Juan Rivera apparently this is already in production. I had originally head and read (rumors mind you no facts) that the original series was supposed to be ten thousand years in the past. It was scrapped and production started on Aegon’s Conquest. Again rumor not sure if it is true but definitely something to *hopefully* look forward too!
Bro, legit. My Girlfriend sat me down last week to watch the first episode of GoT (I had never seen before) we are now starting Season 5, I've been trudging through TH-cam for GoT/ASoIF lore, and am ordering the books. It's like crack, I swear.
I think you mean Robert’s Rebellion not the Battle of the Trident, cause watching just one battle on it’s own would be boring as hell but the name of the war itself was Robert’s Rebellion.
Absolutely love your video's......I have since first finding you years ago. Just a FYI - The Targaryen's were never down to just one dragon in Aegon's time..... They were just down to only one Dragon left that was born in Old Valyria though..........
Hi! Question: Does essos use a different year count? I mean Why would essos use the yearcount of a Conquest in westeros. For example do they use the years gone by after the end of the valerian freehold?
Volantis might. My headcanon suggests that once Westeros was unified they became so dominant that it was easier for the Free Cities to just switch to the Westerosi calendar. Edit: Could be wrong tho.
You know, some people might say that Torrhen Stark is a coward for bending the knee without fighting but i maintain that he did the right thing. I mean sure, he may have had a bigger army but what good is an army against 3 fucking fire-breathing dragons? Torrhen didn't want to risk his people's lives and have them die for no reason considering all the stories were true about all the kingdoms that had already fell to the Targaryens. No matter what plans he would come up with to fight against the Targaryens, the outcome would be the same.
@@majorbensonwinifredpayne2158 it's not quite the same. It's really good tho and that and the got mod for crusader kings 2 are the closest to the perfect asoiaf game out there rn
Unfortunately Med 2 has not aged well. Not talking just about the graphics, they're acceptable, but there are *so many* glitches and bugs with newer systems it's starting to become unplayable. I wish Games Workshop weren't such cunts too. They made CA shoot down a SOIAF mod for Warhammer (which is a perfect starting point to create an universe with dragons and giants, etc) because muh copyrights
Love the channel. You keep me excited for your next video. I have a suggestion, could you please do an overview of seasons 3 and 4 of GoT. Keep up the great work. Valar Morghulis.
@@CivilizationEx Thanks. I used to watch GoT, and I loved it. I want to share it w/ my friends at church, and you present it in a way I can. Love the channel, good luck, and again, thanks, for everything you do.
Make Aegon's Conquest movie now. Lee Pace as Aegon Targaryan. Charlize Theron as Visenya. Katherine Winnick as Rheanys. A movie or mini-series it makes no difference to me.
Seriously, as neat as this whole campaign looks on the surface, it's really a headscratcher why Aegon simply didn't conquer all of them with the dragons alone, army or not. Nobody in Westeros had any defense against them it's a miracle this conquest took as long as it did to wrap up. And they _still_ didn't win back Dorne.
It was not necessary since there was nothing worth conquering and it would have been difficult to defend. The wall is basically a perfect place to establish your borders because it already has great defenses and there is nothing of significance beyond it.
the dornish conflict is how you know grrm doesnt understand war, he wrote tywin cunning enough to flip house bolton against stark but didn't think that aegon couldn't flip support of any dornish house against the martells?
Ah, but Boltons WANTED to take the Starks' place as rulers of the North, and Roose particularly wanted out of this alliance that was increasingly likely to fail.
Houses Wyl and Yronwood of the top of my head I know do not like the Martells, they fought gainst King Durran the Young at the Battle by the Bloody Pool. So If aegon said i'll make you the warden of dorne they'd be all for it. but i know in his defense he wants to write dorne as one homogeneous unit but as indicated there are 3 racial groups firstmen, andals, and rhoynes, this doesn't seem like a big deal but look at the differences in england between celts, saxons and normans. i'm 100% sure aegon could have conqured dorne by flipping houses under his banner.
Yeah, the Yronwoods obviously long wanted to be the rulers of Dorne, including fighting for the rebels in 3/5 Blackfyre rebellions, but I'm thinking they wanted Dorne to be independent even more. By the time of Aegon's Conquest, there will have been a lot of intermarriage between the ethnicities, so even by that time it seems that the Dornish had a strong sense of themselves as a people.

Have I seen this? Yes. Will i watch again? Yes.
Yeah this is my third time. I’ve seen all his videos at least twice. So very good
Yes I'm not alone
Fr tho
He may of been the king who knelt. But he’s also the king that saved his men’s lives
We need a tv series of Aegon’s conquest. I mean that would be so epic. The field of fire. The burning of Harrenhall. The Martells. All of it.
Juan Rivera apparently this is already in production. I had originally head and read (rumors mind you no facts) that the original series was supposed to be ten thousand years in the past.

