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

[@KingsandGenerals]

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.

[@drakashrakenburgproduction5369]

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.

There was a tiny detail that you missed that you guys might have found important but the Tullys and the rest of the river lords rebelled against the ironborn when Aegon began to siege of Harenhall and drove them back to the Iron Islands. This crucially made sure Aegon wasn't bogged down in the area for too long . This doesn't detract from the video though, thank you for the hard work!

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.

Me thinks he doth protest too much!

[@joeskys2362]

OH YES ,FUCK YES. My two most favorite things Game of thrones and, king and ,generals together. Today is a good day!

[@KingsandGenerals]

Happy to hear that!

[@cihanyildiz9]

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

[@RockyTheRooster]

History and Fantasies make me Love this channel even more

[@KingsandGenerals]

Thank you!

[@Storms7End]

Should really do all of Aegon's Conquests, including the the subjugation of the Riverlands, the Vale of Arryn, and the failed invasions of Dorne.

[@KingsandGenerals]

We'll see!

[@Storms7End]

Looking forward to the Blackfyre Rebellions!

[@thearmada6248]

Well the fall of the Vale wasn't due to a fight and the Riverlands joined Aegon against Harren.

[@prof.cecilycogsworth3204]

I'm so glad you're going to do an entire series dedicated to GRRM's saga!

[@oddlyparadox4694]

Absolutely amazing this video i watched all 7 seasons of Game of Thrones(also season 8 hype!) and its nice to see the history before Game of Thrones happened presented in this format(in fact a good part of the World of Ice and Fire timeline happens before Game of Thrones some parts of it are just less detailed if i remember right,not sure though) anyway great video as always and honestly a fantasy video from time to time is a nice change of pace from all of the history documentaries(the history documentaries are still amazing though keep them up)

[@KingsandGenerals]

Thanks! :-)

[@goldengonzogaming2664]

This is pretty much every battle in Aegon's Conquest. "Aegon's forces go up against a bigger, more experienced, and battle-hardened foe, and right before they get their shit pushed in - dragons."

[@thereviewers30303]

This is much better then the real game of thrones.

[@KingsandGenerals]

Thanks :-)

[@HxH2011DRA]

*YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!* THIS STORY WITH THIS EDITING STYLE IS PERFECT!!

[@Nessuno2030]

I can't watch this without thinking about how bad the writers f**ked the tv show up...But The North Remembers! (referring to seasons 6 and 7 of course) Great video! :)

[@KingsandGenerals]

Thanks! :-)

[@explosiongames11]

season 6 was better than 5 and 7, it redemed it's self because the last 2 episodes were so good

[@budakbaongsiah]

The TV shows forgets.

[@aaryansolkar6629]

Nessuno lmao add season 8 too

[@Jacob-vf8hu]

This was awesome. Thank you sir!

[@KingsandGenerals]

Thanks for watching!

[@Ulfur87]

Please do more like these, this is really awesome. Could even consider doing Warrhammer or LOTR lore, a lot of content thier. Keep it up

[@KingsandGenerals]

Planning more!

[@jonathanbaco5931]

I have been watching your videos for almost two years now. A big fan here!

[@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

[@ozman8247]

and my day got better

[@KingsandGenerals]

Good to hear. :-)

[@Woman.Respecter]

What does BC stand for in this context

[@KingsandGenerals]

"Before Conquest"

[@Woman.Respecter]

@@KingsandGenerals ah right, that makes sense. Thanks

[@boltonforthenorth5466]

before "dragon" christ. the dragon part is removed cuse bdc sounds stupid.

[@PanzerIVAE]

Yeah BC and AC in ASoIaF stands for "Before Conquest" and "After Conquest" Aegon The Conqueror is that significant that the calendar is based around him

[@CamelsHighOnCrayons]

@@PanzerIVAE Wonder what other calendars there are outside of Westeros. Braavos would probably start from the founding of Braavos or when the Moonsinger slaves escaped slavery. The rest probably use the fall of Valyria, except possibly the Ghiscari people - which could use the founding of the Ghis Empire or something to do with The Harpy.

[@Hugo_Tate]

6:48 love how the hand symbol looks like its flipping you off lol

[@timonlindtner1818]

If there were no dragons...

[@ShortSideSniper17]

but that's the only reason they went for global conquest in the first place

[@timonlindtner1818]

@@ShortSideSniper17 yes i know but a little unfair about kills

[@Dornan77802]

The Targaryens could have gone for Essos, and they had actually once been offered an alliance by Volantis (who had been the strongest Free City at that point and would have actually supported a reformed Freehold with the Targaryens at the head). I guess Westeros for whatever reason interested them more than Essos (I suppose it doesn't help that Argilac and the Durrandons were in a vulnerable position with a weakening grip on their lands and vassals, a lack of a direct line male heir (you can probably see how unpopular that decision made Argilac and Argella especially, among some of the lords), and Argilac had technically been dealing with the crap left behind by incompetent predecessors (granted Argilac was as a arrogant as his moniker implies).

[@jeffreyferiguraii1865]

Then they won't win against the wights.

[@creepiesky7811]

then there's no magic.

[@justinfenton9983]

ZOMG! I had been actually thinking this channel would put all the other "lore" channels regarding ASOIAF to shame but never knew if this was the sort of thing the channel would do. Really hope this gets enough love so we can see other videos like the Ghiscari wars, Dance of Dragons and so on.

[@aidabagirova4933]

You are doing great - both historical content and fantasy. Dislikes - it happens, people are conservative by nature. I'm also not a big fan of fantasy, but I liked this video as a high professional work of your team. Thank you!

[@saadmanh]

Love the channel. Glad you guys took the time to make this.
