Jaehaerys' reign is probably my favourite period in all of ASOIAF, I really hope we one day get a show about it; particularly his early reign and drama regarding his children. The death of Alyssa Velaryon, Alysanne in the North, everything about Rhaena's tragic life, there's so much there to draw from.

[@scarymonsterzz]

Rhaena never wanted to usurp Jaehaerys. In fact, she supported his claim over Maegor even though she actually had the better claim. She hated politics and King's Landing. She was done with that life. My heart breaks for Rhaena. She had such a hard life: father screwed her and her brother over with his incompetent rule, husband killed, separated from her daughters, forced to marry the uncle who killed her husband. Her brother and sister pretty much swooped in to take the throne even though her daughter had the better claim. Her mom dies before they can reconcile. Girlfriends are all either killed or leave her. AND on top of all that, her daughter dies horrifically. I've seen a lot of people place blame on Rhaena for her estranged relationship with her daughters but it's not surprising given they needed to be separated for so long. Plus Rhaena gives me big autistic/adhd vibes: she dearly loved her animals, close friends, and family but just had trouble expressing it.

[@duskymoor9]

My sympathy for Rhaena ended w/ her treatment of Andro Farman, whom was clearly a useful idiot , as her beard against suspicions of her and Elissa's relationship. His is a life of tragedy as well. I can't help but envision him as a kind of "Napoleon Dynamite" who thought he was escaping Fair Isle with his sister and her girlfriend, only to find a life of more derision and obsolescence on Dragonstone, amongst the hyper-privileged and spoiled. While it doesn't excuse his homicides, I don't think his treatment at Rhaena's court makes her losses of hangers-on entirely sympathetic.

[@scarymonsterzz]

@duskymoor9 nah androw was a lil bitch. dude could have just fucked off and gotten a lil side piece of his own and did his thing. instead he poisons Rhaena's gfs just bc his fee fees are hurt, then kills himself to avoid punishment. dude is the definition of small dick energy.

[@duellstaples2094]

​@@duskymoor9see, I completely agree, I'm more sympathetic with Andro

[@cwalter-iz5hl]

also her husband killed all of her friends.

[@christinerobbins9376]

Well...there *is* that one scene between Rhaena & Alyssanne the night before Aerea steals away with Balerion. Rhaena & Aera had a huge fight because Alyssanne had agreed to let Aera return to KL with her. Aera was bored on Dragonstone and she dearly missed the excitement of living at court and being the recognized heir. But Rhaena tells her sister, "you have my throne and my crown, you want my daughter as well? Well, you will not have her!" I think there was *some* bitterness in Rhaena over all she had lost, even if she DID hate politics and King's Landing.

[@D2attemp]

The Night’s Watch sending Bastard Children to the Others is like moving out of an apartment completely and still paying rent for the next 8000 years because you’re such a nice person.

[@ty814]

"He grows larger everyday" till now this was the most badass scenario between a Targeryan king and another noble.

[@Alejojojo6]

Rhaena never tried to overtake the seat of his brother. It was expected for him to be king above her most probably, but she was just mad that Aerea which was the daughter of Aegon the eldest male in the family that had been killed by their uncle Maegor was put aside in the succession. In fact, later Rhaena and her sibblings reconciliated and got along (specially after Rhaella had chosen to become a septa and Aerea had died).

[@videobooks3]

That's fair, but had Aerea controlled Balerion, her and Rhaena could have easily taken the Iron Throne, which is what Aerea wanted and Rhaena knew that

[@ShadowShroud7]

It should be pointed out that Rhaena herself supported Jaehaerys' claim against Maegor over her own daughter after escaping Maegor. So she can be mad about Aerea being passed over if she wants, but its partially her own doing as well.

[@ickyfist]

She didn't try because she knew it was futile. No one liked her whereas Jahaerys was loved. She had no power. She was obviously very bitter and felt the throne was hers by right but she was too mentally defeated to bother doing anything about it.

@@videobooks3 The 7 bless us

[@thewerdna]

I don't buy the poisoning incident with Rheana being part of the conspiracy, only because the motive seems incredibly weak. At that point she was so far out of the line of succession that they would have had much more pressing targets. She was almosy certainly not worth the effort, so I think Andro worked alone there, maybe with thst Maester being involved only. I just can't see the conspiracy bothering with such an pointless plot when they had bigger things to worry about. Too little gain for the effort, especially on such a sloppy plan

[@videobooks3]

That's fair, but where would Androw get the poison from and how would he get enough of it to poison all of Rhaena's friends? The Tears of Lys is extremely expensive and hard to come by

[@SNBullen0002]

​@videobooks3 Also I don't think she was poisoned because of her claim on the throne, but her ability to hatch dragons. They were after the dragons.

[@RightsForZombies]

