In some ways I find the Sworn Sword the richest of all Asoiaf stories. We learn about the Blackfyre rebellion, about honour and dishonour, about men and women, great lords and small folk. There's many memorable speeches - this one, Dunk telling Aegon about the smallfolls life, soldiering. Many memorable speeches.
I also like how Egg is there to witness it all and see how things like negotiations are made and to hear stories from another point if view, and as you said, how he's told by Dunk to respect the common folk
It would suit lord bloodraven that their names where all forgotten, so he has forbidden us to sing of them. But I remember, Robb Reyne, Gareth the Grey, Ser Aubery Ambrose, Lord Gormon Peake, Black Bryen Flowers, Redtusk, Fireball, Bittersteel! I ask you, has there ever been such a noble company, such a roll of heros? -Ser Eustace Osgrey, Last of his ancient and most noble house, all because he fought of the rightful King. For the King Who Bore the Sword!
Humm... Let's see: Fireball, a man whom likely did much to light the kingdom aflame for not having received a white cloak we don't know anything he had done to deserve, and despite having a fairly cushy job at the Red Keep, Bittersteel, a man famous for his bitterness and for his sense of having been wronged, despite enjoyed a fantastically privileged position in life and not being entitled to more according to the laws of his time and place and Gormon Peake, an unpleasant figure by any rights when we see it in the Mystery Knight. Those are the men in Eustache's ''roll of heroes'' that we know anything about. I like him as a character too and I have empathy for him but I always felt some in the fandom where mistaken when they taken his speech at face value. IMO Eustache Osgrey is meant to humanise those who fought for the Black Dragon but not to make them look like they had a valid point or truly establish moral equivalency with those who fought for Daeron the Good.
This was the best narration i've heard the remorse and wanting in his voice. It was so compelling and I keep replaying the ending when he says "Daerons mercy made me small" I can't help but feet pity for the man who gave everything he had and lost ending up being a sad bitter man haunted by the fallout that came from his gamble
I like how this shows another side to the Blackfyre rebellion, that there were no "Good Guys and Bad Guys" just equally terrible people fighting over the world's pointiest chair because the father of their respective kings wasn't worthy enough to sit on it in the first place.
Kinda hard to tell who was terrible to be fair. Daeron was known as the Good and he was a pacifist reformer who united the seven kingdoms by marriage and was generally a upstanding king. Daemon was the cool warrior king with a chivalrous heart and even he didn't think of rebelling against his brother until he was forced to. They both made great kings but were forced to fight under circumstances because of their shit father.
Daeron was winning everything in Dorne and only died because he deemed the dornish as honourable adversaries, which they clearly weren’t, also if we’re gonna go that far back then it’s Baelor the blessed’s fault for being a puis dumbass and locking up his sisters instead of having children
Daeron was the bastard of Aemon the Treacherous Dragonknight and therefore Daemon should have been king...many lives could have been saved if only people had realized this
@@larochejaquelein3680 if daeron is a bastard the throne should pass to his sister daenerys ( if she’s trueborn ) but aegon the fourth wasn’t called the unworthy for no reason
Yeah good point, i recently re-read the last Sansa and the hound the chapter, the one where the hound leaves Kingslanding. It so god damn poignant, also the song 'Mothers Mercy' makes an appearance, which really just sums up the series in terms of message and theme. Would be awesome if the Valkerist made a reading of it.
Legitimized bastards aren‘t bastards anymore,and thus they have a claim on the lands and titles of their fathers. The Targaryen supporters shan‘t be called „Loyalists“,for surely they are not.
Dokka Bae Daeron II was a bastard of the treacherous false knight Aemon the Dragonknight and thus DAEMON was the rightful king. Everyone knows Aemon loved dirty incest with his sister...there‘s a 99% chance that Daeron is his bastard
It’d be great also if Bran & the Reeds brought back Dark Sister from the weirwood to bestow on some worthy defender of Men. Hopefully something like that would work in the story
So many times have I heard this speech and video.thank you. Thank you thank you ! Long live the chequey lion. This old man was worthy of a viking funeral. I wonder what kids he had with lady Webber if any.
Sadly no. He passed away without producing any more heirs and Lady Webber later re-wed to Tywin's grandpa? Can't recall but one thing is sure. With Eustace Osgrey ended the line of chequey lions.
