is specifically stated to be ''two landed knights sworn to Harrenhal'', so if you included all of Frey's vassal lands with Frey, then you should have done the same here and showed that area as Whent's.
Henrik Genzink well there is an tneory that the darrys and other houses made the first massacres up in order to promote war. mainly taken out of the inconstencies like hearing the mountain through a stonewall and everyone burning alive yet having witnesses from that same town.
Well, yes, after all Westeros is not alone in the Known World and even on this continent they got several languages. I am going to remake this episode at some point though.
I think they are when you include their vassel houses, thay have 4 or 5 at least/named, though a bit in the top corner might be House Vypren, who may or may not be another vassel. However if you mean what they directly own, then about a quarter of that area, but the rest of it is sworn to them, like Manderly says he has 'a dozen petty lords and a hundred landed knights'. It was roote and wode that surprised me, I thought they were tiny houses.
@@kijlermarble9679 so? maybe cos I only just saw the vid? I couldn't comment any earlier lol. Besides I'd still be interested in a reply that late to something i still liked, if you're not bothered anymore then I apologise :)

I'm reading dances with dragons i just red ch.48 Jamie were he is in the riverlands so i always like coming back and watching these videos when I'm in the story in a certain place so i can go back and see were it is im reading about
Good stuff. How about a couple of ethnolinguistic and religious maps of Westeros? First men ... Andals ... Rhoyner (?) ... Wildings ... etc Beleivers of the old religion ... believers in the 7 etc ...
1.) The Kingdom of the North - The North 2.) The Kingdom of the Mountain and the Vale - The Vale 3.) The Kingdom of the Isles and the Rivers - The Iron Islands + The Riverlands 4.)The Kingdom of the Rock - The Westerlands 5.) The Kingdom of the Reach - The Reach 6.) The Kingdom of the Storm - The Stormlands 7.) Dorne - Dorne The Crownlands were made along with Aegon's Conquest. That makes 9 total constituent regions.
Yep! I think it was mentioned in the video, but due to the geographical location of the Riverlands, they're always susceptible to being attacked. At one point, the Storm Kings conquered the Riverlands, and in turn conquered again from the Storm Kings by the Ironborn. And since the Riverlands were under Ironborn control when Aegon's Conquest began, they counted as one kingdom.
The Iron Islands aren't seen as part of the Seven Kingdoms in the current story of Game of Thrones. Whoever sits on the Iron Throne is considered the rightful ruler of the Seven Kingdoms; Current Song of Ice & Fire: North Vale Riverlands Westerlands Reach Stormlands Dorne Theon, Yara & Euron Greyjoy all state that the Iron Islands aren't really considered apart of the seven kingdoms. Aegon the Conqueror was being advised to consider either making the Iron Islands vassals to House Tully, vassals to House Lannister & some even suggested that Aegon simply kill the Iron Islanders. Aegon choose to let the Iron Islands choose who would lead them, which led to them choosing Vickon Greyjoy as First Lord of the Iron Islands.
This really a cool video.....but I have a question for you all..........Does anyone else hear the frog croaking through the video, or is that just me? Lol
wow bro I love these videos. by far some of the best videos I've seen. you should check out lady rawist, she has some cool videos to. I'll keep recommending your videos as well
How can one manage to control all other houses if he got lots of his own land to control? What would you choose: control other lords and get percent of their income, or deal with lots of problems coming from sh**ty peasants in the fields and getting smaller reward for it? Ruling Houses are like the top managers in the chain. They simply do not need lots of own land, because they get percent of the earnings from the other houses.
@@ScrivaTV The ruling houses conquered all the others when they built their kingdoms. Without a large number of sworn swords, and therefore personal lands, they would not have done it.
It would be one of the worst places to live. Almost everyday war is happening with surrounding warring kingdoms. They all march into your land and you don't do anything.
The Freya are the stupidest house. You're telling me nobody has built another bridge? The Tully's never used taxes to build a bridge? Lol Also any army can build a platoon, floating bridge, or a more permanent wooden bridge. The Freys and they're bridge are probably the stupidest thing in ASOIF/GOT
I hate house freys words because they remind me of house mormont. I think a better saying for house frey would be "cross us not" because the bridge they control also as a warning. It just fits better. Their words suck. Only good for the mormonts. I know, mormonts is "here we stand" but it's just too similar to freys. It bugs me 😒
well I haven't read the books so I don't know whats portrayed in there but off of what was said in the show about him being the late Walder Frey cause he didn't show up until the battler was practically won then the Blackfish and a handful of men took there Castle back from the Frey's and they had to call the Lannister to get it back and when the Lannisters got there there siege was atrocious.
They killed the Starks and captured the Tully, that is, neutralized the two great houses-the owners of the regions. What other small house has done this? Of course they are powerful.
@@NikolayDPR because all those things were not done by them. they needed to betray to kill the starks. (and they wouldnt have done it if lannister werent backing them) and they themselves lost the castle to barely an army of tullys and didnt know how to siege worth crap. anything they have ever accomplished they needed more powerful houses to show them how its done they are rich thats about it. but i havent read the books only the show. i dont know how well they are portrayed in the books.
@@JeffRB Read books, you lose a lot. The show is a faded shadow of books. And there is no idiocy, like Stannis burning his daughter. As for the Freys, the King of the North and the Trident (!) apologized and humiliated himself before the red wedding, as if he was not their overlord, but they were his. And the Freys could decide the fate of Robb's campaign if he went head-on to Tywin on the Green Prong, and they hit 4000 people in the back. And Catelyn had to squirm in front of them to get them to agree to support Robb. In front of a weak house, no one would behave like that.

