- Rhaenyra spared the life of Otto Hightower | House of the Dragon
Episode 10
Rhaenys riding Meleys The Red Queen spoiled Aegon's Coronation and flew Dragonstone to warn Queen Rhaenyra of the situation.
Meleys The Red Queen spared the lives of King Aegon II & his whole family in House of the Dragon
Princess Rhaenys while imprisoned by Queen Alicent Hightower, escaped and approached with her dragon Meleys. She could have roasted the entire family of Otto Hightower, Aemond Targaryen, Helena Targaryen, but she spared their lives by a gesture of mercy and a warning.
Meleys, nicknamed the Red Queen, is a she-dragon ridden by Princess Rhaenys Targaryen. Covered in scarlet scales, she has accents of bright copper. It is her unique coloring for which she received her nickname. In her youth, she is said to have outpaced even Caraxes and Vhagar.

Despite all his faults you cannot deny Otto has balls. Every time he comes on that bridge he gets surrounded by dragons but comes back anyway.
He knows they don't have the power to kill him because it would mean Rhaenyra can't be diplomatically talked since she kills messengers and the realm would support Aegon's rule more. That's why the last episode was such a debacle for the Greens, they bloodied their hands first before the first round of talks ends which means other lords not only think they are vile kinslayers but would rather support someone more diplomatically worthy of their trust.
He only comes back because because they’d allowed him to
It's because he knows that rhaenerya is a bitch
Ayo facts
because plot armor lmao. if these characters had any sense they would have chosen violence before the other side inevitably did. now we have two groups playing who’s the bigger idiot until they kill off all their dragons
When Otto asked for the grandmaester I thought he was gonna ask for another badge😂
Lmao same
😂😂😂
Same lol
OMG that would’ve been so funny
That woulda been funny as sht lol
Imagine if Otto had just pulled another hand of the king brooch from his pocket and put it on right after Rhaenyra threw the first one.
😂😂😂😂😂
*five minutes of rhaenyra throwing brooches into the ocean later.*
Rhaenerya: SEVEN HELLS OTTO! How many of these damn pins do you have??
Otto: I've actually started a collection over the years, I even have some limited addition ones. Look, this ones made of wood, a glittery one, and here you can see this one's hand is petting a snark!
*after smacking away a third one*
“Where are these coming from?!”
Omfg lolol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@ryancallsin 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love how Otto says Houses Stark, Baratheon, and Tully are considering generous terms and in the end Stark and Tully declare for Rhaenyra
If a little embellishment nudges Rhaenyra to submit, why not try it lol
To be fair, the Tully's didn't declare for her until Addam Velaryon landed Seasmoke in Riverrun's courtyard, and even then, it was over Lord Grover's objections.
I think the Starks were fresh off a similar situation a la She Wolves of Winterfell
Rhaenyra is right in calling Otto a traitor. He conspired against the wishes of the previous king to displace the rightful heir to the throne, even to the point where he was willing to order her and all her children murdered. And he thinks that House Stark would even consider breaking an oath?
It's what's best for the realm. Rhaenyra had illegitimate kids who would have become king and queen. Also the son always comes before the daughter... any other king would have changed his hier but viserys was not smart.
@@joshua6207 I wouldn't have any issue with Jacaerys inheriting the throne. Even if he is illegitemate, he'd clearly be a good king and that is what should count above all else. Plus, can you honestly claim that Aegon would be a better monarch than Rhaenyra? As loose as she was in her youth, she at least mellowed out and became more responsible and dedicated in her role as heir apparent; Aegon just stayed a drunken, raping wastrel and made no effort to improve himself.
@@samalvey8168 No bro it would be way to obvious that he wasn't targaryen or Velaryon... the brown hair gives it away lol if you read the book you see what happens if Rhaenyra gets the throne.... Aegon was not fit for the throne and didn't even want it until the crowd cheers for him but because he's the kings first born son it should be his...
True but the blacks have dragons to answer complaints
@@joshua6207 but that wasn’t her fault laenor had different taste
One of Rhaenyra’s biggest mistakes was sparing Otto at this moment
Tyland Lannister at that point had already divided the treasurey and ensured that even in a case of rhyenyras temporary victory shed be ruined, wich is exactly what happend.
