The Horrific Battle At Tumbleton (Legendary Battles Of Westeros) House Of The Dragon History & Lore

[@kevinneutzling8267]

Ulf and Hugh were just the worst. They didn’t intervene in time to save one of the most important Green lords, they betrayed the Blacks when Westeros may have been a few battles away from peace, and they pointlessly set the entire town ablaze in an act that horrified even the Greens. It’s hard to think how the dragons that once bore the Old King and the Good Queen chose these idiots out of all the dragonseeds.

[@JoseGonzalez-pn5zl]

Exactly the queen should put these idiots turn cloaks to the sword after the fall of kings landing.

[@ggryffiths]

Well said

[@anarion211983]

It is on her head and her lifechoices, full of half-measures: Prince Daemon echoed the queen’s misgivings. Giving pardons to rebels and traitors only sowed the seeds for fresh rebellions, he insisted. “The war will end when the heads of the traitors are mounted on spikes above the King’s Gate, and not before.” Aegon II would be found in time, “hiding under some rock,” but they could and should bring the war to Aemond and Daeron. The Lannisters and Baratheons should be destroyed as well, so their lands and castles might be given to men who had proved more loyal. Grant Storm’s End to Ulf White and Casterly Rock to Hard Hugh Hammer, the prince proposed…to the horror of the Sea Snake.

[@lyndsaybrown8471]

Hmmm, does make you think about how good the Old King and Good Queen were.

[@BlackSteelKeyChain]

Just shows how “dragon choosing people” on a worthy scale is BS. It’s only about having enough magic blood.

[@jesseandersen4055]

Ulf and Hugh’s betrayal certainly ensured the extinction of the dragons. Had they not betrayed rhaenyra, she’d likely have won, and would have had dragons left, and all she’d have to do is kill these treacherous idiots and the dragons would be ready for one of her children to claim later had she had more. Poor Adam died proving his loyalty to rhaenyra. What a guy. I completely misremembered the battles of tumbleton though

[@fouff925]

Im late but Adam is not the brightest considering his men killed the riders, yet he still commanded seasmoke to fight vermithor who wasn't even bonded to anyone

[@jesseandersen4055]

@@fouff925 it was the hightowers who killed ulf and hugh, Adam didn't know they were dead.

[@northernowl22]

Having read Fire and Blood, I do believe this was Roddy The Ruin’s peak moment. I try to imagine the looks of horror and shock on Lord Ormund and Ser Bryndon’s faces seeing a battle hardened, bloody Northerner charging you in a suicide attack. Priceless, I’d say lol.🛡️

[@wayne47able]

with one arm still charging

[@JoseGonzalez-pn5zl]

Death to the turncoat ulf white and Hugh the hammer. The north remembers Lord Roddrick Dustin and the fellow winter wolves 🐺.

[@kevinneutzling8267]

Many of them died in their charge against Lord Hightower. They never expected to return north-they had come for battle, plunder, and so they wouldn’t burden their families in winter.

[@JoseGonzalez-pn5zl]

@@kevinneutzling8267 of course they served well and fought with honor.

[@FireCat34]

Even the green horrific what happened at Tumbleton

[@InfamousB9]

Rhaenyra's first and only mistake was that she didn't let Daemon to be commander of blacks,his original plan to surround Kings Landing from all sides and mount all green heads on spikes would last few days tops,without this bloodshed,specially twice at Tumbelstone

[@beckjayjohn5781]

Rheanyra has to be stupid to make up for daemon not being able to make a mistake he is George RR martins favorite character

[@reyagu4607]

From the show perspective, I think Ulfe is gonna be a drunk opportunist who’ll soon test the limits on either side of the crown to see how far his ambition can take him. As for Hugh I think he’ll lose his family and be pushed to a point of desperation and resentment eventually to apathy towards either the greens or blacks resulting in both atrocities and betrayal.

[@TakeshiSasakl]

Vermithor and Silverwing were Jaeherys and Alysanne's dragons. It's sad that they died due to two incompetent and traitorous bastards.

[@blainecantrell-v7z]

Silverwing doesn’t die but Vermithor, Tessarion, and Seasmoke all die at Tumbleton

[@aegorbittersteel2154]

This was horrific but Battle of the Redgrass Field was tragic Daemon Blackfyre killed after making sure that knight he fought was treated with respect and taken off the battlefield and for this he and his sons were filled with arrows and the battle was lost not to mention loyal Sir Quentyn Fireball was assassinated right before the battle .

[@Edward-o7w]

I think ulf switches sides because he's greedy and lusts for power and wealth. I think Hugh changes sides because he was likely pushed away by Rhaenyras paranoia, terrible leadership and ungratefulness so he decides to become king himself.

[@Trick_or_tren]

When you have power and never had it before , it changes you

[@Tea962]

Yup at least one of them would've risen up against her.

[@tanpham937]

nope, it reveals who you really are, that's why Addam of Hull didn't betray the Blacks and went 1v2 with those traitorous bastards.

[@jacobc4796]

Roddy the ruin is a savage😭😭

[@barryschultz4947]

perhaps someone in the blacks army kills Hugh's wife before the battle and that is why he turns and then Ulf just goes along with him out of fear??

[@Doffythegoat]

That’s an interesting theory

[@wayne47able]

Something is gonna happen to his wife at Tumbleton. She mentioned having family their and my heart dropped. Something terrible is gonna happen and it's gonna make Hugh flip.

[@VeniVidiVici100]

Knowing the writers of the show they’ll make this simple, they don’t want a women on the throne making them “sexiest” and that’s it.

[@Mutazili]

They set Hugh as good and his wife is there, so I don't know how it will play out, maybe Daeron will capture her and torture her to get Hugh on his side...

[@NRV0]

Why these two beautiful creatures allowed these low men become their riders is beyond me.

[@wayne47able]

The Blacks may have lost this battle but the Winter Wolves were victorious

[@TravisBrady-wn8fr]

I enjoy your narrations much better than the jumbled up tv show.

so who thinks this happens in season 4? maybe the end of season 3, but I'm thinking season 3 will end with the battle of the gullet

I think we will get the battle of the gullet tomorrow at the end of season 2

[@ManforSomeMarkets]

Gullet should have happened this season, so Tumbleton will probably end up being late season 3.

[@Thrawn23.]

The Gullet will be the beginning. Honeywine will be in the middle. I think the setup to the Tumbleton battle will be the towards the end

[@InfamousB9]

Roddy the Ruin😎

[@MarcelaRitz]

Is it really betrayal or the dragons run amok and can’t be controlled by their riders?

[@tanpham937]

bruh did you even watch the video? it clearly said they switched side because they thought the Greens would reward them way more than the Blacks.

If only Rhaenyra wasn't so cheap with Hugh and Ulf.

[@tanpham937]

only if Hugh and Ulf weren't so greedy and wanted more than the should, she gave them knighthood and opportunity to become dragon riders while they were nothing but bastards, most people would kill just to have those.

[@TravelsoftheCat]

@@tanpham937 No, it's not about being content with having less. It's about ensuring they have the loyalty of Ulf and Hugh as long as possible until the war with the Greens have been won. Daemon knew how to control Ulf and Hugh, but as usual Rhaenyra made stupid wishy washy, indecisive, and fearful decisions. Give them what they want for now. You can always take it back later when you have a "hunting accident", etc, usual Daemon stuff.
