Hey Youtubers, it's Charlie so Daenerys Targaryen has a whole lot in common with her predecessor
Aegon the conqueror.

So the story.
They on the conqueror in Daenerys Targaryen actually starts before the Doom of Valyria
Daenerys's predecessor Dan is the dreamer from who.
Her name flows who had a vision of the Doom of Valyria about 12 years before it happened.
So the head of the Targaryen household.
At that time radar Targaryen took his family all of their holdings all of their dragons
everything and migrated to a valyrian outpost that was Dragon stone and made their home.
There, so 12 years later the Doom of Valyria happen and within about six generations Aegon
was born is a being about 87 years after the Doom of Valyria.
So during that time after the Doom of Valyria and during Aegon's early childhood.
There was this giant power vacuum left by the fall of the valyrian freehold so there
were constant wars people vying for power the rise of the free cities places like slavers
Bay as a child Aegon was watching this all happen so the only real conflict that he got
involved in in the East before he conquered west roast was as the Lantus was trying to
expand its territory of Lantus here was attacking tyro's and pintos trying to expand Aegon Road
Balerion the black dread in support of Pentos entire roast and basically burn the opposing
forces fleet before he could attack just like Daenerys this past season in episode nine
earned the great masters fleet before he could finish laying siege to Marine so that war
with Volantis was the last major conflict that Aegon got involved in in the East before
the conqueror of west roast after that he lost complete interest in the East.
So in the years before the conquest is Aegon was growing up he visited west roast a number
of times with his sisters.
He visited Oldtown he visited Lantus port he was guest of some of the other lords.
So he spent a lot of time in the kingdom he commissioned the great table carved in the
shape of west roast like a giant map table that you saw on the first couple seasons of
the TV show he commissioned that long before the conquest of the seven kingdoms.
So at the time just like was happening in the East, just constant wars people vying
for power, the same thing was happening in west roast the Starks rule the North.
The gardeners not the Tyrell's ruled the reach that actually happen after the war of conquest,
so we'll talk about that in the second house Aaron still ruled the veil the Martell's still
rule down and Dorne here in the river lands and here in the storm Lance there were two
lords named Aaron whore cold here in the black and are galactic the arrogant they were to
the most belligerent petty kings at the time and west roast inherent whore of Harrenhal
was pushing down into the storm land stealing territory from our galactic.
So are galactic in fear reached out to Aegon the conqueror and said please support us,
help us get rid of Heron whore all promise you the hand of marriage to my daughter because
Aegon was already married to his two sisters in order to cement the alliance.
He offered the hand of his closest friend and Bastard half-brother Orys Baratheon and
so if you guys didn't know he was the first of the house of breath and it was formed during
the conquest but yours was sort of the Jon snow the family at the time he was a Targaryen
Bastard.
So he was Aegon's half-brother so he still had noble blood in him are galactic cut off
the hands of Aegon's envoy, just completely offended by the idea that his daughter would
marry a Bastard instead of marrying Aegon himself so Aegon countered back that as part
of the dowry he would have to give up a bunch of his land in what is now the crown lands
basically like a buffer between the storm Lance in between the river lands in the territory
that Heron whore controlled.
So are galactic, feeling very weak wanted to create this Targaryen buffer between him
and Heron whore.
So after our galactic rejected Aegon's offer of Orys Baratheon and's marriage to cement
the alliance and sent the envoys hands back in a box seven days after deliberating on
the matter Aegon sent ravens to all of the kings of west roast in the message read from
this day forth they would be but one King of west roast those who been the need to Aegon
of house Targaryen would keep their lands and titles.
Those who took up arms against them would be thrown down, humbled and destroyed, so
a lot of you know that the iron throne is made from the melted swords of the people
who did not bend the need to Aegon the cocker so like the Starks for instance bend the knee.
Meaning that their blades were not melted down in the iron throne.
In this is a picture of the actual iron throne is, it's meant to be not the one on the TV
show so it wasn't like he just melted down the swords of the fallen lords.
