I love how Jaehaerys was like "Give me a sword, I am gonna lead the army myself". Even sickly and not considered a warrior, he was still the Blood of the Dragon. Badass! To The King! 🍻
@@thatoneblackdude3333 I know! Alot of decent targaryens that could have had great rules were either undermined through death, disease, or not being the elder child.
It almost gives vibes of Baldin IV of Jerusalem, the leper king. Obviously he didn't get to go that far, but those seeds of inspiration do seem present
This war gives me Mexican American War vibes wherein a lot of officers got their battlefield experience, made important staff connections, and raised their public profiles. So when the US Civil War broke out over a decade later, those notable officers were very impactful in the side they chose and what positions they attained in the military
I hope HBO adapts this chapter of westerosi history. I can only see them ending Knight of the seven Kingdoms with the tragedy at summer hall unfortunately
Barristan Selmy fought thousands of Golden Company soldiers and killed Maelys in single combat. Meanwhile, D&D just killed him by a mob with daggers is a huge disgrace to his character.
Yesss The BAND OF NINE!!!! Melys The Monstrous !!!! I have almost no knowledge of this era of the Targaryen Rule so I’m excited for you have uploaded a video on this !! For the Watch & The Lord Commander!!! For my Brothers In black !!! Here here for Brother Bittersteel
Greetings Lord Aegor! In my humble opinion, you must admire the courage of King Jaehaerys since he showed an incredible willingness to lead an army when he was barely able to fight! He may not have done it himself but was still impressive. To The King! 🍻
@@lukebarroso449 greetings again. It's wonderful to see you so much today. I most certainly agree it's extremely impressive that he was ready and willing to lead the army despite his health and against King Maelys Blackfyre no less.
@@aegorbittersteel2154 I completely agree! Maelys is renowned for his ferocity and intense strength, and yet this sickly non-martial man wants to join the fight against him. Truly inspiring. Furthermore it is great to hear from you again always a pleasure to have these conversations my friend.
@gregrobertson5576 Is clearly it had a false dragon bias, or they were just referring to Daemon Blackfyre the 4th. Also, NEVER HOUSE BRACKEN SUPERIOR!!!!! Wonderful to see you again. I hope you are amazing!!!!!!
While the Dance of Dragons can be said to be a crippling blow for House Targaryen the Blackfyre Rebellions were like a slow poison that took several generations to expel and at great cost to the seven kingdoms With the tragedy at Summerhall House Targaryen was in another precarious situation with the death of Aegon V and the impending threat of another Blackfyre Rebellion Several alliances were made and friendships formed that would be tested in the final years of the Targaryen dynasty
Lets be honest here: None of the Blackfyre rebellions were a real threat to the Targaryens, including the first one. They didnt have the numbers, the allies or dragons or even a good cause. The only times the Targaryens rule was in real danger was the war against the Faith, the Dance of the Dragons and Roberts Rebellion. Compared to those three the Balckfyres were nothing more than a headache
Their cause was never a good one, which is pretty much why they never posed much of a threat. There is no skin in the game. The first rebellion against Daeron was absolutely ridiculous. A good King who was fair, good and judicious. All because their terrible father gave his favorite bastard a sword. If Daeron had been an asshole, it would have been more successful. But had Daeron been killed, I still see the lords giving the throne to his heirs and not a Blackfyre. After that, whenever the Blackfyres show up in Westeros again, I imagine the lords bemoaning, "you again?" But there is something undeniably fun about repeated attempts with terrible odds.
Can somebody help me? I'm trying to figure out who is the missing Targaryen boy people keep talking about. I want to say Maelor but it's not from the Dance. It's just there is no record of him at all when he was a child. No death no life no anything besides his birth and I was thinking maybe he is fAegon but I can't remember his name I want to say Rhaegal but idk.

If only he wasn't sickly he could have had a great reign.

HOTD adaptation: Get that sword away from me I have children to beat!

That’s a damn good comparison!!
General Lee
Armstrong
Stonewall Jackson
Aerys II
Tywin Lannister
Bruh you are very well read and so is GRRM. I didnt make the connection immediately but when i saw your comment it became so obvious
After HOTD is over I hope HBO next series is about the Blackfyre Rebellions.
Its gonna be dunk and egg. But maybe after.
If they could pull it off, each season could cover a different Blacfyre Rebellion
Duty is sacrifice. It eclipses all things, even blood. All men of honor must pay its price.
Cregan stark!!!
Barriston Selmy was such a badass. I hate how D&D killed him off in the show.

You mean disrespectful to him!

World of Westeros even said it, Blackfyre pretender. Now swear fealty to House Blackwood. Hope all is well brother.

Is there a link for the map that you use? It’s one of the best I’ve seen
One of my favorites mi lord

I agree the spring sickness did more damage to targ rule than the blackfyres did.
Their cause was never a good one, which is pretty much why they never posed much of a threat. There is no skin in the game.

It will be so cool if hbo do a war of the ninepenny kings series because there so many character we know from game of thrones appear here but young
Is this the one and only time every House in Westeros fought side by side? The closest to that was the Greyjoy Rebellion but of course, the Greyjoys.
Where did you get the map in your videos? I can't find it in your link. Did you make it yourself?
Nine pence none the richer
At last the end of the black dragons. The realm shall know peace! Muhahaha.
Can somebody help me? I'm trying to figure out who is the missing Targaryen boy people keep talking about. I want to say Maelor but it's not from the Dance.

Do you mean Maegor son of Aerion
