*"The child is a boy Aemma. I'm certain of it. I've never been more certain of anything. The dream. It was clearer than a memory. Our son was born wearing Aegon's iron crown. And I heard the sound of thundering hooves, splintering shields, and ringing swords, as the bells of the Grand Sept tolled. And I placed my heir upon the Iron Throne..."* That well known opening line from the house of the dragon trailer. Viserys was right all along. But ironically it was destined to be the boy he refused to acknowledge.
No because if you know The child needed to be from his daughter, so that is not true haha. Deanerys would not have been born and she needed to be born in the end. That was what he explained to Rheanyra. Her child needed to be on the throne and it happens in the end. The Greens just ruined the party because it got people killed. In the end the son of Rheanyra does end up on the throne but very sad because he lost almost everyone. So no it wasn't either of the children that he got from Alicent that were meant to take the throne. You can read the books.
@@-_YouMayFind_- I think it was meant to happen all along. Viserys saw his son wearing the iron crown of the conqueror in his vision and it became true. Only it was Alicents son not Aemmas. If Aegon II had not taken the crown, there would have been no war meaning Aegon III would never become king and Daenerys wouldn't be born either
@@pg1448 Right.... There is no war meaning Rhaenyra and Laenor remain husband-wife and Jacarys inherits the throne after her. Possibility of Aegon III's birth is almost 0.
The sword crossing, the tapestry, proud Otto enjoying his life’s work, the veiled & somber Queen kissing his forehead, the Septons marking his forehead,.. "All Hail His Grace...King of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men"...finally justice done to the proclamation of a new Absolute Monarch in GoT. I was blown away by the details in the coronation. It felt like watching Nicholas II being crowned in an Orthodox ceremony with all the hollow pomp & circumstance of a rotting system. It's what I'd always envisioned from a GoT coronation. Tom Glynn-Carney was terrific in bringing out Aegon's fear, hesitation, pride & euphoria all at once. I'm glad they kept the much despised Criston putting the Conqueror's crown on Aegon II's head. The Kingmaker is born! What the show's doing really well is the details, down to splitting the treasury or locking up servants. Usually the passionate debates, the treachery, the heartbreak are glossed over & we only see the regime change as "fait accompli". This bring to life the mechanism that historically goes behind a coup, which I assume is as emotionally taxing for the people seizing power. That's why I like agonized & conflicted Alicent more than her steadfast source counterpart. It feels more flesh & blood. She vacillates but her messianic fear for her children fates her to make a cursed gamble.
The whole dilemma about the dance of dragons is a very complicated matter, but can be summed up in a political one about inheritance: 1) Traditions: The tradition in (most of) Westeros is that of a Strict Male Only Primogeniture following the principles of Andal customs, although it can also be adapted to include females as well in case the male line dies out. So Aegon is the Traditional heir due to him being the firstborn son. 2) Legal: In Westeros, a King's word and the law are pretty much the same (more or less), they are supposed to be absolute in terms of authority. Therefore, A king has the right to appoint anyone as his heir, which make Rhaenyra, the legal heir due to her being appointed as Princess of Dragonstone if you follow the principle that a King's word is law. The main problem is that no Targaryen Kings ever tried to 'make' Westeros, to forge a united country. Sure, Jaehaerys Ist had made great lengths in making a draft of what Westeros could be by uniting partly the Kingdom with unified laws, unlike his predecessors who were uninterested/incapable of truly making a Westeros. It was far from the modern concept of nation state and constitution though. However, a major problem from this lack of legislation is that no kings ever tried to create a clear line of succession or laws related to it, not even the conqueror himself whose main concern after the unification war, should have been to consolidate power by unifying the realm proper, especially since he believed the White Walkers would come back and that Westeros needs to be UNITED under a Targaryen to face the cold and the dark. An exemple of this is when Aenys I died and Maegor usurped his nephew's throne due to him being the eldest and having all of the conqueror's regalia. Following this, there was the great council in which Viserys was named heir, from then on, the lords could all assume that Tradition, because of this precedent, won out on Kingly authority as a choice, but never truly settled the matter. This war can therefore be resumed as: 1) Do you believe in the King's absolute power and right to name his heir as he so please? 2) Or do you think that Tradition is the right way?