It was like the Lord's and all the people under him there were thousands of swords that
were melted down to make this solo people is wonder are there valyrian sores that were
melted down there in the iron throne know that is not the case valyrian swords of that
time were extremely rare, extremely precious just like they are today.
There more scarce today but at that time they were still pretty rare.
So most of those are just regular steel swords, but what happened is is that initially during
the conquest Aegon did not have the most massive army he gained support over time.
At the time of the conquest.
There were seven kings of west roast seven kingdoms get the idea Torrhen Stark in the
North.
Ronnel Arryn in the veil Harren Hoare in the river lands Loren Lannister in the Westerlands
Meryn Gardner King of the reach Argilac King of the storm Lance and Mariam Martell an 80-year-old
woman who was ruling Dorne at the time so of those seven kings you notice that there
are three houses that aren't around anymore house whore house Durand an in-house Gardner
one of the first houses to fall was Harrenhal.
They called the burning of Harrenhal which is why the stone looks all melted, there was
a scene with Arya during season two I think where they get taken to the Lannister control
Harrenhal Gendry Hot pie wonder why the stones look all melted and Arya replies dragons codify
mouse strike in darkness that Cisco, so the story of Harrenhal itself the castle is pretty
ridiculous.
It was meant to be this giant monstrosity to tower over all other castles to show everyone
that Heron whore was the most mighty king in west roast.
So of course in spectacular fashion Aegon melted most of the towers.
So it still exists because we visited it during the first couple of seasons on the show that
there after it was said that the place was cursed in each new Lord to hold the castle
met an untimely end just terrible things would happen there, so you never want to be gifted
with Harrenhal is always a great thing when the king gives you a castle Harrenhal is the
only one that you do not want after the conquest of the river lands he moved down to the storm
Lance and Concord are galactic territory took it for himself and gave it to Orys Baratheon
of marrying him to relax daughter creating house Baratheon and so that was the beginning
of the Baratheon and's in the storm Lance, so a lot of your wondering yes Gendry does
share a small amount of genetic material with Daenerys there like very, very, very distant
cousins.
Next he conquered the Westerlands in the reach there was a very famous encounter called the
field of fire whereby the gardeners had their armies mast ready to fight in an open field
Aegon Road is Dragon and burn the entire field tens of thousands of soldiers to the ground
and that was the end of house Gardner when he then went to high garden the Tyrell's had
been stewards of the castle.
They yielded it immediately.
So Aegon named them house Tyrell lords of the reach later the Starks Nelson submission.
So Torrhen Stark the king at the time became known as the King who knelt he conquered the
veil and then finally Dorne was the last place that he went, but because of the terrain and
because his army wasn't used to desert tactics he had to withdraw.
Thus, it was really the six kingdoms that he conquered and then many generations later
Dorne finally came into the fold, but Aegon did not conquer Dorne, so a lot of your wondering
are they going to mirror this with Daenerys in season seven as she goes after Cersei the
kingdom will split some like the Lannister's like house Charlie will support the crown
others will support Daenerys at the idea of a new Targaryen rain.
So just like when Aegon first made landfall.
In west roast and started the conquest his army got bigger over time as he gained support
of the same thing will probably happen with Daenerys.
So I would be surprised at Daenerys has a couple encounters before she treats with house
stark and they form an alliance.
But then you have other houses like house Tyrell that have already pledge their support
Taveras so it's not like Daenerys is starting at zero she has her unsullied she has the
forces of high garden when you look at all the faces here as Cersei is being crowned.
These are the faces of really happy lords and ladies.
So part of great drama is in watching people who you would think support Cersei completely
turned against her which all link my Jaime Valenqar theory video at the end of this.
Let me know in the comments do you think that they're going to mirror Aegon's conquest with
Daenerys and season seven plot as she marches on the iron throne in which houses do you
think will bend the knee inside with Daenerys if there are any other history videos that
