*Since season 5 They butchered the Dorne arc, messed up sansa's plot, eradicated Tyrion's character development by erasing his motivation of killing all those who wronged him his whole life. Let's not forget young griff being brushed off and not being included in the story. Varys dissappeared and stopped being useful and tyrion followed him into that pit of idiocy and they both became empty puppets, only being shadows of the great characters they once were. And that's to name a few but one last crime they commited was the murder of common sense and logic in the series like arya surviving multiple stabs and sansa defending littlefinger because "sHe dOeSn'T tRuSt tHe lOrDs oF tHe vAlE" who grew up with her father and who respect the starks.

It’s crazy to hear you mention the Blackwood Vs bracken duel for a Targaryen princess. And just lastnight I watched the duel take place on HOTD.

[@Lite727]

I love the dark parallels between the Starks and the Boltons. They have so much duality and contrast between them that’s great to see. Ned Stark loved Jon Snow unconditionally and was treated no different than any of his other children. Roose however made Ramsay have to EARN being his son and always reminded him that he was a bastard and it wasn’t his house. Jon in a naive state of mind always inquired who is mother was from early on while Ramsay never cared to ask as the answer was very self explanatory as he had a pretty through understanding of who his father was and how the world worked from a young age. He knew damn well the question of who is mother was wasn’t an important or significant inquiry in the slightest. People follow Jon Snow out of love and the reward of freedom. People follow Ramsay out of fear and reward of breathing a little longer. The Battle of the Bastards. The two ideologies, two polar opposites, so different but so similar collide.

[@A_Black_Sheep94]

Ramsay was a complete monster that made Roose blush and Roose knew it, he didn't want him around. Only after Ramsay killed his heir did he begrudgingly make Ramsay his son and heir.

Ramsay was a sadist and a psychopath, that's the fact, but he has a large brain and had a knack of strategies and tactics to compensate that. He beat his enemies by using unconventional tactics, like against Ironborn stragglers, Stannis the Mannis, and even nearly beaten Jon Snow and the Wildlings, had the Knights of the Vale arrive too late.

The video says rivalries. Which meant they have been fighting or having a feud for several years.

[@Naldo2406]

Imagine a scene between Ned and Roose. That would've been interesting

[@MrDarkkamui]

Roose feared Ned's father, Lord Rickard Stark. Lord Rickard forbade the Boltons to flay their enemies and/or the smallfolk in the North, he also forbade his Lords from exercising "The right of the first night". Roose Bolton practiced the "right if the first night" this is very clear in the books and it is more than likely that he flayed people from time to time. However he always made sure that the people living on his lands would be so scared of him that they would never run to the Warden of the North and rat him out. He did the same when Ned become the Warden of the North and Lord of Winterfell after his father and older brother were killed. And Ned never trusted Roose it is even stated in the books. Robb however was an idiot who forgot that the Boltons fought wars against Starks for thousands of years and that they even flayed several Stark princes in the past, yet he trusted Roose Bolton enough to appoint him as one of his main war generals and he even gave him command of the majority of the Northern forces when he ( Robb ) came up with the plan to send most of his forces to distract Tywin Lannister and his host while Robb and the remaining Northern forces and the Freys defeated Jaime ( because Robb came up with a plan to trick Jaime into following a small host led by Blackfish who were harassing the Lannister forces in order to piss off Jaime so Jaime followed them with only a fraction of his host ). Point being, Roose used this as an opportunity to send Stark men and Stark loyalist to the front lines to be destroyed by Tywin and his host and by doing this he effectively weakened House Stark and it's military power.

[@zagreus1023]

@@MrDarkkamui Well Roose stayed under the radar after Rickard and just bided his time until he was given the chance by Tywin and Jaime. But as far as Robb knew (when he marched south) Roose was loyal to them since he fought with Ned in two wars and answered the Robb’s call.

Bolton brutality does not surprise me: i don't think they are just savages, but instead that they try to compensate they inferior forces with fear, trying to scare people from joining the Starks, more or less like terrorism.

[@yggdrasil3]

There's a theory that they also consider the Starks to be inhuman, because of their tendency to skinchange.

[@MM-xm5vx]

Yggdrasil I wish that theory gets confirmed, I like the idea of starks being evil skin changers and Bolton’s defending against them.

[@princexizor5151]

Yggdrasil yeah and its probably true, GRRM has another story where some wargs are skinned by their enemies and worn as cloaks for that very reason. They see them as animals. And seeing as Jon, Robb, Arya, Rickon and Bran can all skin change with dire wolves its not crazy to believe that back then when there were more direwolves this was a much more common practice and the Boltons knew about it

[@adbylsh2756]

And bracken and the blackwood

[@micahwoodcock636]

Perhaps the Stark Kings of Winter were the aggressors. The tactics of the Bolton Red Kings of the Dreadfort had to compensate for inferior numbers originally. Then, over time, they gathered enough strength to nearly match the Starks. Even "Our Blades Are Sharp" connotes defensiveness. Like a cornered animal baring its fangs.

