      The books say she loved Rhaegar and the prince himself cared for her. Even in regards to Lyanna it’s likely she did not mind - the Martells fathered many Sands and did not view bastards as the other 6 kingdoms.
      Ellia couldn’t bare anymore children after her second - so it’s likely Rhaegar approached her with an understanding of wanting a third child, after all the dragon has three heads, with Lyanna they found a solution

    • @rakshithanand8262
      @rakshithanand8262 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +28

      ​@@mysticdragonwolf89 Whilst I'm sure that is how Rhaegar justified his decision to himself, it is highly unlikely that Elia agreed, since she was a smart girl and would have understood that such a move would be political suicide for her. She had already been passed up at Harrenhal in favour of Lyanna and Aerys hated her and her children- so even if Rhaegar had somehow gotten legal permission to marry Lyanna (unlikely) she and her kids would forever be in danger. That she seems to have loved Rhaegar just means it was all the worse a betrayal on his part.
      As is, running of with her (even IF it was consensual- whatever that means to a teenager) was phenomenally stupid, and likely informed by Rhaegar's delusion that he was destined to live in a 'I'm built different bro' kind of way.
      The bottom line is this; Rhaegar was an idiot- and he died for it.

      @pogiakolagi1909 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Robert stepped out of the brothel with a sword. Contrary to the post here, when Lord Tarly ambushed Robert, Robert didn't run. Robert fought despite the surpise but was clearly defeated by a better commander. He rushed to stony sept and hid in the brothels. When the battle of the bells ensued Jon Connington saw Robert inside a brothel and they fought using swords. Robert nearly killed Jon, that's why they retreated. Jon states this in the Book 5.

Also a history book about everything called the world of ice and fire of I'm correct. Those three and the box set of the GOT books are what you probably want.

    After the discovery of who Jon really is, you can see why Ned was always so protective in S1 when Robert would go on these blood thirsty rants seeping with rage in regards to killing the final standing Targaryen's.
    What an awful position he was in. Swallowing a lie for 20 years, that brought shame on his honor, caused Catelyn to feel like she was betrayed, and would've caused his best friend and King excruciating pain to know that Lyanna loved Rhaegar, and they bore a child together who he undoubtedly would've had murdered.
    Ned really was in a no-win situation, that put so many people that he loved and cared about at odds with eachother.

    Quick point to add to this, Robert didn’t just get the throne as he was the leader of the winning rebellion (although this was definitely a huge factor) but he also had a legitimate (albeit distant) blood claim to the throne as his grandmother was Rhaelle Targaryen. This is why when Cersei confronts Ned and asks him why he didn’t seize the throne for himself, he mentions Robert having the greater claim (a justification he also uses with Renly IIRC).
    This is why I love the books, there’s the deliberate irony of Robert despising all Targaryens despite being part Targaryen himself, and the discussion of what makes a king (might vs right) is discussed throughout.

    Couple of factual errors here:
    Robert Baratheon was present at the Battle of Gulltown. He was the first
    on the walls, slaying Lord Marq Grafton is a duel. After that, he took a
    ship to Storm's End.
    The first major victory for the rebels was in Gulltown. The Battle of
    the Bells, far from being the first major victory, was the turning point
    of the rebel fortunes, as their beleaguered commander Robert was able
    to link up with Eddard Stark, Hoster Tully, and Denys Arryn (who would
    die in the battle in combat with Jon Connington).
    Almost as important as the loss of Rhaegar Targaryen at the Trident was
    the loss of the three Kingsguard knights who were Rhaegar's
    subcommanders. Lewyn Martell was slain by the Vale troops, Barristan
    Selmy was captured by the Northmen, and Jonothor Darry was slain by the
    Riverlander troops under Hoster Tully. The loss of those commanders
    meant that no commander was present to rally the fleeing forces, to
    retreat to King's Landing and bolster their defenses.
    There was a minor battle with the Greyjoys off the Mander following the
    Trident. Lord Quellon Greyjoy, father to Balon and a dedicated reformer,
    was killed in a worthless skirmish near the Shield Islands in the Reach
    fighting the Shield Islands navy.
    Robert was acclaimed before the Battle of the Trident by the
    overwhelming assent of his bannermen. He did not want the position, nor
    was this decision made following the Sack of King's Landing.
    Still, very slick presentation as you are known for.

      True, his claim was military above all else. But he did technically have a legal claim as well, which probably played a role in many houses at least publicly accepting Robert as the new king. With Aerys and Rhaegar dead, and Viserys and Daenerys excluded (children of the mad king), Robert was legally the next in line to the throne.

      @@ararivadeneira7012 The smart move here would have been to take her as hostage/ward, like Theon was. This would have been a guarantee that Dorne wouldn't take action against the realm. instead, she dies. This leads to Doran Martell secretly pledging his daughter to Viserys, Oberyn Martell seething with murderous intent over her death, the whole of Dorne waiting for a reason to rebel, the foolhardy quest of Quentyn Martell (leading to his death), etc.
      Granted, this could have also led to a discovery by the Lannisters that Elia's son Aegon had been replaced with an imposter from Pisswater Bend, which would have thrown many of Varys' and Illyrio's plans awry.
      But, no matter what, Tywin Lannister STILL did not order his men to kill her. Sure, it's a bit of a nitpick, but that's just how obsessive I am over the book series.

    Aerys was paranoid his son Rhaegar was plotting against him. And maybe he was. There’s little explanation for why the loyalists allowed Robert’s rebellion to get to the fever point instead of strangling it in its crib. They didn’t commit troops to defend Gultown from Jon Arryn. The Martells reluctantly sent the bare minimum of troops to aid the crown. And the Tyrells essentially allowed Robert to escape and join the other rebels by turning course for Storm’s End.
    Remember during this entire time Rhaegar is just missing. No one is certain of his location but there’s some indication he’s in the reach or further south. That might even by why Robert marched his army west, looking for him, before striking north.
    I strongly suspect Rhaegar told the Martells and Tyrells to save their power. His plan was to father the prince who was promised than allow the rebellion to reach a fever pitch before putting it down himself at the Trident. Then he’d join his forces with the Tyrell and Martell reserves and return to King’s Landing and “convince” his father to step down and abdicate to him.
    Rhaegar himself told Barristan Selmy there would be changes at court following the Trident. A man as smart as Rhaegar was no doubt saw the deterioration of his father and realized the damage he was doing to their rule, their house and the realm

    It’s only a matter of time before this story becomes a spin off series. Only a matter of time.

      @monokhem Game of Thrones is HBO's most profitable show! Besides, HBO already announced that their planning on making spin offs.

      monokhem I think it’s just enough for a movie. Starting with some Targaryen back story and ending with ned going back north it could be 90 to 120 minutes

      @monokhem So because the story is "well known" means it doesn't deserve a spin-off? That's an absurd notion. And yes, there is a way to make the ascertain, it's called viewership.

      @monokhem Just because YOU think that there isn't enough material, doesn't mean there isn't.