The war was literally over before it began, you can win battles or sieges but if you cant rule or feed the people you are no king or queen.
@@loop4x454 Yes but it didn’t change the fact she went out fighting. The dance of the dragons ultimately left the kingdom dragon less and the Targaryens lost what made them powerful and ultimately, they were then finally killable which is exactly what happens. Only a few kings later, the mad king and his children all die. Obviously, I’m the books, Danaerys is still alive but she gave up on the iron throne and left the land.
@@Trabsol good the dragons are the worst things that ever happend to westeros.
I know right pretty stupid🙄🙄🙄
@@loop4x454 thats exactly what happens btw. She took King's Landing, crowned herself "Queen", yet couldn't feed the city and was broke so decided to raise the taxes like crazy for which the people hated her. She is often referred to as Maegor with teats because she was so unpopular with the people.
Even syrax was ready to just burn them all once daemon is almost ready to pull the trigger
Rhaenyra is so useless, shes fucked up everything since episode 1 lol
If Dragons just do what they want I'm surprised Syrax didn't
@@zaaxi7424 dragons feel their riders emotions and act accordingly to how they interpret them
@@killer_queen4062 ya rhaenyra was secretly panicking over a potential skirmish. Thats why syrax freaked out

Well, sometimes at least
The first time I saw Rhaenyra rip Otto's pin off and the Maester come up, I thought he was gonna bring a box with more pins

Knowing Otto
I wouldn’t be surprised

HAHAHAHA! GOT EM! 🤣😂

😂
This might be the greatest comment in the history of TH-cam!😂
Rhaenyra is so badass walking past Otto wearing Viserys’ crown. He’s like ‘so that’s where that went’
Surprised they didn't have him do a double take 😅
And she will sell it.... pathetic wh*re . She wasn't worthy of the Conciliator's crown
Builders at dragonstone be like "great, another dragon at the bridge"
"Damn it sire, we had just fixed that part yesterday!"
Otto Hightower does have balls to show up there again…
He’s not a bad guy he did try to present a peaceful solution before just straight up trying to wage war
@@aslysa2277 i don’t think we watched the same show if you think Otto is not a bad Guy 😅 it’s a lot because of him that this war is going to happen 😂
@@aslysa2277 he is a horrible, manipulative, egoistical pos who sold his daughter and would sacrifice anyone for his own greed
@@jadefcx9912 There are like 10 charachters who are responsible for the war with Viserys being first
@@aslysa2277 No, he only worked 24/7 to steal a throne and probably slowly poisoned his King. Nah, he's not a bad guy at all...🙄
I love how Otto thinks of himself a cunning man when he constantly forgets that dragons still exist and that the starks would ever go back on their word.
He's singlehandedly responsible for the death of the dragons and the subsequent fall of the Targaryens and the strengthening of House Hightower, what a chad.
@@Heisenberg882 not all dragons died but they weren’t as effective. Also Hightowers were not exactly loved after the civil war and essentially went isolationist.
@@Orcaluv26 Hightowers were isolationist for most of their history, they just went back to the status quo. The Hightowers ended the war stronger and richer than ever.
@@Orcaluv26 Hightowers went isolationists? Rhaegar Targaryens best friend and sworn shield was a Hightower. The are the most trusted banner men of the Tyrells after the Tarleys. Every house has a maester from Old Town.
He doesn't forget, he just doesn''t give a fuck and goes on with the plan. He's also clearly unimpressed by Daemon's shenanigans. Otto has balls of valyrian steel.
I'm currently re-watching Game of Thrones and when everyone saw Drogon they were about to shit themselves, but since dragons were common during this time these guys saw Syrax like it's just another Tuesday.
The first episode shows it the best. The citizens of KL don't even give a second glance when Syrax comes home from her flight.
If the characters in Attack on Titan (anime) behave consistent with their character identity across 4 seasons, even through minor details about how they relate to each other over time, the least GoT -> HoTD can do is have some basic reactions of everyone correct based on it's own directed and obvious lore.