I think this video is fantastic and while I don’t agree with every theory, it’s presented really well and definitely did justice to perhaps my favourite part of the book. Also, always happy to see a fellow Aussie making ASOIAF content! My only critique is that you misread words or mispronounce them about once every second on-screen page. I’m not talking about in-universe names/places/words, if that helps. I’m talking about relatively mundane words like ‘learned’ and ‘menagerie’. I’m only mentioning it because it was quite frequent and I think it would elevate your already fantastic videos to maybe slow down a little so you don’t accidentally misread words or practice reading what you’re recording for the session out loud if you reasonably can to cut down on those mistakes. We all come up against words we mispronounce or aren’t familiar with, it’s unavoidable. Nobody’s perfect, we all make mistakes. I used to work professionally as an actor and did a lot of voiceover work for radio and TV. Because of that I know what it’s like to record dialogue for hours. It’s harder than most people realise. What a lot of people don’t realise is how much pressure there is to do things both correctly and quickly in voice acting. Professionally, it’s because booth time is expensive. With KZbin you have the same pressure but it’s due to far more complex things like upload deadlines and balancing other projects or a job, and audience pressure/expectation. Many KZbinrs also have to deal with writing, editing and all the other production aspects on their own or with minimal help. All I ever had to do was audition, familiarise myself with the script and show up to record so I have so much respect for everything you put into your content. I also think must be infinitely harder with an internet audience constantly pointing out your mistakes. I know I’m literally doing that, but I’m honestly not trying to be a dick. I normally wouldn’t bring it up but because it happened consistently and I felt like I could contribute more than just ‘you’re making mistakes’, which is never helpful. I know that was kind of an essay but I really don’t want to nitpick or be a negative asshole so I would rather overexplain than just give critique that could easily be seen as bad faith nitpicking. People are really savage about those kinds of mistakes, and I’ve noticed people can be especially brutal when people do ASOIAF readings like you’re doing, so I’m sorry if this feels like I’m contributing. I subscribed and really hope you continue making amazing videos as in depth as this one and your others.

I wanna see a show about the conqueror, Aegon the first, and Maegor the cruel, their very important in the Targaryen story

[@user-tm6vj5dl2k]

Eh... There are more important stories to tell Aegons story, is no different than any conqueror, except he has dragons, never really conquered the 7 kingdoms and his dream, "song of ice and fire", which could have just been him, losing his mind in his own way... Mad king shows it is possible and the saying "every time a Targaryen is born, the Gods flip a coin". All that's important about him, was he introduced dragons to the north, using them to get the thrown and if his dream, was truly a vision or he just believed it was. First of the first men, is a much more important story, since they were the first conquerors and fought against the children of the forest. Learning who the CoTF made into the night king is at the top of the list of importance and why did beings, who used magic on someone, but created a villain to all living things, they couldn't control is up there as well. Aegons dream could have been just a dream, the song of ice and fire, had 1000 years, to be partially true, since it seems so many families share blood to a degree, that the chances of his ancestors and a stark would have a kid. He wasn't the prince that was promised (based on the movie), John Snows name, was apparently cursed, according to irgit and many other things, that make it seem like, he just believed it was a vision. The 3 eyed Raven could have also interfered with him, making him believe he had "the vision". I just don't think his conquest would be as worth learning about as so many other things. Like Valeria, up to it's fall, the wars starting with the FoTFM and the CoTF or even the current show, which is leading us to believe, all of these great houses, past and present, have actually crossed blood lines at some point. I mean heck, I was surprised learning the barathatheons, shared blood with the Targaryens. Those alone have so much that can be explained and answered, including anything about Aegons conquest, so it's be better to do Targaryens, pre conquest and who knows, maybe grey scale being their fall, could be related to other magical beings, forcing them to fight their own "white walkers", because they didn't leave to conquer, they left, because they lost their home... Heck, even with their dragons, whatever happened, it was MUCH easier to conquer 6 of 7, kingdoms in the north, than it was to save their own home. Sir jorah could have cut them down by himself, if he had his sword, while taking tyrian. Just my thoughts though

The Showrunner has said that HOT D could be a banner used for shows about the other Targaryen Kings once they are done with The Dance. So hopefully we can get The Conquest, Maegor & even the Blackfyre Rebellions down the road.

Pretty long intro

[@MileyCyrusSwollenGums]

Jaehaerys was the greatest Targ king of all time imo even over Aegon the Conquerer.

[@GhostEmblem]

The bit with the white walkers and the lords first night makes no sense bastards were not being sent to the wall, those who were sent weren't sent beyond the wall and the nights watch was well manned that such a thing wouldnt be necessary also why would it take hundreds of years.Such a shame that people remember them by how the show presented them, the show made the others horned demons but they were supposed to be more ethereal and like tolkiens elves.

[@casey2346]

at least to me it seems like calling Rhaena "Queen Rhaena" is like calling the candidate that lost a presidential election "Mr. President"

Bro you need to be more clear when you are talking about the actual content of the book vs when you’re just throwing out theory and conjecture, at present you’re just talking as if it’s all fact/canon, when in actuality there’s so much shit that you are straight up just making up

We use italics for book and normal text for analysis

[@ingainloggningsnamn]

How could Jaehaerys' sister, Rhaena, have a stronger claim to the throne? Was she his half-sister or something?

[@SGTWashington1]

I may be mistaken but it's because Maegor wanted her to be the heir because she was his daughter.

[@hellfiremorningstar6651]

She’s older and was married to the brother who was supposed to become king. Making her claim stronger then Jarhaerys’. And then she also married her uncle who then named her daughter his heir.

[@crabscycle988]

@@adoreiification If you're saying that he had his death coming, I agree. What annoys me is how easy he got off, with all the worst stuff only happening to him after he suffered a quick and painless death by falling when the perfect punishment had just been decreed.

[@adoreiification]

@crabscycle988 nu uh, I am talking about the queen's friends. They treated him like garbage and led his own wife to doing the same. He had no friends either so he's basically the embodiment of a school shooter

[@crabscycle988]

@@adoreiification She made it very obvious that she wasn't marrying him for love, and told him he could have a mistress if he wanted. He chose to be alone, and resented his wife for his own choices, and chose to remedy his own pathetic nature in a horrifying and cruel way. Androw is easily one of my most hated characters in the entire series.

[@adamantiiispencespence4012]

​@@crabscycle988no one in that union made a choice. To some degree Androw least of all. Regardless she made their marriage a parade of humiliations for him even when he tried to be kind and loving to her. While I don't agree with his actions he deserved some form of revenge or restitution.
