I like how Aegon V's sons all had uncommon relationships for the Targaryens at that point in time: Duncan married a common girl and gave up his claim to the throne. Jaehaerys II returned to Targaryen incest which when I thought about it hadn't happened in the direct line of succession for generations. Previously, Aegon V, Maekar I, and Daeron II all married non Targaryen women. And lastly Daeron was rumored to be gay which was also unique with the Targaryens and died with his lover

Jennyusy is so elite she had a Targaryen prince renounce his inheritance to be with her .

Jenny

[@Mister_Kourkoutas]

“High in the halls of the kings who are gone, Jenny would dance with her ghosts. They spun her around on the damp old stones, spun away all her sorrow and pain. And she never wanted to leave, Never wanted to leave, Never wanted to leave, Never wanted to leave . . . They danced through the day and into the night, through the snow that swept through the hall. From winter to summer and winter again ‘till the walls did crumble and fall. And she never wanted to leave, Never wanted to leave, Never wanted to leave, Never wanted to leave, And she never wanted to leave, Never wanted to leave, Never wanted to leave, Never wanted to leave . . .”

“High in the halls of the kings who are gone, Jenny would dance with Her ghosts” - Jenny of old stones the song I heard for the first time when Podric sings it at Winterfell.. Love that song that song & The Rains Of castamere by Serj Tankian from System Of A Down. I’ve wanted to know the story behind this woman.. Didn’t Rhaegar sing a song about her at the Great Tourney at Harrenhall? This is a video I’ve been waiting for !! Lord commander I see you!! Get us some wine for the brother bittersteel!!

Not just any ghost. *Her* ghosts. The ones she had found, and the ones she had lost, and the ones who had loved her the most.

[@kevinneutzling8267]

If only Duncan the Tall had been able to give his namesake a few clouts in the ear. Imagine going into combat against a man who helped save your life because the son of your friend and sworn king had selfishly insulted him. Also let’s not forget poor Rhaelle-while it seems the marriage turned out well enough she was plucked from her home and sent off to the home of a proud man who had just rebelled against her family.

[@ВелиалВинчестер]

This is a big mistake. Aegon Targaryan should have killed the Baratheons and should not have allowed his daughter to marry a traitor. If Aegon 5 had killed the Baratheons, Robert would not have killed Rhaegar.

[@kevinneutzling8267]

@@ВелиалВинчестер if he had massacred the Baratheons it would’ve been almost as bad as Aerys II killing the Starks. Lyonel agreed to single combat to settle the rebellion after minimal bloodshed. He could’ve executed Lyonel and reduced the Baratheons power by forcing Ormund to implement his reforms, and maybe that would’ve been smarter but wiping out the house would’ve led to chaos.

[@Jake-h7g]

Judging by what we know of Dunk, I think he would have approved of Duncan the small marrying Jenny

[@kevinneutzling8267]

@@Jake-h7g Duncan knows full well that when princes make decisions like this, it’s the smallfolk who suffer. He ended the rebellion quickly before much blood could be lost, but even in his victory he likely wasn’t happy. His friend and king had to give up his youngest daughter as a hostage, and any chance of the Stormlands willing accepting Egg’s reforms and making their subjects lives better instantly evaporated.

For the past few weeks I've been catching up on this series and I love it so much but now i don't know what to do with myself between posts...

[@WorldOfWesteros]

i'm glad you like the videos :)

[@lizd.8655]

I'd be very interested to see this part of Targaryen history in HOTD. I pity Aegon the Unlikely since his 5 children resulted in 4 broken betrothals. Yes, Egg chose love himself but he wasn't in line for the throne then. He tried to take his brother Aemon's advice to "kill the boy and let the man be born" once he became king but that failed miserably

[@WorldOfWesteros]

i do think a lot of the issues he faced as king was down to the very fact he was never expected to be king and thus didn't have the preparation others heirs did. Maybe if Maekar had lived longer things may have played out differently.

[@ВелиалВинчестер]

Aegon 5's biggest mistake was not executing the Baratheons.

Jenny of oldstones Tis a beautiful but tragic story!

[@thomascherry2281]

It’s implied that Jenny was a see’r and her friend being a child of the forest very probable that Jenny was an agent working on behalf of bloodraven who is well established as three eyed at this point and knows that the targ line cannot continue through Duncan so Jenny bewitched him which is actually a kinder fate than befell other targ princes and kings… Often thought of the ramifications of no Jenny and it’s a typical grrm set up and bait situation. That man is just so impressive.

High in the halls of the kings who are gone Jenny would dance with her ghosts The ones who'd been gone for so very long She couldn't remember their names They spun her around on the damp old stones Spun away all her sorrow and pain And she never wanted to leave Never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave They danced trough the day and into the night Trough the snow that swept through the hall From winter to summer to winter again 'Til the walls dud crumble and fall And she never wanted to leave never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave And she never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave High in the halls of the kings who are gone Jenny would dance with her ghosts The ones she had lost and the ones she had found And the ones Who had loved her the most

[@philippeblais8594]

Wonder what happened to Jenny after the tragedy of Summerhall abd the death of her husband?

[@Maegorthecrueltargaryen]

She probably died there with Duncan

[@nunyabiznes33]

She's very likely dead. Her friend the Ghost of High Heart manage to return to the Riverlands and still cry whenever she listen to Jenny's song.

[@aprilmae274]

It might look like a love story on the surface-but LOOK at what this marriage does to the targaryens specifically and the world in general.

I think Barristan actually defeated Duncan the Tall not the small at the Winter Tourney. Makes sense given Duncan is notorious for losing jousts.
