Robert Baratheon’s grandma was princess Rhaelle Targaryen. She was the aunt to the Mad King

or so they say. only maesters care for such things. Robert was king because he had a big hammer and a big army

@@godemperorofmankind3.091 Right. But the reason the war started was because of these bloodlines that made someone feel threatened and made someone else feel justified to join the rebellion.

[@locutusoflulz]

@@GeekFurious exactly. Which is why Robert became king and not Ned. Even though it was Ned's family's death that kicked off the rebellion, Robert had a better claim due to his grandmother and the Baratheon house founder being Aegon the Conqueror's bastard half brother.

Jon Arryn is the major influence on how Ned is as a person and what he represents. The Arryns words are “As high as honor”. Ned is so honorable because of Jon. Not because the Starks are honorable. Sure, there might be some honorable people, but the Starks are usually not like Ned. Far from that.

Going off the hours of GRRM interviews/podcast I’ve watched where he’s said the names numerous times, I would’ve written Jorah as [ Jor-rah ] for clarity (he’s not Joe Rogan haha). And while yes, Jeor is spelt [ gee-or ] it’s not supposed to be drawn out. George RR Martin pronounces it as “Jor” like the beginning of Jorah’s name. And that was his entire intent behind the names, it’s a play on the real world father/son naming practice of Jack/Jackson, Will/Wilson, Harris/Harrison etc. So I’ve always heard it as Jor/Jorah. Jorah is literally “son of Jeor” That being said while I myself and GRRM pronounce it that way as Americans, he based the series off the history of the British Isles so I have no clue how they would say it over there. And give the Aussies some slack, it’s a made up name by an American author.

There was a mistake made, it was Robert's paternal grandmother who was the Targaryen princess, not his mother. Also, the wife of Stannis is from the Reach noble family of Florent, not Hightower.

The show took out a generation and skipped from Aegon V to Mad King Aerys. In season 1, Maestor Aemon says, "When I heard they killed my brother's son, and his son..." or something to that affect. When, in the books it was his brother's grandson and great-grandson (and great-great-grandson).

[@soulscyther666]

You know the name of Jojen and Meera's father? Howland Reed. And they say his castle moves. It's a reference to Howl's Moving Castle. An old fantasy novel which many might have heard through the Ghibli anime adaptation. It isn't exactly explained how the castle moves, or even if that was true. Like Meera said, little is known about them the Reeds, even with the Northerners. And the ones who dared to find them never returned. But since it's marsh and they live in "floating islands", logically it might meant their "castle" moves with the water. But we couldn't rule out it being really magical, it's still a fantasy series after all.

[@bobdonda]

I never got that reference before. Thank you

Stannis's wife is a Florent, not a Hightower. Both are houses from the Reach. Jorah's estranged wife is a Hightower, and Margaery and Loras's mother is a Hightower. Lady Olenna isn't a Tyrell by blood - she was born a Redwyne and married into the Tyrells, but she fits the matriarch role House Tyrell seems to have very well.

[@RazorbackX99]

Non-spoiler correction: Yes, the blade used to cut off "Theon's favorite toy" was the heirloom blade of the House Bolton, and Ramsey was seen holding it in the scene foreboding the mutilation.

Selyse Baratheon who is Stannis’ wife is not a Hightower, she is from house Florent. It does say that but it was right after they mentioned Hightower so I can see how you’s got confused.

[@AllTheArtsy]

The Reed siblings are NOT wargs. Remember, the term for people who can inhabit the minds of animals is "skinchanger." "Warg" is specifically for those who can enter dogs and wolves. Jojen has the "green dreams" but he himself is not a "greenseer" or someone who can see time through the weirwood trees. That is a far more powerful magic.

[@carriesmith742]

Lena Heady is a fantastic actress. Peter Dinklage, who plays Tyrion and was cast first had worked with her before and recommended her for the role of Cersei. She said that she always loved Comic-con because no one swarmed around her because of how hated her character was. She took it like a pro and sawit as a reflection on her acting, as she should've. I saw her do the celebrity with Bear Grylls where they do survival hiking in the wilderness and she was GREAT! I thought the story about the Unsullied besting the Dothraki was my favorite. Season 4 is probably my favorite so I hope you enjoy!

