But the moment he drew his sword he killed all of his men at that moment because they didn't have time to prepare or forge a defense. And if he was so honorable he would've never slept with the Princess when she made a move on him

He was just helping that old fella back in his seat. Old man slipped and banged his head by accident.
@@martincolton32 in the book he slit his throat. so it was intentionnal
@@park1699 I didn’t see him slit his throat
@@park1699 that was the book
This ending will be fitting for his show counterpart. In the tourney, he attacked Daemon from the back when Daemon wasn't looking, that alone showed his real nature.
He then proceeded to not properly train Rhaenyra's children. What did Harwin Strong say? "This is what you teach Cole? Cruelty " and Crispin said something about there are no rules in a real war. Welp, that bit him right in the ass.
Crispin was no way near being an honorable knight and he didn't deserve an honorable death.
Man I keep telling ppl and I seem like the only one that says that Cole Stunk Daemon lol he lost head up but when daemon started gloating then he clipped him but he didn’t win forreal
When steel is drawn one shouldn’t expect a fair fight.
Befitting ending. His words came back to bite him😂
@@kaartierWhile I do agree with you to an extent, the fight wasn't over yet, and Daemon lost because of his own arrogance. That's why the Golden Rule of prizefighting is "Protect Yourself At All Times". Daemon did not do that, and he turned his back on an opponent who hadn't been incapacitated or forced a yield out of. As an experienced veteran Knight and tourney participant, Daemon should have known better. So while I don't necessarily like the way Criston won, and I definitely don't like Criston himself, it's Daemon's own fault that he lost the way he did, and Criston can't really be faulted for taking advantage of the situation the way he did either.
@@kaartierI competed in MMA for almost 10 years, and I currently compete in Buhurt. And if were to knock an opponent down without knocking him out, or otherwise incapacitating him, or making him yield/tap, and the ref hasn't stepped in to stop the fight, and I turn my back on him and start celebrating to the crowd, my opponent has every right to take advantage of my very foolish mistake. "It Ain't Over Unit Its Over," and, "Protect Yourself At All Times," are the two most important phrases anyone can learn when it comes to fighting, whether it's a prizefight, a streetfight, knights in tournament, soldiers on battlefield, it doesn't matter. Daemon fucked up and I can't hate on Criston for doing what he did. There is plenty of much more legitimate reasons to hate Criston Cole.
Cole won fair and square in the book
Butchers Ball is one of the battles i am really looking forward to see in HotD not because i want to see Cole die but because i didnt really see it coming while reading f&b and i really hope they will do it justice
Oh my god, I do hope they adapt Cole's death exactly how it is described here.
Given how messed up of a character he is in HotD, this will be ever more satisfying. He resides himself to dying as a warrior would... but instead is sniped from afar like a doe in the woods. He gained notoriety in tourneys but as he drew his last breath he was overshadowed by men who fought in real war and cared little for his plight.
Perfect.
I also hope that rhaenyra gets roasted just like in the books...wouldn't want them to change that satisfying ending
Cole was a real warrior, the best in the continent, he fought wars in dorne

Talk about a double whamy. Rhaenyra gets turned to fried chicken first & then gets turned into a dragon's happy meal. Daemon is the only Targ who goes out like a boss in the books.

That’s what I’m saying! Everything he touches collapses to ruin and dies. First Rhaenyra and then she got away and then all the bad shit befell the greens. Whichever side he loyal to suffers. Even when he isn’t trying to be cruel he just naturally is.