The main characters of HoTD are a mess in terms of making sense to any prior, maybe stated or observed, desires. Yes, I'm saying the writing is inconsistent, and maybe it'll take another season or two before the audience with writing quality standards leave like The Walking Dead. If you didn't jump ship before season 4/5 of that show, it really didn't matter how poorly put together the production was or how silly unnbelievable the characters in it had become. 1 bad season and 1 terrible last seasons of GoT, one very subpar (probably even bad) season of HoTD. For me, I'll only watch one more season that bad before I only pay attention through headlines.
Daemon: Bring me Lord Hightower so that I may take the pleasure myself!
Syrax: Lets fuck up some shit!!
Rhaenyra: No
Daemon and Syrax: 😶
4:12 Syrax was letting them know she’s really about that life 🔥
Syrax back there probably going "Say the word, and i turn them into ashes"
Of all the drama happening here, here i was thinking,
"Damn, dragonstone looks breathtakingly stunning"
"Matt Smith becoming yet another king consort ✌️😁"
Rhaenyra certainly treated him more mercifully than I would have. He'd be a pile of ash and bone if he were dealing with me
She had no reason to give in, especially when Otto told Alicent he intended to have her killed in ep 9
Syrax would've had dinner served at this moment. No way in hell would I let this arrogant toerag leave breathing.
Her kids are Bastards and she weaponized her father's favoritism against anyone who ever pointed out the obvious
@@Treize132 She's the appointed heir. The way I see it, she can do whatever she wants and screw what other people think. Especially when the other people in question are scheming behind your back at every possible turn.
@@dogbert14 you're a retard. No different than the mad king
Love this Otto actor. First saw him in Nothing Hill playing a weird friend of Hugh Grant.
Otto is the epitome of a great game of thrones character. Little finger said the best way to manipulate someone is to get them to do your bidding as if it was their own intent. Otto showed his true hand with that very first offer of peace for the realm while rhaenyra acknowledges aegon but then plays the dirty move by showing the page from the book to play on her mercy. Rhaenyra realistically should have captured Otto and held him prisoner and then began her conquest. She’d have the hand and grandfather of the king while then he would also be leverage in negotiations while if he didn’t have any use they could end him right there.
Daemon giving strong Paulie Walnuts vibes here. A henchman so zealous and belligerent to make his own boss feel awkward.
“Da fuck is dis” ….got me dying
@@TheRafapanchito that’s it
The brutal murder of your son, whatever happened there. . .
@@ConfusedRevolutionary you are talking to the Queen here!
What kind of woman fucks her own uncle! Disgraceful!
i love the sound of syrax and craxes roar
Yes yes me too
Rhaenyra should have arrested Otto and everyone who accompanied him to Dragonstone for treason. Also, since it was so easy for Blood and Cheese to get into the Red Keep, they should have gone straight for Aegon & Aemond and killed them. Then Daemon should have helped Rhaena claim Vermithor. Then they should have all flown over with all their dragons and claimed the Red Keep, arresting Alicent. After Rhaenyra is crowned, they should fly to Old Town and burn down Hightower to set an example. Then burn Alicent and Otto alive on her coronation day as punishment for their treason but also, she gets the satisfaction of having them see her sit the Iron Throne with Daemon by her side, Rhaenys as her hand, Jace as heir to the Iron Throne with Baela as his queen-to-be and Joffery as the new heir to Driftmark with Rhaena as his lady-to-be.
Edit: Helaena and her children are the only ones who will be spared but none of her children or descendants will be allowed to learn High Valyrian, claim dragons or marry into noble houses. At the slightest sign of treason or vengeance, they'll be burnt alive.
Yes agreed. But Rhaenyra wanted to not move because war and bloodshed wasn't what she wanted. It was a very noble decision, but a very poor one at the same time. Daemon also chokes her because it was such a foolish decision plus she did not want to start the war and her actions had consequences. Had she done this, perhaps Luke could have survived too.
@@thespianuzumaki5452 from the very beginning she should went into war mode. They took her kindness for weakness and she lost a son because of it and will lose so much more before finally securing the throne for her bloodline.
Rhaenyra, like all the so-called good guys/people with some sort of morals in the show, made a similar mistake. You never let a snake live if you have a chance to chop it's head off. Killing Otto alongwith all of his thugs would have been such a powerful move on Rhaenyra's part.