ScrivaTV love these kind of videos with the maps and banners!! Super informative and fun to watch man!! Good job on this and your other videos
Sergeant Pete doesnt border the stormlands
Have you played Crusader kings2?
It has a mod for the world of ice and fire which is pretty awesome...
@@ScrivaTV this was great but you mised house Butterwel and in westerland video house Vikary but still great work
Harrenhal being "cursed" makes sense.
In the TV show Janos Slynt and then Littlefinger were offered Harrenhal. They both went onto die too.
Every other house which has had it’s seat at Harrenhal also met a bad end. If you’re curious, look up the history of the castle on A Wiki of Ice and Fire, it’s very interesting stuff.
Baelish actually never set foot in it, saying Harrenhal was cursed and ended up becoming Lord Protector of the Vale instead. Janos became the Commander of the City Watch but got sold down the river by Tyrion.

I know this is a little thing, but I really love the ambient sounds in the background rather than the music that most people would use.
watch it in 1.25 speed perfect.
Was about to post this myself.
That’s crazy actually
This is weird for sure but the fact it makes him sound pretty much normal is wild 😅🤣😂
Quality! I can tell you put alot of effort into these, well done. there really good!

Excellent video, very well explained and displayed. Using the maps and houses territory lines is very clever and informative.
Amazing presentation of the houses of the Riverlands! :-)
Great Job love how you use the map, I recommend either the Storm lands next or the Western Lands.
Great video man just 1 point of critique. Sherrer is located in Vance land and Wendish town is located in Darry lands not in Pipers lands. Keep up the good work
I thought that too but does it actually specifically say so? We may have just assumed it based on which lords/knights were doing the reporting?
I really love your Videos about those lesser houses it really gives a better look on Westeros and the World of Asoiaf itself.

Sometimes there is not enough lore to do so
Whenever we venture out into space and colonise exoplanets I expect to hear these stories about other planets. Except I'm not going to live forever
Wendish town is not at the border, it is in Darry lands, which is why the attack pattern of 'the mountan' makes no sense.
Henrik Genzink well there is an tneory that the darrys and other houses made the first massacres up in order to promote war. mainly taken out of the inconstencies like hearing the mountain through a stonewall and everyone burning alive yet having witnesses from that same town.
Joren van der ark the Darry's have a massive hard on for the targaryens so expect to see them pop up again for the arrival of Aegon or Dany
Do more pleaseeeeee!
I like the way you pronounce some house names and characters. They sound cool, variety is the spice of life.
Well, yes, after all Westeros is not alone in the Known World and even on this continent they got several languages. I am going to remake this episode at some point though.
That is very true. Why do you feel like you need to remake it?
It's way too slow and I wanted to add more pics of Riverrun, but didn't have the time to do that at the time. It's actually all about the time =)
Very Interesting, thank you.
House Frey is not that big area wise other than that good job
I think they are when you include their vassel houses, thay have 4 or 5 at least/named, though a bit in the top corner might be House Vypren, who may or may not be another vassel.

If the Riverlands doesn't count as one of the seven kingdoms then who is the seventh kingdom?
1.) The Kingdom of the North - The North
2.) The Kingdom of the Mountain and the Vale - The Vale
3.) The Kingdom of the Isles and the Rivers - The Iron Islands + The Riverlands
4.)The Kingdom of the Rock - The Westerlands
5.) The Kingdom of the Reach - The Reach
6.) The Kingdom of the Storm - The Stormlands
7.) Dorne - Dorne
The Crownlands were made along with Aegon's Conquest. That makes 9 total constituent regions.
I see, thank you for the reply. I never realised the Iron Islands and the Riverlands counted as one.
Yep! I think it was mentioned in the video, but due to the geographical location of the Riverlands, they're always susceptible to being attacked.

The Iron Islands aren't seen as part of the Seven Kingdoms in the current story of Game of Thrones.
Whoever sits on the Iron Throne is considered the rightful ruler of the Seven Kingdoms;
Current Song of Ice & Fire:
North
Vale
Riverlands
Westerlands
Reach
Stormlands
Dorne
Theon, Yara & Euron Greyjoy all state that the Iron Islands aren't really considered apart of the seven kingdoms.
Aegon the Conqueror was being advised to consider either making the Iron Islands vassals to House Tully, vassals to House Lannister & some even suggested that Aegon simply kill the Iron Islanders. Aegon choose to let the Iron Islands choose who would lead them, which led to them choosing Vickon Greyjoy as First Lord of the Iron Islands.
123hoythere The Iron Islands don't count as a kingdom i think.
how many soldiers do the riverlands had?
35000
13000
So Harrenhal is the WTC of Westeros

Where is house buterwel

What about House Ryger?
Where is Willow Wood located?