i love this analysis. but about the great council, the waters get even muddier because the council wasnt "the lords chose who is heir" it was "im letting the lords chose who I name heir" so on the one hand, it could be interpreted as the Lords and traditions holding precedent over succession, but it could also be interpreted as Jaeherys' decision to hold the council in the first place and him ultimately naming the heir, supporting the idea that the King's choice of successor is law. plus throw in all the stuff about who was legally considered the heir throughout Maegor's reign and the early reign of Jaeherys an it just looks even more like a very complicated issue that no one in westeros really wanted to mess with because it seemed more trouble than it was worth
For me it was about claim and she had it as his daughter and chosen heir. Other than that, it was a game of thrones and she did not even try to understand what it meant to rule and who she was ruling. It is the same reason i chose stannis over renly. Renly played better but stannis had the claim.
It's so beautiful how his mother's theme always runs in the background. Alicent is always there with him and even if they are the villains their bond is phenomenal.
Obsessed with the imagery when the Silent Sisters were wrapping up Viserys' body. Gloomy dimly lit hallway, religious ikons, incense burning, Alicent's silhouette beside the window with the sunlight falling on her. It's like a symbolism heavy mysterious renaissance painting. That's my type of aesthetic.
I am Team Black and we know Rhaneyra and Daemon are ruthless Targaryens and have the blood of the dragon. But we forget that Aegon and Aemond are also Targaryens. One of the reasons no one really won the Dance of the Dragons. Aegon sat the Iron throne but none of his children did. But he placed Rhaneyra and Daemon's child Aegon III on the throne so the Targaryen dynasty survived!
@@gonzommz1739 right he could have ended Rhaenyra's line right there but instead he made him his heir while Rhaenyra and Daemon literally arranged assassination of young Jaehaerys Aegon II is wiser and much more humane than his usurper sister
Beast beneath the boards is referring to more than Meleys me thinks. GoT phrases always had multiple entendres. Everything in this episode is kind of like a 'beast beneath the boards' and I think that's the point. It's referring to Aemond's ambitions for the throne. It's referring to Otto's brutal machinations behind his calm exterior. It's referring to Aegon's hidden depravity -- did you see the way Helaena recoiled when bowing to Aegon? It's referring to the White Worm's warning to Otto about how it's the people who ultimately enable them. As Larys said, Otto knew about the White Worm but allowed her to exist and essentially grow in shadows. That was a great way to plant a future seed. Our newly anointed king Aegon II was hiding beneath the "boards" too. Maybe we were looking at the wrong beast this whole time focusing on Meleys.
Aegon Targaryen sits the Iron Throne. He wears the Conqueror's crown, wields the Conqueror's sword, has the Conqueror's name. He was anointed by a septon of the Faith before the eyes of thousands. Every symbol of legitimacy belongs to *him.*
@Sneaky I mean maybe not have any kids at all then? She has 4 siblings who can carry on after her, she didn't need to have bastards. What Corlys or Laenor think doesn't matter, Westeros doesn't like bastards, especially not being ruled by them. And why should Alicent and the Greens put up with her sons being passed over for a woman and a bunch of bastards, something wich is against the law and by all the customs of the land incredibly insulting towards them? Alicent was married to the king to give him a male heir, that was the whole purpose. So name her firstborn son heir, and there will be no problem. Alicent obviously didn't go through 4 pregnancies, tended to his sickness and governed the realm together with Otto for years, so her children would go empty handed the moment he dies while Rhaenyra, Jace and Luke get everything. Meanwhile Rhaenyra did fuck all to deserve her position. No family will stick together when one side gets constant preferential treatment. That's why you should not break with tradition and laws at the expense of half your family especially when the other side has dragons too.
