In the first book, Daenerys actually asks all of her Kas to be blood of her blood and be her blood riders. They all refuse until she walks out from the flames with the dragons, and all three of them swear to be blood of her blood and thus become her Queens guard.
Yeah, wasn't he among the ones who objected to Clegane's appointment to the Baratheon Kingsguard? In his mind the Queensguard should be worthy knights, not pit fighters.
I agree with you, to Barristan the Queensguard of Daenerys is not a proper Queensguard, Three of them were part of her khas and now her bloodriders, Strong Belwas is tecnically just a bodyguard , non of this four are knights and made the proper knightly oath, The only one other than Barristan that could be consider a Queensguard was Jorah who was breaking his oath while been a spy for the enemies of her Queen So to him he is the only True Queensguard of Daenerys
I don't think it was a mistake. Think barristan just means she doesn't have knights in her kings guard just dotgrakis and pit fighter. Not proper kings guard knights
What you said about the Khas isn’t true at all, they aren’t just “killers.” They are her blood riders, they fight for her and protect her with their lives. If she dies, they avenge her death, then they kill themselves because their job is done. I would argue that a blood rider is a stronger bond than a Kingsguard. If you are named as a Bloodrider in Dothraki culture, you are not supposed to outlive your Khal or Khaleesi in this instance. They are not just killers, they are probably the most loyal and serious when it comes to protecting the “blood of their blood”. The only real difference is that in the Seven Kingdoms the King can be a craven or a weak boy and needs protecting, whereas in Dothraki culture the Khal, is the best warrior in the whole Khalasar and doesn’t really need protection. However, in the show and books, it’s shown that they understand that Dany is not Khal Drogo and do protect her. Whenever someone goes to hand her something, they take it first, they’re always by her side, and they even cross the red waste for her. They aren’t just killers and I’m not trying to sound like an ass, but it completely diminishes the role of a bloodrider. It’s one of the most powerful and honorable “roles” you can have in the books and it’s held by “the savages”. How many Kingsguard have betrayed their King in the history, I guarantee a ton more than a Khal’s blood riders. That bond goes beyond saying an oath before gods and men, it is their whole way of life and they don’t understand anything else than fighting and dying for the blood of their blood.
They turned their backs on her when she gave them great gifts. They only follow her now because of the dragons. If they disappeared, so would the blood riders. They aren't loyal to her. The "loyalty" they have is they look bad if someone they swore to protect gets hurt or killed. They enjoy killing vs enjoy serving and protecting Dany.
orphanedhanyou they didn’t turn their backs, they accepted the gifts but didn’t think a woman could lead a khalasar. When she displayed to them how powerful she was they agreed to be her blood riders, blood riders aren’t like other Dothraki. If you are named as “blood of my blood” the rest of the Khalasar can go to other khals that they see fit, but a bond between a blood rider and their Khal is for life. It is an accepted title, you can’t name someone a blood rider if they do not choose to be. She named them bloodriders, they didn’t accept the title, but accepted the gifts (because Dothraki see nothing wrong with that), then when she hatched her dragons and walked from the funeral pyre, they became her blood riders. Now, they are bonded to her for life. Every other Dothraki is free to turn their back on her whenever they see fit, but not those three. They are bonded by blood for life. There’s a similar tradition in real life (not by fighting to the death or anything) but in a small country called Tuvalu. They are able to name their closest friends a specific title and if their friend accepts they legally become a part of their family and are now bonded together. You and your future kids are all raised together and they become your brother or sister.
I'm a new member of the subscribers guard, I've been watching the s*** out of your videos for the past a week or so they're all awesome and informative
I just finished rewatching Game of Thrones and was really disappointed with the ending, but I didn't want to read the books. (Mainly because I had read an excerpt that was particularly nasty and I wasn't too thrilled with the entirety of the books being the same way.) However, I was still interested in learning more about the books and came upon your videos. They were so thorough and detailed that I decided to read the books anyway. I'm about 114 pages into A Game of Thrones and I absolutely love it. Thank you for essentially convincing me to read it!