@@bradcsuka5054Daemon is worse. Why doesnt he deserve a terrible death?
I love the dance because it shows both sides were capable of committing atrocities and has blurred lines of which side was properly in the right.
The butchers ball is a great example is this, Cole tried to save his men by surrendering then when it was refused offered a 3 on 1 combat before being shot to death under a peace banner, an actual war crime. All this coming from the side that is more often considered being in the right of it.
It’s a complex and messy story and I’m still so happy they chose it as the first spinoff show. It’s a good one to bounce back from after that catastrophic s7-8
You're not wrong . But it's also fair to point out he bared steel first. Can't really ask for truce after . You can't say the butcher's ball was dishonorable imo
Cole at this point had committed many atrocities, had his own share of war crimes. This wasn't even a war crime, but justice. And the Blacks were in the right of it, since Rhaenryra was the ACTUAL HEIR to the throne. It's not that complex.
I take it this is the part where GRR stated he would make people side with the Greens 😅
He drew his sword at a Parlay... He committed the war crime. They wanted to do battle and he wanted to fight then and there without even giving his men proper warning. The Black's were in the right on this
The problem is Cole drew his sword at a parlay which makes what happened after entirely his own fault
It speaks to the complexity of cole that he did try to save his men
I know right
he tried to save himself. used his people to not make him look scared and selfish.

hes still talked about and everyone who killed him are forgotten
Good video
Went out like a Champion Coley Cole💯🥇
The Winter Wolves marching and singing in cadence in hopefully a Nordic based language to decimate Cole's army will be the best scene in the show.

They won’t write songs about how bravely Cole died, but they can write songs how the greatest fighter in Westeros was in honorably murdered by cowards.

They had massive plot armor in the dance , Aemond roasted the riverlands for months but they seem to somehow not all be ash
@trifurobert1349 absolutely truth.
Aemond with a dragon had burned village after village every other day in Dance of the Dragons and yet these guys were still strong enough to destroy the KING'S ARMY of 5-ish nations.
Yet in Game of Thrones a single Lannister army of 2 nations completely destroy and R-word the Riverlands...
@@julianmarco4185 George doesn't really understand medieval warfare.
Whatever he makes happen in his books is arbitrarily just for plot and not really consistent with what himself establishes beforehand.
Castles are often taken by storm (somehow), scouting works or don't whenever he feels like it matters, Ironborn raids still being a threat to coastlines despite thousands of years of hostilities that would prompt heavy fortification of said coasts, there's not enough "little war" (skirmishing) as it would be expected and when there is it's the riverlords struggling to deal with the moutain and a few hundred men, apparently some people got to war with firehardened pointy sticks as spears and not even a helmet (?), etc. And don't even get me started on army/navy sizes and how fast they mobilize...
A bit pedantic, I admit, but I really think that if he had leaned more into authenticity these limitations and circunstances would not make his stories any worse, enhances it really.
@@luizandrade6900 i can understand that because wars are not like the movies. A raid can take months and oftentimes people are starved to death to give up a castle.
Secondly it is pretty incredible that this world has magic and we never see it in the world of the most educated.
The Riverlands is completely underrated for asymmetrical warfare. Like they know they live in the realm's battleground and make anyone who opposes them pay for each step they take through the Riverlands. I'd love to see Riverlander bowmen and light cavalry expanded upon at some point in time.

