I don’t really get the sense Aegon is stupid- he’s just out of his depth. He was never groomer or trained to rule and then was plopped on the throne by his relatives who had other agendas. I find what’s interesting about the show is the extent to which Aegon WANTS to be a competent, benevolent king but just doesn’t know how and is frustrated by the people around him.

@@TheLevitatingFleem I think you misunderstood. It's not about whether Aemond has a motive or a justicifation or not. Kinslaying is THE worst sin commitable in Westeros.

[@jeffreymeehan3116]

I read that Lord Brougham, the Lord Chancellor back in the 1800s, had an opinion on what it was like working with George III, George IV, and William IV. He said that George III would ask too many questions and then never wait for a response, he would often answer them himself. George IV didn't ask questions because he thought it would make him look stupid. William IV however would ask what he needed to know because he genuinely wanted to understand things. I cannot say what makes a good King, President, etc. But a complete lack of intellectual curiosity has made many a bad one.

[@OcarinaSapphr-]

William IV also had the advantage of being a younger son - let me explain: as a younger son he didn't have as many societal limitations on him- he served in the navy in his youth (he'd end up with the nickname, 'the Sailor King')- & the navy, more than the army {where people sold commissions & bought their appointments & promotions} had people _earn_ their position - officers also wouldn't be able to serve important roles *without* sufficient technical knowledge, so that speaks to William's intellect -- of course, William could have been savvy about military matters & still have known d^ck about politics & governance- but his willingness to do his best, & learn from others- ensures his place as a good, if not great monarch.

Best thing about Ewan Mitchell's acting is how he gets such communication and expressions across with just grunts. The, "Hmmh", after Aegon tries to speak Valyrian is great. When Aegon shows up on his dragon at Rook's Rest, the grunt in anger expresses his anger and disdain for Aegon.

[@dirksinger6611]

The English Kings started speaking English, as opposed to French, in the 1300s, 250 years after William the Conqueror. So, it figures that the native languages of Aegon and Aemond would by then have been the common language of Kings Landing. Aemond then bothered to learn Valyrian and, being very driven, knows it fluently. Aegon? Along with the rest of his studies, not so much.

[@Duke_of_Lorraine]

Aegon landed with much fewer men than William and, to have an easier time ruling, kept the common tongue at court. William tried to control England much more than Aegon tried to control Westeros. Aegon kept all nobles that bent the knee, and replaced those that didn't with local competitors. While William completely overthrew the anglo-saxon nobility.

He probably would be better at it however it is for the best he is not King. If Aemond were King and had won the war, judging by his history he would have likely had Rhaenyra's little son Aegon put to the sword. In the books Little Aegon would eventually rule after Aegon The Elder because he dies with no male heir. Instead if Aemond survives and is King he would likely go on to have male heirs of his own. The entire Targaryen Line would be different and that means no Daenerys and no Jon Snow.

Alicent: why is Aemond here? Aegon: he is my closest blood and our best sword Aemond a bit later: he-he Vhagar goes dracarys

[@rahmatmanurung8133]

A bit later? 😂 No. Before Dracarys, Aegon's laughing at him.

[@TheHellyeahmen]

@@rahmatmanurung8133 oh thanks. Now it makes sense. Cuz even though Aegon clearly loved and respected Aemond it's okay to burn him alive because of jokes

[@rahmatmanurung8133]

@@TheHellyeahmen I like Aegon/Aemond duo but to say Aegon respected Aemond? Nah. I get it he had his own insecurities but he had to make Aemond to be miserable too. He did it to him since he was young in ep 6 season 1. Look at how different Jace as big brother to Luke. Anyway I still like Aegon/Aemond as brothers so I look forward to see their confrontation later.

[@TheHellyeahmen]

@@rahmatmanurung8133 he did respect him. He called him his best sword and it was definately not a joke. He was genuine And calling him the closest blood as an argument is definately a sign of at least some love And he didn't want Aemond to be miserable. If you watch Aegon closely you will see that he's not a mean person. He just doesn't understand that he hurts people with his rude behaviour

[@rahmatmanurung8133]

@@TheHellyeahmen That's why I would like to see some scenes of them to talk about their feelings, just two of them. I see how interesting their dynamic could be as brothers. They both are messed up because of their parents and upbringing. Aegon was never be good role model as big brother because he's lazy to study and loved drinking, also he raped the maid in season 1. Aemond also had his mistakes of course: burned his brother. Oh well I just hope the showrunners would not make their relationship worse than already has now. While in the book Aemond never attacked Aegon so it's sad to me.

....shouldn't the GRAND MAESTER know SOME high Valyrian?

[@powerboy2ful]

Im wondering if the other members off the council could understand him 🤣🤣🤣

[@princedavid88]

Aegon is top 3 characters so far this season.

[@leviackerman1032]

It seems someone skips their class.

[@floristfindspeace]

i know that they’re targaryens, and they speak high valyrian, and that aemond has done it before so idk why it was baffling to me when he started doing it again but i legit gasped and had to pause the show LMAO

[@Mariammf445]

I believe he knows High Valyrian, he just don’t know what to answer to aemond because he has no strategy, his head is empty right now and he got confused how aemond dared to embarrass king in front of his small council

[@andrewchan2809]

Do all the council members understand Valyrian or are they just stuck in the tension?

I can have to make a war?

Amy other king would of had him arrested u could tell he was gonna betray him n u keep him off his dragon it's a easy job but then ur down ur only weapon the biggest dragon it's a hard decision

[@honzaben6814]

Aemond speaking high Valyrian Aegon speaking "high" Valyrian

[@user-vo6iz7gh2f]

Aegon did what his mother had raised him too. He fought against Rhenyras side of the family. She didn't call him to the council meetings when she and Otto took over and left him to sate his hedonism and then she wonders why things went wrong. Hopefully, Aemond will slam this on her next episode. 2 24 3 in their heads: Did he say what I think he said? Oh I'm certain he did. Why did we crown this 1 again?

[@carmelalinka]

Does the council also speak Valyrian? Or its just them?

[@mmmelancholia]

If I remember correctly, most of the High Houses in Westeros learn High Valyrian only as like a foreign language. The maesters are able to understand it and there are many characters in ASOIAF who are able to translate a few words - however, it is part of a higher education, and they do not use it on a daily basis. So, I think, they understand at least to some degree but not everything. However, they can clearly see that Aemond just tore his brother to shreds without understanding one single word, I guess :D

[@zakataMan]

The Grand Maester does (for sure), and I believe Larys Strong did in the book

[@bobbyb9258]

Orwyle is Grand Maester, not knowing high valyrian would be like a scientist of today not knowing english. The others are _Clubfoot who should speak low valyrian as master of whisperers and seems to have become a learned man to compensate for his disability _Tyland Lannister, who comes from a port city and is master of coin, so he should know low valyrian to deal with Essos _Jasper Wylde also comes from a port city, right on the narrow sea and for the same reasons should know low valyrian

[@carmelalinka]

Thanks for the info you guys! I never read any of the books and just started watching recently. But I've spoiled myself the entire plot from watching the summary of Fire & Blood. Thinking of watching GOT after this season ends too.

Aemond roasted him more than vhagar
