Very nice. What gets me is all they had to do was declare a law that stated if the firstborn was female, then the man she married must take her surname. At the end of the day, it was never about gender. It was about keeping a single family name as ruler of the realm.
@@rosscardenas6636 his line died with the death of his son Maelor lol Rhaenyra literally is the 7 times great grandmother to Jon Snow love as I said every Targaryen after her son Aegon III is her direct descendant
I actually like Rheanyra a lot. The greens were completely in the wrong here by attempting a bloody coup. Allicent was conniving and ambitious to the point of treachery while Rheanyra seemed like she would have kept cordial with them had they followed the fallen kings wishes. I hope they show the tea on the love interests and baby daddies in house of the dragon!!
Definitely team Rhaenyra! The council of 101 is one of the things I didn’t like about Jaehaerys. Fire and blood taught us that the first Targaryen rulers of Westeros were women. Rhaenys and Visenya ruled the realm while Aegon was touring the land. Thanks for another great video Gray! Would love to see the one of the murder mystery’s, there are so many. ❤️
@@bensonfang1868 Not necessarily. Ancient and important houses are treated almost like brands. There are a couple instances in the books where a man from a lesser house adopts the name of the greater house upon marriage. Or their children take the name of their mother's house. I'm sure Rhaenyra's children would take the name Targaryen.
I’m on team Rhaenyra completely. In the books in the short time she did rule she wasn’t the best and she did plenty of shit things but I feel like Alicent sabotaged her from the very beginning. All of that could have been avoided if everyone just honored her father’s wishes. Her father was very clear that she was to succeed before any sons he had. Rhaenyra was his firstborn. In every way she was the rightful Queen and they stole her crown. She had every right to fight for her throne. I’m interested in how the show portrays her character and her relationship with the Velaryons and Daemon. Are they going to make her sympathetic or more of a villain so we do t mind how her story ends in the book. Although I was still routing for her in the books.
But truth wins one way or the other. It's her kin that sits the throne anyways which i think can be considered a victory whereas Alicent's entire bloodline is wiped out and she has the audacity to blames Rhaenyera for it. Such a hateful character. She dies mad after every relative dies. Which i felt satisfied with.
I hate how her children are always portrayed with Valyrian looks. They weren't rumoured to be bastards for nothing; they had brown hair and brown eyes 👁️👁️
I actually saw the bits of the trailer, I think they're going to look like what they look like in the book. Dark brown hair-dark eyes young men. At first, I totally believed the Green narratives that indeed all 3 are Strong 'bastards.' But after thinking about it, I wonder if perhaps not all 3 are "bastards?" Or perhaps all 3 are NOT bastards? Laenor's mother had dark hair when she was young (although now her hair has turned all silver white) and his grandmother had dark eyes and dark hair. What if those particular genes skipped Laenor and showed up in the rumored Strong boys? Also not all Velaryon-Targaryen would have silver-white hair with pairs of purple eyes. This could be seen in Rhaenyra's grandmother, who had honey colored hair and pair of blue eyes unlike the rest of the Targaryen-Velaryon. No one wondered if Alysanne was a 'bastard' or something like that... Before you claimed that, oh Laenor preferred men. Sure, he did, but it didn't mean, he couldn't engage in sex for procreation purpose. He knew how important it was to have heir to his house and for their line so I'd think he would 'push through' and wouldn't let 'impostors' or 'bastards' to carry his name.... I guess we all have to wait until the show to see whether or not the rumor that the 3 boys are indeed 'Strong boys' or whatnot.
That's because the Arryns have those traits, from her mother's side. Look at Robert Arryn. Viserys wife is half Arryn. But all 3 boys, Rhaenyras sons were very honourable unlike Alicent's kids.
Love your takes on these books. As someone who hasn't read them, but listened to a lot of audios about the lore, I think your approach is informative and humorous at the same time. 👏🏽
I love love love Rhaenyra! I named my fanfiction/AU character after her. I know she isn't going to win The Dance, but I'm going to ride and die with her anyways.
I'm still hoping to see Balarian the Black Dread in this series as at what point did Balarian die I know he lived till 200 but I don't know how or when he died
This has made this night absolutely amazing!!! Just got an A on my quiz in my Mental Health Nursing class and some juice from the wonderfully amazing Gray!!! 😊
Don't you know there is no "petty" in a situation like that?! Remember what Cersei taught us: When you play the game of thrones, you either win. Or you die.
I'm always Team Black, but I definitely see Rhaenyra as being a little unhinged like Cersei. There are also parallels between her unfulfilled love with Christian Cole and Cersei's crush on Rhaegar. I don't think the parallels are accidental - Cersei's demise will involve a dragon like Rhaenyra or Joffrey Velarion, I think. GRRM doesn't write purely good or evil characters.
