All this talk about Robert's rebellion that overthrew the mad king and
house targaryen's rule over the 7 kingdom, but there are a lot more in the

I would love to see a GOT prequel that start at the last Black Fyre Rebellion and end with Robert Rebellion

[@cars81434]

We might with the Dunk and Egg storyline since their story cover most of the Blackfyre Rebellion(expect the first and last one)

[@taz3922]

Yea would love to see a young Tywin

[@ciscoduncan1490]

Agreed. I would’ve really liked to have seen a live action Roberts rebellion. Showing all that took place leading up to Robert taking the throne.

I hope George lives long enough to write more Dunk & Egg stories. That way we can see how the rest of the Blackfyre rebellions play out in detail.

[@josephmoffatt4696]

The sad things is that most of the wars in the Seven Kingdoms were civil wars. In fact, I think since the Aegon unified the realm the only time the Seven Kingdoms have fought a foreign power was during the War of the Nine penny Kings. And that was still led by a house of Targaryen decent.

[@Sharringan16]

the andals and the faith of the 7 were also foreign

[@josephmoffatt4696]

@@Sharringan16 Both had been in Westeros for millennia. I don’t think either can be called foreign.

[@fuzzyco.3336]

I think there were a few foreign wars besides nine penny, There were a few wars between the seven kingdoms and Dorne before it joined (including the vulture kings and some dorne prince trying to invade in jaeherys’ time There was also some myrish or tyroshi rebels that invaded Tarth, also in jaeherys’ time

[@thegreatpage5912]

Doesn't the War of the Five Kings count as a rebellion as well. The North was rebelling against the crown, Renly tried to take the throne from the rightful heir. And the Greyjoys was being the Greyjoys.

[@homeworld22]

I've often thought there are a whole lot of rebellions in Westeros that simply don't get a mention. A feudal society is necessarily a hugely unequal one, with a small, heavily armed aristocracy owning almost everything and the other 90% of the population being rural peasants. Every time the king's taxmen come around, there is the potential for revolt. One suspects that in a realm as large as the Seven Kingdoms, and with such variable seasons, there are smallfolk rebellions all the time, just as in medieval Europe. One suspects they are so routine the maesters don't even bother writing them down!

[@hectorsanchez1377]

Cept europe didnt have dragons.

[@palantiri6590]

I think George having The Starks spare the Boltons in The Greystark rebellion was a mistake. I understand George needed The Boltons to betray the Starks, but it’s puzzling that the Starks exterminated their kin but left the Boltons alive.

[@cars81434]

Maybe the surviving Boltons at time were either distant relative, too young, or a female member with no connection to this. We’ve seen this towards the Umbers and Karstarks in the show. The Umber surviving heir had been just a boy and Karstark have a girl as heiress. Sansa actually wanted to demoted their titles because of the rebellion and siding with the Boltons but Jon refuse and allow them to swore their oaths agains. It’s likely the Starks shown humility towards the leftovers Boltons to swear their oaths again. Although the Boltons don’t have a good reputation, they’re are quite effective and useful for the Starks to used.

I really really hope we get a Robert Jordan situation here where another skilled author is chosen to continue the work. I mean no offense to Martin but to flesh out his world in a way many people would like and finish his main series he would need to live for another 40-50 years at least.

[@brendan9868]

I have no problem with people adding and extending to his world one day, but insinuating he will die before even finishing his main story is just straight up rude. Especially when he’s made it very clear he’s been working on Winds and is making good progress, but is also working on other projects which inevitably slows down the main series. And what do you mean he needs 40-50 years to flesh it out? It’s already an extremely fleshed out series. The amount of characters, houses, castles, etc. is already mind boggling. The history and lore of it is very detailed from his lore books, which he already is working on more of. What more do you really need?

A Robert Rebellion miniseries

[@justincweiner]

They could easily do a prequel from the start of blackfyre rebellions to the end of Roberts rebellion. 1st or 1st 2 seasons could be the lead up to the first blackfyre rebellion as there is a ton of info about Aegon the IV and his insatiable appetite for whoring and fathering of many bastards. Each season after 2 could be a black fyre rebellion leading 7 seasons. The final two seasons could be robberts rebellion. If they want to keep it to 8 seasons then 1 season for the lead up to the 1st blackfyre rebellion. House of the Dragon may go till Viserys II's crowning after his older brother dies and has no male heirs to succeed him.

[@Gyrannon]

Video Suggestions or maybe something for Q&A GoT: 1. Lannister - So we got Tytos Lannister and Tywin Lannister, ever found it odd that Tywin gave the "Ty" name to Tyrion, the son he hated, but didn't give it to Jaime who he wanted as his heir an successor to the Family House? 2. Baratheon - I always found it strange that they picked a Stag for their House Sigil, and then when going into battle, they have antlers attached to their Helms, and typically fight like raging bulls using Sledge Hammers, Mallets, and Maces. If you mentioned these in other videos, please point them out.

[@gfilmer7150]

The stag belonged to House Durrandon who were The Storm Kings (original rulers of The Stormlands) until Orys Baratheon, Aegon "The Conqueror" Targaryen's bastard half brother conquered The Stormlands, killing The Last Storm King and marrying his daughter, becoming the new Lord of Storm's End and Lord Paramount of The Stormlands. He took up House Durrandon's words and sigil to honor his new wife.

[@hexflash.]

Robert Baratheon must be the greatest warrior of all. Won 5 wars in 1 day and the only one to end the reign of a targaryen. No warrior achieve the most victory than Robert, not even Barristen or Arthur themselves.

[@dyrania]

Imma be a english nerd for this but I hate how Robert’s Rebellion is called a rebellion. A revolt is known as a rebellion only if it fails. If it succeeds it’s called a Revolution. So it’s really Robert’s Revolution. But I guess it doesn’t roll off the tongue as hard.

[@winstonlewis5630]

A revolution isn’t necessarily a successful rebellion. The two terms are pretty much synonymous you can use both but the main difference is you use one person while saying rebellion.

[@adamantiiispencespence4012]

From what I've heard revolution and revolutionary are fairly new terms compared to the rough period ASOIAF is set in. With revolution in the sense that you seem to be using it emerging in the 17th century.

Note that every civil war Westeros has seen has been instigated by the Targaryens themselves, the worst conflicts of their histories. And yet we had Daenerys in season 7 claiming that "The Targaryen era was the most peaceful the seven kingdoms had ever seen". A greater lie was never spoken.

[@thatoneblackdude3333]

You can have a peaceful era while still having conflicts it is well known the targaryens did created multiple times of peace sure they has multiple civil wars but compare that to the conflicts from before they showed up and after they were gone westaros was in constent conflict , plus that was from season 7 well known along with 8 to be incredibly badly written so I don't think you should be taking it so seriously.

[@alexanderb5726]

@@thatoneblackdude3333 My dude that is an oxymoron if ever I saw one. No, multiple conflicts of national scale is the exact determinant for a non-peaceful time. And I cannot recall a single Targaryen venture for peace that was successful. If so then you need to give examples. And worse before? Oh no. Look up the Golden Age of Garth VII the Goldenhand of the Reach. That time alone proves both you and Daenerys wrong.