@@Brandonhayhew ahh I think I've heard that blue is a/the power colour of khal drogos khalasar and she has some dragon scale embroidery on it so it could be a harken back to the respect she gained from dothraki culture though the cut/shape of the dress is quite similar to the ones she's been given in qarth, so I like how she picks up elements from certain things into her hair and clothing 😸💕
jamesrei many of us easily noticed her hair changes often to symbolize her conquest and success. But the clothes does more then show her respect to dothraki culture but also does foreshadowing her future events
Queen Rhaenyra had queen’s guards and so does dany but what about other people who formed their own guards comprised of knights. Edit: there was one of dany ancestor like viserys the second his wife who he met and married young in lys. Lady Larra Rogare, she had her own bodyguard was like Belwas.
Interesting to think about. What about Robert "sweetrobin" Arryn, he has his brotherhood of winged Knights. I think that's an interesting plot for the winds of winter, as it's clearly a Littlefinger ploy for hostages and making skilled fighters loyal to his rule. Then you also have renly and his rainbow guard. However, it's interesting to see that as a stark contrast Stannis doesn't seem to have a kings guard. I wonder why that is though, is it because of Melisandre and her red god? Another interesting one is Jonquil Darke, the Scarlet Shadow, Good Queen Alysanne's sworn shield. She fought as a mystery knight in 'The War for the White Cloaks', the contest to help King Jaehaerys choose his Kings guard Knights. Whilst not a true Queensguard I still think she's an interesting character who was supposed to be the queen's guard (who could go places men of the kingsguard couldn't). They're all the ones I can think of. Another video talking about all of these various people could be cool 😁
Chelsea Hardy we can read these interesting colorful characters and sketch detailed in many ways. Can there be someday a comic book full adaptation of fire and blood, it be sweet to see the secret siege and the queen who never was who died like a badass and see her father the former prince aemon. Baelons sons who are important and badass ultimate Targaryen prince daemon. Imagine his own comic books and animated series of the rogue prince and his wars in stepstones. His life with lady velaryon
@@Brandonhayhew Yes! Wouldn't that be sweeeeeet!? I really liked the world of ice and fire, there were so many gorgeous pictures in there. But, maybe even a graphic novel surrounding the dance would be good, there's so much added content in fire and blood. I've been reading it again, and just got up to the part where Princess Aerea comes back to the red keep after missing for a year or so, and that whole scene with the unspeakable horrors crawling inside of her was so gruesome... But still, that would be an intense scene to see in graphic novel form. Just the way Septon Barth describes the things... What on earth is going on in Valyria? It's little details like that which keep me reading again and again. Sometimes it's easy to forget that these royals and characters aren't real people lol it's so disappointing to have fire and blood end where it does though... I wish we could have more. But I guess there would have to be spoilers about things like Summerhall, and who knows what else. Oh well, I'll just have to be patient I guess lol 😜
I’ve been playing the ASoIaF miniature game and painting a lot of models for the Targaryen faction and who I have in Daenerys’ Queensguard so far is Jorah Mormont, Barristan Selmy, Grey Worm, and Daario Naharis.
Hmm I always read that part that bariston was saying that her queensguard were not proper as a knight and a warrior. A bunch of ruffians, rather than a proper soldier.

Barristan only came clean about who he was once Dany told Mormont that she wanted him to be knighted and Barristan told her who he was and how he would only accept a longsword from her.
Come on George... we NEED TWoW!! I've been sad again lately, wishing that GoT had ended well so that I would want to watch it again. Only the books can cure this.