To be fair he was sent as an envoy, it’s not right to kill a messenger but she should have never made him leave
This would have led almost immediately to a full-scale war that she probably wouldn't have won, because at this stage she didn't even have time to build alliances
It would have also been the thing that kickstarted the war, which she didn't want at the moment. In Westerosi culture killing a messenger is taboo, her killing Otto would have made a lot of the houses who were still considering who to side with side with the Greens. Yes, we know the war was inevitable, but Rhaenyra was still considering her options, and I can't stress this loudly enough, killing a messenger is *major* taboo in Westeros. It's why Aemond killing Lucerys is going to be such a huge problem for him and the Greens, because it's killing a messenger as well as kinslaying.
Why is everyone talking about killing Otto as if that wouldn't have led to the war starting even sooner? 😅
Or it could’ve backfired spectacularly. With Otto gone they probably would’ve found a more aggressive Hand who would’ve taken the fight to them as they were preparing.
You people weren’t paying attention. Rhaenyra wasn’t perfect but she would have made a better ruler than Aegon by far. Even Aegon knew it. The dance started because the conditions were already prime due to the Hightowers scheming and seeds of dissent planted in the family. Rhaenyra would’ve accepted the terms anyway, until as far as she could possibly reason, *they killed her son in cold blood.* Please someone sit here and tell me if they had access to basically nuclear launch codes but were vying for peace anyway and then the other side just MURDERED your child, you would react calmly and diplomatically. Please I have to hear this.
No she literally didn't, she was so bad she started an uprising against her
@@Heisenberg882 The uprising happened largely because the Greens were planting traitors in her inner circle so she started getting paranoid. Aegon was so consumed with winning power he literally bankrupted kings landing which led to the tax levied Rhaenyra had to put up to compensate, which of course made the lower classes angry. At first the people where happy with her rule because Aegon was so unpopular, hell even after the Queen died he still couldn’t garner enough support, and was so hated such that he was poisoned xD.
@@ravenblood1954 You do realise she could've got money from the wealthy too? But instead she excessively taxed the poor. Aegon was better like by the smallfolk, as seen in the play in episode 4, his coronation, and how he convinced Rhaenyra's own men in Dragonstone to join him.
@@Heisenberg882 Rheynera was liked by the smallfolk too. In the book, when Kings Landing fell, she was greeted with cheers. It was only after the bankruptcy that they started to turn on her. Besides that, the small folk are most of the population, there really wasn’t much nobility to tax and taxing the nobles more heavily would have led to a noble rebellion so it would have led to the same outcome
@@Heisenberg882 And again, they were only bankrupt cause of the previous ruler’s administrative failures xD
The fact that Alicent kept the page after all this time despite the negative relationship she had with Rhaenrya. 💔
Or they found another book and ripped the page out.
@@DarthKay093 no
I think it was something she just had around someplace. Because if she had such love for Rhaenyra - she would have examined the character of Jaecerys and realized: he is noble, comely, and heir to the throne. For the good of Westeros - marry him to Haelena. And also, as much as I love my son, making an unserious serial rapist king is not what Viserys would have wanted, no matter what his dying, disease, and pain ridden mind made him utter...
People are complicated
we are complicated, @@ucnguyenanh9414
Part of me is still wondering how the absolute hell House Hightower wasn't purged after the dance.
Cause why would they? You'd kill the whole House for the actions of 2 Hightowers?
Bro, the Targaryens are to blame for the Dance. They themselves are to blame, no one else.
@@thalmoragent9344 Did Aerys II purge the family involved in the Defiance of Duskendale for the crimes of the patriarch?
@@thalmoragent9344 the Hightower's conspired and committed treason, yet you say the Targaryens did it to themselves. Wild logic.
@@BatMan-cq8gq
Rhaenyra committed treason long before any of the Hightowers did, and Viserys was a weak and foolish king.
And even if we take you're side on this, you'd have the entire Hightower line wiped out or banished over the actions of... what, one, maybe 2 Hightower's at best? Seriously? Why should the Hightowers be purged? If they're to be purged, so should over half of Westeros. Many major houses sided against Rhaenyra, and the Hightowers were only one of them.