Until more books come out we won't know. Frankly, I think there exists the possibility she did, because otherwise It would've been Tytos and his kids who inherited Coldmoat and the Webber lands, and it is never mentioned or implied that they did. George was really good about connecting stories from the past to present in the book series, and I don't think the possibility of Lannisters owning land in the Reach which they could use against their enemies or be used as a bribe or reward would be ignored (or maybe it was, who knows). After all, succession laws in Westeros are fairly clear regarding noble inheritances. Rohanne's children would have the stronger and legitimate claim to Coldmoat over her cousins, even if they had the Webber name. So I like to believe she had a kid with Eustace, but that could be too romantic since it would mean he gets back part of his family legacy and ensures his lineage survives, which is too idealistic for a GRRM series. It could also be possible that when Rohanne wed Gerold the Golden, she provided a hefty enough Dowry that she could have convinced him to allow her cousin to inherit Coldmoat, and possibly Standfast as she would be able to claim it as Eustace's widow if they had no issue. Until we get more books out, we won't really know which scenario came true. Hell I could even believe that Tytos, being as weak as he was, just gave away his mother's lands to someone else just to make more friends.
These are all fantastic but this is a particular favourite of mine. The narrator and GRRM are fantastic. The lore and world of asoiaf is just incredible.
I'm afraid not. He betrayed a brother and King who actually was good. Thanks to Bloodraven he took good care of venomous Bitter Steel and fool Daemon. It is Bloodraven who is true badass , Bittersteel would agree.
@@samudragupta4395 stfu you fucking beta . Daeron betrothed Daenerys, the girl Daemon loves, to the Dorne guy.Fireball sent his own wife to the Silent Sisters just to join the Kingsguard, and Daeron did not take her into the Kingsguard. actually in the beginning the daemon didn't want to rebel. But under pressure from Fireball and Bitsteel, he finally decided to rebel.
Spoilers (for the book this is from, but oh well) I really liked the story being about a simple stream no longer flowing. No seige, no blockade, just a stream. It holds a microscope up to the greater conflict and shows that something so large can impact something so small.
@@stantheman2756 no he didn't he was strong, handsome and flashy like Robert once was, like people forget Aegon IV was when Daemons mother escaped the maidenvault to lay with him only to be abandoned after. The sword was given out of spite not love. Spite to the kingdom who hated Aegon, as were the rumours he spread about Daerons birth and being Aemons son, because the realm loved Aemon because he was everything Aegon wasn't. This spite didn't go away once Aemon sacrificed himself to save Aegon. I would choose Daeron the good, a bookish king who wasn't the perfect figure head Daemon, handsome and powerful but rather the reformist who united the realm that we got.
Daemon I Blackfyre, born Daemon Waters, was the bastard son of Princess Daena Targaryen and King Aegon IV Targaryen. Daemon founded House Blackfyre, named after the Targaryen Valyrian steel sword. He fought against his trueborn half-brother, King Daeron II Targaryen, for the Iron Throne in the First Blackfyre Rebellion. Daemon was the first and greatest of the five Blackfyre Pretenders. As a bastard of House Targaryen, Daemon bore the arms of House Targaryen, with the colors reversed: a black three-headed dragon on a red field. Thus, he became known as the Black Dragon.
Dude...You're Fantastic. I do not often use that adjective when describing another man, if at all. Yet here it is All too fitting. The highest praise to You and Yours. I've half a mind too grant You a Lordship for these reads, Ser. However, that Varys voice left much to be desired... Ill tell you true. It was similar, And do forgive me for this, but similar to an unwanted fondling in one's Inner Ear. It's borderline Ear Molestation, Friend.. Other than that...My thanks! You deserve more..just, More in general. Please Keep it up!!!
Makes you wonder why exactly she didn‘t talk to him. Did her silence derive purely from her religious oath, or did she still reproach her father for causing her brothers to die and for allowing her to be taken away far from home?
@@larochejaquelein3680 that's the darkness of the situation. You'd think that she would embrace him, and I think he would have been okay with that. But I think she blamed him. Blamed him for her future But damn 7 when she was taken. 20 when she died. That's sad as hell
@@shortstuff780 We humans have an ephemeral, insectile, ant-like life, and an average lifespan of less than a hundred years, which is very unimpressive. However, a lifespan as short as insects inclines us to respect life and live intensively and creatively in order to appreciate every moment of life and enjoy it. Maybe that girl did exactly that with her short life. Maybe she found happiness in those 20 years.
