Good god, George Martins mind was just running rampant when he wrote this story. It's remarkable that he was able to think all this out and keep it organized in his mind long enough to write it all out.

[@melissaadrian8591]

better mind then the show producers. They couldnt't keep track of people so they cut out huge chunks of family trees. And massacred the character of some. Like Doran Martell? He is made out to be some weak minded invalid who Ellaria kills? He is a bloody master mind out to destroy those who killed his sister, and has three children not one. His daughter Arianne kidnaps Mrycella who is alive in the books, to try and put her on the throne. Ellaria is a whimpering widow with four young kids, Oberyn's older daughters (with other women) are bad asses but they follow Arianne not their mother.

Rhaegar was already planning to start a rebellion to overthrow his father as soon as his father went overboard with his madness. He could've united the seven kingdoms under his rule but he fucked all his plans up when he fucked all of Lyanna Stark up.

Astherielle Mercadejas House Targaryen: Aegon Targaryen

[@zoeharris883]

@@liandry4951 I don't like the way the show named him Aegon. Rhaegar was married to Elia Martell before Lyanna Stark. With Elia he had a daughter named Rhaenys and a son named Aegon. High Septon Maynard's diary let us know that Rhaegar and Elia's marriage was annulled in the show. An annullment makes it so that the marriage never existed. It automatically made Rhaenys and Aegon bastards, whether their names were Sand or Waters we'll never know. But, naming Rhaegar's youngest son Aegon is just utterly stupid. That would have severely pissed off Dorne even more than they already were. Lord Commander Gerold Hightower, Ser Arthur Dayne, and Ser Oswell Whent would have known that. Lyanna in particular doesn't seem like the type of person who would do that. It's why I prefer thinking his name was actually Aemon but because Lyanna was dieing couldn't actually enunciate that clearly. Just my opinion on things

5:44 - Slight correction: Roberts *paternal* (not maternal, as you said) grandmother was the sister of King Jaehaerys II - still no male-line descendant, but under male-preference primogeniture (which at least most of Westeros agrees should be used) he's the legitimate heir (if you assume Viserys and Daenaerys dead, obviously).

after watching HOD's 4 episodes and GOT full series now I got to understand, from a person whom hasn't read any of their books, Thank you

[@Epsa_]

Now with house of the dragon we hear at the start of Episode 1, Rhaenyra says “the only thing that could tear down the house of the dragon, is itself.” Rhaegar proved that.

[@twstf8905]

I'm glad you did the show version! (Don't listen to the haters!) Not everyone is cool enough to have read the books. The, "casual fans," most likely make up the VAST majority of the people that would be watching this. I do wish you would have talked a little more about the Wildlings, the Tarleys, and Brienne of Tarth, even though they don't exactly fall into the overall family tree. To round out a little more context, if for no other reason. Other than that weak criticism, WELL DONE, MATE!! 👍

Extraordinary! Thank you for doing this! I love your work. The family trees are incredibly detailed and much appreciated!

Pardon me. I just saw this video and its already a few years after the very last episode. And I can say that it's a helpful refresh for some who tend to forget things (characters/events) over time. Very informative! ⭐👍🏼🍺

[@kauanbatista492]

So, Robert Baratheon actually had a grandparent from the House Targaryen? :0

[@fultonyt8989]

Kauan Batista yeah i’m also very surprised about that

[@seokjinkim8964]

Yeah. Baratheons have Targaryen blood

[@zoefezius6615]

As the Martells have Targaryen blood (Union through a double-marriage instead of a war)

[@jitbb8215]

And Brienne also have Targaryen blood.

[@johnlloydaleta206]

The founder of House Baratheon (Orys Baratheon) was known to be the bastard sibling of Aegon I, first Targaryen King of Westeros. They had some Targaryen blood since the beginning.

[@myejoves8478]

OMG, I finally understood the story of GoT! Thank you 😘

[@leiladiallo1639]

Great video ! It's an impressive load of work, both graphic and narrative.