If they agree for a duel Cole had no chance. He may have killed Garibald. But the Lionslayer and Roddy was tough. Cole was not familiar with Northern Axe fighting. It will open his stomach.
Roddy the Ruin took out the most experienced knight from old town and Ormund Hightower in a 2 vs 1 while losing his shield arm…. Criston Cole was most certainly not just about to walk through Roddy the Ruin
Did Cole have a chance? Absolutely. He is probably the finest Knight of this era. However, this was not going to be an easy battle for him by any means.@PEDOGAYMONTARGARYEN
@@wayne47able No. He had no chance at all. Roddy the Ruin was there. He'd haver gone down very easily to him. And if he was the finest knight of that era, then that era was very poor.
@@Ares99999 In the books Cole is defined as the greatest Knight of that period. He defeated Daemon twice, he defeated Harwin strong shattering both his elbow and collar bone, He beat Both of the Cargyll twins, Lyman Mallister, and a few others. Cole was a twat no doubt but the man could fight his ass off
Then why did they refuse?
Their decline is similar to Robb decline to duel Jaime. "If we do it your way, you'd win. We're not doing it your way."
They must've known their chance were slim, so they ordered the archers.
Probably one of the dumbest battles of the war on either side. Cole's force is about half the size of the Riverlords and largely made up of Crownlanders; he offers to surrender, which would give the Blacks the opportunity to take a valuable prisoner in Criston Cole and either execute him as a traitor in KL, or try to ransom him. A lot of the Crownlanders in his army had probably already changed sides once, and would have swelled the size of Rhaenyra's forces. Instead they choose to fight an unnecessary battle and incur more casualties for no other reason than their commanders are bloodthirsty.
Then we've got Criston Cole deciding to march from Harrenhal and through the Reach in order to get to Ormund's army, when he could have marched west and sought the aid of the Lannisters, or at least entered the Reach from the north.
This battle actually reminds me of Dracula's campaign against the ottomans, the guerrilla tactics, scorched earth, the amount of brutality and so on. I think this massacre was a message to all the queen's enemies: there will be no mercy for traitors. Fear is a effective tool too. Numbers are not everything.
@@pinkdouche "Numbers are not everything" They are in fact EVERYTHING when you're in a Medieval setting with low population growth and greater susceptibility to disease than present day. You take every man you can, esp. when your Northern allies are sitting at home with their thumbs up their asses. F&B is a clown show from start to finish, and the Dance is the clown car derby to finish the night.
@@pinkdouche This.
It was made very clear just how much the Blacks despised Cole for being a turncoat.
No matter how valuable a prisoner he could have been, Cole was a dead man the moment the Blacks had him.
@@pinkdoucheCole was never going to get any mercy from the blacks, he not only wasn’t deserving of it, he never gave anyone else mercy so why would people extend it to him

i have zero faith the show runners will be able to show us this accurately
I bet you $100 in the show they’ll make it like Cole was trying to get back to Kings Landing to protect Alicent lmfao 😂
Cole had no chance against Lionslayer and Roddy . He would've d*ed regardless. The way i see it, they viewed him as a dishonorable man (he was) so they didn't want to grant him the death of a fighter.
I may be wrong but i think thats the reasoning behind that decision . He was a good fighter but a terrible person who thrived on hatred and murder. He deserved that
Yep, he went out awake killed after denying surrender only to giveit in defeat and trade his life for theirs. He earned shame
Everyone is dishonorable in the war
And each of them gets distasteful death especially rhaenyra
You really underestimate Cole’s combat ability
He defeated daemon with dark sister twice fair and square. This dude may be a terrible person, but there is no doubt about his prowess at the battle. he was a warrior and would have clutched the potential 1v3 , though might not survive from the wounds.
Exactly. He did not get an honorable warriors death as he was unworthy of it and they knew it. He had taken enough life, time for him to go. Unceremoniously
I came here after watching HOT D season 2 episode 2

What season is this expected to happen
I predict season 3 we will see his death
After episode five something is different about Cole in the show version. Cole seems to have no more swagger and the arrogance is gone.
Wouldn’t Cole be dying “bravely” anyway since his sword was in his hand when he died or was it because he died by getting shot instead of in a melee? Like if he got shot in the back while running away or hit before he knew someone was there I would see how that fits.
To think he was so feared they reenactwd the 300 finally
As much he deserves to die, he should have got to fight dameon again
He isn't worthy enough to fight daemon. In the books he sneaks up behind deamon and hits him in the back.

