Not really his fault… he just wants to fight someone. He knew he wasn’t a politician. He was born for war. He knew that. He would have been good as just the lord of storms end but as king.. no
Lord Robert !!! I hope the gods have been Kind to you !!! Aemon the Dragon Knight, the dude spent I can’t recall how long in the cage out in Dorne… and STILL had Strength to save his brother who was collapsing as he freed Aemon.. Not only that but when he fought for The honor of Naerys … He was Dragon in his own class
Great vid IDG & HoW. Aemon the Dragonknight certainly one of my and many other people's favorite Targaryens ; readers and in-universe characters alike. Refreshing blend of attributes - honorable , noble, brave , dutiful , chivalrous , incredible warrior and does not come across egotistical or arrogant. To me Aemon is basically the antithesis of his brother Aegon IV / the Unworthy. Anything is possible until given clarity but i personally do not think Aemon and Naerys had this accused affair ; both being quite virtuous , pious and dutiful i just don't think either would fully go there despite the desire & temptation. Coupled with that I obviously do not believe Aemon is Daeron II's father. Personally i think that Aegon IV being such a philanderer and a cruel , petty , corrupt person who was not widely liked or admired. To me he resented what Aemon and Daeron II represented - widely loved & respected, honorable , noble ,competent and moral people ; so that AT4 took it upon himself to try and slander them by imo spreading the false parentage claims. Aemon and Daeron were basically everything that Aegon was not. And as the vid mentioned even so Aemon did not hesitate giving his life saving his brother AT4 , despite the slander and strained relationship. If memory serves even after such an act of valor and the love and respect the masses had for Aemon , AT4 did not properly venerate or mourn Aemon after his death. To me just further clarity that Aegon IV would spread such false rumors given his resentment and agenda against Aemon and Daeron II. Certainly fits AT4's character. Aemon certainly a great Targ in many of our opinions, refreshingly different to a great many of the rest. And given his honor , selflessness and dutiful side def many parallels to Jon ; which likely gives rise to theories that Aemon is actually Jon's given name at birth , though tbd.
*Aemon the Dragonknight.* The fact that he and Daeron the Young Dragon fought side by side in Dorne is a cool tidbit I feel many people don't really think about often. That must've been a helluva tag team Also.... man, he and Naerys really had a terrible life, if only Viserys II had taken more care to govern Aegon, or ask the Small Council to have Aemon as the next in line. Or better yet, cautioned Daeron the Young Dragon a bit more, and ensure he spent more time up in King's Landing. So much that went wrong which led to Aegon IV to become King, and Aemon to end up as a Kingsguard who died in defense of him
He was (imo) one of the most important characters in the histories of Westeros. He was selfless in all things. Not a common quality amongst Targaryens. Keep up the great work.
Aegon the Unworthy had Aemon the Dragon Knight to lead his Kingsquard, Aerys the Mad King had a pretty good Kingsguard as well,,, Seems like the bad kings always had the great Kingsguard
Robert I have to ask: do you do any sort of post processing to your audio like equalization or do you just record and post? Because your voice so smooth I at times wonder if it's wholly natural.
I'm pretty sure Jon and Robb played as Aemon and Daeron when they were kids. The young dragon and wolf dying admist their conquest. While the Aemon's continue on gurading the realm through the kingsguard and nights watch.
Yeah well in real English history there are too many Henries and Edwards, and somehow despite quite a few Edmunds an Edmund never made it to the throne post-Anglo Saxon era.
I found that strange as well. It's one of those royal names, like Arthur, that always seem to be inches from the throne without ever reaching it. Also, the best/worst thing about English history isn't just the number of Henries, Richards, and Edwards, but the fact that several parents would remarry and then have another son with the same name as sons from their first marriage.
Its entirely possible narys and aemon did have a romantic relationship but aemon wasn't daerons father it's likely she kept drinking moon tea to prevent having kids and that could possibly be the reason why she was so sickly and weak as it's known to make you ill after all ,all other members of her family ware healthy so why was she so weak ? .
Or or or. Forty dragon riding families, right? Targaryens far from the most powerful. Their dragons were bred for war....so they have slave ancestry or royal ancestry? Like how were the forty families ranked? Based on wealth? Ancestry? How did they divide the wealth initially? Was their relative weak position in the forty families because they were of slave descent or because they were of noble descent (and other dragon riding families kept them in check?). I WANT MORE
He should have killed his brother before he joined the Kingsguard, would have saved the realm a lot of harm what with all the Blackfyre Rebellions and such
For me so far he's been someone I know is a big deal and has a big impact on history but there are some asoiaf characters I just haven't learned much about or retained much info about them. Another example would be Daemon T. Before I read FAB, he was just some dude who was kind of a jerk and probably mad. Pretty standard stuff for a Targaryen, so what. But when I read FAB I found I understood him and the commentary his character provides. He might be a poor example considering he's prominent in the somewhat popular HOTD tv show but hopefully it makes some sense. Maybe a better example would be someone like Aemon Brightflame. I know the infamous story of how he went nuts and drank wildfire, which I assume resulted in him catching fire and burning to death
Honestly the whole kingsguard being celibate is ridiculous. Why do bodyguards have to be celibate? You don’t see the US secret service or any kind of royal bodyguard unit in the Middle Ages being celibate. It’s a rule that probably most kingsguard break anyway. Between Aemon the dragon knight, Terrance Toyne, Jaime Lannister, Criston Cole and Meryn Trant it’s obvious that it doesn’t stop them from doing it.
Having children means having divided loyalties. To whom should the bodyguard be loyal to; to the king or to his child? Celibacy is a good solution for that.
I feel like part of the issue is modern people, especially Americans with a relatively poor grasp of medieval [roughly European] history, struggle to grasp the power dynamics of marriage etc - particularly dynastic succession...
Yeah, it's almost as if this is a fictional story and adding the celibacy rule increases the opportunity for interesting plots and complicated relationships. It's almost as if the very first kingsguard we meet has an illegal sexual relationship that forms the inciting incident.
"We might even see him on screen someday with his three-headed dragon helm. We can only hope." Oh, yeah. Really looking forward to more of GRRM's work being turned into absolute garbage.
dude give it up! stop with this bs. it's never gonig to be answered. he's not going to finish the book he's been working on for over a decade. he's openly contremptuous of his reader-they are no longer fans, and he's not picking up new readers becasue no one wants to start a series that will never be finished. stop pretending his is a big deal. it's not the new tolkien, it's a lesson in how to f' up a franchise almost as badly as disney does,.

