- King Maegor Targaryen's war with the faith that lasted all of his reign can really be defined with two battles early in the conflict. You have the minor skirmish at the battle of stonebridge, the the much larger that involved the king with the battle of the great fork of the blackwater river. This video takes a look into Maegor's war with the faith and what lead to it.

What was to come was the final showdown between the two main players of the dance of the dragons and bring the war into its final phase. The House of the dragon was crumbling and the events that was about to follow would only cause more damage to both sides of the war.

All hail King Maegor
Savior of the Targaryen dinasty and, eventually, the world
Indeed.
The king the targareyans deserved and needed
First of his name,
King of the andals,
The Rhoynar, and the First Men..
Lord of the Seven kingdoms and protector of The Realm…
Rider of Balerion The Black Dread..
Savior Of House Targaryen..
Yes hail me the true king who bore the sword
All this trouble to put down the Faith Militant only for Cersei to stupidly raise them back up two hundred years later.
Exactly weak ass Lannister. Give the order, and we'll clear out this rabble”. "You'd be sending them to meet the gods that they love"
And then she has three high ranking members of house Tyrell killed at the Sept of Baelor Cersei is somehow dumber than Aerys II
@@pattonramming1988 exactly did she really think that all the other houses were just going to lay down and let her rule..
Yeah, that was utter stupidity. Even that pious moron Baelor never grew foolish enough to allow the Faith Militant to reform.
I swear if i had to marry that woman like bobby b i would have strangeld her
I think Maegors disposal of the faith was the best thing that could have happened to the Targaryens.
Exactly.
If he were to properly dispose of them he would have burnt the Starry Sept
@@pattonramming1988 That was his biggest mistake
He was too merciful
I had plans on building a new sept in kings landing but that was scrapt after jaehaerys rebeld.
@@drrohanjacob If he did that, then the Targaryens would truly be seen as monsters and would never be able to rule Westeros without their dragons. Maybe not even with them.
The Faith tried to takeover Westeros. Maegor was a warrior, his brother wasn't. Maegor took on the traitors while his brother just dithered. So of course they defamed him.
Take a monster to kill a monster
He did what he needed to do to protect his family, as any man should..
@coldhands2802 I would not call Maegor a family man just definitely his family. He kills two his nephews and force his niece to marry him by using her daughters as prisoners how Maegor is not monster doing that but it true Maegor saves house Targaryen form Faith Milllant who cause it's mess first place was good thing Maegor kill them all when he can but a monster still a monster but was Maegor needed one.
@@FireCat34 he only hurt his family when they rebelled against him, if he was such a monster he should have killed all of them before they rebelled.
@jerichopagtama7811 When Maegor killed Prince Viserys he lost a tons of leverage it allows his enemys rally around Jaehaerys and my point with Rhaena still stands also Maegor done things would be war crimes.
The only time I supported Maegor is when he went beast mode against the faith.
Very true. He needed to bring them to heel.
Yes Maegor was brutal and cruel... But I think that war was neccessary to secure House Targaryen's power on Westeros. Too many ennemies were rising after Aegon's death. The realm needed a strong heir to hold everything together.
Very True @turbhad.
To everyone saying Maegor was justified in seizing the throne because only he could put down the rebellion, he could have just as easily done so in his nephew’s name, perhaps being named Hand of the King afterward or having literally any other role in governance. Don’t pretend Maegor usurped Aegon for any reason other than his greed and ego.
And how many dynasties can you name that were founded on altruism?
I was the son of the conqueror had his sword his sister-wifes sword and his crown the throne thus was mine
And mother told me to take it or i would be grounded
I thought Maegor and Aenys didn't see eye to eye on how to deal with the faith militants. How do you expect Maegor to crush them if he didn't get to fight his way?
He wasn’t cruel… brutal maybe… the realm needed it at the time
It did. If Maegor didn't put the faith in it's place, the Targs would not have lasted... that's why Cersei is so dumb with rearming the faith militant lol... Maegor saved his house..
@@coldhands2802 i concur with
Maegor's biggest mistake is that he engaged in war with his own family and the lords, if only he kept his war only between him and the Faith maybe people wouldn't revolt agaisn't him, also if he had gotten rid of Tyanna earlier he would have a normal child
Na he was cursed
It was his half-brother's family that made war on Maegor after he saved all their lives. They would have all been done in by religious zealots if he didn't burn those zealots to ash.