Belwas is truly the only character of his type in the whole series of books. I mean, we DO get a Mormont madam out there somewhere, sent to find Howland Reed, if I recall correctly, and she's meant to be something of a She Bear who fights more like a stereotypical fantasy 'Barbarian' draped in her furs with her spiked cudgel, and her simple straightforward peasant manner and way of talking kind of parallels too... but she's MIA as of right now, and we got now closure on her in the Show either. There's characters which might at a cursory glance have these elements too, like Bron, or maybe Areo Hotah, and certainly the Hill Tribes might fit... but Bron is so much more, and in many ways so much less than Belwas, Hotah is mono-dimensional compared to Belwas, and the Hill Tribes do not really do much eventually, no? Some of the Dothraki are about and they too kind of fit, but they are also really just bit characters never truly fleshed out that much. Thus the really the only character of the kind that is Belwas, IS BELWAS. He CANNOT die too soon, if he dies in the next book anywhere close to the time we last see him, because he is weakened or some BS cop out like that, I'll be done with the series, even after being a fan since day jot, what, almost 25 years ago. Now, as for Garland Tyrell, I think it would be an absolute waste for that to be his arc. I noticed something in the stories of Westeros and the world of A Song Of Ice And Fire..... the BIGGEST changes made to Westeros, or even to Essos.... who knows about further East... often happen with a convergence of skills in specific special individuals. These individuals either succeed, or fail, and it has massive impact, and changes history and nature of society for long times to come. This is NOT always the case... but seems to be very much a thread one notices. That is that when powerful men are powerful in ALL the ways that matter... they change things. What do I mean? I mean men are powerful in three main ways in Westeros.... they are powerful through birth and wealth, title, and name and the charisma or will to wield it.... being powerful in knowledge and politics because of it, to defeat their enemies and feather their nests, ultimately seeking some absolute secure legacy.... OR... they are more long term wielders of power... they are great commanders, and Statesmen, they keep old arcana, remember prophecy and the esoteric lore of their world and us that usually militarily to command men, move armies, pressure for treaties, threaten for concession, and defeat anyone who would challenge their side.. even if they are not rulers of it, through winning the War, usually literal, even if they lose some battles, Machiavellian OR literal.......OR they are forces of nature in battle, literal battle, great Warriors, great Heroes, or Villains, the stuff of legends, named in Saga and Song, becoming invaluable to either aforementioned man, and through them, becoming extremely powerful. So, War Lords, Princes and Berserkers all find their way to power more than bean counters and bureaucratically minded, the Maester or the Merchant, the Pious and Philanthropic.... they rise... but only to the boots of the aforementioned.. it is the way of the World in this fictional universe. Yet, really, there are actually a great many of those men. Who are group one? Well, Varus, or Tyrion, or Baratheon the younger, and the middle type? Ned Stark? I think so. There's a couple of Hightowers who've been like that iirc, Old Mormont too maybe? Of course we then have group three... Jaime Lannister..... Brienne of Tarth.... Bron of.... well you wouldnt know him..... maybe Dario.... But there's a fourth group. Men who are all three of those things. They are RARE, but they always play a pivotal role, one way or another, through their success or failure. Men who are of the highest nobility, in spirit if not in title, at the least, the soundest education, even if atypical, wealthy because of this, connected by it, and aware enough of all that comes with the 'Game' to survive it..... but also men who are the ultimate Duc's, the ultimate Field Marshals, the schooled in geo-politics by this as much geography of battle grounds, men who speak, and induce submission to, their authority even if not recognised to have any, who think in terms of Wars nor battles, borders not fiefdoms, enemies to watch, not friends to make..... yet despite being both these, also men who can kill with a flick of the wrist, against supposedly better men, without flinching, break not a sweat, and can lead the charge in to the fires of battle, or the breach, and walk out again cleansed by the blood of their enemies. THESE fellas are RARE. Who do we have we might be able to make a case for being the fourth level of powerful man in Westeros? I think the case can be made for Oberyn Martell.... and despite what he seems like to his peers and kin, except Asha who seems to have the measure of his true abilities... Victarion Greyjoy is probably another... most people feel the power behind the Mace Tyrell that keeps him in power, is Randyll Tarly, who might also fit the bill.... and I think Stannis Baratheon, in his own cold weird way is such a man too, possibly, maybe, we could perhaps add Baristan himself to that poole... AND.. I SAY that Garland Tyrell is another of these... well.... not yet... but is aspiring to be one... one in the making. He is almost as good a fighter as Loras, we're told... but he does not joust as much, and when he does he prefers the team melee as it is more accurate a simulation of battle. He surrounds himself with his men, and drills them, more interested in arts of War, than arts martial, despite being a master martial artist, but he is ALSO a keen student of, and loyal subservient vassal brother to WILLAS... and Willas, being lame, of course, has developed much keener skills in other areas, I guess one might say more of a "Gamer' in the ASOIAF context, under whom Garland keenly studies. This conflagration of forming forces that shape men of power, working upon him, seem to be a recipe to make men like the last group. Not to say this will happen... but it does seem very important and deliberate such men exist in the world of the books. When they crop up, they all play massive impactful roles that shape events. Killing one off to replace him with another, just so Garland can slot in nicely somewhere, however, would be a hell of a waste.... almost seem like George R.R. Martin was doing Selmy so wrong, just like the show. Now Garland could not become such a man, and become just another Queensguard... OR.... he COULD become such a man... if he does NOT.... but if Selmy dont kick it, to make way for such placement... then I reckon Danny would be even more OP than Dragons, Selmy, Belwas and Tyrion make her. Because of that, I am hoping for some other interesting, but less critical... at first... these guys always play a major role eventually, remember.... for Garland. Though now I've said, he's probably going to die. :P :P
Hey bro keep uo the good work i love hearing about the past because ive only seen the show. Would kove to hear more of the history. Wjos your favorite character?