I love all the Aemons we know. I sometimes hope it was Jon's intended name too.
Aemon Snow sounds cool
"The Kingsguard doesn't choose the King"
Ser Criston Cole did not get that memo.
He was never a true king so Robert is correct on this one
@@MacTac141 who wasn't a true king?
A folly, as he learned to his sorrow
@@tarunyadav3567I'm forced to assume they mean Aegon but the wording is such that it sounds like they meant Cole himself was king.

AZIZ with History of Westeros is an amazing writer. Always learning new things about ASOIAF
He thanks them in the description.
I will not take the slander of Bobby B, just because he was a fat womanising alcoholic, doesn't make him as bad as Aegon IV
Not as bad, but a clear parallel
1000% if we are ranking all the kings Robert is probably somewhere in the middle Aegon the IV is bottom if not dead last.
Not really his fault… he just wants to fight someone.
He knew he wasn’t a politician. He was born for war. He knew that. He would have been good as just the lord of storms end but as king.. no
I think it’s more about Robert as a king and not him as a moral person
He's hero a warrior and possibly a Villain for baby Bittersteel.
Oh and mayhaps a father.
Your dad is aegon for certain pal
@bryndenrivers398 Thank you😊
Also booooooo tree monster
Aye Bittersteel, well met, my lord.
@@aegorbittersteel2154 boooo cringe blackfyres
@ThommyofThenn good to see you again hope you are doing Fantastic
Said in Bronn's voice " Did you ever wonder, what if the younger one were King"?
You forgot that Jon says in a game with Rob, I am Amon the dragon knight. Jon is Amon's parallel. Many people theorize that Jon's actual name is Amon.
Aemon
Brother the real spelling is literally in the title of the video
*Aemon

