Complete History Of Aegon's Conquest | House Of The Dragon / ASOIAF History and Lore Explained

Video Description

Step into the fire and blood of Westeros as we explore Aegon’s Conquest—the epic campaign where Aegon I Targaryen, with his sisters Visenya and Rhaenys, and three mighty dragons (Balerion, Vhagar, Meraxes), united six of the Seven Kingdoms and forged the Iron Throne. In this video, we'll cover the timeline from 2 BC to 1 AC, including pivotal battles like the Burning of Harrenhal, the Field of Fire, the submission of Torrhen Stark (The King Who Knelt), the submission of the Vale, and the defiant stand of Dorne. Discover how strategic dragonfire, political alliances, and decisive battles shaped the early Targaryen reign. Unpack details like Aegon’s Landing, the formation of Aegonfort, the melting of the swords into the Iron Throne, and the anointing of Aegon by the High Septon. Learn about the aftermath: how Westeros was reorganized under the Targaryen crown, and how the Wars of Conquest set the stage for future conflict like the Dornish Wars.

The ASOIAF Wiki has been used to confirm order of events and clarify discrepancies between sources. George R.R. Martin's blog posts have also been used as a source and like the wiki i to do consider this information canon. Any similarity of this video to the structure of these sources is a consequence of the subject matter of the video and limited sources dictating the way in which events played out with no room for interpretation. In some areas it can be very difficult to make the script 100% different as stated in the sources without just making it up which isn't the point of these videos. There are places it's more similar to the sources than i like but with no way to really spin it a different way, given in many case, it's physically the only way to approach the subject. Information strictly from the TV show has not been used in these video unless stated otherwise. The Dance Of The Dragons will be the focus of the plot of the new HBO spin-off House Of The Dragon coming in 2022. So if you want to learn the story before we see HBO's take on it then this will be a very long-running series. Game Of Thrones / House of the dragon are HBO shows based on George R R Martin's A Song Of Ice And Fire series. The information in this video comes from the books a world of ice and fire as well as fire and blood. ----------------------------------------------- SOCIAL MEDIA ------------------------------------------------ https://twitter.com/World0fWesteros https://www.instagram.com/Dylan_ellcome https://www.facebook.com/WorldOfWesteros ----------------------------------------------- ART LINKS ----------------------------------------------- The following link is for all the art that I use, if you see an image in this video a link to the source of it will be there, and the name of the artist if it's possible to find.
