  8. So the destruction of the Targaryens began with two of their laws that threw everything into chaos. Nevermind the people who sought a compromise. Rhaenyra (named heir) would not have been able to fight for the throne if her father Viserys1 had stripped her of her titles after he married a second time and had a son with Alicent. This would have prevented a succession war. The second option was the abolishment of the law of "male succession" by decree while he was still alive. This would have ensured Rhaenyra's right to rule. Having fealty sworn by "loyalists" is not a guarantee that they will stay loyal. A lot of things can change after a person dies. Like? Switching loyalties because said parties no longer fear the wrath of the former king that was alive.

  18. Smh I was okay with you not being able to pronounce the names of stuff but don't go off of the new TV series' black targaryens bullshit lol.
    It's a purely made up politically motivated inaccuracy and shouldn't be endorsed because of the ill intent behind it.

  30. Fantastic documentary! It would be a great and wonderful joy if you all made one akin to this for the Star Wars LEGENDS timeline! From the Rakata Infinite Empire to the fall of Darth Krayt's One Sith Empire!

  40. Jacerys,Lucerys and Joffrey were Velaryon snot Targaryens. Worse you painted their hair blonde but they were brunettes. They were supposed bastards of Rhaenyra Sworn shield Ser Harwin Strong. They were Laenor Velaryon true children

  42. Dont ask me why. I was just bored. Hot D comes out a day later in Eastern Europe

    4:51 Norvos, Qohor nor Volantis shouldnt exist at this time. Also Sarnor is not a city.

    6:39 Nymeria didn't travelled to Westeros right away, but I get why you would cut that bc its complicated. A small problem is the animation. The Rhoynar lived near river Rhoyne. These ships sailed into Westeros through the river, not from the western coast of Essos. The area of Rhoynish civilisation is also wrong.

    6:50 I dunno its ever stated the people of Dorne are mostly of Rhoynish ancestry. I would actually say Rhoynish ancestry is much smaller than that of the Andals and the First man in Dorne.

    7:02 the Valyrian freehold never was that big like depicted on the map. The Kingdom of Sarnor was independent and never part of Valyrian influence. Only mention in Canon from this part of history is this: Sarnor remained a trading partner with Valyria. Qarth likewise wasn't a part of Valyria.

    7:38 House Targaryen wasn't the most powerful yes. Yet it was still one of 40 ancient noble houses, so definitely not politically unimportant, minor power or on the periphery.

    18:30 We just dont know that. Part of this battle here is made up not canon.

    22:00 We only know the location of Aegons footmen.

    22:55 Any mention of archers in canon I fear. I wouldnt mind that much but You also got the one fact that is known about this battle wrong. The left and right under Oakhearth and Lannister actually didn't charged right in. The plan was that only the center under king Gardener would charge. The left and right tried to swing and attack from behind but they probably didn't make it in time.

    24:29 Sharra Arryn was no king. She is a woman and the king was her son Ronnel. She was just regent.

    25:00 The Red keep was finished by king Maegor the cruel, long way after Aegons death.

    25:45 Tower of Joy propably wasn't standing yet. And if it was, it got its name from Rhaegar Targaryen like 300 years after conquest.

    27:00 Like you mixed two kings, Aenys and Maegor into one I guess. Maegor was the one that defeated the faith militants.

    30:20 the council was made up from green supporters except for Lyman Beesbury, so they were not deeply torn. Likewise we don't know if Criston Cole killed him.

    32:50 Nope Luk is not Aemonds cousin but nephew. I mean you have the family tree right there. And why does Daeron have such a magnificent beard. He died when he was like fresh 16. Gosh the boy drunk some milk🥛.

    33:18 Her sons were not Targaryens but Velaryons. They are sons of Laenor Velaryon.

    33:28 Rhaenys isnt a sister of Viserys. Rhaenys is a daughter of Aemon and Viserys is a son of Baelon.

    33:55 Is this true? Aegon did not have a majority of noble houses supporting him. It was the opposite I would say. Aegon from the start had like only Lannisters, Hightowers and what… Brackens? Vances of Atranta? Does it sound like a majority?

    36:39 The Riverlords didn't join bc Harrenhal was conquered. They joined bc they remembered their oaths of loyalty towards Rhaenyra. They just used Harrenhal as their base, but it was not the reason for them joining. Also, the Tullys stayed neutral in this period and for quite some time, but the map shows them black already. Also, most of the Crownlands joined Rhaenyra. Basically Aegon had just Kings Landing.

    39:19 Did you just said Triosh instead of Tyrosh? And why is there a black dragon atop Sunspear? The Dorne was neutral for the entire war.

    42:00 These people were just from Dragonstone and Driftmark, bc of their Valyrian blood due to the Targaryens practicing the custom of first night. So the animation of them appearing from all of Westeros is wrong.

    44:10 The map is wrong. The Triarchy split their fleet in half. The southern attack pushed as far as Driftmark and they raided the island. So the battle happened on and near the island of Driftmark. When there is not enough material for a battle you add non canon things. When there is a pretty detailed battle description, you ignore it.

    45:00 Wrong. Tom and Rowan were in the same army and they were going from the north. The another army coming from the south was under Tarly, Beesbury and Costayne.
    Uff… Also prince Daeron did not came from Kings Landing. He was in Oldtown as a squire for Lord Hightower for many years.

    46:10 these battles were not triumphs for the Lannisters. At the Red fork they were defeated on third occasions by lord Vance before finally breaching the defenses. They also lost their lord/general. Victory sure, but triumph?

    46:40 Roddy Dustin was just a lord, why call him a warlord?

    48:30 lol Dalton Greyjoy joined the blacks and raided green territory in the Westerlands. So why is the map showing him raiding black territories in the Riverlands? 😅

    52:15 ehmm… no. Nettles wasn't even in KL with Addam she was with Daemon in Maidenpool hunting for Aemond. They didn't escaped together. So why call them a pair?

    55:40 Ambushed by Addam with a large Riverlord army yet they are never mentioned. Also Ulf the White didn't die in the battle. He was drunk during it. He was then killed later by the greens themselves.

    57:10 the army of blacks arrived from the north from kingsroad, not from the west. Also only Riverlords defeated the Baratheon host. Cregan Stark was days behind them.

    1:02:40 So you said he was crowned in the Red keep but the video is showing Dragonstone.

    1:04:03 You showed Dorne on the map joining the Seven kingdoms. Why is like half of the Reach including Oldtown and the Arbor also joining now. They were part of it from the beginning. Or did your map maker thought this is also part of Dorne?

    1:05:25
    Aegor "Bittersweet"? 🤣 That one broke me btw. Also Quentyn Ball wasn't Aegons bastard I think.

    Please all spam 🤓 under this comment. Bye gonna watch the bloody show now I think it aired finally…