Watched GOT 2 times and still could figure out the map of every kingdom until I find this clip. Thanks!

[@aaronkaczmarek5032]

The lord that began house baratheon after Aegons conquest was said to be his bastard brother so also a targaryen. Cersei didn't want Ned Stark to be killed but rather to be sent to the wall as she knew if he was executed the trouble it would unleash and this was something she wanted to avoid, Joffrey however ignored her advice and the advice of the small council and executed him anyway. Robb Stark was named King in the North by his Bannerman he didn't name himself King but was made King by the lords of the North and simply accepted this title.

[@codenomenal]

john snow was also named king in the north after defeating the boltons

[@benjiskyler7836]

Perfect resource for anyone just now getting into the show, plus two important points from the book not touched on in the show--Robert Baratheon being a descendant of Aegon the Unlikely and the Mad King being Maester Aemon's grandnephew rather than nephew.

[@rateeightx]

It's Also Believed That The Founder Of House Baratheon, Orys I Think His Name Was, Was The Bastard Brother Of Aegon The Conqueror.

[@tjedwards1870]

He was, he served as Aegon's Hand of the King and lost a hand while fighting the Dornish.

[@Lord_Imrahil]

The Kingdoms you name are not the 7 kingdoms. The seven kingdoms are the ones that existed before Agons conquest, now there are 9 administraive regions (added riverlands for House Tully nad Crownlands for House Tagaryen, later Baratheon) The original Kings were: Torrhen Stark, King in the North. Ronnel Arryn, King of Mountain and Vale. Harren Hoare, King of the Isles and the Rivers. Loren I Lannister, King of the Rock. Mern IX Gardener, King of the Reach. Argilac Durrandon, the Storm King. Meria Martell, Princess of Dorne The Lands Harren Hoare were divided into the riverlands given to Tully and the Iron islands given to House Greyjoy. The Reach was inherited by the stwerads of the Gardeners, House Tyrell. Baratheon married the daughter of the last King of the Stormlands and got the Stormlands. Would you consider doing the same for the book, which would be a bit more complex and quit interesting.

[@UsefulCharts]

Thanks for the extra information!

[@DerrickSylvesterJamesJr]

for context, there were not 9 separate areas when Aegon became king.the riverlands and iron islands were one realm, and the crownlands were being fought over by the stormlands and the riverlands

[@Adrian-un2lx]

Was Dorne part of Seven during Aegon's conquest? I swear it wasn't because the Seven kingdoms were the ones who knelt to the dragons. Dorne came muuuch after everyone else. That's why they still have honorary prince and princesses.

[@Lord_Imrahil]

Dorne wasn't conquered by Aegon, but it was part of the original 7 kingdoms, which existed before Aegon conquered. It was just the only kingdom to resist and survive for much longer.

Robin can claim the Vail. Sansa can claim the North. Jon Snow can claim the realm and Cersi can claim the realm. This tree doesn't show any other claims, so Dorne, the Stormlands etc. is open for the taking. As always, who end up being King doesn't depend on your bloodline. What matters is if you have the support of the nobles and right now Jon Snow has the most support, it doesn't hurt that he has a straight male line to Aegon 1.

Everyone hates the writers for Dany's demise, to me; their biggest injustice was excluding Faegon. His presence connects with Dorne, Tyrion and Varys. So much was screwed up.

[@jamessimonson9905]

What ? The writers of the show just copied the source material that George RR Martin created, up until season 5 when they started writing their own plots and it all went noticably downhill, don’t compare benioff and weiss to tolkien they’re awful writers.

[@jamessimonson9905]

What ? I’m not going to read all that because I can’t be arsed. But if you’re genuinely trying to tell me that Benioff and Weiss are better writers than Tolkien, then you’re a moron. Yes, there were divergences from the books in the earlier series’, but nothing compared to the changes from season 5 onwards. And why on earth would I lie about reading the books, you weird bastard?