Luigi Innocente so was daemon this shows the absurdity of line of succession both have same blood ser eustace says this if his side had won ,the others would have been called traitors, now we know whether aegon is true or not so in the end it doenst matter
Whether Daeron was a bastard or not makes no difference. The Martels and those damable Dornishmen murdered the Young Dragon under the banner of truce. The Dornishmen violated all the laws of gods and men. Yet Baelor the so called Blessed did nothing. He did not enact the Father's justice or the warrior's vengeance. He did nothing as his own brother's corpse laid there on the Dornish Sands without the honor of any funeral right. What did he actually do you may ask? He rewarded the Dornish by promising the hand of his younger cousin to the daughter of the treacherous Prince of Dorne. He gave them the keys to the kingdom and then imprisoned his sisters so they may not condemn him or get their own vengeance by wedding the Starks of Winterfell which lost a son in those damned deserts. Thus did Baelor and his successors become oathbreakers as the Starks were owed a princess of the Blood yet none were allowed to wed a son of Winterfell. Daemon is the son of Princess Daena who loved her eldest brother fiercely, and like the Young dragon he is a most pussiant warrior and lover of justice. He shall avenge the young dragon and our murdered kin!!! For King Daemon!!!
If we consider that history is a wheel, then: Aegon IV = Robert/Rhaegar/Illyrio Aemon = Jaime Naerys = Cersei Daeron = Joffrey Daena = Lyanna/Serra Daemon = Stannis/Jon Snow/Young Griff
Egg: My father says that was because Daemon was a swordsman, and Daeron never was. Why give a horse to a man who cannot ride? The sword was not the kingdom, he says
It's a touching speech, but the truth is Ser Osgrey decided to support a rebel over his king. Why? Because Daemon was a better warrior than Daeron. A king doesn't need to be a great warrior. He need only be wise and brave, which Daeron was. With words Daeron the Good was able to bring Dorne into the Iron Thrones fold, which not even Aegon the Conqueror couldn't do with his dragons. Ser Eustace couldn't see this truth even after the loss because doing that would be to admit that his ambition is what that got his House destroyed. It is easier to forgive than ask for forgiveness.
While I agree with his point about how winners decide who get remembered as honorable and true. In his case that does equate to the same thing they one hundred percent were traitors they caused chaos and destruction across the realm to further themselves. They just made up lies to justify such a thing.
I don’t feel bad for Osgrey at all. He chose his side, the wrong one, with an ungrateful usurper. Considering how these Blackfyre supporters responded to King Daeron’s mercy, Bloodraven’s lack of mercy was the right way to go.
Yeah, Eustace was wrong on many levels. True, Daemon bore the sword, but Daeron bore the title of Prince of Dragonstone, which was the title of the King's heir. And Aegon IV, for all of his threats and nasty disposition, never removed him from his position as heir. Even on his deathbed, despite legitimizing all of his bastards out of sheer spite, Aegon IV never removed Daeron as heir. Even if we take Daemon being legitimate by the point Aegon IV died, Daeron was still Prince of Dragonstone, still the official heir, and a whole seventeen years older. Heck, Daemon was the same age as his oldest kid. Daeron never usurped anything. He was legally the Crown Prince his entire life, and as being the King's eldest son and heir. Ser Eustace went after a king who was always meant to be there, and had clearly been doing a good job for over a decade (he was called The Good before the First Rebellion). Also, I'm sorry, but one of his main 'selling points'? Daemon was physically impressive, Daeron was not. The fact that Daeron had clearly ruled well for a decade, to Eustace, did not equal the fact that Daemon was athletic. Daeron never made Ser Eustace small. He had been small to begin with.
@@larochejaquelein3680 A rumour made 21 years after Daeron was born, when Aegon IV and Daeron were feuding, and was immediately proven false (in Westerosi standards) through a trial by combat :)
@@enrajbroin In truth it matters not forgetting the false born is an oath breaker and a traitor. Where's the Justice for the young dragon, Daeron's very own namesake. His home was murdered under a banner of truce where is the Justice for murdered king and kin. Like Beirut before him, Daeron the 2nd is an oath breaker as he refuses to honor the Pact of Ice and Fire. Why should he marry a Dornish snake when there are many a daughter of Winterfell who deserve such an honor. Especially when it was Cregan Stark who ensured the Blacks were victorious in the Dance.
Lady Rohanne Webber. I suggest reading the novellas. She features a lot in the one this speech is taken from. She later marries into the Lannister line and is the Grandmother of Lord Tywin.
Them’s fighting words. A man screws up a couple pronunciations, and misremembers a couple voices between books amidst over 200 hours of audiobook, over 500 unique voices and 2000 named characters (not including other proper nouns,) and suddenly he’s a pariah. Valkyrist is a great speaker don’t get me wrong, but Dotrice has his fair share of performance at least equal to this one here. Go listen to Manderly’s false friends speech read to the Stark theme. That’s some good stuff.

@Lucimyr thats why He hated bloodraven. Because she loved His brother and not Bittersteel.
@Lucimyr because He was a bitter man. He was a loser. He lost everything to bloodraven. Including His king.
Aegon reborn!
Beautiful
can someone please tell me the songs in this video? Or the genres to which they belong?
