Game of Thrones: Aegon's Conquest - Last Storm and Field of Fire DOCUMENTARY

Guys, it is a passion project for us and we hope that you will support us, as you always had in the past. Many, many more historical videos are in the works and you will enjoy this Sunday's video. If you are new here, go watch our historical documentaries - they are really good, at least my mom says so. :-) And if you enjoyed this episode - check out the instagram of the artist, who created it: instagram.com/otgunz/?fbclid=IwAR1M5k-U2byIvKVNQjmgtTgtkHPpAuCFuOi4fzkmG_LW80XMXlet89kS1oE

@@thetalesofelbek7042 I thought it was explained that Dragons are very intelligent, and over time they learn what's friend or foe, or dangerous.

What I love about is that Aegon was unique to fantasy. He wasn't an evil conquered hell bent on conquering just for conquest. He was a benevolent and merciful conqueror. He didnt flat out slaughter people. He gave them a chance and rewarded them and still allowed them to continue on with their customs. He only used violence when it was necessary. After the war he even adopted their customs and religions and made it a goal to maintain peace and improve relations with Westeros. He was a good good guy and a great king.

I'm actually surprised by the amount of dislike for any sort of fiction on this channel. Hell, I'm surprised that there are so many history purists here; as if facts of the past are /the only/ thing that matter. As if legends of old had no impact on history, or, on the contrary, impacted directly by history. A lot of this is apparently coming from the notion that this episode covers a "stupid popular TV show" - fair enough. I just am amused by this argument considering that this topic is rarely - if ever - covered in the show. Instead most of the info on this era in general comes from the ASoIaF books. If anyone's actually read the stuff, they'd instantly realize the appreciation G.R.R. Martin has for history and politics. If you look beyond the pawns moving across the map, you'd realize that war is an incredibly political and social ordeal. Martin writes knowing this, and I believe that deserves a level of respect and not an, "ew, fiction", response.

I agree. Martin's inspiration for these books is predominantly the War of the Roses in England. Can't remember when it happened.

No need to explain yourselves, love your content and I love the world of ice and fire lore. You just gave me both of my two favorite things. Keep up the sweet videos.

Thank you for watching!

Thou hast said the holy’st of words. Now thine retinue demande’th thine good sir, to compile the Period of Waring States, China and second period of waring states after the Han. Or the battles of LotR I don’t like ASOIAF at all, but, you at least made me like this video with the contents. Thats an achievement. Thanks for the upload. Keep it up.

Another great series of fictional battles comes from Forgotten Realms and the Drizzt series. I would be overwhelmed with joy if you guys every made a Dwarves vs Drow video from the lineup.

[@KingsandGenerals]

Battle of Keeper's Dale? Need to consider!

[@عٻڈآلْلْه]

I liked your work thank you أحببت عملك شكرا لك

[@Panic_Wot]

This is fantastic! Some of the battles in GOT are insane, and you guys would excel at teaching us about them! Keep it up!! !!

My great grandfather fought in this war he was on the targaryens side but got flamed by visenya. Friendly fire 💀

[@Pr0m3th3us]

Now look at that, you never stop surprising me in positive ways.

[@KingsandGenerals]

Happy to hear that. :-)

Damn I thought Battle of Mohacs was next. This video was great too though 👍

[@isabanusrat8085]

We need a show about Aegon’s Conquest!

[@theimp4705]

Hey guys, thx for creating all those awesome videos. Also i don`t think the fields of fire where planned to be a massacre. With "only" 4000 dead out of 55000 enemys, Aegon clearly tried to single out the two kings and their Lords. The wind blowing in the direction of the infantry might have caused many unintended burnings. Aegon is not the type off guy to kill thousands of soildiers for following their lord into battle. He might have even delayed his attack for an hour in hope the wind would calm down. In general most of the "historians" in the ASOIAF books are strait out liars trying to push their own narrative. Just like in real life... Have a wonderful day

@@KingsandGenerals Thanks for using the 'BC' terminology as well.

@@Olly07 I think, there is a debate between "BC" and "BL", but, I think, it is a minor thing.

[@jorenvanderark3567]

@Adversary VR What exactly do you think happened when the andals (and i am not talking about the war of the five kings but wars before the conquest) invaded the north time and time again where exactly? Picnics?

[@vaibhavkumarpatil1425]

@Adversary VR starks didn't surrendered to andal invaders, they were the only to defeat them(andals) that's why northerners worship tree gods and not faith of seven because this religion was brought by andal invaders, but yes they(andals)did conquered half of the westros that's why i wrote it separately.

[@jorenvanderark3567]

@Adversary VR He mentioned it twice yes (a bit redundant i know) but its still the only one that fits, besides the starks and southern kingdoms continued squabbling long after the andal invasion was "officially" over.