Lannisters are a very powerful house with lots of soldiers and gold
A) you're underestimating how powerful the Hightowers and Lannisters were when put together
B) a LOT of their forces were concentrated around the westerlands and crownlands, while Rhaenyra's were more dispersed
C) they did hold the support of lots of minor houses, both who supported them on their own volition as well as those who followed the big ones
D) they had Vhagar, which made many of the ones close to their points of command wary of antagonizing them, which even if they did not go for the Greens, helped keep them neutral
The Greens had the Lannisters and *all* their houses, the Hightowers and their vassals (said to be as powerful as a great house) + the Baratheons and *all* their houses. It's implied that every Northern vassal house not named was neutral (hence why so many of them specifically are named) and the Riverlands was split. The Iron Islands is poor with low manpower. The greens likely had more houses in actuality although it's not clear but they definitely had the houses with the largest populous in terms of smallfolk, most money and largest armies.
You're forgetting House Baratheon and the Stormlands
Damn they feared Cole even after a grueling march, weak and unprepared. What loosers. So much for the tough noetherners lol.
I have a feeling because the hotd book being from the historian Pov of maester who could be influenced by house hightower since the citadel is in their realm it probably paints green loyalist better than what they were and black in a worse light. at least that's my theory. I think the show is viewed as what actually happened at least that's what grrm has stated at least i remember him saying that but i know he has said the hotd book could be unreliable source since it was written after the war and from 2nd or 3rd hand accounts
@@jcruz8458 yeah but you would think the civil war wouldnt have happened if every participant on the green side would have been the opposite of what the books described them. If everybody is incompetent and relying solely on Aemond and Vhagar the war would have been over in months. Also Cole has been showed to be on par with Daemon and Aemond in melee so in the show it shouldnt be that much different.
Cole was everything but an honourable man, why expect an honourable death?
@@andrewyakovlev9710 i would duel him because of my honor not because of his. How could i live my life as some kind of warhero badass if my only challanging opponent was dispatched by others because i feared him? Yikes
@@mtrunkello they didn't want to give him an honourable death, because he was not an honourable man. They came for his head, not to fight fair and square
I love the north
Where does the beautiful map comes from?
i made it using the official map as a guide, then a mix of Inkarnate and Photoshop, it's an ever growing project that never seems to end. I think it's been updated with more detail since this video and some of the errors fixed.
@@WorldOfWesteros congratulations to you then, it's marvelous! Is it available for download?
Rhaenrya gets what she deserves in the end
Gets what again? They all died only rheynerya son aegon 3 becomes king.
And so ends the Ser Criston Cole the Kingmaker. The books have a much different interpretation of him, hope we get to see his more competent side in Season 2
I've been told that Criston Cole was "the best and the worst of the Kingsguard", said by Jamie in the books. His feats are rather impressive
Overall, it begs the question, if Cole did fight all three of the Lords, I wonder if he would've won 🤔 low-key, there must've been a small part inside of the Lords of the Trident that didn't want to take the chance of Cole winning.
He stood no chance at all, not with Roderick Dustin standing nearby.
No, but that wasn't gonna happen anyway. They let him die a cowards death, no glory or honor. He died much like many others in the battle of the blackwater lol
Jaime also sees no problem in his father brutalizing people for often no reason, Jaime talking good about someone is meaningless
See ya later
Queen Layer!!
😂😂😂😂
Though a lot of people are saying Cole got what he deserved, the Green Lords’ still violate a flag of truce and honorable combat by killing Cole with arrows. Moreover he did try and save his men’s lives.
Aemon one eye at this point was already burning villages and lords castles with Vhagar. Cristin Cole also drew his sword first thus he broke the peace banner.
@@tomflynn54 Ser Criston likely figured out they didn't intend to negotiate, rather to gloat and he chose to die with his boots on, Riverlords already prepared best archers to keep eye on Kingmaker so they were already breaking negotiation norms.
Clearly in their eyes, Cole deserved no quarter or honor
He's not an honorable man . Doesn't exactly deserves to be treated as one . Negotiations were not an option considering what Aemond was doing at that very moment.
@@anarion211983 In your mind, Cole is NEVER in the wrong.
They wasn't man enough to fight Ser Criston one on one 😒
He wouldnt win against Roderick Dustin anyways
Cole is one of the most misunderstood characters in the show atleast...
A man of honour, who lost it due to class differences in Westros and looking for redemption...
Want to see how the show handles his death...
Cole had no honour
