I always liked the story of Jonquil Darke, the Serpent in Scarlet, and how she disguised her self as a mystery knight and took part in the great tourney organised to fill the vacant five slots of the new King Jaehaery' King's Guard. Many knights, high and low took part, and The Serpent in Scarlet was one of many favourites among the small folk, as was a massive knight known as 'Keg O'Ale' as every time he defeated an opponent his would down a keg of ale, to the cheers of the crowd as they chanted 'Hail Hail Keg O'Ale!' They was also another young man called Pate the Woodcock who wore only armour and fought with a long staff, not a sword. But he fought so well, that he beat every knight who came against him. Some of the Lords and Knights began to grumble at this and claimed angrily that Pate was not a true knight, demanding to know who had knighted him. At which point, the Lord Commander of the King's Guard strode onto the arena and called out loudly to the victorious Pate, 'you have fought well, young man, but there is some doubt as to your right to call yourself a knight' he gestured to the important knights in their shiny armour and fancy helms, 'So, I need must take action'. And with those words, the Lord Commander himself knighted Pate, and gave him his white cloak, to the cheers of the crowd and the applause of the king. As for Jonquil Darke, although she battled well, in the end she was defeated, and unmasked. And although both the Lord Commander and King Jaehaerys were impressed with her, custom said that the King's Guard was a sworn brotherhood of men, and they could not offer her a white cloak. Yet, it goes to show, good deeds can be remembered. And a short while later, fanatics of the Faith of Seven almost succeeded in assassination Good Queen Alicante, while she was vulnerable and away from the King's Guard in the women's bath house at Maiden Pool. Has it not been for the bravery and sacrifice of her own ladies in waiting, the Queen would have been murdered before their cries brought the King's Guard running in to make short work of the assassins. As it was, Queen Alicante survived, and afterwards told King Jaehares, 'The King's Guard are brave and true, but there are places they cannot go. I need a protector of my own.' And at once Jaehares knew who was needed, and mounted his dragon, flew to fetch Jonquil Darke, and made her the Queen's Sword Shield and personal protector. Hence forth, Jonquil was every at Queen Alicante's side, and followed her so well that she was known as 'The Scarlet Shadow'. She even rode the dragon Silverwing, as a passenger behind the Queen, when she and Jaehares travel to Old Town to meet the High Towers.
And that is why King Jaehaerys and the Good Queen are the best rulers the Seven Kingdoms ever saw. I believe GRRM himself said that the Kingsguard of that time was the best of all time.
Imagine a tilt between Barristan the Bold and the Dragonknight in their primes... Legendary would not begin to describe it. Also who were in the Kingsguard that Duncan the Tall commanded? Seems like a perfect video
You have to Seek the WHITE BOOK for That one. BUT I Still contest That WAS the BEST KING's Guard EVER! Ser Duncan SAVED House Targ, SINGLE FOOTEDLY.! (Remember that FOOT! Bright Flame Wanted It, And one of the BEST Targs Died For Dunk's Honor! I Want to Know HOW He Saved the Remaining Targs At Summerhall.) AND YOU Know HE COULD NOT leave Aegon/Egg.. It was almost a Father/ Son Relationship.. but Yes Arthur Dayne, Ryam Redwyne, AND He Knighted Barristan. That's 4 BMF'S RIGHT THERE. I'm Sure the Rest Were JUST as Impressive! They Have ALWAYS Been The Best Knight's n the Land. It's Like saying Wilt Chamberlain was Horrible Because LeBron IS so GREAT! THEY ALL WERE the BEST of their Times! Lucamore Strong, Willam the Wasp, More than One Sword of the Morning Served. Brackens.
@@JungleLeeLewis The Red Dog Of Westerlands whom Jahaerhys took into his Kingsguard as its first ever Lord Commander. I forgot his name, but he always was my favourite ever since I read Fire and Blood.
@@nightfall3332 GerolT, Im pretty sure it is, not GerolD. But answering your question, yes of course. Hightower was one of the three defending the Tower of Joy in Dorne during Roberts Rebellion, so he must have had some skill with lance and sword.