[@bartimaeusofuruk9681]

House Tyrell is only rivals with about every other great house in the reach. They're all pissed that Aegon I made the Tyrells wardens of the south and not one of them. The Tyrells were the stewards of the Gardener Kings, not as ancient and noble as the rest of them.

[@bartimaeusofuruk9681]

Kevin Warburton Because they control Highgarden with all its incomes, and I'm pretty sure they tax their vassals. But before Aegon I came, they were stewards to the Gardeners (like the Cassels to the Starks) and the other reach houses already were where they are today.

[@mr.googoopants3581]

Kevin Warburton I doubt that the Tyrells, even as Lords of Highgarden are the richest in the Reach. That distinction should be given to House Hightower who were described in the books as "As rich as the Lannisters". It should be noted that even the Tyrells cannot control the Hightowers should they decide to move or exert their power. This can be said during the Dance of the Dragons when even the House Tyrell can't put a leash on the Hightowers who they described as their "Overmighty vassals". If Reach was France during midieval times and the Tyrells were the Valois kings of France, then the Hightowers are the Dukes of Burgundy, vassals they might be but they are far richer and more powerful than the King of France himself.

[@alejosantacruz7]

@@mr.googoopants3581 Olenna is actually a Hightower right?

[@mr.googoopants3581]

@@alejosantacruz7 She's was actually born as Lady Olenna Redwyne. House Redwyne is arguably the 3rd most powerful house in the Reach, just after the Hightowers and Tyrells. The Redwynes owns the largest naval fleet fleet in Westeros, with Lord Redwyne owning 200 warships and 1000 merchant ships. They are also very rich due to their monopoly of the expensive Red and Gold Arbor Wine.

The Glovers are not lords, but masters. They are like landed knights of the north, because the north doesn't have knights. So i think that the greatjon wanted to march in the front because of prestige and not because they dont like Glovers or something.

[@faze_buendia9514]

I would think the Targaryen and Martell rivalry would be one for the ages as well. Aegon the conqueror lost his favorite wife to Dorne, before that the Martell matriarch pretty much spit in Raenys' face, they had 3 Dornish wars because the 'Kings' of Dorne, the Martells, wouldn't bend the knee. The only way they were brought into the 7 kingdoms is with an alliance marriage.

House Tyrell and House Florent. When Aegon eradicated House Gardener he appointed Highgarden's steward, Harlen Tyrell, and his family (House Tyrell) as new Lord Paramounts of the Reach. The main issue is that the Florents think they have a better claim to Highgarden because they descent from House Gardener's paternal line, while the Tyrells only descent from Gardener's maternal line. You could also see this rivalry when Tyrell decided to support Renly, and Florent supported Stannis.

The Tyrells of the Reach and the Florents of Brightwater keep have a feud with each other too. The Florents says that the Reach shoud have been given to them when Aegon the Conqueror got the Seven Kingdoms, because they have a stronger claim by having a better ancestry to the then ruling house of the Reach, house Gardener, compared to the Tyrells. In the war of the five kings, the Florents fought for Stannis instead of Renly, claimant to the Iron Throne that their liege lords, the Tyrells, sided with.

Fun Facts: House Blackwood were also made King of the Riverlands. This happened just after Lord Roderick Blackwood rebelled alongside houses Vance of Atranta and Tully of Riverrun against King Humfrey I of House Teague when he banned the worship of the old gods i the Riverlands. Lord Roderick was also supported by his son-in-law King Arlan III of House Durrandon, King of the Stormlands. The rebels won and Lord Roderick was also made king but unfortunately, he died in battle before he can be crowned. Lord Roderick's heir aas only a boy of 8 at that time and so King Arlan III suggested that Lord Roderick's elder daughter Lady Shiera Blackwood who was married to an older son of King Arlan III serve as regent of the Riverlands with his son on her side until the boy comes of age but the Riverlords were against being ruled by a woman, and so, King Arlan III just incorporated the Riverlands to his domain instead. House Manderly would have been kings of the Reach. This happened when Garth X of House Gardener, King of the Reach died. King Garth X sired no sons, only daughters with one daughter married to Lord Manderly and the other to Lord Peake. Upon the king's death, both lords were determined to make their wives succeed as queen. What follows were are series of wars, treachery and bloodshed. This only resolved when the knight Ser Osmund Tyrell placed King Garth X's second cousin to the throne instead and became King Mern VI, and he then installed Ser Osmund Tyrell as High Steward of Highgarden. This is also probably one of the reasons why years later King Perceon III of House Gardener along with Lord Peake had House Manderly exiled from the Reach, because aside from their growing power and wealth, a strong claim to the throne is what sealed their fate in the Reach.

