“Im gonna get so much hate on this video” my king, no one fucks with the greyjoys 😭

[@JC-gn7lq]

I lightly fw Victarion Greyjoy, but only bc his chapters are funny

[@zariyastewart5886]

The repeat name is on purpose. Ned named all of his sons after the men closest to him. Robb is named after Robert Baratheon, Bran is named after Brandon (Ned’s older brother), and Rickon is named after Rickard (Ned’s father). Also, Jon is named after Jon Arryn

[@JC-gn7lq]

I mean, how many dudes named John, Mike, and Dave are there in the US alone? Idk the answer, but it's a lot

[@cupofcait]

I love that you feel like you have to "make up" for the last episode. You don't! I think most of us get it. stuff happens! Don't beat yourself up. But this is awesome these lore videos are really great

[@adamlgiroux]

The genius of these lore videos is that they are presented through the biased perspective of their narrator, so you can see how the same events are seen differently by different people.

[@BigKnecht]

Really good adaption of GRRMs POV based writing style. Best part about the books.

[@NoCreamedCorn]

Casual king = Formal king. These are way better than the inside the episode stuff which sometimes are spoilery. Your channel makes me laugh and smile so much. Keep it up king.

[@neryskkiran1820]

💯

[@smallbudoo]

Major events in Westeros 1. Invasion of the first men (10k plus years before got) 2. The Long Night (7700 years before got) 3. Coming of the andals (4000 years before got) 4. Aegons Conquest (300 years before got). The Targaryens lost all their dragons due to a civil war between themselves) 5. Roberts Rebellion 16 years before got

[@bignut3348]

When the time comes, bro is either gonna love Daemon or HATE him lmao

[@derekfurst6233]

That's the official timeline according to the citadel but we know the timeline is wrong. Throughout the story, there are inconsistencies that all point to 4000 years or so unaccounted for. George confirmed in interviews that the long night was actually more like 5000 ago. The long night more than likely coincides with (and was almost certainly caused by) the Andal invasion

[@smallbudoo]

It's just a broad timeline I'm not trying to be specific.@@derekfurst6233

[@Hochspitz]

"The Targaryens lost all their dragons due to a civil war between themselves" Well, not quite but as makes no difference as the Maesters were the ones to make sure dragons would wither and magic be extinguished. They are the ones who write the histories, they are the ones pulling strings.

[@smallbudoo]

@@Hochspitz Wdym not quite. Sure they had dragons in the aftermath but it was basically unsolvable

[@milescurtiswatson251]

Well our Bran is obviously named for Ned’s brother in remembrance. As Robb is named for Robert and Jon is named for Jon Arryn.

[@benyblancofrbx]

A good King does right by his people.... 👑 🤖 Histories & Lore?? What a great surprise upload. TY

[@caerajarr7705]

12:20 Storm's End is my favorite castle in Game of Thrones. There's a scene (only happens in the books) where someone is threatening to storm the castle with a big ass army and execute everyone inside it. The defender of the castle responds with "Bring on your storm, my lord - and recall, if you do, the name of this castle." That is one of the best "come at me, bro" challenges you will ever hear.

[@smallbudoo]

Stannis held the castle with like 50 men against a large majority of the southern army. Not sure if that’s just Stannis being the best or the castle being the best

[@thatoneblackdude3333]

​@@smallbudoo I think it's a little bit of both keep in mind he likely would have died of starvation if not for davos regardless.

[@Polo-wk7zl]

⁠@@smallbudooStannis had 500, and the Tyrells weren’t really trying that hard

[@smallbudoo]

@@Polo-wk7zl Yeha I’m ps the Tyrels were fine with the Targaryens downfall. Even though they literally made them

[@NotoriousMinion]

Oh hell yeah bro, you got the best reactions on here. No way you turned the lore video into two hours, what a fuckin Chad 🤣

[@aotlevi6594]

I can't believe you reacted to this 🥰🥰🥰

[@joeyken81]

Fun Fact: Ser Allister Thorne went to the wall because he fought on the side of the Targaryens in Robert's Rebellion

[@neryskkiran1820]

Probably the only fun thing that can be said in reference to Ser Alliser Thorne.

[@Mattis06]

I wish he knew who jon was.

[@David-zn2hx]

With the name stuff, we do the same. Elizabeth the first, the second and so on. We have a long history of naming our kids after someone else, dead relatives, etc...

[@KamasiFitzgerald]

NAHHH TALK YO SHIT ON THE GREYJOYS ☠️☠️☠️ Lmao loving this

[@tanimal3964]

They are pretty lame in the show, some are pretty cool in the book.