@@Jacaerys4life yeah I can definitely sympathize with maegor, he did terrible things but he was alone he couldn't even trust the people he saved to not betray him. He might have even made aegon his heir if he didn't rebel. Like stannis tried for renly.
@@mesa577 Aegon the Uncrowned remained the Prince of Dragonstone, Maegor never disinherited him. After the pretender prince fell in his rebellion, the King made Aegon Uncrowned's elder daughter, Aerea, his heir to the Iron Throne.
@@Jacaerys4life yeah aegon was definitely being manipulated and so were the other targeryans to go against maegor.
Maegor: "So your Gods matter that much to you? Okay. Time to meet them."
Exactly what i told them they shat their pants immiedatley
Meagor should have burned the high tower and their kingdom, if he did the dragons would have made a new Valeria.
Great video
Maegor returned from exile to claim his birthright, as the true heir of Visenya and the Conqueror. The pretender prince Aegon was nothing but a fool like his father.
You've got to be a troll. 😂😂😂
Maegor the great was the true king
He saved the house of the dragon
Maegor consolidated the power of House Targaryen since Aegon I and Aenys couldn't be bothered to actually govern
It is curious to see what happens with the Faith Militant in Winds of Winter. Even if Cersei destroys the great sept and kills the High Sparrow and the majority of his higher ups, it won’t be enough to put the Faith Militant down.
I think faegon will get rid of them Once he takes Kingslanding
I doubt the people of Westeros will meekly stand by while Cersei leads the seven kingdoms to ruin
Aenys was just not cut to be a King in the time line he was in.
If ever there was a time Aenys was fit to sit the Iron Throne it would be the coldest day in the seven hells
Ironically of it is Faith Militant themselves to blame the rise of Maegor they just swallow their pride on Aegon and Rhaena wedding and not rebellion against King Aenys would not meet their end only come back to life because Cersei was being a fool.
My man, Maegor I, single-handled saved the Targaryen dynasty after The Conqueror's death
A movie on Maegor's rule would be nice
A show would be better with Charlie Hunnam playing me
Long May He Reign!
Notification squad we here!
🎉🎉🎉
A good one sir
Seems like people with dragons would be better targets of assassins instead of armies
Any assasin would be a fool trying to kill me
been waiting for some more maegor videos 👍🏼
Wow, do I see correctly, the map is updated to the earlier period of Westeros history ?
Maegor would have acted and destroyed House Hightower if he was in the Dance.
As much as I despise Maegor, I will agree that him stamping out the Faith Militant was necessary. Religious fanatics are not ones who can be reasoned with and are a major threat to any kind of stability.
I was initially curious as to why House Stark and the North never involved themselves in this, but I eventually came to assume that they saw neither side as worthy of support; the Faith Militant had been trying to conquer the North for thousands of years and Maegor was a usurper, kinslayer and violator of guest right all in one.
Despise me i will have your head for such tresonous words
All hail the son of the dragon
Maegor did nothing wrong.
do you have any videos on the religions in westeros like the old gods and the seven because I don't get them and whenever I search for information it doesnt really explain it. btw your videos are great
Glad you like the videos. I have touched upon the old god in the history of the north a bit but i am planning a huge video just about the gods in the next couple of weeks hopefully
@@WorldOfWesteros Okay, cool thank you!!
If you watched HOTD, then you see just how slimy and evil the Hightowers are (they also likely control maesters, fot7, etc). Exactly why Maegor did what he did. Maybe he was cruel, but he was a warrior and his house was at war with Hightowers and their proxies virtually his entire adult life and that war continued on with Hobert/Otto/Alicent. If I had a dragon and I had the richest family in the realm waging a cold war against my family, I know what I would do. Make that cold war a fiery one real fast, just like Maegor did.
Me and big B reking shit up ah good times
Let this be a lesson for those claiming that we need faith in politics
Funny thing about a tons of politicians who say faith should be in politics themselves not religious only saying that to win votes. 😂😂😂
You do realise that the targareryens were vicious invaders right ? You all celebrate maegor because you hate religion but I swear if they weren't religious you would have said they had the right to try and defend themselves from invaders who decided to attack just for the sake of it
@@FireCat34 funny you should mention that also the sky is blue
Maegor pretty much went screw himself when he killed his nephews it poetic justice from the gods that he doesn’t have any heirs.
Some have speculated that Maegor was sterile because his mother Visenya had conceived him with the aid of dark magic
My damn wives were all barren
