The Real Story of Aegon Targaryen 'The Conqueror' | Game of Thrones

The Real Story of Aegon Targaryen 'The Conqueror' | Game of Thrones
In the midst of power struggles in Westeros, a man with a vision arose A prophecy about the destruction of mankind with a singular goal: to unite the 7 kingdoms and face the impending winter. His name still echoes today in songs and pages of the oldest chronicles, from Westeros to Essos. Aegon Targaryen!

He's also supposed to be very closed-off to everyone outside of his sister-wives and Orys Baratheon. He's an enigma. Or more accurately, he is THE enigma. The Baratheons are famous for being furious, Lannisters for being Machivellian, Arryns for being Honourable, Starks of being hot-blooded, Grejoys of being Marauders, Tullys of being Familial etc. But Aegon is supposed to be Enigmatic from what I've gathered. Closer to dragons than humans.

[@bryanfish7303]

It would surely be crazy expensive, even by Game of Thrones standards. To do it justice, with all those battles. Also, although it's a very interesting read. It's such a processional, one-sided campaign, I'm not sure how compelling it would be. The Dance of the Dragons is a more evenly contested campaign, with both sides having victories and defeats, and therefore better suited to a TV drama

[@dshepherd107]

It’s going to be, Knight of the Seven Kingdoms next. Then, Aegon’s Conquest will follow

[@TheOneAndOnly93]

​@bryanfish7303 I'm not sure about that man .. surely the story is one sided but you could put in so much really sick frames and conversations, with all the drama that occurred inside all the existing families in Westeros, the Doom of Valyria, extreme crazy battles with the biggest dragons that Westeros ever saw, the melting castle .. man with the right budget, script and actors this could be a masterpiece ready to be made 🔥

[@danieldeclue1466]

You did a good job on the video, although I have to say, I was a little perplexed when you said that lady Shara was only confused by her child sitting on visenyas lap. She was not confused. She was terrified. That was not visenya extending an olive branch, that was a straight-up threat, any parent would see it that way. That was a threat to her ability to protect her own son. And it was visenya sending her the message that if she wanted she could have torn her child apart before she even made it into the courtyard. The reason things didn't get violent is because lady Shara knew that it obviously wouldn't end well for her, which is what egg on wanted visenya to say in the first place. That was all threat my dude

[@carolcamp4828]

Regarding Winterfell my guess would be that both Aegon & Bran Snow were visionary psychics. Love me some GoT, whatever era.

[@chriscollette2293]

I believe the reason that Torrhen Stark bent the knee to Aegon because they were told about the song of ice and fire, about the long night and the whitewalkers. Being that the Starks new the truth, instead of opposing Aegon join him. In the 2nd season of House of the Dragon, the first scene of the Wall and Cregan Stark it appears he already knows of this prophecy as he looks off the top of the Wall and into the distance. This is just speculation of course, I could be wrong.