@@sleekoduck He doesn’t but they can be borderline good or cartoonishly evil. Rhaenyra’s madness was caused by the war which was caused by the ambitions of Queen Hightower. Moral of the story, never marry anyone from The Reach, they’re all corrupt.
@@gfilmer7150 amen and amen. And there is another parallel with Cersei, her nemesis is the daughter of a Hightower. The Reach is just evil. I hope Daenerys barbecues it after she roasts Volantis.
Rhaenyra is my favorite character in ASOIF. Look at my icon, it’s Syrax 😍 I’m Rhaenyra. My half-brother is an usurper. Thank you so much mamma. I needed this today!
I respectfully disagree. She was forced to spend time with the King by her father. Then the king announces he's going to marry her. She doesn't get any say in it. She wanted Rheanyra to marry Aegon and prevent any fighting. When that was refused she had to do what she had to to make sure her sons didn't get killed because of their heritage. Also, the "boys come before girls" is the entire reason Rheanyra's dad became king in the first place! Personally I like Rheanyra. Her uncle love notwithstanding. But technically speaking, Aegon was the rightful ruler being a true born son of the King. Js 🤷🏻♀️
I sympathize more with Rhaenyra than Queen Alicent. I was glad that Viserys was very adamant she to succeed him despite her being a woman (although I wonder if it's because Viserys was a dreamer-- he might dream that it was through Rhaenyra's line that Targaryen would persist and NOT through Alicent's so that's why he wouldn't allow Alicent to matchmake Aegon II with Rhaenyra--just a theory I was considering). And obviously, it's her line that's still living right now (in the book Danny still lives--John Snow is possibly Targaryen too, even the fAegon/young Griff), while Alicent's line with her children died with the suicide of Jaehara. But I also understand why the Greens would play dirty, letting Viserys to rot 10 days after passing away on his deathbed to connive and take over the kingdom. Obviously the two factions have been at odds for as long as they've been around. Alicent probably assumed once Rhaenyra became a queen, her son(s) (whom she believed to be the rightful heir to the throne) would be in danger as they often mocked Rhaenyra's oldest as 'bastard' Strongs. Plus she sincerely believed the Strong 'bastards' should not inherit after Rhaenyra, that Aegon II had more right.
It kinda reminds me of when Henry VII died. His mother Margaret Beaufort kept it quiet for 3 days to ensure Henry VIII would get to London before the public found out
There are so many you tube channels but yours stand out, I enjoy all your GoT videos and I feel yours is the best channel when it comes to GoT universe. Keep posting such great content.

@@thetalesofelbek7042 not a parallels need to be 100 the same. They have also instigated the biggest wars Westros have had and both slowly lost their beauty.
The dance of dragons is an excellent example of the prisoners dilemma. In the end, Rheanyra did go nuts and assume traitors were everywhere and while she was wrong on lost accounts, several did try to betray her.
I give some credibility to Mushroom, on the fact that Arryk and Erryk were said to fight each other during an hour while professing their love, while Mushroom just flat out takes the reallistical approach and says that they just kill each other in seconds. I don't know of much of a deep character was really Cryston Cole, and all the others by the way, but i have fear that this adaptation might just take what is said in the books at face value, and make all the greens one dimensional villains.
When reading F&B I was like, ‘Oh, this was an everyonesuckshere situation.’ before long before Visery’s died. I just feel kind of bad for everyone in the end.
I’m so excited for more info for the house of the dragon!!! Thank you gray lady!!! Your amazing I hope your having a great day! Thank you for all your videos!
shizzz i love your narration, coz this is the only way i will know the events in the books. they made it so different from the series this year.. do more pleeeeaasse
Looking at the picture at min 1.45 ... now, they should have casted Tamzin Merchant for the role of Rhaenyra when she deservedly carried the honourable title of Delight Of The Realm...
Ello, GA. Wow, so twisted. Im beginning to like the Lanisters now 😀. I can't wait, hope they (HBO)show most of what you said in this vlog and more. Until next time. 💛🕊& hair grease.🇺🇸mem-day ✌
Don't kill me, but I stopped f*****g w/Rhaenyra when she sat back and allowed Rhaenys (daughter of Aemon) to answer the realm's call which was meant for her (Rhaenyra). Rhaenys, the queen who never was, had the bravest and most noble death in all ASOIAF. Talk about going out like a "g". For me, this solidified that Rhaenys was the queen the realm needed, not Rhaenyra. You should do a video on her sometime. I actually see a lot of Dany in Rhaenys, and could see Dany dying in a similar fashion--sacrificing herself to save others, give them the chance to flee while she fights a battle she knows will result in her own death, etc etc.