A nice theory I haven't heard before! 👍

@@lawrencereid2767lord commander!!! The ale 🍺🍺🍺is in me
Aemon the Dragonknight, the greatest knight of all.
(Cough) Ser Arthur Dayne (Cough)
Knowing GRRM, when/if Fire and Blood Part II comes out, he will drop more hints that Aemon is Daeron's biological father.
I bet we’ll get blood and fire before winds of winter🤣
@@evanphillips570 At this rate, probably neither.
He is really obsessed with incest, so I wouldn't be surprised if he ruins a great character for his fetishes.

Hi Robert, Off course we know the rest of the intro! Good one 😂
Love the vids, keep up the great work. would be great to see a karstark vid for those who haven't read the books
One of the greatest of all time! 🔥
Thank you Robert!
“Dealt death to Dornishmen in the deep deserts…” Robert cooking!!!
Hi Robert, please can you re-upload the Robert, Rhagar and Lyanna playlist.
Kind Regards,
A fan.
He's re-doing that whole video series with updated graphics and voice recording, so it'll only be better when we do get it back!
Love the intro. Keep up the good work
Fascinating video Robert 😀
Sounds like an entertaining future season of House of the Dragon if they go the anthology route. Make it happen
Aemon and Naerys often reminded me a little bit of Lancelot and Guinevere
Jon Snow's real name in the books.
Aegon the Unworthy had Aemon the Dragon Knight to lead his Kingsquard,
Aerys the Mad King had a pretty good Kingsguard as well,,,
Seems like the bad kings always had the great Kingsguard
Would love a show covering the reign of Aegon IV
Robert I have to ask: do you do any sort of post processing to your audio like equalization or do you just record and post? Because your voice so smooth I at times wonder if it's wholly natural.
Yeah you gotta wonder about his success rate if 4 kings died on his watch.
That 3-headed dragon helmet looks like it'd be heavy up front. 😅
I'm pretty sure Jon and Robb played as Aemon and Daeron when they were kids. The young dragon and wolf dying admist their conquest. While the Aemon's continue on gurading the realm through the kingsguard and nights watch.

The Dragon 🐉 Knight ⚔️ is one of my favorite Targaryens

Good to be here :)
Top notch.
He is daeron the 2nds father.
Hmm I see some parallels b/w these lads and Aegon II/ Aemond One Eye
Any chance you'll get into other series at some point? Cosmere? WoT? Gentleman Bastard? Kingkiller Chronicle?
Just got on my break from getting abused by customers and IDG uploaded ❤
Like if you want to see Robert Rebellion Playlist back!!
I’m surprised there were never two Targ bros who got it on 😮😂
Bro..

“What are you doing, staep-braeo?”
You can say the same for targ girls to all of them are straight mostly.
Wtf, wheres my goddamn intro? 😤😢
I D G !!!!!
The love triangle of Aegon-Naerys-Aemon reminds me of another one: Robert-Cersei-Jaime. There are too many similarities.
Robert never loved Cersie but Lyanna
@@onyedikachukwumiracle robert didnt love Cersei but wanted to have sex with her , like King Aegon with Queen Naerys

The faith of the Seven has some absurd customs and rules in general, sucks to be those nerds
Having children means having divided loyalties. To whom should the bodyguard be loyal to; to the king or to his child? Celibacy is a good solution for that.
It's love or duty not both

Anyone else think that the Targaryen’s were lazy as hell with their naming?? Like total lack of creativity! Maybe that was GRRM’s intention but 🙄🤷🏻♀️
Jesus too many aegon and viserys too confusing
You ever look at an IRL royal family tree? They each seem to choose four male names to use for hundreds of years in a row.
Perhaps you lack the mental capacity to differentiate between them…😂
"We might even see him on screen someday with his three-headed dragon helm. We can only hope."
Oh, yeah. Really looking forward to more of GRRM's work being turned into absolute garbage.
Jaime and Cersei were not Targaryen.