@Sneaky Joffrey being a bastard caused a war and the majority of the realm rose up against him. Daeron II being allegedly a bastard allowed the Blackfyre rebellion to garner this much support. Jon would never have been able to become king in the north so long as his trueborn siblings lived, so tell me again how these examples don't prove my exact point: Bastards are heavily stigmatized and despised in Westeros, what is even the point of denying it when it is shown so often to us, that people are willing to go to war over this? Therefore for Rhaenyra anything would have been better than having these obvious bastards and lying to the whole world about it. That's peak stupidity and selfishness. I mean she only tried with Laenor a "few times", she could even have found a lover who at least looked like Laenor instead. She doesn't have any excuse for this. Again why would you expect the Greens, why would you expect anyone to back Jace's claim and "sTiCKING ToGeTher", when they have objectively the better claim and should be the heirs according to the laws? Would you meekly back down and support people who cheat and take what is rightfully yours by all the laws and customs? No,fuck that, no one would. Alicent didn't court Viserys voluntarily, she has to obey her father, who has complete power over her. It's easy to say she should "fight for her own freedom", unlike Rhaenyra she is not a privileged Targaryen princess with a dragon who can do whatever she wants because her daddy grants her all that freedom and leeway. The idea that Rhaenyra is some independent, feminist revolutionary who fought for her rights is a joke, all her freedom and power derives from her unusually lenient father. Jaehaerys would already have sent her to the silent sisters or something for all her offenses. And what Alicent & Otto knew was that Viserys desperately wanted a son, he forced his first wife through multiple pregnancies and killed her so he could have a male heir. How are they supposed to know that the moment he finally gets a son by Alicent he would pretend he doesn't exist and instead only focus on his "only child" Rhaenyra? Corlys wanted to marry his daughter to the king for the same reason. Literally no one expected that Rhaenyra would remain the heir. Viserys is a complete cretin for this. If he loved Rhaenyra so much he should have named her heir when she was born instead of desperately trying for a son. If he didn't want a male heir he should never have married Alicent in the first place and given them false hopes. Alicents children being princes and princesses means pretty much nothing, if they stand to inherit nothing, while Rhaenyra and her children inherit the throne, Dragonstone and Driftmark. At best they can hope for lesser positions at court. It's simply not fair considering the decades of loyal service Alicent and Otto have given the king and that she has given him three trueborn sons who by all the laws should be first in line of succession. Dorne may have gender equal succession laws, but Westeros doesn't. The Vale only ever has a queen when no male heirs were available.
The coronation part was very cool, well acted and well done, as has been the standart of the series. I dont know what they had to fuck it up at the end with all the dragon shit. So damn random. Rhaenys just killed a bunch of civilians, then doesnt kill the ones she should kill, and goes? What the hell? What ollow spectacle, stupid girl power moment, in a show that has not been that until now.
That wasn't random. She stamped her disapproval and used the dragon for her escape. And we don't know whether anyone got killed. Some might have been injured though.
@@debojitchatterjee5657 She made a big hole in a very crowded place with a giant reptile that smash people to the ground or send them to fly, as we could see. If nobody got killed, thats even more absurd that killing a bunch of people and then do nothing with the real civil war power. You seem to be justifying the hollow and dumb girl power moment trying to devoid the character of the responsabity she has through the scene. You just dont kill a bunch of people just to show "disapproval" (except your character is a established psycho or very cold), and that killed people for sure.
@@albertocruzado2899 i think the answer is pretty much simple. That was her only way of escape after she got dragged into the coronation hall. If she stayed they would have killed her. Alicent didn't want her dead even she couldn't stop that action. Also I think you haven't noticed that alicent was standing in between her son and the dragon and rhaenys probably understands that she's looking out for her son and empathise that she has been nothing but a political pawn in other people's game that she didn't want to be a part of. There's a convo that happens between them that indicates that. And seriously?! Dumb girl power moment?! She's the leader of a house. I'm not defending any dumb girl power moment and clearly there are reasons for her actions.
@@debojitchatterjee5657 Yep. Kinslaying is also one of the worst possible sins in Westeros. And Aegon is her kin. That doesn't stop them later, but we're not there yet. Such things still matter.
