so i've just noticed on my map near the bay of crabs some of the text from the old version of it has somehow appeared the 'bs' i have no idea how long it's been like that. i guess i must have accidentally edited the wrong one and saved over the source file , not sure. Anyway have fixed it now and it's currently in the process of saving. Issue with my workflow is even tiny changes on the map takes a long time given the file size is over 26gb on the full resolution master copy. Anyway as long as Premier Pro and After Effects don't have a meltdown with the change the map should be back to normal next video.
You can see how Egg was forced to face reality fast when he became King. He had peered behind the curtain from his sheltered early youth and seen how hard life was for the vast majority of the people he ruled over. He hoped to be a champion for them and show other nobles the way-forgetting that many were not as blind as he had been, but instead were coldly pragmatic and selfish in clinging to power. Every failure makes him more desperate-as a boy prince far removed from the throne he had been unable to do much, and even now as king he found himself unable to make the grand changes he had likely dreamed of if only the crown happened to rest on his head one day. Sadly that desperation, and his dreams of being a second Conqueror remaking the world would lead to great tragedy.
I hate to be the one but this is not correct. Egg in comparison to other Royal Targ’s grew up as a “commoner” . Moving throughout the 7 kingdoms with a poor hedge knight, sleeping under tree’s and not in castles. Egg spent many of his younger years having to pretend he was actually not a royal for his safety. Im not saying you didnt read the 3 books but if you did I DONT SEE HOW YOU READ THEM AND CAME TO THIS CONCLUSION 😂.
@@lukewestwest yeah he lived as a conmoner but before that he was spoiled. Once he started traveling with Dunk he picked up a different kind of idealism and naivety. He saw the plight of the commoners firsthand and wanted to help them.
Then he torched his family with Summerhall. Had he succeeded, he would have been the male version of Daenerys, a tyrannical dragon using his will to force change under the cloak of righteousness.
For Lord Edwyle Stark warden of the north for Aegon Targaryen the Fifth of His Name. Marriage for love in Westeros is never good especially when your highborn crossing the wrong lord can lead to your death or maybe worse for your house later down the line. Some cases it works.
I think this may be the most tragic character because we read how he grows up when he begins as a squire for Dunk. He’s just a boy with a sharp wit. It’s conflicting that he put his family at risk like this and was responsible for Dunk and most of his families death…sad
i did consider it and still might, i will likely cover it in a general spin off round up video i have planned. I suspect @thedragondemands5186 will do something about it at some point as well
Very infected by the sight of the base of the pyramid. Undermining the power of the Lords and even himself little by little, his reforms were clearly unplanned and he never let “the boy die”. Not only that, his obsessive search for dragons to enforce his reforms shows that what he really wanted was to transform himself into an absolutist King.
What i find interesting is Dunk and Egg sets this aspect of his character up really well. From a young age he seems to of had an obsession with hatching a dragon, and we kind of see him wish he had one to enforce his will. So GRRM definitely set this aspect of his character up well
That match falling apart was more due to Olenna than Daeron. Daeron was very likely gay, and Olenna saw more benefit in becoming Lady of the Reach than a princess married to a son far from the throne so she likely arranged a scandal and Daeron just went along with it. He was fairly subdued for a Targaryen prince and mostly remained unremarkable and dutiful until he died in the rebellions led by The Rat, The Hawk, and The Pig.
Aegon was as his grandson, he set the stage for the Targaryens to lose power as his hostilities would have still been in living memory during Aerys reign. While yes he helped the smallfolk, it didn't appear to be efficient policies since they were taken away after his reign. While yes the highborn can be stubborn, it is usually beneficial to have the highborn approval as one policy may work for the North but it can a disaster in Stormlands.
He was mad under that kind facade. He was obsessed with keeping his power and awakening/hatching dragons. Aemon should have been king. And dismissing me was his biggest mistake. I single handedly kept the power and fear of the iron throne alive.
It still baffles me to this day how you can be a good to great Targaryen King and yet it doesn't matter if your succesion seems secure in the son/grandson front. You get stillbirths, unfortunate deaths, pandemics and civil wars. The Targaryens are cursed .

His children also didn't made it any easier for him. Instead of securing new alliances, they only made him new enemies.

@@kevinneutzling8267 see now that take i can easily agree with haha.
King egg was one of the best kings of Westeros and a great man I hope we get to see more of his reign
Yes….until he accidentally burned down Summerhall, wiping out much of House Targaryen. Knowing this will make watching AKOTSK a bit bittersweet.
Then he torched his family with Summerhall. Had he succeeded, he would have been the male version of Daenerys, a tyrannical dragon using his will to force change under the cloak of righteousness.

That’s fair but before that he was a fair king but that certainly is a dampen on his legacy

An important chapter from an important history book that later a very bookish Targaryen Prince neglected to read.

Just curious is anybody going to cover the recent news on 10 thousand ships being shelved or is that old news? Haven’t seen anybody talk about it?
Wait, what
Were these the ships Aurane stole?
The nymeria one coming to Dorne was a planned spinoff

Targaryens are better when they breed with valaryen
Aegon I Targaryen
Jaeherys I Targaryen.
Daeron the young dragon?
Baelor the blessed?
Daena the defiant?
BTW, iirc Daeron was the Targ Olenna was supposed to marry.

And by the time of Tywin, these were all already reversed
It was Tywin who reversed them
Tywin did it to gain favor or political status. aristocracy loves political powers. they would never give up power

Might wanna put V after aegon the first time, it’s confusing otherwise when it’s so far down the title