You're as unreasonable as Daemon and Rhaenyra. Viserys and Rhaenyra are the ones who were Unworthy of the Crowns they held, and as Targaryens they should've known better.
Jaehaerys KNEW what would happen if the succession wasn't settled, and so he made a Great Council. And even then, the Council reaffirmed that Jaehaerys was right in making the Eldest Male Heir the prime claim to the Throne.
Viserys was a terrible father who should've raised Aegon 2 right and prepared him to Rule. So now, we have Rhaenyra and Aegon 2, both unsuited to be rulers of Westeros.
@@thalmoragent9344 wait.... Rhaenyra committed treason? When? And what specifically was the treason?
I love Daemons lines in this
That is!
Same
big fan of the Pedo Prince huh?
"Ah yes, terrible thing. I am positively bereft."
His face while Otto is talking about aegon. He starts moving back and forth like “this guy has some nerve” and then oooks at rhaenyra like “please, please let me do it”
Important thing to note regarding terms is that Rhaenyra would be made "lady of Dragonstone" not "princess of Dragonstone". Prince/princess of Dragonstone is the title given to the heir to the Iron Throne. She would probably be styled as princess the same way Rhaenys is, but it would be a downgrade not just from her new position, even from the position she helds from the first episode.
And these terms are really bad, almost designed to start a war. If Alicent wanted Rhaenyra to accept, she should have offer her some hostages, and some marriage alliance. Aegon's children are betrothed to each other, but that could be broken and they could be instead promised to the future children of Jacaerys and Baela, uniting branches. Win-win.
Alicent would never agree to marry her kids to a line with Bastard blood. Also if u give rhaenyra hostages that would incentives her and strengthen her political position. The only way to fix this was to wed Aegon II to rhaenrya and name him heir, but that ship sailed a long time ago
Rhaenyra tried to unit both branches by trying to marry her first born (and heir) to Helaena, and Alicent refused.
@@sabrinabouazzouni4852 because he is a bastard. That’s disrespectful tbh
@@Doffythegoat she’s a queen so she can legitimise her own children. it doesn’t matter what alicent says.
@@Doffythegoat In Books Rhaenys had black hair.
Stark, Tully, Baratheon......houses that ended the Targaryen dynasty
Dont forget Arryn
Nice call back with the "mummers farce" line by Daemon!
Rolling up on a dragon in a golden f***ing saddle is exactly the way to make an entrance.
The saddle is even more elaborate now that she is queen.
Otto is so shameful to appear in front of the rightful heir of the throne. Viserys trusts him, respects him, values him throughout his life. He lets his daughter to be queen, he offers him glory and titles and making him the second most powerful man behind the king. All he wants before dying is the family to live in peace, and this is how he repays him.
Both blacks and greens are no good in truth, but Otto is one of the worst in this conflict.
Otto knew the moment Alicent bore a son that he had a way to unseat Rhaenyra. The world simply wasn’t ready for that change without reason. Viserys unmade his own attempt at rewriting history for his daughter through his own weakness. I suspect a lot of Daemon’s frustration with his brother stemmed with him seeing Otto’s intent from the start but stymying his own efforts at trustworthiness through his own impulsive and ambitious actions.
You are absolutely right. Be mad at Otto all you want but he knew how the game was played. Daemon saw it too, but again Viserys was a weak king.
I'm genuinely happy that the ''teAM bLaCk'' phase of cringe ''girlboss'' tiktokkers supporting the impulsive ticking time bombs because they have kinky sex with people they shouldn't so they can ''live freely'' is taking a backseat to actual objective evaluation of the plot lately. Yes, Otto is a selfish schemer, but he did have the right of it.
Yes, he was actually a true brother all along.
And as much as an ambitious bastard as Otto was, he had several valid points about Daemon. He’s willing to use murder to get what he wants, even against women and innocents. And his talk of restoring the House of the Dragon to its “proper glory” would’ve ensured the days of peace were done.
An idealistic change always happens against the grain, and it's always brought in by dragging the world kicking and screaming along with it. And hell, in Dorne, she would have been entirely unopposed, and nobody would have batted an eye at her children's parentage.