Facts
You forgot to mention how Volantis petitioned Aegon to aid them in their conquest of Essos
Hasan Wilson didn’t he ally with other free cities and destroy the Volantene army though?
Aegon saw essos as past of Valyrian, he saw Westeros as the future of a new Valyrian.
@@aamirrazak3467 He did.
Game of Thrones/ASOIAF stories are so addictive as heroines or weeds.

@@jamesfede what about Breaking bad it’s good too. Also I recommend Fire and Blood novel it’s good
Wow this is incredible, great job! The conquest was really interesting, i had no idea about many of the details
I would love it if you would start making these kinds of videos about the Witcher series (mostly the books of course)
I definetly will! Most likely will start making those as we get closer to the premiere of the Witcher show. :)
Aegons conquest and the battle of the trident could be their own series of shows like GOT
They should really be their own movies
@@bensonfang1868 Nah. Movies aren't long enough for ASoIaF.
Right Tho

So many great stories the history has so much depth really need too see Targaryen show

yeeeeesssss!!! So excited by this new video, thank you.
Thx for fixing the part where you were describing what King Argilac said, your earlier video (part 1) had it wrong.
Yeah I forgot to fix that the first time around.
I love house Massey’s Sigil but what it is supposed to be
An ancient first men symbol, relatively unknown. Probably information about it on AWOIAF though
Westeros: Exists.
Targaryens: It’s free real-estate.
Thanks, bro!
why do i know more about the A Song Of Ice And Fire history than i do about our real world history? hahaha
Same bro
I am the blood and seed of Aegon the Conqueror. I will take back what is mine with fire and blood I will take it!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🐉🐲🐉🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lol "And then Queen Rhaenys died...Love audio books??!?!?!"
Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken
the history before the books is way more interesting than the narrative within the show and books
You wouldve never found this interesting if they never made the show so stop lying

I used to think this and still kinda agree but torrehn didn't let Brandon snow attempt to kill the dragons and that makes me question his decision
I Agree with Torren Stark
People 1st
I wish they turn this great story into a series. Nominate Lee Pace (Thranduil) as Aegon Targaryen.
I would say he’s a bit too old. Remember Aegon is 25 when the conquest is finished.
The world of a Song of Ice and Fire would make for a great Total War setting.
Have it set a decade before aegons conquest and have aegon be an event or even a campaign mode to be him or fight against him
There is a nice mod for Medieval 2 called Westeros: Total War.
@@majorbensonwinifredpayne2158 it's not quite the same. It's really good tho and that and the got mod for crusader kings 2 are the closest to the perfect asoiaf game out there rn

All I'm getting from this is, dragons are OP as fuck
CivEx!
Part with Visenya was p cute
Make Aegon's Conquest movie now.
Lee Pace as Aegon Targaryan.
Charlize Theron as Visenya.
Katherine Winnick as Rheanys.
A movie or mini-series it makes no difference to me.
Do Theon Stark next
Do you mean the ancient king of the North named Theon, or Theon Greyjoy, son of Balon and Ned Stark’s ward?
How can anyone lose with 3 dragons?
giant scorpions.
Ha ha Wyverns
Seriously, as neat as this whole campaign looks on the surface, it's really a headscratcher why Aegon simply didn't conquer all of them with the dragons alone, army or not.

there was always a chance the dragons could have died plus who would hold the captured castles@@yarpen26
I imagine when Daenerys died and went to hell, this was all her Targaryen ancestors had to say to her.
55000 soldiers yet only losing only 4000, made them lose?
Id say it was a bit of a kick in the morale to see your leaders and best knights burned to death and three dragons flying about.
Hi iM Jesus 420 true. I can see how that might take the fight out of a large army.
4000 were killed almost instantly including the king and his sons, continuing to fight likely seemed pointless for a lot of the men.

when do we get our stargate lore ?
I love stargate, but there a few series ahead of it on my list so it may be awhile. :(
i wonder is there any answer why aegon didnt go beyond the wall?
It was not necessary since there was nothing worth conquering and it would have been difficult to defend. The wall is basically a perfect place to establish your borders because it already has great defenses and there is nothing of significance beyond it.

Morally Just
So basically it was daenerys if there were three of her
1:26 weird flex but ok
C
Sharra Arryn was considered the most beautiful woman in Westeros during that time. Wonder why Aegon rejected her marriage proposal 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pretty sure Sharra demanded her son Ronnel to be named heir and Aegon didn’t want that to happen so
Aegon was already twice married to his sisters.
how strong house targaryen with 3 dragons

The starks were cowards
