The Targaryen were leech Lords, landlords of a foreign people. Refusing to interact or breed with them to keep their blood pure from the commons. Jaehaerys the conciliator was the first true ruler of a people and not some landlord with a dragon
Valyrian itself was awful, imperialistic slaver makers. Now we see a lot o fans rooting for the faction that would f.uck them less cruely than the other lol
@@mokarokas-1727 yes, her son Aegon the 3rd married Jaehaera (Aegon the 2nd the Helaena’s daughter). However, Jaehaera died and the couple had no children, so the Green line died out (minus Aegon the 2nds bastards, but they don’t really count since they are not legitimized bastards). Even then the royal line of Targaryen’s was carried on by Viserys the 2nd’s (Rhaenyra and Daemon’s son and Aegon the 3rd brother) bloodline.
Look at her tax policy period in kings landing and tell me again what she did to the small folk was acceptable by any stretch of ur imagination... 🤨 pls explain in long form because I can’t find any excuse under the sun for her behavior. Anywhere. At all.
So….. the only reason Rhaenyras son was crowned is because he was the only remaining known male Targ left. Rhaenyra didn’t win the war. Even later on, her own sons, grandsons, etc do NOT acknowledge her in the official targ lineage. It goes Vizzy, Aegon 2, Aegon 3……..The whole thing about the Greens line dying out is pretty much after the fact, ignores the actual events and of the war. There are a lot more nuances though.
Total Pyrrhic victory. It was a slow, painful, humiliating downward trajectory for her house. That's like burning down your home, killing your whole family, and destroying everything you own or ever loved in life just to kill a spider in your house. That's not a victory. The only people who won the war are the houses that had the good sense to stay out those inbred sons of b's family spat.
She didn’t win, her son was the only living male targ in kings landing. You do know that after this none of her descendants acknowledge or recognize her as queen? That no other targaryen was named rhaenyra because they considered her name to be a curse? That the line descending from her grew increasingly self destructive to the point where in modern day the house Targaryen is nearing extinction?
Excellent work !!
Thank you!

@@GoldRoadTravelercould you do more green content it feels like you’re pretty biased towards the black
Can’t wait for this episode! But feel sad for the Rhaenyra.
Shit's about to get crazy! Can't wait!
Queen Rheanyra didn’t deserve her fate. I’m glad that ultimately she won the war and it was her family who carried on the Targaryen dynasty

Dreamfyres death is why maelys coming up through the floor made no sense.
Yep
HBO are going to struggle to pull this off in a episode 😂
They will dumb it down. Which is fine but it’ll be a like 15 minute scene tops
Our favourite character is queen rhanerya targeryan.
This made me hate the smallfalk so bad
No one won the Dance of Dragons, but everyone lost.