Viserys' only mistake was having more children. If Rhaenyra was all he had, then the realm would have been forced to accept a woman as ruler, because who else would they take? Daemon? Nobody liked him. Rhaenys? Yeah, that would be ironic, given they voted her down the first time. Rhaenyra could have dragged the Seven Kingdoms into a new era, if only Viserys hadn't remarried and begot a son who the realm would root for to replace his daughter.
Rhaenyra rides with her dragon is the biggest flex ever
She's trying too hard to be cool and it comes off as cringe

If i was here, wouldve just parked my dragon to block their exit and scream 'dracarys' cos i got no time for traitors.
You would've died via assassination and nobody would blink an eye for it.
I wished Rhaenyra is portrayed to be more fiercer but I think that will be shown in season 2.
She will be more likely a villain in season 2. If you've read the books she's done a lot of terrible things to the Hightowers and their allies. Even Alicent begged for her mercy in which she ignored. Can't wait for this.
@@lyonprairie2691 especially since she had everything taken away from her. Her son, stillborn daughter and crown
@@lyonprairie2691 Alicent and Rhaenyras children by Daemond are the only ones that will survive the War. Everyone else dies. Alicent becomes a coo coo brain talking to herself because of losing everyone she’s ever loved, that’s her fate.
@@lyonprairie2691 I wouldn’t see that as being a villain more someone who isn’t foolish enough to offer second chances to those that have carried this level of treason, as I know I personally wouldn’t allow anyone to cross me to this level and let them walk away.

The hard truth (of this show but also in Real Life) is: people are too stubborn and prefer to die as a king instead to live as a lord.

Otto plans to have her killed

they all die😂😂

Bitch they all died
"You fuggin traitor!"
the greens are horrible characters plain and annoying i want to throw my phone everytime they're on my screen
Rhaenyra was trained as a diplomat , and never knew when to set things on fire ...Syrax was so ready to wrap it up😭😭.
It's like real life you've got know when to speak gently and when to lay down the hammer..
She should’ve let daemon take care of it. But Otto died anyways 😂 and it was daemon who set for it too
4:12 Even Syrax was ready to kill Otto!
I love Otto thinks stark and Tully will betray an oath. Starks are the most loyal house there is
I wish they would go more with the sound effects than having music behind every dragon scene - even though Ramin is the genius of music. Sometimes it is more realistic and interesting to hear the dragons sounds.
Daemon is always about the action bro i love it
They did Daemon good in the show, it's a pity they couldn't do the same for Euron.
Man I fucking love HotD
He forgot one thing....the king never acknoliged his son only his daughter
I’ve always wondered if Otto had been killed there and then, if so much blood had been spared as his whispers would have stopped. I understand there would have been bad blood between them but in the end, I strongly suspect Alicent cared more for her children than her father who cared more about the crown than anything.
Good luck convincing anyone to follow you if you murdered the Hand of the King under a flag of truce.
Viserys should had killed him on the moment he started asking Aegon for the throne, this is treason and coup against the crown, the king had chosen his heiress and Otto wanted to put his nephew on her place so he could be the puppet master, like he did by marrying Allicent with Viserys. He is an power hungry conspirator and a traitor of the crown
Now that is an entrance.. 😂🐉🐉🔥🔥
My queen you forget your dragon parked in the way out
Honestly even if rhaneyra quits her claim and agress with aegon as king
STILL Otto would kill her and her children
Exactly.
It's all about bloodline. Otto Hightower would have never let complete advantages to Rhaenyra and her children. It's a Hightower who must Keep running Westeros and no one else.
@@hopelogan8490yep so either way we dancing. The only way this could’ve been avoided is a marriage between Rhaenyra and Aegon.
Which is why I cannot stand this man or his House. This is instigated by instilling fear in Alicent's children. He does the exact thing he's saying Rhaenyra "might" do.
@@janellejulianajoy Daemon would do it, just look at everything he has done.
Can't wait for the north, Riverlands and eyre coming in and wreck the greens for good
I would have sent the Green Lantern her father’s head back in a basket & started the war right then & there. And it would have been roasted.
4:11 I love Syrax's roar. It sounds like a deadly trumpet.
Bruh 😂 I just love how Matt Smith made his character! he's like alright I'm done with all this fam I been ready to throw hands with you Otto let's go 😂
Would have been cool if syrax came down and ate Otto and the knights ran away.