I love you and your vids you are great man keep this up Love from Hungary

[@pranavs14]

Damn the animations you created are amazing

[@nunyabiznes33]

Martells VS Whoever is sitting in Highgarden. I just think they're envious.

[@joeyfisher3838]

Brackens and blackwoods is the Hatfields and McCoy’s of Westeros

[@golammorshed2007]

Hey bro, you should make a video on Jon Snow’s Kings Guards. When Jon was a baby, ser Arthur Dayne, Gerold and oswell fought Ned and his men to Protect Jon, they were obviously ordered by Raegar but they all knew that the (King)s Aerys and Raeghar died. So because they knew that, it must mean that they were serving as Kings guard for baby Jon Snow, the heir to the throne. I find it really cool how Jon Snow sort of had his own Kings guards when he was just a baby. Maybe he might appoint his own Kings guards one day if he outlives the war against the White walkers. I know that he has already bent the knee to Daenerys but who knows, if they manage to survive the Nights kings army and become rulers of Westeros together then I wonder whom they will pick as their kings/queensguard. What do think? If hypothetically Jon and Danny were to appoint kings guard whom would they choose? I suspect brienne of tarth and possibly a brother of the nights watch and maybe greyworm, or even Daario Naharis maybe..?

[@zhixci958]

Gotenks - Starboy technically they were still the kings guard of aerys, since he is the one who they see as king. And they are sworn to life to protect mainly the king but also the royal family. So no they weren't serving as jon's kings guard they're just there to protect him

[@valleU]

Zhi xci Well, both Aerys and Rhaegar was dead at the time Ned Stark came to the Tower of Joy. Only Viserys and Jon are the male Targaryens left, which I believe makes Jon king, which means they are his Kingsguard.

[@zhixci958]

Valle Paule jon was never crowned.. so again technically he wasnt king. The reason they are there is because they swore an oath to protect the king and the royal family. And most of them were good friends with rhaegar.. but if you want to think they're jon's kingsguard sure why not. The only thing im pointing out is it is wrong because jon was not a crowned king at the time

[@Namenlos-fo1ek]

Zhi xci He was and still is technically the highest Living Targaryen. They sworn to protect their king. And at that point Jon was the king for them. And they wanted to protect the Child of a good friend.

[@Namenlos-fo1ek]

Gotenks - Starboy And you cant have better guards than Arthur Dayn and Gerold Hightower

[@correctopinion505]

House Stark needs to take note of the Rains of Castamere and wipe out every last member of House Bolton.

[@kalletunnellinen6863]

They are extinct.

[@BoomerBaskins]

Can you do a video focusing on all the castles and their locations in detail. I love all your videos. Thank you for them.

[@kenrudd6362]

" had him dismembered piece by piece while she watched." i dont want to know what that means in detail given that he was found in the act with the kings wife

[@TheAGGF75]

Your videos are great!

[@natheriver8910]

Fascinant rivalrys

[@marcino457]

One Who Craves Souls as the background music? I see you’re a man of culture

[@donalddeluxe6407]

Lmao, Quentin martells death was hilarious thinking that he was related to the Targaryens meant he could control dragons. Daynes maybe, Euron might get one of them, and probably John later in the books.

[@stepanpazderka5497]

Great vid. Only thing is that Lannisters were established by Lann the Clever, who was probably an andal, not the first man.

[@roathrobin]

Probably not canon since it's from the game, but another blood feud I find interesting ar the Forresters and Whitehills

[@teckno3025]

a brave little lord, i dont like brave little lords

[@MM-xm5vx]

There rivalry isn’t canon, I’m pretty sure only house forrester is cannon and they only come in as a minor clan to help stannis fight the Bolton’s.

[@dilcoolio9280]

How did you not to mention the tyrell and martells they hated each other since daeron the first

[@naturesbliss2903]

I so enjoy your videos. Love this family rival history. Can't wait till "Fire and Blood" comes out. Do you plan to do history's associated with that book when its ready?

[@whycreate]

I'll definitely be reading it to check if there's any new info and maybe talk about it!

[@pjskywalker2457]

That would be awesome, cuz of the details that you put in your vids 😁

[@antonyli5675]

So why do people see the targaryens as entitled assholes who wrongfully conquered the seven kingdoms, when the starks and martells literally did the same thing, killing other kings and driving houses out of their homes through conquest and yet their seen as heroes to everyone in my opinion their just as bad as the Targaryens if the Targaryens are considered to be wrong for conquering Westeros.