[@neryskkiran1820]

Queen Elizabeth 2 just died. Queen Elizabeth 1 was the 'Virgin Queen', who reigned over England's 'golden age'. Her father was King Henry the 8th, who had six wives, beheaded two of them (including Elizabeth 1's mother), and the original breastplate stretcher may have been invented for him. Queen Elizabeth 2's grandson Prince Harry (Henry), is 5th in line to the throne. His daughter Lilibet (variation of the name Elizabeth), is 7th in line to the throne. They live in California. Many English 'highborns' and royalty gave their illegitimate children last names that began with 'Fitz'. This is just a few sentences. The current monarchies have histories and connections that rival the stories in Game of Thrones. Some of Game of Thrones stories are based on the English monarchical history. Wikipedia is one entrance to THAT rabbit-hole.

[@emmanx011]

😂😅.... "Breast Plate Stretcher - comment"....🤣🤣🤣

[@ScarlettM]

52:50 - it's common for royals to use the same names in our world, too. How many Phillips and Louis were there in France alone?

[@billbliss1518]

I was going to point this out… I think France got to Louis XVIII before they became a democracy? Might be one or two numbers off.

[@Kassiaterabbitslayer]

or edwards and henrys in england

[@hassankhan-jg1dx]

Damn, you're committed to the story bro. I haven't seen anyone react to the damn lore before.

[@Artfulcas]

“How many Brandons are there!? Stop with the Brandon!” Everyone else: 🤭 wait till he hears about the AegonS

[@lyricmezzosoprano5357]

And then Google straight up disregarded Benjen as Ned’s third sibling.

@@FlameQwert 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

[@duplonek]

9:25 No. Renly had men of the Reach and stormlands, not Dorne. You haven't met Dorne yet. But actually you weren't wrong that much. In the books Renly tells Catellyn that he is waiting for Dorne army to join him sooner than later. I think he tells her that Dorne is giving him another 30 000 men. It would make his army 130 000 men strong. In all of game of thrones universe i've never heard of bigger army. Such a shame Renly died so early when he had the boggest chances to win

[@neryskkiran1820]

Renly would have been a good king.

[@waltdistel716]

happy you did this! I understand it might be tough for reaction content but these lore episodes are so much more than you would expect at first. the narration is top notch and if you haven't read the books beforehand they are so valuable in tying things together and making the world so much richer as the show is already able to portray

[@WileChile51]

That intro made me unexpectedly laugh so much. 😂 Never change, my king.

[@hperspective]

This video is amazing ! Interesting, funny and soothing all in the same time 😊

[@marieclaudeb.2366]

We told you this was fire! ❤ thanks for the Easter entertainment, I really needed that 🎉

[@jasond.2147]

Yes!!! I was so hoping you'd react to this and a 2 hour video!!!! Let's go!!!

[@JC-gn7lq]

Harrenhal is in the Riverlands, and it used to be within the territory controlled by the Iron Islands. Aegon ended that, and their territory was reduced to the islands alone.

[@davejnz7485]

So glad you watched (and reacted) to this! Love your reactions, you're not only very entertaining but you also have great attention to detail and put effort into understanding. It's a rare combination! Imo you definitely have goat GoT reactor potential :)

[@theprelude2fame345]

Aye cuh dont worry abt not talking, we understand and are here for the journey 💪🏿

[@SimplySherylAnne]

"Black Brother's" lol Love the Histories and Lore...helped me a lot, when I first watched GoT..so much needed info, but pls watch after each Season, to avoid spoilers 😉 Happy Easter! 🐰

[@gypsysoul.]

I super appreciate your attention to detail. One example was you immediately sorted out that Storms End is not in the Riverlands. It's just knowing geographically where locations are and there names will REALLY help one with the show. It's crazy how many reactors think characters are close to each other or w.e and they are literally on the other side of the continent or a different continent altogether!😂. It's fun either way but it just helps with your viewing experience imho. So one doesnt get the story incredibly mixed up.. anyways. Thank you for doing this! Can't wait for the continued journey! Keep up the EPIC work 🤩

[@eliezervinicius4690]

Nice reaction😂 keep whatching the season and lore of the seasons, It keeps getting better

[@emilyk5168]

Yes, Aerys (the Mad King) was married to his sister. Rhaegar, Viserys and Daenerys are also cousin-siblings. But Rhaegar was married to the Princess of Dorne (Elia Martell), mostly because his only sister (Dany) wasn't born until after he died.

[@lydieneajebe9251]

I believe Danny was already born when he died but she was a very young child

[@JC-gn7lq]

Aerys and Rhaegar were killed in 283 AC, and Dany was born in 284 AC. Queen Rhaella died in childbirth. Robert asked Stannis to build a new fleet of ships after he was crowned, so that took a little while, and Stannis attacked Dragonstone with that fleet. Dany was just an infant, and the few remaining Targaryen loyalists sent a wet nurse with her and Viserys when they were smuggled off the island.

