So this went live about five hours early but to hell with it lets just roll with it

[@aegorbittersteel2154]

Thank you for the great surprise and content.

My favorite Targaryen. Remember in GOT when Janos Slynt mocks Jon for "talking like a wildling" and Jon says "Aye I talk like a wildling! I ate with the wildlings. I climbed the wall with the wildlings. I lay with a wildling girl"? I think it would be neat if in some future adaptation featuring Egg or perhaps even in Fire & Blood Vol. 2 he says something similar to that when mocked for being "half a peasant" by the other lords.

[@WorldOfWesteros]

I could definitely see that being some sort of line in f&b2 or s future dunk and egg story. Im curious as to what happens with the tv show after the finish the three books

[@JoseGonzalez-pn5zl]

Man Egg had some child hood a prince of the realm who adventures took him all over his future kingdom.

[@WorldOfWesteros]

He saw his kingdom in a way no other king has

[@aegorbittersteel2154]

1st to take the Black for House Blackfyre🗡 Happy Blackfyre Friday!! Egg is great after seeing that Blackfyres and their supporters are people too I wonder if he could have worked something out with Prince Aenys Blackfyres.

[@Spongebrain97]

Egg probably would have yeah. If Aenys wasn't picked to be king Egg wouldn't have had him killed. Because by then Egg had a more nuanced take on the Blackfyre Rebellions after spending time with Ser Eustace and knew that Bittersteel wouldn't stop rebelling, Egg most likely would've brought Aenys back into the realm and restablished House Blackfyre to keep the peace at least with some of them. Aenys afterall was the heir of Daemon Blackfyre and not Bittersteel. I think it would be a neat scenerio where like Egg offers pardons to some of the exiled lords. Bittersteel of course would've declined but perhaps like half of the Golden Company would've returned home and left him behind

[@aegorbittersteel2154]

@@Spongebrain97 Exactly plus Prince Aenys and the Golden Company members that came back could have become a base of support for Egg.

Egg...Egg...mother is looking for you...Egg! Egg I dream that I was old...😢

[@TheChronicMan]

I think The Hedge Knight tv series all hangs onto the casting of Duncan. I always get a sense that hes what we think a young Ned Stark was like. Honorable, smart, loyal, and a warrior.

Even though his grandfather was a usurper, that stole the throne from the true king Daemon I, egg Is one of my favorite kings. A knight of the seven kingdoms is what made me start the main series. Great novellas.

[@aegorbittersteel2154]

Such wise words Long Live House Blackfyre🗡

[@WorldOfWesteros]

Sometimes I genuinely enjoy them more than the main books depending on my mood

[@ryansteenburgh9896]

Are you insane we all know egg stole the throne from his nephew Maegor. The son of Aerion Brightflame the greatest dragon who ever lived. Now he could have great as the first Maegor.

[@aegorbittersteel2154]

@nightman1790 King Daemon Blackfyre the 1st was an honorable charming and skilled warrior who seemingly didn't even want to rebel. The Sword was important, but it was also about who he was as a person. If Bittersteel or Bloodraven had Blackfyre, I don't think as many would be pushing to make them King.

[@ryansteenburgh9896]

@aegorbittersteel2154 while I do agree that Daemon Blackfyre did have all of these traits. Didn’t Baelor Breakspear share these qualities as well. He may not have been described as a Valyrian god like warrior like Daemon but I would say he was definitely the better man. Even if he got head smashed.😁

[@machinegunftw86]

Seriously, where can I find and buy this map?

[@apacalypsagon3758]

Wasn't sure how i felt about egg as king. Looking at it after a while i definitely think he was a real progressive leader. Letting blood raven keep datk sister and disssuading the practice of incest felt to me he wanted his house to assimilate fully into westeros instead of hanging onto their looks or personal power.

[@thatoneblackdude3333]

By this point from aegons point of view the Incest had no true purpose anymore other than clinging to past glory , from a objective standpoint it makes sense to distance themselves from outdated beliefs but as aegon soon found out Targaryens are going to Targaryen whether you like it or not.

[@orangesilver4568]

He was loved by the small folks so that made him a good king of the people. Him trying to end the incest was helping make the Targaryens be closer to Westeros and give the other houses more influence.

[@thatoneblackdude3333]

We're winding down on our targ king journey only 2 kings left .

[@WorldOfWesteros]

I have some big plans for Bobby B, but it's gonna take a while to cook. i defiantly plan to redo Aegon i, Aenys and Maegor, while i work on that as they were the first videos i made and frankly my audio has gotten way better and i was not using my own map plus i kinda rushed though them and could go into much more depth.

Just sad to read about his life as a child with Dunk then become infatuated with dragons and fire almost destroying the entire line

[@melanoidmarkus]

[@Hochspitz]

And then Egg also became obsessed and Summerhall happened. The dragon dreams are really bad news for those who have them and don't understand what they are. "Jeez, I need a dragon or wildfire, dunno why exactly, just gotta keep trying to get three Heads of the Dragon!" Ooops I went bat shit crazy!

[@callie1857]

If I was an heir to the iron throne and got sent to the church to be a septa or maester because “there’s too many heirs” I’d be so angry.

[@thatoneblackdude3333]

Idk it's ether that or you end up dying due to some random accident id say aemon got off lucky .

[@Baelor-Breakspear]

I did die of my wounds I think it was bloodravens doing

[@TheDeadlyKnight]

In my headcanon, Egg & Maester Aemon’s upbringing mirrors what we see later in the play of Robb & Jon, playing legendary heroes like Daeron the Young Dragon & the Lord of Winterfell.