Sounds like the same dumb shit we had in the later GoT seasons.
Syrax only eats goats and cattles she is spoiled lmao
That's more of a seasmoke kind of thing.

3:29 Me when I watch Rhaenys interrupt Aegons coronation
By naming Aegon king, Otto doomed his bloodline within the Targaryen dynasty to extinction.
For all of ottos being a snake he has valid points. Aegon wielding his namesake sword. His name. His crown. and blessed by a high sept in the eyes of thousands of people. They now see him as a legitimate king to the iron throne. A political power move that ensures that he is the “true” heir to the throne.
That’s the trouble with all of this. On one side, you have the King’s proclaimed heir, but who mothered bastards and would pass the throne on to boys who, in truth, have no right to sit on the throne - not Targaryen nor Velaryon. True Targaryens, who are on the other hand, would feel cheated, even if the whole thing was a Hightower conspiracy. They are traditionally speaking the rightful heirs. But… Nonetheless, the King’s word wasn’t for them.
@@jeffberridge176 they were legitimatized and acknowledged by the king which is law regardless of their parentage. Kings have ever right I declare their heirs. She also has “true Targaryens” sons with daemon. So no matter how you see it she has all rights of the throne. Aegon only has superficial legitimacy that can be easily lost which he will.
@@BlackSteelKeyChain Aegon is still the Kings first born son. That accounts for a lot
@@BlackSteelKeyChain Rhaenyra 1st 3 Children are not legitimazed they are True Born its Simple there Legal Father ie: Laenor Velaryon never Disowned the 3 Boys but Claimed it as his Own Son aslong The Legal Husband did not Disown Rhaenyra Sons they are True Born that is the precendent of the Legal Husband to his Spouse Children thats why theres no sense in Green Claiming that Rhaenyra Commited Treason the hell the only way they prove it is when Laenor Accuse Rhaenyra of Infedility and Claimed all Rhaenyra 1st 3 children are not his own that is when Rhaenyra will be called Traitor and his 3 older sons to be called Bastards .
@@rohanshende4338first born son yes but not first born child that is where the laws conflict.
DOn't care what anyone says, Otto had balls. First he challenges Daemon this slides on up to dragonstone. To deliver a message. Knowing he could have been killed at any time.
The Hightower’s are snakes that poisoned and nearly destroyed Targaryens. Aegon 1 should’ve burned oldtown to the ground
the targaryens destroyed themselves
And they succeeded because the Hightowers are the best house and they destroyed the foreign targaryens from the inside
@@Heisenberg882hightowers are foreign as well, they cane from the empire of down (essos continent - far east)
@@arpa9009 No one knows where they came from, and they've been in westeros so long they're older than the first men and the andals

Michelle O'Neil is behind tu 😂❤🎉 Dia dhuit
Otto always gotta use Aegons whole ass title when referring to him 😂
I can’t believe I am rooting for incest, but it would’ve been really nice if Rhaenyra and her brother could’ve just gotten married. 🤷🏾♀️ It would’ve solved a lot of problems. But then we wouldn’t have a story. 💀
Otto once proposed to Viserys to marry Rhaenyra and Aegon together. Problem was, Aegon was only 2 years old that time. But it's kind of interesting because if that had happened, Hightown blood would be on the iron throne (smth which Otto wants) which would probably have avoided the Dance all together.
Otto must be an idiot if he thinks House Stark wouldn't support Rhynera.
Why's that? Cregan Stark never swore an oath to Rhaenyra. His father did. Before Aegon II was born, mind you. The North is even more patriarchal than the South.
@@bellgrand A stark would never break his oath.
And oaths are a thing of honor which is why only the lannister and Baratheons as "great" houses supported the greens
@@scarletwizard5451 Again, he never swore an oath to Rhaenyra. And furthermore, when they swore the oaths, Viserys lacked a male heir; remember that in the first half of the series, the conflict was whether or not Daemon would inherit, since he was the next in line per male preference.
@@bellgrand Oaths are oaths you swear loyalty 4ever.