[@lydieneajebe9251]

@@JC-gn7lq yes I was mistaken, both of you are right. I had no idea that her mother was still pregnant when they fled kings landing. The show made it seem like Danny was a young child when they left. So Danny was really fighting for a world that she had never known or has any memories from..wow.

[@ScarlettM]

58:30 - Rhaegar would have married his sister, if he had one. King had only two sons at that time. And it was time for prince to marry, so a non-Targaryen wife was chosen.

[@mylesF33]

Yet a Princess in her own right👍🏾

Its good to watch these at the end of each season so you are not spoiled.

[@Nattiie]

You’re doing an amazing job! I was worried at first when you started watching 🤣 but you understood everything really well 👌 better than most, it’s best to actually listen and then comment in the end, or when it’s right and you did just that 👍

[@vigilantvigilante2582]

Loved your reaction to it lmao, especially when you got to the season 2 parts and your eyes opened wide again for like the 30th time in the video 😂

[@JFeaser187]

Harry Lloyd, Viserys’ actor, who read the Targaryen segments also narrates the newer asoiaf audiobooks such as the Dunk & Egg(Aegon V) novellas and the Fire & Blood history books. Presumably he’ll be doing the next main series books, if they ever come out, as the narrator of the previous 5 books passed away a few years ago.

[@smallbudoo]

All respect to Roy but Harry Lloyd is just perfect and I get through the audio books way faster with him

[@JFeaser187]

just gotta say, I love your reactions to this series so far. It's great!

[@gabrielsantiago5753]

Watching this will give you so much context of the GOT world and will make the show feel that much more enjoyable to watch.

[@HackWilson14]

So glad you reacted to these! Pretty sure I was one of the people who said you should react to this at some point during your season one reaction. I knew you would like it!! Roberts Rebellion and Aegon’s Conquest would be two dope prequel shows. Apparently they are doing one based on Aegon’s Conquest and there’s always been talk of one on Robert’s Rebellion, it’s just the creatives want to wait a little bit, let more time pass because it has a lot of younger versions of characters from game of thrones and it’s a story that we already know what happens at the end due to it being so heavily involved in the game of thrones storyline

[@Victoria-kv9oz]

The histories and Lores are long but I must say that I’ve enjoyed watching it with you. I laughed a lot. Thank you.

[@dbcooperbaby]

the way I smiled like an IDIOT when I saw this video was posted!!! best reaction videos ever

[@JasonValencia]

8:45 same-i kept rewinding and restarting for years prolly. I didn’t get through an entire histories and lore until i watched the reactions.

[@Azorahai1]

Ngl your videos always make my day!! You're so funny, intelligent and on top of that hella cute as well. Stay blessed my king!! ☺

[@hovis1st]

I can't believe I never knew this existed, I read hundreds of wiki pages to connect the dots when i watched it back in the day and got so many spoilers. Great to hear to Lore of Game of Thrones in the casts voice. Love that you did this.

[@ancatdal]

This was a lot of fun watching! I think you hit a good balance between listening and sharing your thoughts and feelings. I hope you'll do more of them!

[@yoslo6832]

I know you asked if anyone was from the Stormlands and maybe you figured it out later. But all the Baratheons are from the Stormlands. Robert, Stannis, and Renly. My favorite character is from there as well. Lyonel Baratheon “The Laughing Storm”. And it is the basis for my profile picture.

[@shanecreekmore2539]

The king gives us extra content what!!!!! We are not worthy your majesty🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@octavianusLeEmperorid6os]

Well the sap is actually blood, because the First Men used to sacrifice people to the Weirwoods, and the Weirwoods would soak up the blood through their roots, which is why Ned cleans the blood from his sword near the Weirwoods. Also I would suggest possibly picking up a copy of The World of Ice and Fire to fully understood the lore, since the book covers the Dawn Age (First Men, Children of the Forest, etc.) up to Robert's Rebellion, and isn't really that long, only being around 300 pages. Also, the Tyrells are the ones that weren't used to fighting in the winter, not the Dornish. Loras and Margaery are Tyrells, and the Tyrells control the Reach. The Baratheons control Storm's End, so Robert, Stannis, and Renly are all from the Stormlands.

[@--ArcAngel--]

Except the Baratheon line was interrupted and usurped. In a way , the current Baratheons were usurpers of Storms End and the Iron Throne.

Have you gotten yourself a map of Westeros? Really helpful in retaining all the info, and keeping the story straight.

[@cassandrareed5959]

Where can you buy one that’s legitimate and not a knockoff?