[@gfilmer7150]

The Northerners, Valemen, Ironborn, Westerners, Stormlanders, Reachmen, and Dornishmen saw Aegon and House Targaryen as a foreign invader, a conqueror. The Riverlords saw The Targaryens as liberators. They've been conquered by The Andals, The Stormkings, and The Ironborn. The Ironborn enslaved The Riverlords and they got as far as The Blackwater Rush. Aegon flew in and The Riverlords rallied to his banner before what happened at Harrenhal. The leader of The Riverlords were The Tullys and they became Lord Paramount of The Trident for their loyalty and built Riverrun.

[@sophieblankenburg5143]

Literally they barely ever married out of their family like sister wife was the most common term in their dictionary

[@gfilmer7150]

@@sophieblankenburg5143 Sweet home Alabama.

[@codyvandal2860]

Well strictly speaking - the first men were indigenous to westeros and were invaded by the andals who conquered the south, then westeros was invaded by the rhoynar who conquered the very south, then westeros was invaded by the targaryens who conquered everything BUT the very south which only joined later in a marriage alliance. This parallels the real life inspiration of Britain. Celtic peoples were there first who were invaded by romans, then saxons, then vikings, then normans.

[@gfilmer7150]

@@codyvandal2860 Then after The Normans, The Plantagenets took over.

[@redjirachi1]

Morality is grey? Every villain is the hero of their own story? Apparently no-one told the Boltons that, they're more black and white than the frigging Freys!

[@sebastiankelar7253]

Id argue that Bracken and Blackwood rivalry is the most notorious, even in times of peace they're at each others throats

[@nickdeboer4494]

Strapped my seat and relaxed.

[@Ari33sa]

What about Tully and Frey or Tyrell and Florent? Did the Baratheon's have rivals who wanted to undermine them?

[@jdmj707]

It’s only really seen in the telltale game, but the forrester/whitehill rivalry gets pretty vicious at times (and I think merits some mention)

[@raphaelcaamano1884]

Glad to see somebody mention the rivalry between House Forrester and House Whitehill from the telltale game of GOT. The Forresters are not game-only original characters. They have been a part of the books by George R.R. Martin. House Forrester was passively mentioned in the 2011: A Dance With Dragons, the fifth entry in the book series. But it was in the Telltale Game series that their history and key members were explored in depth.

[@HazzaLad-vz1fy]

It pains me to know we have to wait until 2019 for season 8 and that there is only 6 episodes left until it is finished 😩😭

[@edwardiris58]

Soon

[@slimfoodie3381]

We still have the books & spinoffs.

[@lynnexiaoyu9547]

AGREED😣😢

[@elitheeconomist5674]

It pains me we had to watch those 6 episodes

[@lucvandermeer9674]

They made both sure that there wont be any straks or boltens

[@D0RYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY]

awesome vid bro.

[@dtczyk8976]

Those were some crazy wivalries

[@seansmith6255]

The martells and Tyrells also have a history of on and off rivalry And though although not exactly an Ancient rivalry I feel as though the starks and lannisters are at least worth a mention

[@nilsschneider8517]

Never stop making videos

[@alphaswag95]

Imagine GOT house rivals as nfl teams...I'd watch that.

[@xlnuniex]

Spoiler Alert 4 years in the making. Lol Damn. I just watch this. Now I know where the story is gonna lead in House of Dragons

[@communistsanchez4286]

I thought that the Tarly's hated the Tyrell's, despite being their vassals

[@MM-xm5vx]

Communist Sanchez the whole reach hates the tyrells, they are upjumped servants.

[@_Woody_]

Kind of forgot Wyl and Baratheon.

[@randonceccoli8428]

This makes you wonder why Rob trusts Boltons so much

[@TheMrPeteChannel]

I think the Iron Islands have a bunch of rival houses. I think when they're not raiding Westeros they raid each other.

[@bbyrikh2696]

Can’t believe the Targaryen and Lannister rivalry goes back this far

[@crusadeuswolf]

You forgot about house Forrester and house Whitehill

[@MM-xm5vx]

TronTheWolf there not cannon. And their rivalry doesn’t make sense anyways, the foresters are petty lords who rule a small patch of land in the northern wolfswood, the white hills rule a small patch of land in the southern rills. They don’t border each other.

[@only_one_chrisfantazzi]

NICE VID.. however id argue the blackfyre and targaryen rivalry was the biggest as it involved the whole realm

[@only_one_chrisfantazzi]

@Liz Lee if you had dance its almost 100 , which although not a blackfyre is was still civil war between two legitimate targ factions

[@traggazzo]

All kings and lords/ladies in Westeros bent their knees to Bran " STARK" The Broken . As long as he reigning, Westeros would be peace and prosperous. He got support/ally from the north, Queen Sansa Stark.

[@eyeamhay]

Dude....I really like your videos man! I think this is like the 10th video I have watched! Good work man! Are there any that anyone would recommend for me to watch?

[@Aishahafreena]

I love tywin so much OMAIGEEERRDDDDD
