    I didn’t think about it before, but having the Targaryen dynasty formed just 300 years ago was brilliant. It allowed Martin to flesh out the whole dynasty and detail out every king, with many of them having ripple effects in the present story, something he never could have done with a dynasty thousands of years old.

      What a stupid comment. Youre ignoring the fact that no matter how old the royal family or ruling power is the people/commoners and world change every generation. It would have been just as easy to establish an interesting dynasty if Westeros were conquered sooner, later, or if the Targaryens had been the royal line for another century, millenia or whatever.

      The first book "A Game of Thrones" started after the Targaryens were overthrown, with no dragons alive, and finished with the three dragon eggs hatching. As a result, when GRRM later wrote his book about the reigns of the Targaryens, he was writing a prequel, and he thus was constrained as to where the storyline had to lead, and thus GRRM had to kill off all the dragons (except perhaps Morning, who disappeared along with its rider, perhaps to somewhere oversea).

Season 7-8 is reign of King Aegon IV the Unworthy and start of the Blackfyre rebellions.

    *Aegon I "The Conqueror"* : Badass, genius, ambitious and player. The Pioneer of the Targaryen Dynasty.
    *Aenys I* :A bit of a dissapointment compared to his father. He tried his best, but he really needed to grow a back bone.
    *Maegor "The Cruel"* Incredible warrior, "terrible king". He had an emo ending.
    *Jahearys I "The Conciliador"* : Best King Westeros ever had. An badass warrior, a good husband and a father who suffered a lot.
    *Viserys I* : Pretty good ruler. Terrible for picking wives. Very depressing how his wishes were not respected.
    *Aegon II* : A usurper who rejected his father's wishes, started a war and murdered his sister in front of her child (like c'mon man). Honestly a dissapointment for Lord Cregan Stark and many others that they poisoned him (the Gods know how convenient and better it would've been for many had the court acted liked that during Joffrey's rule. Also the only time I would've loved to see a Sack of King's Landing with Lord Cregan Stark and the full mightvof the North in all their glory. Instead the Sack of KL we got was from Tywin and ended with people who didn't deserve it paying for the sins of others.)
    *Queen Rhaynera Targaryen* :The true heir at the time. She would've done a nice job (she wasn't any Jahearys but still not a bad ruler).
    *Aegon III "The Broken-Dragonsbane"* : A pretty tragic beginning but a great rise to power.
    *Daeron I "The Young Dragon"* : A short lived reign but a very remarkable king.
    *Baelor I "The Blessed"* : Bit of a religious nut case but not that bad.
    *Viserys II* : The definition of "He was this close to greatness."
    *Aegon IV "The Unworthy* : The worst king ever seen. Even Joffrey wasn't that bad. He only worsen and made everything terrible for everyone even after death. Had the accident not happened, he might've improved the antecedents that led to the tragedies that followed.
    *Daeron II "The Good"* : A pretty good ruler. Had the rumor of his uncle and mother been trurh, I would've still follow him.
    *Aerys I* : Not a bad king but also not the best.
    *Maekar I* : A pretty decent ruler all things considered
    *Aegon V "The Unlikely"* : A king who understood the people, an adventurer and had some pretty disrespectful children
    *Jahearys II* : He's ok.
    *Aerys II "The Mad King"* : A joke and a monster who brought down and pissed on the kingdom that his ancestors fought, suffered and died for.
    *Daenerys "Stormborn" (titles, titles....) Targaryen I* : Let's hope for the best.

    But seriously that's really messed up what happened to Aerea, though in the often harsh and freaky world of Planatos it's sadly no surprise. The poor girl, only 12 years old thought it a good idea to try and run away from home with virtually no planning, no preparation, and only lofty but naive dreams in her heart, and a 'stolen' magical dragon for a steed. Unfortunately no amount of Belerion The Black's dragon fire it seems shielded her from every peril she faced. Even with a great mystical beast like Belerion, no matter how big and terrible he was could've prepared Aerea for all of the dark realities of the world beyond her royal, privileged life, however boring and unfulfilling said living may have been for her. Still that tragic tale of horror really got to me, like even without an actual picture your description was graphic enough for my imagination to unfortunately fill in the grizzly details.

    The War of the Roses (the English civil war for the throne) was the inspiration for the War of Five Kings in ASOIAF. While this fun fact is very well known in the fandom, I’ve found a lot of parallels between the early stages of the War of the Roses. For example, when King Henry V, a great military leader who had succeeded in “conquering” France, abruptly died leaving his 9 month old son Henry VI the first and only King of England AND France…he grew into an inept and incompetent king who lost all of the French territory and ultimately the dynastic dispute between the cadet branches of the royal family.
    These events are clear inspirations for the Dance as well as the first Blackfyre rebellion, amongst other events concerning the turbulent times of the Targaryen dynasty.
    In feudal Europe, the royal families were often overthrown by their rivals the moment a great king was proceeded by a weak son, who was sacked in favor of a more powerful family/cadet claimant. So the length of 300 years is really quite impressive considering they ruled 8-9 kingdoms spanning an entire continent lol.

    The work put into these videos always amaze me. Really comprehensive and understandable. Just a little note **Baelor Breakspear has black dornish hair** I always thought it was a shame there is no king with non-obviously-notorious targaryen features when there two heirs that didn't have these.

    Love that this video doesn't conclude what happened with Daenerys and Aegon VI (Jon). Still hoping for some redemption from the book.

      Jon would not be aegon 6th because rhagar already had a son with that name so it's illogical for him to name Jon that and it's more likely dany would be the ruling monarch not Jon so he'd just be king consort not king regent so he wouldn't get the number added to his name .

      @@thatoneblackdude3333 only living son of the last rightful heir? Lianna called Jon Aegon and Rhaegar’s last son called Aegon died? Can’t have a number after your name unless you’re coronated or whatever they do in Martin’s work. Pretty sure this is a pointless conversation though chief.

      @@chiliconnorcarne what I meNt was it doesn't make since for Jon's targaryen name be aegon because Rhaegar already had a son named aegon that's why faegon is a thing in the books if Jon has a real targaryen name it wouldn't be aegon tho it's likely he won't have one at all , the number is for the ruling monarch in this case Jon would only get the number if he was the one sitting the throne but if it's dany he'd just be king consort he wouldn't get a number is what I was saying.

    Vhagar was hatched 50 years before the conquest. He wasn’t recently hatched but that’s a small issue. Great video over all 10/10 would recommend