@@debojitchatterjee5657 We know there is a back door. We saw that in the very first chapter, when Raenyra lands with her dragon at the beginning of the episodde. It was imposible for her to go that way or what? Thats just starting another problem. Because if she could not go there, why? There were guards there? And if there were guards, why not in the access to stop anyone from entering in the pits, something the series themselves says? The writers could have chosen to show her going through the back doors, but they choose that "spectacular" scene. Because they choose to go the "girl power" hollow scene. They wanted something "cool", and its just dumb. And i am sorry, but for a character they have put a couple of times talking about how the "men would burn the kingdom", like in that conversation with Alicent, it is just funny its her the one who kill a lot of random innocent people in an selfish desire to escape with her dragon when she has more reasonable options (and in reality, more probable to be succesful in a world with guards, like the kingsguard knight plan of smuggling her out of the city). If it is not a girl power scene, why that shallow action scene is there then? There were no other options to write on the script or what? I just created one right now, so they choose spectacle, not sense. They didnt even put her like being even remotely affected by the carnage she just unleashed. It would have ruined the "girl power moment" showing humanity or something. Typical. And not all the conversations with Alicent in the world can justify she dont killing them at the end. She knows that is not going to end well. You could have done the "she just leaves" thing if Rhaenys do not kill anyone, or at least, anyone who is not trying to stop her. But she demolished a lot of people and did a treat against the king. Thats war, i am sorry. At that point, she is not only a monster for killing that people, at minimun very cold, is a dumb person for doing that and not solving the civil war before it could start. Calling Alicent a pawn is such a simplification, by the way. She is just the most powerful woman in the whole kingdom. She put kings in thrones, she rules as one, even after the king is dead. The fact that she devotes herself her duty doesnt make her "a pawn".
I went for Princess Rhaeneys in that Scene she could said one Dracarys and ended a Disaster, also Episode 9 was one of the best i have seen so far, reminds me a lot of GOT Season 6 Episode 10 "The Winds of Winter" Ramin Djawadi made the Soundtrack, and Rhaeneys coming in with her Dragon is similar to the Wildfire Explosion in the Sept of Baelor.
Lol, no, she would have started a war, would have made Rhaenyra a tyrant. At the same time, such large houses as the Lannisters would be against it (they are on the side of Otto). Spoiler: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Rhaenyra will do the same in the future and this will be the end of her reign (and her life). So, Rhaenys did the right thing, thereby saving the lives of her granddaughters(And the Velarion house as a whole). Think for yourself, what would it mean to kill the royal family in front of the crowd that cheered, welcoming the new king? They had many allies, and very strong allies. By killing them, she had killed both her house and Rhaenyra's family
@@josephwantock1993 the ones who usurp are the ones able to do it, those who take the throne by force are those who deserve it more. Power is for the strong, not The one with the right bloodline
@@jrrj8478 This has nothing to do with who has the right bloodline. Both Rhaenerya and Aegon are children of Viserys. But Viserys named Rhaenerya his true heir, not Aegon. The problem is that this society is skewed to prevent women from ruling. If Rhaenerya was a man, there would've been no challenge to the succession. Otto was able to use the sexism of the lords to help prop his grandson as heir instead of Rhaenerya. Obviously Rhaeneyra won't take it lying down, thus the coming war of succession.
@L'Orchestra Cinématique I hope you guys do Andor Episode 6 where they're escaping The Eye. It would mesh well with Batman Begins and The Dark Knight soundtracks.

The whole dilemma about the dance of dragons is a very complicated matter, but can be summed up in a political one about inheritance:
1) Traditions: The tradition in (most of) Westeros is that of a Strict Male Only Primogeniture following the principles of Andal customs, although it can also be adapted to include females as well in case the male line dies out. So Aegon is the Traditional heir due to him being the firstborn son.
2) Legal: In Westeros, a King's word and the law are pretty much the same (more or less), they are supposed to be absolute in terms of authority. Therefore, A king has the right to appoint anyone as his heir, which make Rhaenyra, the legal heir due to her being appointed as Princess of Dragonstone if you follow the principle that a King's word is law.
The main problem is that no Targaryen Kings ever tried to 'make' Westeros, to forge a united country. Sure, Jaehaerys Ist had made great lengths in making a draft of what Westeros could be by uniting partly the Kingdom with unified laws, unlike his predecessors who were uninterested/incapable of truly making a Westeros.

Following this, there was the great council in which Viserys was named heir, from then on, the lords could all assume that Tradition, because of this precedent, won out on Kingly authority as a choice, but never truly settled the matter.