When it comes to Essos especially, it seems like you would benefit from reacting (or just looking) to the map of the known world. Essos is huge and seeing it next to Westeros should put things into perspective. Its also cool to see the journey Dany has been through purely geographically. If you are interested to learn more about the world, well, theres a book with a lot of beautiful illustrations and lore texts that is called... "The World of Ice and Fire". Yes, pretty straightforward name.

He was the son of Lord Dondarrion's steward. 1:14:54 House Hightower of course is the house of Ser Otto, the hand of the king, and his daughter, the Dowager Queen Alicent. I believe we will see Oldtown in season 2 of HotD. 1:18:45 No. Stannis is NOT married to a Hightower. He's married to a Florent, another House in the Reach.

[@avie27]

Robert's Targaryen blood has actually two sources. His claim to the throne is strong because of that royal blood. One: Founder of House Baratheon was Aegon the Conquerer's bastard brother so they already start with Targaryen blood. Two: A Targaryen king's daughter Rhaella married into the house and gave birth to Steffon Baratheon, Robert, Stannis and Renly's father. Thus their Targaryen blood is apparent in recent memory as well.

[@stevesaturnation]

That was fun, one thing about referring to the brutal violence and reminding us you’re speaking of “this world, “ no need for that. :) Most all of the non-magical bad things that happen in the GoT universe are loosely based on very similar events from “our world.” George RR Martin has said many times that events like the Red Wedding are just reimagined fictional versions of actual real world events from our history. The suspiciously familiar “Black Wedding” was one of those historical events and as GRRM once said in an Entertainment Weekly interview “No matter how much I make up, there’s stuff in history that’s just as bad, or worse.” Another great video, I enjoyed watching all of that stuff again 😃

[@elegantkristin]

@@SpartanandPudgey Just try as much as you can to push the tv show characters out of your mind when you do. The book characters (and plot) are very different from one another.

[@nickrubin7312]

We saw Boltons dagger in one scene, before Theon was cut (during the scene when Ramsey sent girls to Theon)

I got chills when Jon said ice and fire

Now that you got pass season 3, you should react to the Lannister's song " Rains of Castamere" ( The house that got wipe out by Tywin Lannister). It starts to play in the Red Wedding, thats what got Caitlyn Stark suspicious, thats why she looks at the band.

[@Taewills]

Pudgey’s attempt at a “Hollywood” American accent is hilarious and so cute ☺️

[@JenLight]

Jor-ah is the son. Gee-or is the father who was the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch

[@BezoRazo]

1:38:47 - Bro, are you drinking Wildfire? 😄

[@TheMaskedChef7]

The stark sigils never looked so good 🐺 love the T-shirts guys.

[@matshaugen7843]

Watch the cinematic about the rains of castamere, you can easily find it on youtube. Probably the best of all the extra content.

[@HK-gm8pe]

I cant wait for you guys to react to season 4 , it was my favorite season , I am sure you guys are going to like it :)

[@Bibins_]

I mean you are technically wrong. Its Jeor Mormont not Joer. So its pronounced as JEE-YOR so the confusion with Jeor and Jorah should not have existed in the first place lmao,

[@markharris1125]

Yes, that's where the whole thing stems from, nothing to do with the delightful accents!

[@dizzeeb33]

I really enjoy these anymore and your reactions to them, so yes, please, keep doing them.

[@scotthadden9816]

Another one of GRRM's pop culture references hidden in names. In HOTD, you may have heard of Grover Tully (then head of House Tully), his grandson Elmo and his great-grandsons Kermit and Oscar, all named for Muppets, as Martin is a fan of them. In this, Greywater Watch is a castle on an island that floats around the swamps of The Neck, and it's current lord is Howland Reed. In other words, it's Howl's Moving Castle, a Studio Ghibli film from 2004.

[@cassandramcbride7007]

Thats why i love house tyrell. They play the game, like it was chess. And every move is for the future, and not for quick rage. They always seems to get from the situation without any mark. Aside from Dorne, the reach is the only that still have the army intact...They are near to rule the 7 kingdoms. They went from Renly the traitor, to lannisters saviors, to become the queen... lets see how things will go for them

[@sodblitz3445]

in season 3 episode 10 Roose Bolton tells Walder Frey the Black Fish got away

[@Hollygli]

The thing that these lore videos brings me back to is how insane GRRM's mind is to have created this entire world so meticulously. Hundreds of key families and people, major and minor milestones, geographic layouts. I feel like I'm watching a history lesson and then I go, "Hang on. None of this is real." Mind boggling.

