      Viserys set the precedent of choosing personal desire over political advantage in Alicent vs Laena. When he told Rhaenyra to seek out her own match, find one which pleases her, like he did, he's indicating that he's ok with Rhaenyra choosing someone not powerful, as long as she's happy.
      It's true Ser Criston is off the list the moment he was sworn into the Kingsguard, but don't forget that the King has the power to release him from his oaths, so technically he can brought back (although realistically I doubt Viserys would be willing to).
      If Ser Criston had never joined the Kingsguard, however, I do think he's a frontrunner. Rhaenyra definitely likes him, he's proven his worth as a warrior after besting Daemon, and he's an anointed knight. The realm might not agree to this match, but Viserys would probably be cool with it if Rhaenyra asks.

    As I see some others have pointed out Rhenys mother was Joceyln Baratheon her father's half-aunt. I think it would be great content for viewers to understand that Targaryens often married house Velaryon whenever they didn't have an appropriate Targayen siblings, or cousins available. For example Aegon the 1st mother was a velaryon. So was king Jaeherys mother.

    Side note, Aemon did not marry his sister, but his half-aunt Jocelyn Baratheon, younger half-sister of King Jaehaerys and Queen Alysanne. That is why in the show Rhaenys and Corlys have close ties to the Baratheons. I actually like that they changed some things from the books, like Laenor being older then Laena Velaryon.
    The show is off to a good start and I cant wait for the next episode. I still get triggered when that awesome Targaryen theme makes me think of how dreadfully butchered the last few seasons were.

    Jaehaerys wasn't made king after his grandfather's death. He was made king when his uncle Maegor the Cruel died and he was the grandson of Aegon I. Thus he is Jaehaerys I.
    His son Baelon was married to his sister Alyssa, but Aemon was married to his father's (Jaehaerys') half-sister Jocelyn. So Jocelyn was Aemon's half-aunt.
    Jocelyn Baratheon was the daughter of Rogar and Alyssa (Alyssa was the mother of Jaehaerys and Alyssane, the grandmother of Alyssa, Baelon and Aemon).
    In the show, Viserys can either save the baby or let both of them die. Most of us think the maesters lied about that, but it's what we know.

    Have you done a video yet for the hypothetical line of succession for British throne if male primogeniture was discarded centuries earlier than 2011. That would be pretty interesting to imagine if Henry the 8th had declared it, how things would have rolled out.
    Or say if some bold female monarch, say Queen Elizabeth the first, had declared female primogeniture that would so interesting too. Would love to see. Thanks!

    So, what I've understood of your videos on Royal houses and the succession of thrones is;
    Unless otherwise forced by circumstance, males were preferred to take the throne
    If there was no sons and only a girl, the girl would inherit the throne.
    If a girl is the eldest legitimate child of the reigning monarch, but a younger boy is born, the boy inherits the throne.

    2:38 Aemon didn't marry his sister, only Baelon did. Aemon marry Jocelyn Baratheon that makes Rhaenys cousins with the Baratheons. In the first episode of the show, in the tournament that King Viserys held to joyfully announcing that Queen Aemma has gone into labor, just before a knight from House of Baratheon fight in the arena, he rides up to the royal box to receive the favor from Princess Rhaenys and call her "Cousin". Rhaenys and her husband, Corlys Velaryon, have a good relationship with the Baratheons.
    Jocelyn Baratheon is actually Aemon's aunt, because Jocelyn is the daughter of Rogar Baratheon and Alyssa Velaryon who is also the mother of The Old King Jaeherys I. Alyssa Velaryon remarried to Rogar Baratheon after his husband, King Aenys I, passed away and her son, King Jaehaerys I, took the crown.

    A minor bug: Aegon I did not have "Rhoynars" in his title, as he did not manage to conquer Dorne. The official title of the iron throne from Aegon I on had long been "King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of Six Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm", until Daeron II peacefully introduced Dorne into the Seven Kingdoms.

    • @enrajbroin
      @enrajbroin ปีที่แล้ว +3

      A minor bug: Aegon I was an arrogant piece of shit and the text states directly that he did use the title King of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm. He claimed Dorne even though he failed to conquer it. The six kingdoms thing is a fan misconception that is textually wrong. The lorebooks directly point out Aegon used this title even though he hadn't actually conquered Dorne.

    • @SorceressWitch
      @SorceressWitch ปีที่แล้ว

      Not a bug, he had Rhoynar in his title. English monarchs did something similar in claiming France when they didn't rule it.
      This is from Fire and Blood. "Three days later, in the Starry Sept, His High Holiness himself anointed Aegon with the seven oils, placed a crown upon his head, and proclaimed him Aegon of House Targaryen, the First of His Name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm. (“Seven Kingdoms” was the style used, though Dorne had not submitted. Nor would it, for more than a century to come.)"
      So it is right to title him that way.

    6:20 i remember viserys being specifically told by the maester that they could only save the baby? Realistically it was a choice between the mother or baby, and from what I understand historically the mother would be saved, but in the context presented in the show viserys was under the impression that it was lose the mother or lose both, with no option to save the mother

    • @Alejojojo6
      @Alejojojo6 ปีที่แล้ว

      No in the show they say we either loose them both or we can just save one but saving the child was easier than saving the mother of course. Historically, the child was safe more than the mother cause in ancient times Kings can remarry.
