Valar Rereadis: Fire & Blood - Unbowed

Most bent the knee to the overwhelming might of the dragons. This may have made Aegon overconfident, as he assumed the submission of Dorne and a few other holdouts. That they defied the Conqueror makes them all the braver, or perhaps all the more foolish. </p> Bonus Eps & More - www.patreon.com/historyofwesteros</p> Shirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.com</p> Nina: goodqueenaly.tumblr.com</p> Sean's YouTube: bit.ly/3818H9X</p> www.historyofwesteros.com</p>

Valar Rereadis: Fire & Blood - Bend the Knee

With Harrenhal a smoking ruin and the largest army ever seen in Westeros defeated with ease, many rulers decide, at last, that they have no choice but to bend the knee to Aegon the Conqueror. We examine the events of the time as well as how these legends appear to the characters and how they manifest within ASOIAF ~300 years later.</p> Use code 50westeros at https://www.hellofresh.com/50westeros for 50% off plus free shipping! </p> Bonus Eps & More - www.patreon.com/historyofwesteros</p> Shirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.com</p> Nina: goodqueenaly.tumblr.com</p> Sean's YouTube: bit.ly/3818H9X</p> www.historyofwesteros.com</p>

Valar Rereadis: Fire & Blood - The Field of Fire

The largest army Westeros has ever seen vs. Vhagar, Meraxes and Balerion - the only time the three fought together. It's shock and awe with dragons... but it's not the battle that we consider the best part of this story. He wasn't taking on a hated tyrant, rather quite the opposite. The Gardeners were the most famous family in Westeros, and the Lannisters had a castle even Balerion couldn't melt. Aegon had to be ruthless and delicate at the same time.</p> <br /></p> Use code 50westeros at https://www.hellofresh.com/50westeros for 50% off plus free shipping! </p> Bonus Eps & More - www.patreon.com/historyofwesteros</p> Shirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.com</p> Nina: goodqueenaly.tumblr.com</p> Sean's YouTube: bit.ly/3818H9X</p> www.historyofwesteros.com</p>

Valar Rereadis: Fire & Blood - The Riverlands Reborn

The Riverlords kneel to Aegon the Conqueror just outside of still-smoldering Harrenhal, and he bestows new titles and castles while dividing the kingdom of Isles of Rivers. As the Riverlands is reborn again, we take a look back 400 years to the last time they were ruled from within, and a war that pitted House Blackwood and the Storm King against the King of Rivers and Hills. </p> Bonus Eps & More - www.patreon.com/historyofwesteros</p> Shirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.com</p> Nina: goodqueenaly.tumblr.com</p> Sean's YouTube: bit.ly/3818H9X</p> www.historyofwesteros.com</p>