With all these videos I really really really should read the books, an exception is I'm reading The Hedge Knight (Dunk & Egg series) because I know the real story is there (unlike the tv series) but i'm hesitant because this series GOT is not finished, but I have started Dune and I'm really enjoying it so far and in my opinion it just proves the reality and TRUTH as in the real source material is the GOAT and makes everything better not adapted versions!! Also Harry Potter, Percy Jackson is in my list to.
It's because the xenophobic old man would only acknowledge them as part of her queensguard as if they were actual Knights like him. But then again it's like who wouldn't prefer Dothraki bloodriders over knights.
@@theironduke2799 Dayne was truly One in a Million and if he actually did die in the same way in the books as in the show I'm going to be disappointed stabbed through the throat by the mysterious Howland Reed and then killed with his own sword by the allegedly honorable Ned Stark

Barristan is most likely going to turn clock on DaNY and join Aegon especially since he doesn't respect Dany. Proof that he doesn't respect her is that he constantly compares her to her brother who he practically worships but as the series goes on we learned that Rhaegar is the antithesis of a great ruler rather than the template of a great ruler
@@dragospinx1440 I had my own A Song of Ice and Fire fanfiction I was working on but then season 8 disgusted me so much I can't even bring myself to finish it

Garlan Tyrell is ineligible to join the Kingsguard. He has a wife, kids, and I’m pretty sure is now the lord of Brightwater Keep. Also the Tyrells are 100% joining Aegon’s cause.

@@paulwilliams1731 Haha, read them twice. Did you watch this video? Watch it again and listen to the part where she makes him the first of her Queensguard 👍🏻
Strong Belwas is a really cool badass, character, but unfortunately 1. Black character who is submissive to a white character. 2. Talks in broken English. 3. Childlike personality. 4. Obsessed with fighting and food. Which was probably a lot more bagage than you can get away with on mainstream television which I guess is why he got cut in the show.
You should stop trying to fit racism in this. Everyone in Essos/Dorne have a darker shade of skin. Though there are parts where the people do not have Dark skin shades but we haven't been to that place. It's a medieval slave location why would it have white colored slaves when white colored slaves rarely exist ? They live in Essos so why would they know Westeroi ?

I mean, we DO get a Mormont madam out there somewhere, sent to find Howland Reed, if I recall correctly, and she's meant to be something of a She Bear who fights more like a stereotypical fantasy 'Barbarian' draped in her furs with her spiked cudgel, and her simple straightforward peasant manner and way of talking kind of parallels too... but she's MIA as of right now, and we got now closure on her in the Show either.
There's characters which might at a cursory glance have these elements too, like Bron, or maybe Areo Hotah, and certainly the Hill Tribes might fit... but Bron is so much more, and in many ways so much less than Belwas, Hotah is mono-dimensional compared to Belwas, and the Hill Tribes do not really do much eventually, no? Some of the Dothraki are about and they too kind of fit, but they are also really just bit characters never truly fleshed out that much.
Thus the really the only character of the kind that is Belwas, IS BELWAS.
He CANNOT die too soon, if he dies in the next book anywhere close to the time we last see him, because he is weakened or some BS cop out like that, I'll be done with the series, even after being a fan since day jot, what, almost 25 years ago.
Now, as for Garland Tyrell, I think it would be an absolute waste for that to be his arc.