[@ottovonbismarck7742]

Note: stannis isn't married to a hightower. He is married to selyse florent.

[@thecockerel86]

Stannis is married to a Florent. The Florents were related to House Gardner, giving them a very obvious claim to Highgarden when their liege house perished on the Field of Fire.

[@Socialmediasucks963]

Bobby B’s ancestor was Orys Baratheon - b*stard brother of Aegon the conqueror 😊

[@rudy_4ier]

Jeor Mormont's first name is so simple! no matter the accent! it's just JEE-OR. the end. whether or not you roll the 'r' in 'Jeor' isn't relevant. Americans will usually roll the r and Brits and Aussies usually won't, but the pronunciation is still the same and perfectly understandable! you guys seem to be pronouncing it as Jo-ah or something like that. it sounds like you thought there's an 'a' somewhere but there isn't.

[@vergil8833]

As far as the prophecy goes. The dragon must have three heads.

[@Golladan]

Roose is just ambitious. He was undermining the Starks pretty much from the start. And ramped it up when Winterfell fell.

[@roguecomics4775]

I said like 15 videos ago I knew spartan would love the unsullied

[@juljul184]

spartan saying tywin does things which seem harsh in the moment but makes peace in the long term is kind of funny, because, if anything, tywin causes a lot of problems for his own family in the long-term. his use of fear works in the short-term, but i think tywin is really shortsighted. he basically ruins his house's reputation by making everyone mistrust them. no one can take the lannisters in good faith anymore, especially not after the red wedding. tywin is described as machiavellian by some, but he fails to live up to it, because there is no balance of fear and love. and fear has a way of wearing out; once you live long enough in a state of fear, you become numb to it and stop caring. when tywin is faced with someone who has nothing left to lose, he can't win.

[@sodblitz3445]

it definitely did NOT say Stannis married a Hightower it said he married a Florent whos sigil is a fox

[@xxendersgamexx]

Thanks so much for including these extras! I am loving it.

[@Uulfinn]

Robert's paternal grandmother was a Targaryen. That's why Robert and Stannis have magic blood.

[@lukemanion2]

Danny was in Qarth in season 2 then Astapor where she got the Unsullied, Astapor is known for its training of the unsullied warriors. Yunkai was the end of the season where the crowd were calling her mother. Yunkai is mainly know for training sex slaves essentially which is why it was fairly easy to liberate the slaves because they were mostly not warriors. The other city is Meereen is a combination of sorts as well as seeming to be a bigger trading post, they also have fighting pits which are quite famous in this world.

[@briennesfatsister4788]

Qarth is the city Dani wound up in Season 2 after crossing the red waste (that desert.) It's South and West of Slaver's Bay. Astapor, Yunki, and Meereen are the three cities in Slaver's Bay. There's also New Ghis an island South of Slaver's Bay. Qohor is one of the free cities in the North West of Essos. Bran is a warg and skin-changer. Ramsey Snow is Roose's bastard son. Flaying is when you cut the skin off someone. It's basically the most painful way to kill someone. Even worse than burning because it can go on for hours and days. Brynden Tully is the Blackfish. Stanis is married to a Florent.

[@TheImaginationRealm]

Stannis' wife wasn't a Hightower she was a Florent

[@VonChoker]

just going to correct you around 1:01:01 Pudgey said a flayed man was someone spreadeagled upon a cross. the correct term would be splayed upon a cross. A flayed man is someone who has had their skin removed - very different

[@shinlanten]

*_"His mother was Targaryen"_* In the books it's actually Robert's grandmother Rahella Targaryen who was mother to Robert's Father Steffon Baratheon, not sure why the lore and show didn't go with this explanation. They even changed how maester Aemon is related to Daenarys 🤷

[@user-td4do3op2d]

House Manderley, particularly their lord Wyman, are fan favourite book characters, but they were unfortunately cut from the tv adaptation.

[@samataragon]

These lore videos are fantastic! Definitely keep doing them!!

[@sodblitz3445]

Jorahs fathers name is pronounced (Gee-or)