Not only allowed Rhaenys to take the initiative there and get into that unfortunate situation but had her basically go it alone as well. Luke had just died i believe so Rhaenyra may have wanted to be extra cautious but it was certainly messed up to not send Jace and Joffrey with Rhaenys (at least one of them). And very telling of her character that Rhaenyra herself did not go in Rhaenys' stead or at least go with her.
And personally I don't think Rhaenyra's temperament or character were that great a fit for a monarch ; she seemed to become rash and impulsive with a very fiery personality and somewhat selfish. Even though it was likely not the happiest of marriages with Laenor clearly gay , she was having her trysts as well , her supposed children with Laenor were certainly not his (surely they were Harwin's) and was probably complicit with Daemon in getting Laenor out of the way. So much about her gives me Cersei vibes which worries me how good of a ruler she would have been. Rhaenys in contrast was honorable , dutiful , seemingly very clever and rather selfless as well ; she would have made a great queen imo , much more suited than Rhaenyra.
@@AlexBB77 yes Rhaenys would be better option but i dont parallels between rhaenyra and cersei. rhaenyra spent a lot of time with her father at small consul, so she knew how to rule. her only stupid descion was to not protect targ dragons and not join manderlys and go to white harbour for safety.
@@AlexBB77 cesei is a complete psycho in a feast for crows , man and she is dump , she even thinks that she is more clever than tyrion, plus cersei is cruel.
It's very weird to see that people are portraying alicent as villian,even though she is not and Her fear was genuinely true.if viserys have married laena or any other women then they would have done the same thing as alicent. I think green saction feel cheated by viserys when he decided to make his daughter the heir of iron throne even after the birth of aegon. I mean nobody have ever thought that a king will make his daughter the heir of ironthrone intead of his son. What would have happened if baelon have lived? Would viserys still make his daughter the heir of ironthrone?
Who's here after the release of the trailer for House of the Dragons?🙋
Yes, the smile the actress gave is sooo amazing

why doesn't Rhaenyra Targaryen have armor or body armor for when she is riding her dragon ? just wondering

Luke had just died i believe so Rhaenyra may have wanted to be extra cautious but it was certainly messed up to not send Jace and Joffrey with Rhaenys (at least one of them). And very telling of her character that Rhaenyra herself did not go in Rhaenys' stead or at least go with her.
I like both but it was her own fault. Daemon sacrificed himself and Caraxes to kill Aemond and Vhagar, Vhagar is not a joke.
And personally I don't think Rhaenyra's temperament or character were that great a fit for a monarch ; she seemed to become rash and impulsive with a very fiery personality and somewhat selfish. Even though it was likely not the happiest of marriages with Laenor clearly gay , she was having her trysts as well , her supposed children with Laenor were certainly not his (surely they were Harwin's) and was probably complicit with Daemon in getting Laenor out of the way. So much about her gives me Cersei vibes which worries me how good of a ruler she would have been. Rhaenys in contrast was honorable , dutiful , seemingly very clever and rather selfless as well ; she would have made a great queen imo , much more suited than Rhaenyra.
@@AlexBB77 yes Rhaenys would be better option but i dont parallels between rhaenyra and cersei. rhaenyra spent a lot of time with her father at small consul, so she knew how to rule. her only stupid descion was to not protect targ dragons and not join manderlys and go to white harbour for safety.
@@AlexBB77 cesei is a complete psycho in a feast for crows , man and she is dump , she even thinks that she is more clever than tyrion, plus cersei is cruel.
I love how you tell the story. your so funny! Thatwas good

I like the changes made on the show so far
Been waiting since the Corlys vid 😍😍 could you do Aemond One eye next or Criston Cole
The only reason im hyped for this show is because it means more gray
What is the origin of the dagger Bran was attacked with? Any thoughts? As origin, I am referring to before AGOT. Brought over by Targarens?
Team Rhaenyra all the way!! 🐉
Even though I know it won't end well for either of them, I'm still a supoorter of book Dany and Rhaenyra.
Yes pls do the munder mysteries during the DOD🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉
Yeah here she is
It's very weird to see that people are portraying alicent as villian,even though she is not and Her fear was genuinely true.if viserys have married laena or any other women then they would have done the same thing as alicent.
I think green saction feel cheated by viserys when he decided to make his daughter the heir of iron throne even after the birth of aegon. I mean nobody have ever thought that a king will make his daughter the heir of ironthrone intead of his son.
What would have happened if baelon have lived? Would viserys still make his daughter the heir of ironthrone?
I 100% want to see a murder mystery during the dance video that would be insane and amazing!!!