I noticed something in the stories of Westeros and the world of A Song Of Ice And Fire..... the BIGGEST changes made to Westeros, or even to Essos.... who knows about further East... often happen with a convergence of skills in specific special individuals. These individuals either succeed, or fail, and it has massive impact, and changes history and nature of society for long times to come.
This is NOT always the case... but seems to be very much a thread one notices.
That is that when powerful men are powerful in ALL the ways that matter... they change things.
What do I mean? I mean men are powerful in three main ways in Westeros.... they are powerful through birth and wealth, title, and name and the charisma or will to wield it.... being powerful in knowledge and politics because of it, to defeat their enemies and feather their nests, ultimately seeking some absolute secure legacy.... OR... they are more long term wielders of power... they are great commanders, and Statesmen, they keep old arcana, remember prophecy and the esoteric lore of their world and us that usually militarily to command men, move armies, pressure for treaties, threaten for concession, and defeat anyone who would challenge their side.. even if they are not rulers of it, through winning the War, usually literal, even if they lose some battles, Machiavellian OR literal.......OR they are forces of nature in battle, literal battle, great Warriors, great Heroes, or Villains, the stuff of legends, named in Saga and Song, becoming invaluable to either aforementioned man, and through them, becoming extremely powerful.
So, War Lords, Princes and Berserkers all find their way to power more than bean counters and bureaucratically minded, the Maester or the Merchant, the Pious and Philanthropic.... they rise... but only to the boots of the aforementioned.. it is the way of the World in this fictional universe.
Yet, really, there are actually a great many of those men. Who are group one? Well, Varus, or Tyrion, or Baratheon the younger, and the middle type? Ned Stark? I think so. There's a couple of Hightowers who've been like that iirc, Old Mormont too maybe? Of course we then have group three... Jaime Lannister..... Brienne of Tarth.... Bron of.... well you wouldnt know him..... maybe Dario....
But there's a fourth group.
Men who are all three of those things.
They are RARE, but they always play a pivotal role, one way or another, through their success or failure.
Men who are of the highest nobility, in spirit if not in title, at the least, the soundest education, even if atypical, wealthy because of this, connected by it, and aware enough of all that comes with the 'Game' to survive it..... but also men who are the ultimate Duc's, the ultimate Field Marshals, the schooled in geo-politics by this as much geography of battle grounds, men who speak, and induce submission to, their authority even if not recognised to have any, who think in terms of Wars nor battles, borders not fiefdoms, enemies to watch, not friends to make..... yet despite being both these, also men who can kill with a flick of the wrist, against supposedly better men, without flinching, break not a sweat, and can lead the charge in to the fires of battle, or the breach, and walk out again cleansed by the blood of their enemies.
THESE fellas are RARE.
Who do we have we might be able to make a case for being the fourth level of powerful man in Westeros? I think the case can be made for Oberyn Martell.... and despite what he seems like to his peers and kin, except Asha who seems to have the measure of his true abilities... Victarion Greyjoy is probably another... most people feel the power behind the Mace Tyrell that keeps him in power, is Randyll Tarly, who might also fit the bill.... and I think Stannis Baratheon, in his own cold weird way is such a man too, possibly, maybe, we could perhaps add Baristan himself to that poole... AND.. I SAY that Garland Tyrell is another of these... well.... not yet... but is aspiring to be one... one in the making.
He is almost as good a fighter as Loras, we're told... but he does not joust as much, and when he does he prefers the team melee as it is more accurate a simulation of battle. He surrounds himself with his men, and drills them, more interested in arts of War, than arts martial, despite being a master martial artist, but he is ALSO a keen student of, and loyal subservient vassal brother to WILLAS... and Willas, being lame, of course, has developed much keener skills in other areas, I guess one might say more of a "Gamer' in the ASOIAF context, under whom Garland keenly studies.
This conflagration of forming forces that shape men of power, working upon him, seem to be a recipe to make men like the last group.
Not to say this will happen... but it does seem very important and deliberate such men exist in the world of the books. When they crop up, they all play massive impactful roles that shape events.