This war can therefore be resumed as: 1) Do you believe in the King's absolute power and right to name his heir as he so please? 2) Or do you think that Tradition is the right way?

How are they supposed to know that the moment he finally gets a son by Alicent he would pretend he doesn't exist and instead only focus on his "only child" Rhaenyra? Corlys wanted to marry his daughter to the king for the same reason. Literally no one expected that Rhaenyra would remain the heir. Viserys is a complete cretin for this. If he loved Rhaenyra so much he should have named her heir when she was born instead of desperately trying for a son. If he didn't want a male heir he should never have married Alicent in the first place and given them false hopes.
Alicents children being princes and princesses means pretty much nothing, if they stand to inherit nothing, while Rhaenyra and her children inherit the throne, Dragonstone and Driftmark. At best they can hope for lesser positions at court. It's simply not fair considering the decades of loyal service Alicent and Otto have given the king and that she has given him three trueborn sons who by all the laws should be first in line of succession. Dorne may have gender equal succession laws, but Westeros doesn't. The Vale only ever has a queen when no male heirs were available.
Wrongfully so. King Vicerys never changed the succession and so this is some Usurper shit. What a complete piece of crap. Drunken Rapist.
The king of the seven kingdoms ❤️
So powerfull and full of tragedy ,i feel shivers on my neck during listening ❤ ❤❤
Daaaamn this is sooo majestic, suited for a king that will force the realm to bend the knee 👌🏻🔥🔥
Main Character inspiration 💖✍🏽👍🏽👌🏽🫶🏼

all hail his grace king aegon of house Targaryen second of his name💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Is it me or 4:00 theme (this violins) sounds familiar? Is something with 'Hunger games' but maybe something esle.🤔🤔🤔
@UnawedJoker similar but this is not what I think. Thanks :)
It's also the motif that plays when Alicent enters the banquet hall during the wedding feast.
Ha, I told so! Its Hanging Tree from Mockingjay (Hunger Games) ;) same voilin style ruclips.net/video/F3hTW9e20d8/видео.html

I love this version!
I swear to God, I clicked on the thumbnail with Aegon's face and read "Fate of the Condoms".
it's amazing and beatiful
Do a mix of the Hightower theme with the imperial March I feel they would go really well together
name checks out
@@minotaur818 hey its a system we cannot afford to loose
@@thebaron2277 I agree, besides we need to maintain good relations with them
We'll have it dubbed as "The Imperial Dragon of the Hightower".
@@thalmoragent9344😮😮
That's a sick name bro
Not so epic, but delicious to my ears!
Well done!! Congrats!!!
The coronation part was very cool, well acted and well done, as has been the standart of the series. I dont know what they had to fuck it up at the end with all the dragon shit. So damn random. Rhaenys just killed a bunch of civilians, then doesnt kill the ones she should kill, and goes? What the hell? What ollow spectacle, stupid girl power moment, in a show that has not been that until now.
That wasn't random. She stamped her disapproval and used the dragon for her escape. And we don't know whether anyone got killed. Some might have been injured though.
@@debojitchatterjee5657 She made a big hole in a very crowded place with a giant reptile that smash people to the ground or send them to fly, as we could see. If nobody got killed, thats even more absurd that killing a bunch of people and then do nothing with the real civil war power.
You seem to be justifying the hollow and dumb girl power moment trying to devoid the character of the responsabity she has through the scene. You just dont kill a bunch of people just to show "disapproval" (except your character is a established psycho or very cold), and that killed people for sure.
@@albertocruzado2899 i think the answer is pretty much simple. That was her only way of escape after she got dragged into the coronation hall. If she stayed they would have killed her. Alicent didn't want her dead even she couldn't stop that action. Also I think you haven't noticed that alicent was standing in between her son and the dragon and rhaenys probably understands that she's looking out for her son and empathise that she has been nothing but a political pawn in other people's game that she didn't want to be a part of. There's a convo that happens between them that indicates that. And seriously?! Dumb girl power moment?! She's the leader of a house. I'm not defending any dumb girl power moment and clearly there are reasons for her actions.
@@debojitchatterjee5657 Yep. Kinslaying is also one of the worst possible sins in Westeros. And Aegon is her kin. That doesn't stop them later, but we're not there yet. Such things still matter.