Great vid, but at the end you said that it doesn't seem likely that we'll have a tourney with a mystery knight. But in the Winds of Winter sample chapter titled Alayne we learn that there is going to be a tournament to find 8 people to guard sweet robin. So there could be a mystery knight in that tournament.
But this tourney isn't a random tourney. It's a ploy to secure hostages. Why would little finger allow a mystery knight be put on his hyper specific list of nobles he wishes to manipulate? Unless it was part of his plan.
@@StrongHamr That would be hilarious lol. I like the idea that he is the mysterious stone man lord guy who spared tyrion since tyrion imagined him with his fathers face
I know they say the voice is meant to “boom” but even so how could Lyanna have convinced everyone she was a male ? By adding in the bit that says all the mystery knight asked was for the squires to learn hi or I’ve always thought is he misleading us.. but why
One day, when I finally finish my world, I hope see you as a fan, like I’m yours. This information that you give, only make the world more real. 💪🏻 thank you. One day I hope you remember, the sorcerer of dreams ✌️
The theory that rhaegar found the mystery knight "lynna" and fell in love with her actions and beauty and then gave her the necklace at harrenhall is just amazing and it touched my heart ❤️🤒
Aemon Targaryen The Dragonknight entered as mystery knight going by the name the Knight of Tears winning and naming his Sister/Lover the Queen of Love & Beauty. I really want to see graphic Novel on Aemon the DragonKnight he’s definitely one of my Favorite Knights/Kingsguard
Basically, NOTHING Good Has EVER happened At HARRENHAL.. Breakspear And the Dragon Knight, WE'RE EPIC MF'S! Sir Duncan the Tall is the MOST prolific Of Kingsguard, IMO. Question, Since it's UNKNOWN if Arlyn of Pennytree Knighted Duncan Before Death. And Duncan Knighted Barristan, Perhaps My Favorite "Current" Kingsguard. BUT Does His KNIGHTHOOD COUNT? Barri Could Cut through the 5 of the Other KG "Like Carving a Cake!". And Arthur Dayne Could Kill 5 Men With His Left hand , whilst Pissing with His Right one! But Dunk The Lunk as Thick as A Castle WALL, Would JUST BRUTE FORCE Everyone.. "Strong" Bloodline, Of Lucamore Stock. Same as Brienne..
Tell me the truth, are you really Queen Rhaella's daughter by Ser Arthur Dayne? Is that why your mom named you Daenerys, because it's the letters that make up "Ser Dayne" and she named you after your real father? I hope that means you aren't like Viserys as your father was NOT the Mad King, and Cersei is really the mad kings daughter. Is Queen Rhaella still alive and posing as Dalla? Is that why in the first 5 pages of ACOK Shireen mentions seeing Dalla by the well in Dragonstone? Is the well there a secret entrance? Is that why Mance, cough Ser Arthur, says he is the King beyond the wall, because he is married to Queen Rhaella????? Is Wyman Manderly in on it? Is the green braided Wylla he is hiding another secret Dragon seed/Dayne girl? Is that why Arianne and Doran Martell discuss a green braided Tyrosh girl being at the water gardens when they were little? Tell us please! Is Val related to Ashara Dayne? Is that why she says Dalla/Rhaella is her sister? Because her mom is Ashara and that is Rhaella's sister in Law by marrying Arthur Dayne? Lastly did Queen Rhaella secretly watch over you and protect you as Quaithe which is a word similar to the word Mother in a certain language? I bet she had to leave you and hated doing it but needed to fake her death, or perhaps you were stolen from her. I don't know the reasons behind everything but I'm guessing it could all come out eventually in the books when you are redeemed from the TRAVESTY of your ending in the show.
@@Lotschi Thanks, I personally think Dany will be redeemed in the books. The World of ice and fire has the reference to the foreign language that has Mother being a word very similar to Quaithe.
@@Lotschi I am hoping for Jon to marry Dany and get granted Dawn (since she would be a Dayne Heiress get it , Daenerys sounds like Dayne Heiress) and become the sword of the morning!!!!
I love that about GRRM...he keeps reminding people that he didn’t NOT write the world book... the maesters etc did. What a way to stay in character!!!
I wasnt expecting a Moon Knight reference, thank you for that sir
Random bullshit go!