Killing one off to replace him with another, just so Garland can slot in nicely somewhere, however, would be a hell of a waste.... almost seem like George R.R. Martin was doing Selmy so wrong, just like the show. Now Garland could not become such a man, and become just another Queensguard... OR.... he COULD become such a man... if he does NOT.... but if Selmy dont kick it, to make way for such placement... then I reckon Danny would be even more OP than Dragons, Selmy, Belwas and Tyrion make her.
Because of that, I am hoping for some other interesting, but less critical... at first... these guys always play a major role eventually, remember.... for Garland. Though now I've said, he's probably going to die. :P :P
Yeah, what he said
Your vids are so nice to listen to
Hey bro keep uo the good work i love hearing about the past because ive only seen the show. Would kove to hear more of the history. Wjos your favorite character?
Do yourself a favor & read the books!
With all these videos I really really really should read the books, an exception is I'm reading The Hedge Knight (Dunk & Egg series) because I know the real story is there (unlike the tv series) but i'm hesitant because this series GOT is not finished, but I have started Dune and I'm really enjoying it so far and in my opinion it just proves the reality and TRUTH as in the real source material is the GOAT and makes everything better not adapted versions!! Also Harry Potter, Percy Jackson is in my list to.
Can you make a video for the other dragon families in vallyria?
Im pretty sure Archibald Yronwood will be added to her queens guard assuming he survives
Great video! 🤙🏾
Came before notification 😂😂😂
It's because the xenophobic old man would only acknowledge them as part of her queensguard as if they were actual Knights like him. But then again it's like who wouldn't prefer Dothraki bloodriders over knights.
Most decent knights would tear a dothraki apart, i mean, Selmy, Dayne ect
@@theironduke2799 Dayne was truly One in a Million and if he actually did die in the same way in the books as in the show I'm going to be disappointed stabbed through the throat by the mysterious Howland Reed and then killed with his own sword by the allegedly honorable Ned Stark
@@madambutterfly1997 people started to love the show because it was ruthless and didn't care what you wanted. Ironic that it spawned people like you. Write your own book and you can do what you want!
Watch the video in case you somehow already forgot that Jorah kicked the top bloodriders ass.
@@Gnossiene369 I'm already writing a fanfiction that I can't even bring myself to finish because fucking season 8 killed me. Because of Dumb and Dumber's incessant need to have shock factor in everything they do they completely scrapped the Lyanna Targaryen ending.
Ser Garlan is married and owns a castle so it is very unlikely he would join the Queensguard as of now. That could change of course, but still...
If I'm not wrong in the dance of dragons barristan knights a few of the orphans he's been training? Apparently Tumco is as talented as Jaime was with the sword, which makes me Hella excited to see what GRRM does with that character.
I always wondered why Robb didn’t have a kings guard
Robb didn't had a hand of king as well I guess
Think they were busy trying to win the war, while named king he wasn't yet back in the North ruling.
I'd like to know all the families that are related to House Stark.
Who cares about the Starks, honestly?
@@ibrahimmustafa2481 Pretty much everyone, their story hooks the reader into the series.
I see Fantano and Ridge got you too my bro
Robb also had a sort of Kingsgaurd too. Lucas Blackwood, Dacey Mormont, Wendel Manderly, Robin Flint, and some others.
I don’t care if they are knights or not , most important is their loyalty and fighting skills.
8:03 Death flag. Noooo
Please make a video about Ser Barristan Selmy.
He didn't view it as a kings guard because it wasn't made of knights.
This a banger
09:37 something else Taco Bell
These videos are fantastic. Saving interest in the GoT story after that abomination of a finish to the television series.
And why trust Barristan? Mister I didn't realize how bad I fucked up until Joffrey fired me
What about Daario Naharis?
He's not a member of her queens guard, Dany struggles to trust him and sends him away more often than not, as a leader of the Second Sons.
@@paulwilliams1731 good point
he in her council though
@@tuantrananh4015 not necessarily. He comes and goes, offering his opinion, but she's too weary of him to keep his voice in her council.
Barristan is most likely going to turn clock on DaNY and join Aegon especially since he doesn't respect Dany. Proof that he doesn't respect her is that he constantly compares her to her brother who he practically worships but as the series goes on we learned that Rhaegar is the antithesis of a great ruler rather than the template of a great ruler
Well said man.
So many think Rhaegar was this perfect prince that it annoys the hell out of me...