And yet again the lannister and Baratheons are the only great houses that supported prince aegon
@@scarletwizard5451 Again, it was a legal fiction by Otto Hightower to deny Daemon the throne. But it was not going to be supported by the Lords, whose legitimacy and power also relies on male primogeniture. Remember that law in the Middle Ages was based on custom and honor-based institutions, not formal legislation.
Technically, Tully was originally Green; Velaryon also switched to Green mid-war. And Hightower is a Great House in all but name. They once ruled as kings too.
2024 is gonna be lit...patiently waiting 😊
King Aegon "The Unworthy".
2:04 😂😂😂
Considering how much power Otto has, your signing your own death sentence not killing him.
Eh you overestimate his power, in season 2 his grandsons gonna remind him who’s king, specifically a king with a dragon.
Rhaenyra kids become king.
Syrax was ready to roast them all
The princesses 2nd biggest mistakes was not killing him right here.
Love this part
The only reason why otto declared for rhanerya to be heir in the beginning because he already had his plots brewing. Get his daughter to bore a son to viserys and then he probably thought rhanerya wouldnt put up a fight when his grandson came to sit the throne. He thought wrong. Dudes about to lose his head 😝😝😝
does anybody know the soundtrack that plays when Otto hands Rhaenyra the book page, around 3:37
At this point if we could change episodes from the book so rhaenyra and her allies win and live up to some point, it wouldn’t really matter because either way Rhaenyra’s son ends up on the throne.
I hope they dont...That would steal the impact of the story.
But Rhaenyra's son was a green I think. Never aknowledged his mother as Queen.
@@Hugo74390 well that’s not true he hated the greens after
-spoiler-
They fed his mother to Sunfyre in front of him while he was very young traumatising the kid
@@Hugo74390 Why would Aegon iii be a green when the greens caused the death of his brothers, mother, and caused him to live the rest of his life in despair? Aegon is said to have worn black for the rest of his life he loves his family very much!
Smartest black
Please, Rhaenyra, say: "Dracarys!"
Aegon will say dracarys and after that sunfire will 😋 rhanyra
@@debamlyabanerjee4067 we already know that
Everyone will die
Daemon and Syrax were about to save House Targaryen from doom right there and then
Daemon with the best one-liner in thrones history
Seems kinda strange of Rhaenyra land behind the greens and walk past them to turn around and speak to them. At any point they could’ve grabbed her
Yea they did come under a peace banner, but if I was guarding her I wouldn’t have let her do that for fear they might attack her.
If they grabbed her they probably would have all died right there and then. Daemon was there and the island is full dragons and they came with non. They knew the risk😂
@@chumanimtwebana6321 I know, but it was still a big risk. The Kingsguard at least should have been there to protect her. It made no sense to land behind them, then walk past them THEN turn around and address them
It's another change from the book I wish they hadn't made
@@WiiMan1133 it's a power move
@@WiiMan1133did you not see Syrax in there , they are Toast if they make a Stupid move even Rhaenyra died there she had Jace who will inherit her position & "Still alive Luke" to Carry on her Fight and in the Greens side they just lost Otto ( Toasted ) aswell a number of Aegon Kings Guard and also a very pissed Daemon & Rhaenyra Sons hell bent want too avenge Rhaenyra because of Otto Groups Stupid Move .
@@mikered1974 they could’ve just kept the conflict the same as it was in the books, where she meets the Green while seated on the Dragonstone throne with her crown on her head
Yeah we wouldn’t seen Syrax, but then we wouldn’t also be asking “why is she still the same size after 15 years?”
Syrax is a Trumpet-Gurl
Of course she heard him from all the way back there
The worst of all this in the book. Is that Otto was the one who told Viserys that Rhaenyra should be the heir because neither Otto or Viserys wanted Daemon to be king. And then Otto tries to take being heir away from Rhaenyra which makes this scene with Otto even shittier.
The way i would have ripped that paper and thrown it to the sea
She should have burned them there and then. Send their ashes back to Alicent with the page from the book on top.
She has diplomatic immunity
Well kids, even if you don't like him. Daemon was always right. He had the cold blood to do what nobody wanted to do. Unfortunately his brother Viserys trusted so much in the good of the people (Huffelpuff vibes) that this war started and his daughter prolonged it