@@debojitchatterjee5657 We know there is a back door. We saw that in the very first chapter, when Raenyra lands with her dragon at the beginning of the episodde. It was imposible for her to go that way or what? Thats just starting another problem. Because if she could not go there, why? There were guards there? And if there were guards, why not in the access to stop anyone from entering in the pits, something the series themselves says? The writers could have chosen to show her going through the back doors, but they choose that "spectacular" scene. Because they choose to go the "girl power" hollow scene. They wanted something "cool", and its just dumb.
And i am sorry, but for a character they have put a couple of times talking about how the "men would burn the kingdom", like in that conversation with Alicent, it is just funny its her the one who kill a lot of random innocent people in an selfish desire to escape with her dragon when she has more reasonable options (and in reality, more probable to be succesful in a world with guards, like the kingsguard knight plan of smuggling her out of the city). If it is not a girl power scene, why that shallow action scene is there then? There were no other options to write on the script or what? I just created one right now, so they choose spectacle, not sense. They didnt even put her like being even remotely affected by the carnage she just unleashed. It would have ruined the "girl power moment" showing humanity or something. Typical.
And not all the conversations with Alicent in the world can justify she dont killing them at the end. She knows that is not going to end well. You could have done the "she just leaves" thing if Rhaenys do not kill anyone, or at least, anyone who is not trying to stop her. But she demolished a lot of people and did a treat against the king. Thats war, i am sorry. At that point, she is not only a monster for killing that people, at minimun very cold, is a dumb person for doing that and not solving the civil war before it could start.
Calling Alicent a pawn is such a simplification, by the way. She is just the most powerful woman in the whole kingdom. She put kings in thrones, she rules as one, even after the king is dead. The fact that she devotes herself her duty doesnt make her "a pawn".
So good
Feels like the climactic battle music

Why can't we sort your videos? Why did you remove it?
You can’t sort music videos on RUclips
IS THS ON SPOTIFY GODDAMN
Sounds like it could be Maegor’s theme
Fr
Rhaenyra was called Maegor with tits
I love Aegon II the rightful monarch!!
Aegon Targaryen 🔥💚
The music has better claim to the iron throne than rhaenyra or aegon
Something about 3:30 to 5:11 that gives me goosebumps
I went for Princess Rhaeneys in that Scene she could said one Dracarys and ended a Disaster, also Episode 9 was one of the best i have seen so far, reminds me a lot of GOT Season 6 Episode 10 "The Winds of Winter" Ramin Djawadi made the Soundtrack, and Rhaeneys coming in with her Dragon is similar to the Wildfire Explosion in the Sept of Baelor.
Lol, no, she would have started a war, would have made Rhaenyra a tyrant. At the same time, such large houses as the Lannisters would be against it (they are on the side of Otto).

Rhaenyra will do the same in the future and this will be the end of her reign (and her life). So, Rhaenys did the right thing, thereby saving the lives of her granddaughters(And the Velarion house as a whole).
Think for yourself, what would it mean to kill the royal family in front of the crowd that cheered, welcoming the new king? They had many allies, and very strong allies. By killing them, she had killed both her house and Rhaenyra's family
The one true king
Hell no. Viserys wanted Rhaenerya to rule. Otto usurped the throne. Aegon is not the rightful ruler.
@@josephwantock1993 the ones who usurp are the ones able to do it, those who take the throne by force are those who deserve it more. Power is for the strong, not The one with the right bloodline
@@jrrj8478 This has nothing to do with who has the right bloodline. Both Rhaenerya and Aegon are children of Viserys. But Viserys named Rhaenerya his true heir, not Aegon. The problem is that this society is skewed to prevent women from ruling. If Rhaenerya was a man, there would've been no challenge to the succession. Otto was able to use the sexism of the lords to help prop his grandson as heir instead of Rhaenerya. Obviously Rhaeneyra won't take it lying down, thus the coming war of succession.
@@josephwantock1993 cry

@L'Orchestra Cinématique I hope you guys do Andor Episode 6 where they're escaping The Eye. It would mesh well with Batman Begins and The Dark Knight soundtracks.