@@dragospinx1440 he was a tortured artist and I know because I'm a tortured artist most artists are tortured
@@madambutterfly1997 I will wait for the next book to make a full Judgement....
The show left a bad taste...
@@dragospinx1440 I had my own A Song of Ice and Fire fanfiction I was working on but then season 8 disgusted me so much I can't even bring myself to finish it
@@madambutterfly1997 I feel ya....
Hope TWOW washes it away...
Give me liver and onions!!
Love it
Who needs a QueensGuard when you have 3 dragons
Dragons are not useful in closed doors
Men win wars
LORD SNOW Drogon won the last war
She has Queen's Guard?
I think that to Barristan the Queensguard of Daenerys is not a proper Queensguard, Three of them were part of her khas and now her bloodriders, Strong Belwas is tecnically just a bodyguard , non of this four are knights and made the proper knightly oath, The only one other than Barristan that could be consider a Queensguard was Jorah who was breaking his oath while been a spy for the enemies of her Queen
So to him he is the only True Queensguard of Daenerys
Garlan Tyrell is ineligible to join the Kingsguard. He has a wife, kids, and I’m pretty sure is now the lord of Brightwater Keep. Also the Tyrells are 100% joining Aegon’s cause.
Maybe Barristan meant she didn't have a full Queensguard?
Ahh... If only Belwas came up against the Mountain...
I see daenerys I click hehe
9:23 Thanks for the House of the Dragon spoiler...............
A Song of Ice and Fire. Not Game of Thrones
Thinking back now if I was a civilian and I knew of the dance of dragons and seen some mjthafucking dragon eggs I would have destroyed them
they were literally stone when daenerys got them and there was no way oof destroying them.
Fuck it unsullied queensguard+dragons try to kill that
nobody from westerros can be trusted to be guard for a targaryan
it could be because only barriston was a knight the rest were not
Strong Belwas was the best
WC!!!
❤️
I wish winds of winter would come out soon, so I can erase the disaster that was season 8 from my brain😶😶😶😶😶😶
how do i pit 4k euros in 100-200€ bills in that waller ffs
Even tho they didn't deserve it. The mad king and his rapist son had the best kingsquard
Let me guess: "Rhaegar hater?"
Rhaegars a cunt bro
@@nickanzohrevand7547 Jon snow it the books doesnt know he's Rhaegar's son yet.
@@nickanzohrevand7547 what's wrong with hating that silver haired coward? He Abandoned his sick wife and children. He left his own little children to be butchered. Robert Baratheon was a better man
@@muazizzuddin4982 jon isn't the son of that silver haired coward. Jon is the bastard child of Ned stark and Ashara dayne. The TV show isn't canon. R+L=J is just d&d fanfiction
This man talks like a dripping tap
Who was the Lord Commander of Robert's Kingsguard? I thought it *was* Selmy...
And no wonder Jorah was so besotted with Dany when she's going around giving him kisses on the lips 😐
Jorah kissed her against her will once on a ship, and it only cemented her distrust in him. Did you read the books, or just hear this somewhere?
@@paulwilliams1731 Haha, read them twice. Did you watch this video? Watch it again and listen to the part where she makes him the first of her Queensguard 👍🏻
Barristan will betray Dany
If she goes the mad queen route
Whooooaaaa bro are you black !? I love I thought I was the only nerdy nigga that loved GoT
Damn; They cut all this kool shit out the show (smfh)
$85 wallet?
Are you Indian?
I thought Daario naharis fought the champion of mereen
in the show, yes, but in the books it was the strong belwas.
Not in the books
Strong Belwas is a really cool badass, character, but unfortunately
1. Black character who is submissive to a white character.
2. Talks in broken English.
3. Childlike personality.
4. Obsessed with fighting and food.
Which was probably a lot more bagage than you can get away with on mainstream television which I guess is why he got cut in the show.
You should stop trying to fit racism in this. Everyone in Essos/Dorne have a darker shade of skin. Though there are parts where the people do not have Dark skin shades but we haven't been to that place. It's a medieval slave location why would it have white colored slaves when white colored slaves rarely exist ? They live in Essos so why would they know Westeroi ?
Strong Belwas isn't black.