[@neryskkiran1820]

​@@cassandrareed5959 lol, I'm still watching this video right now. I stop, and come back to it throughout the day... lol I'd google 'asoiaf map' to find an online map, or a paper one you could buy, of Westeros, or of Westeros and Essos. asoiaf stands for 'A Story of Ice and Fire', the book series. I don't know of knock-offs v legitimate... Most of it is fan generated, and the fans who dedicate their time to making these are dedicated, and their products seem to be accurate portrayals. I don't think they'd have lasted if they were churning out crap. There's an interesting interactive map online, where you can set different character and/or timeline overlays onto the maps. Careful of spoilers with that one!

[@AlwaysRightAllNight]

Most families in history repeat names. The french monarchy had like Louis XIX (19), King Charles III is currently king and is 3rd of his name.

I love this bonus video, I do feel the history and lore gets better with every season edit: its so funny to hear your biases, which is also a theme in these history and lore videos. Whoever narrates will inevitably color the accounts with their own opinions.

[@addisonhamilton3382]

Stannis chopped Davos' fingers off after the siege was lifted-- the deal was that he would lose his fingers above the first knuckle as punishment for years of smuggling, and be awarded a keep and a knighthood as reward for bringing them onions. Stannis is dude that follows very strict rules, and is of the opinion that a good deed does not wash out the bad, they each deserve their own consequences

[@Daiska_Plays]

In real life, naming children after a father, aunt, grandfather was super common until the last 50 years or so, when people didn't want "old fashioned" names anymore. It was traditional in a way. Royal families still do it. So that's why the names in GoT might seem confusing to a younger generation.

[@Artfulcas]

Yaaaaaaaas ong I’m so glad you did decide to do the histories and lore!!!!

[@nergal9668]

I enjoyed the video

[@commentsforthealgorithm]

You have heard “Barry Williams third of my name” in real life. Good ok Barry Williams the third

[@FlameQwert]

highly recommend the books- they're pretty easy to read (no dense prose) with a lot more subtle depth and emotional power. The TV series never truly captures all of it, and especially later on in the show lol Edit: also the heroes stories have more detail not mentioned: Bran the Builder stuff gets... weird in some theories. Garth Greenhand may have been an actual magic tree-man. Funniest thing about him is that almost all the Reach houses claim descent from him 😂😂 so the Tyrells ain't even special. The Ironborn tales show their ancestors to be psycho monster hunters with deep sea gods and a strange see-saw between despotism and pirate-democracy, etc. Oh yeah also Robert's waffling about dragon blood is crazy and kinda whack- legally he only has a claim to the throne not just because of long ago Orys Baratheon; his OWN GRANDMA was a Targ. He was by law the closest heir if you don't count the Targ royal family

[@neryskkiran1820]

"Is this why people read books?" 😂 Some books, at least. These books -- the series the Game of Thrones is based on, is called A Song of Ice and Fire, by GRRM. They're incredibly involved, and immensely engaging. The Harry Potter books are great, and alot easier to get into and get through. Both series are real page turners, and have even more meat -- more to grab onto, and immerse yourself in, than the show/movies.

[@charlottedrolet9000]

For the first of the name stuff, it’s basically like King George the 3rd. A way of honoring your predecessor

The 'First of his name' thing only applies if you are king, pretty much it is specifcally for King of the whole 7 kingdoms.

[@notjerod5076]

Ned has 3 siblings, Benjen, lyanna and Brandon. Ned named bran, his son, after his brother which by extension is a namesake of bran the builder. Very confusing, I will admit😭

[@bastiancalderon2807]

Aww man i hope you liked the format cos i loved it. Excited for the second one The people that were with Renly were from the Storm Lands and the Tyrells from the Reach, no Dorne but theyre south too i guess haha All the Baratheons decend from Darren Godsgrief 40:22 Harrenhal is not in the Stormlands.

Friends, GoT Reaction Channels, ASOIAF Fans, lend me your ears. If you are super serious about GOT/HOTD/ASOIAF lore here's some recommendations: I. For less intense lore and analysis I use [WhyCreate] (www.youtube.com/@whycreate) and [Alt Shift X] (www.youtube.com@AltShiftX) II. For more intense stuff I use [Lucifer Means Lightbringer] (www.youtube.com/@DavidLightbringer) There other great channels, , books, and articles out there that you may discover the deeper 🙃 you get into the ASOIAF community.

[@jesmathes]

I'd recommend Glidus as well, for some irreverent, but enormously entertaining and super-smart analysis. And periodic collabs with AltShiftX.

Also I know you were joking about “is this why people read books”, but if you ever do seriously consider reading them there’s a channel called ‘DavidReadsASoIaF’ who does a really good reading of them. I tend to have a hard time processing Information well when reading, so the audiobooks help with that.