Not to hate on the audiobook, but this is how the speech should have been red, especially the end, damn that was so good!
What is the music called in this?
Kill zone 3 theme
Deamon blackfrye thr 1 true king
It's a touching speech, but the truth is Ser Osgrey decided to support a rebel over his king. Why? Because Daemon was a better warrior than Daeron. A king doesn't need to be a great warrior. He need only be wise and brave, which Daeron was. With words Daeron the Good was able to bring Dorne into the Iron Thrones fold, which not even Aegon the Conqueror couldn't do with his dragons. Ser Eustace couldn't see this truth even after the loss because doing that would be to admit that his ambition is what that got his House destroyed. It is easier to forgive than ask for forgiveness.

While I agree with his point about how winners decide who get remembered as honorable and true. In his case that does equate to the same thing they one hundred percent were traitors they caused chaos and destruction across the realm to further themselves. They just made up lies to justify such a thing.

What's the music used here?
Killzone 3 soundtrack
Which book is this from? Is it one of the supplementary books?
The Sworn Sword
I don’t feel bad for Osgrey at all.
He chose his side, the wrong one, with an ungrateful usurper.
Considering how these Blackfyre supporters responded to King Daeron’s mercy, Bloodraven’s lack of mercy was the right way to go.
What is this from? Not the original series???
no, this is from the "A Knight of the Seven Kingdom" the second novel it is also get adaptation from HBO and it has also adapte into comics
Yeah, Eustace was wrong on many levels. True, Daemon bore the sword, but Daeron bore the title of Prince of Dragonstone, which was the title of the King's heir. And Aegon IV, for all of his threats and nasty disposition, never removed him from his position as heir. Even on his deathbed, despite legitimizing all of his bastards out of sheer spite, Aegon IV never removed Daeron as heir.
Even if we take Daemon being legitimate by the point Aegon IV died, Daeron was still Prince of Dragonstone, still the official heir, and a whole seventeen years older. Heck, Daemon was the same age as his oldest kid.
Daeron never usurped anything. He was legally the Crown Prince his entire life, and as being the King's eldest son and heir. Ser Eustace went after a king who was always meant to be there, and had clearly been doing a good job for over a decade (he was called The Good before the First Rebellion).
Also, I'm sorry, but one of his main 'selling points'? Daemon was physically impressive, Daeron was not. The fact that Daeron had clearly ruled well for a decade, to Eustace, did not equal the fact that Daemon was athletic.
Daeron never made Ser Eustace small. He had been small to begin with.
Umm you do know that Daeron is the BASTARD of Aemon the false Knight? That makes DAEMON the rightful king. Simple maths.
@@larochejaquelein3680 Daeron would have been lucky to not have come from someone as vile as Aegon IV
@@larochejaquelein3680 Ah, yes, Let's take the asshole Aegon IV at face value.
@@larochejaquelein3680 A rumour made 21 years after Daeron was born, when Aegon IV and Daeron were feuding, and was immediately proven false (in Westerosi standards) through a trial by combat :)
@@enrajbroin In truth it matters not forgetting the false born is an oath breaker and a traitor. Where's the Justice for the young dragon, Daeron's very own namesake. His home was murdered under a banner of truce where is the Justice for murdered king and kin. Like Beirut before him, Daeron the 2nd is an oath breaker as he refuses to honor the Pact of Ice and Fire. Why should he marry a Dornish snake when there are many a daughter of Winterfell who deserve such an honor. Especially when it was Cregan Stark who ensured the Blacks were victorious in the Dance.
Who is the woman with the red hair ?
Lady Rohanne Webber. I suggest reading the novellas. She features a lot in the one this speech is taken from. She later marries into the Lannister line and is the Grandmother of Lord Tywin.

Killzone, nice.
Well, Daemon was still a rebel though.
He was the king
@@spacemarine9801 of rebels, sure.
@@Ravi9A incorrect I’m afraid he was king of the andals and first men lord of the seven kingdoms and protector of the realm
@@spacemarine9801 rebel who died a dog's death.

Dragon eggs are extremely valuable. They could be sold or traded. Quick finger was a thief that was allied to Daemon
You sound like a show watcher!
Begone!
Genuinely, Roy Dotrice is the least talented voice artist in the history of speaking.
Them’s fighting words. A man screws up a couple pronunciations, and misremembers a couple voices between books amidst over 200 hours of audiobook, over 500 unique voices and 2000 named characters (not including other proper nouns,) and suddenly he’s a pariah. Valkyrist is a great speaker don’t get me wrong, but Dotrice has his fair share of performance at least equal to this one here. Go listen to Manderly’s false friends speech read to the Stark theme. That’s some good stuff.
