Exactly neither of them can really even remember why anymore. The Blackwoods think the Brackens poisoned their weirwood. Both sides claim they were kings before the Andals came and the other were upstarts. The ironborn likely encouraged the feud. Every marriage between them (yes the obvious solution has been tried multiple times) seems to end in tragedy or the sides go back to war soon after.
It goes to show how used the realm was to peace that one small battle fought mostly as a local conflict had such a ripple effect. Jaeharys and Viserys had given the realm a long period without major internal conflict. Daemon capturing House Bracken’s seat was expected with his dragon but the fact that resistance collapsed in the riverlands afterwards was significant.
I think the Brackens and the Blackwoods were simply looking for an excuse to restart their longstanding feud, using the larger civil war as a convenient cover
Tensions are already high and then the stability was taken away. The 100 years war in real life started over a cattle dispute between two feuding families. It didn't last 100 years, but they decimated their own population and it took 100 years to clean up. Imagine being a 16 something picking up an 80 year old corpse and being like, I never thought I'd see this road this clear of bodies
Can’t wait to see the Blackwoods & Black Aly in action already seeing the brackens & blackwoods get into over a simple dispute at storm ends says a lot they really can’t stand one another.Stunt me how Robb Stark got both of them on his side.. Then seeing Daemon on caraxes this has to be one of the first episodes of season 2..
Thank you buddy for these story's, help go along with the show and give that extra background! Im paused at the start of this conflict on HOTD right now!😎
The Blackwoods and Brackens are a glimpse into Westeros during the Andal invasions. Various First men and Andal lords finding any excuse to grab land from one another.
It's custom made, but using the map from The Lands Of Ice and Fire as a template. As it turns out even the detailed westeros version is missing loads of key places such as Raventree hall so i need to go back and add them in and finish Essos. Just the file size is getting unworkable which is why its taken so long to even get it to this point
@@WorldOfWesteros ah, if it's your own custom job I won't copy it :) --- someone said they're going to send me a higher resolution scan of the Lands of Ice & Fire maps I can use for battle videos...
I wished they had showed the battle on HOD but they didn't smh.....but the soldier in yellow was killed by his own sword when they showed him fallen on the battlefield...
@@evannesbitt7852nah it’s truth. Bracken know how to fight. Blackwood’s don’t. They only engage in battle once they have people on the hills with their opponents in sight to kill if Blackwood or guys who their support lose one on one match
@@bub6010 a single scene interaction isn't deep investment. It would be like showing the Dance of Dragons immediately after Aemond's eye was taken. We have now established in the show that they have an untraceable rivalry and had started a chain of events where more important battles will take place with them under it.
I love the rivalry between the Bracken and the Blackwood: they hate each other and they shouldn't even know why

Ser Simon Strong: "Well, The answer to that was..............lost in time"
Yeah, no shit🤣 Typical "noble" houses and families with their bloody feuds
@@kevinneutzling8267 Essentially they marry, and then about 1 to 2 generations later something sets them off

Fear of Dragons truly does wonders for a war effort. Even when both sides have them
Don’t think anyone want to see what Caraxes would do to there army and believe me Daemon would show them the true meaning of fire & blood.
The riverlands like their namesake, would at first be small ripples, that hold the potential to become a flood
Here after tonight’s episode 🐉
Disappointed we didn't actually SEE the battle. Just the aftermath.
@@masteroftheassassinsBudget on the dragons
I Hope we something like Rhaenys Battle or Kingslanding ending
@@Morfe02 Next episode
@@masteroftheassassinsFacts I was so hyped too.
Shame. They could've at least show a split second scene of the battle.
My god the Dance seems way more interresting in the books than what we got on TV
Obviously

George is really something else to have created all of this lore on his own.
Most peaceful Blackwood-Bracken interaction

Robb had that charisma and silver tongue, I suppose
Ah the calmest Blackwood and Bracken moment in history
What an amazing battle with such history / rivalry between the two houses... I can't wait for this battle to be conducted off screen lolz
Saving budget for more important fights
And for it to have almost no consequences
@@lordkonzilla7890it did have consequences as greens lost their support in riverlands
@@arunsingla3452 in the show they didnt show any of that
@@Gtex555After seeing that terrible finale all I got to say is what battles? LMAO, if anything they should have given us this battle atleast.
Love that we are seeing this even in the trailer
You are very consistent
"Aye, the Blackwoods did really turned the tide on that one"
Awesome Job as always my friend!!
What is up with the Riverlands and their "damn mills".
You need water fir a mill...
Thank you buddy for these story's, help go along with the show and give that extra background! Im paused at the start of this conflict on HOTD right now!😎
Very common House Blackwood W.
Also VERY common House Bracken L
Homorless Blackwood scum
Battle of th Burning Mill one of greatest battle between Blackwood and Bracken.
Battle of the red grass fields...
Hope we see this in next week :p
😢
We got the aftermath, but I think it has a lot to do with the next episodes battle

We're going to see this in Season 2!!
Seems not.
We didn't.
Who’s here after Hotd season 2
It happened. We saw the windmill
@@AmusedCoffee-ym3gb Well technically...you saw aftermath of the battle. But not the battle itself.

So who’s the bracken that got stabbed by his own sword ?
Who’s else is after episode 4
The crazy part is thier a much Bracken blood as thier is Blackwood blood on each side
I wished they had showed the battle on HOD but they didn't smh.....but the soldier in yellow was killed by his own sword when they showed him fallen on the battlefield...
Brackens>>>>>Dead Tree People
Smells like copium in here

Aegor Cuckrivers vs Chandon Rivers. My choice is obvious.
@morvran9074 You say that when Seastar would actively tries to make to make Bloodraven jealous and cheat on him😄
@@aegorbittersteel2154lol got em
Where can I get this map?
First to take the black
Honorless Blackwoods
Imagine how people would think if they found out the battle started because some teenagers arguing over a rock 🐧
House Blackwood forever 🤍🖤♥️
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Can someone make an animated show? I’m so sick of not seeing any of the battles
I’m sure rooks rest will have a bunch of deviations because “ muh cgi”
You say “mUH cGi” as if they don’t eat up the entire budget of an episode.
Sorry I should have said “ HBO can do no wrong and I don’t want any battles”
Next episode will have a battle
didnt show any of this shit in the show smh
I like this version a lot better. Honestly after hearing the book version they did a horrible job depicting this in season 2.
Glad I’m not first
They skipped it!😢 why do i even watch this soap opera
Showing a battle between two houses we just met is a very emotionally uninvested affair
@@jerinmathew4726bro didn’t watch last season

they have no budget for brutal war
