The sword of house Dayne isn't called the sword of the morning. It's named Dawn. The sword of the morning title is given to a knight of house Dayne that proves himself worthy of holding the sword. Arthur Dayne was the last and best known sword of the morning.

Mm but fairly enough the blade itself is only ever handed to the person called “the sword of the morning” and while it isnt generally referred to as such it is basically its name.

@@InfamousB9 Wrong given that there are TWO people known to have been given that title. Sir Davos Dayne and Sir Arthur Dayne. It's also explicitly stated in the books that only a member of house Dayne who is deemed worthy enough is allowed to wield the sword Dawn. In order to be able to wield Dawn, you need to be given the Title "Sword of The Morning". Because of that there isn't always someone who has that title. There needs to be someone worthy enough and that could take generations before one is born

This goes to show how honorable of a man Eddard was. Anyone else would probably had the Sword of The Mourning melted and smithed into something new for their own.

[@sakibrahman8821]

Amazing episode but It's PRINCE Doran Martell. Based on the culture of the Rhoynar, the ruler of Dorne is the Prince of Dorne. Moreover, Princess Elia was his SISTER. Technically speaking, she had the title of princess even before marrying Prince Rhaegar.

[@hi-ls6lt]

Even if you marry a prince, you do not automatically become princess. Unless you were royal too. Think of Jocelyn Baratheon, who married Prince Aemon yet remained with the title “Lady.”

[@matchuru2492]

"Battle" is misspelled in the title, just a heads up. Great video!

[@g3heathen209]

That's the westeros spelling.

[@pinar6ad]

It’s pronounced Bat ye in Spanish

[@EVEMASTER99]

Robert was typing the title after having some wine.

[@JohnnyElRed]

It's weird Eddard only took a sword with him when leaving the tower where her sister died. Wasn't anything else of value or renown to be mentioned there? Oh, well. Is also a shame Rhaegar died without leaving any heirs, anyways. Now the only Targaryen's left are his siblings.

[@jacobhubner5057]

A really fantastic video I'm always surprised buy GRRM's universe and this channel does a great job bringing it further to life. As we head into the War of 5 Kings, videos often cover the famous battles like the Whispering wood or the Blackwater, but I've so far failed to find a single video describing the Battle beneath the Wall between the Nights Watch and Wildlings. Surprising really as its one of the longest (lasts 4 chapters) and most entreging conflicts in the whole series. Hopefully we'll see it soon

[@gfilmer7150]

The Attack On Castle Black was the battle between The Wildlings and The Night’s Watch. The Battle Beneath-The-Wall as between The Wildlings and Stannis Baratheon.

14:42 they fled to Braavos (where they grew up in the "House with the red door", not Pentos. Daenerys and Viserys only moved to Pentos years later

[@Darkdaej]

Danaerys was told they went to Braavos, however this is a lie because the "House with the Red Door" also had a lemon tree visible from its windows. Braavos is way too far to the north to even have citrus trees. Not only that but simply are no trees in Braavos. Firewood is extremely expensive as it must be brought in with trading ships. And even *if* there was a lemon tree somehow, she couldn't have seen it through the permanent fog covering the city. Truth is we don't know exactly where she was at the time, but we do know Dany's story is not accurate. Her memories are too foggy and jumbled to be reliable.

[@napolien1310]

@@Darkdaej they were in Braavos, don't forget about the pact that was signed when Oberyn visited William Darry and the sealord of Braavos was the witness. Sure Braavos doesn't have trees inside it but outside you can, they likely settled outside the city in a small mansion which had the tree, they wouldn't have lived inside the city which had is crowded and the possibility of someone recognise them.

Great video! Can't wait for more! (Could have a lot of fun exploring Aegon's Conquest, or the Dance of the Dragons, or the Blackfyres.) On future videos, a few things comes to mind. Legend of the Galactic Heroes would be ab gold mind in of itself, to explore the war between Galactic Empire and the Free Planets Alliance, and the rise of Reinhard von Lohengramm and Yang Wen-li. After that, Star Wars Legends is filled with good stuff like the Old Sith Wars and the New Sith Wars and so on. Other than that there a lot of Star Trek you could play with, like the Earth-Romulan War, or the Federation-Cardassian Wars, and the big one, the Dominion War.

Your map with troops movements highlights something that always bothered me about the battle of the Trident. If the rebels marched from the west and had control of the Riverlands, how did they find themselves north of the Trident? Did they pull back to a defensible position?

[@NisarAhmed-tp7bk]

''I want to draw mountain (Gregor Clegane) into the west, Into our country where we could surround him and kill him i want him to chase us''- Robb stark (GOT S3.E3 ) The Same strategy Used by the rebel forces, They want to force the royal army to chase them And if battle fall against Rebel army they had a chance to retreat to the Eyrie or North but in the west they caught between Tywin's territory and walder frey who could easily chose a side by battle determination, So thats why they chose Northern bank of trident river and surprisely charge on royal forces when they tried to cross the river.

[@kraanz]

@@NisarAhmed-tp7bk Next time, look up "punctuation." It matters. Because what you just wrote there is an incoherent rant.

[@Free_Palestine_419]

It's a shame that Tywin Lannister and his armies stayed neutral for nearly the entire war but made sense because the Mad King had his son Jaime Lannister as both his bodyguard and hostage. At least he joined Robert's side at the end by marching on King's Landing, sacking the city, and wiping out the Mad King's entire family and bloodline. Just imagine how much more badass this war and battle would've been had the Lannisters had fought alongside Robert, Stark, and the rebels.

[@hi-ls6lt]

I imagine the rebels would have won much quicker though. Having Tywin be mostly neutral balanced things out.

Hey guys massive fan I came from the main channel love history and mythology I was thinking what about Greek mythology battles if they existed or deeds they had apparently done I think that would make an amazing watch if u guys got your teeth into it keep it

[@semperfidelis9083]

Its not Ser Gerald but Ser Gerold Hightower Also in Asoiaf they don't have Williams but Willams. Elia was not Doran's daughter but his sister. The Dornish rulers are not referred to as "Lords" but 'as "Princess" it was one of their most key demands when they united with the other kingdoms. The sword of the morning is not the name of the sword but the name of its wielder, the sword's name is Dawn. and in house Dayne its ownership is passed to the one who possesses excellent swordsmanship unlike other houses where it goes from father to son. with Arthur being the last true holder. other than this your video was superb.
