00:00CHAPTER I. AEGON'S CONQUEST

00:03Starts with Gordon explaining that the history of Westeros

00:07is largely determined by Aegon's Conquest and events from across the Narrow Sea.

00:12In Valyria, the Targaryens were one of about forty Dragonlord families vying for power until

00:19a mysterious event known only as the Doom of Valyria wiped out all of the Dragonlords.

00:26Enoch Targaryen moved his whole family to a faraway island, Dragonstone, twelve years before

00:33the Doom, when his daughter Dany, the Dreamer, foresaw the destruction of Valyria. The furthest

00:40Valyrian, outpost to the west. The Targaryens spent one hundred years on the island before

00:46Aegon the Conqueror. Born 27 BC, we to both his sisters, Visenya and Rhaenys, sailed for the west.

00:56The three siblings each rode their own dragons to conquer Westeros, which was divided into seven

01:02warring kingdoms. After attempting to make a peaceful agreement with all Gulag, the arrogance

01:07of the Duryodhan, Aegon and his sisters left forth a burst of ravens that traveled to all

01:13seven kingdoms in Westeros, proclaiming there was now only one king. Aegon the Conqueror and

01:20the old kings could either bend that knee or be destroyed. He had coronation at the mouth of the

01:26Blackwater River. With barely a few hundred men, Aegon and his sisters stormed Westeros with their

01:33dragons. The small folk cheered Aegon on, but the kings and their bannermen opposed him.

01:40The Westerosi armies were larger, but they were no match for three dragons.

01:44Haran the Black, the King of the Riverlands, refused to bend the knee to Aegon, thinking that

01:52the impenetrable castle he had spent. His reign, building called Harrenhal, would shield him from

01:58dragons. He and his family were roasted inside King Black. The arrogant heard what happened and

02:05decided he would not die the same way he met the Targaryen army in battle known as the Last Storm.

02:11The Storm King nearly won until Rhaeny swooped in with her dragon Maracas and Orys Baratheon.

02:18Aegon's first hand of the king, improbable bastard brother, met Ajak in battle and killed him.

02:25Aguilar's daughter, Aguilar, barricaded herself in their castle and said she and her men would

02:32die before surrendering. But her men opened the gates in the middle of the night and delivered

02:37their lady, naked and chained to Orys, who dressed her and told her of her father's death,

02:43then took his sigil as his own and asked Angellia to marry him. The two western kings,

02:50House Lannister and Gardener, assembled the largest ever army and marched north. They outnumbered the

02:57Targaryens five to one, but the three dragons combined for the first time during the conquest

03:03and obliterated both armies in what would be known as the Field of Firehouse. Gardener's line

03:10was extinguished and their steward's house Tyrell were given the reach. As wardens of the south,

03:16the Stark army marched south, but when they approached the Targaryen forces,

03:22King Torrhen bent the knee in order to protect his men from burning. Visenya rode her dragon

03:27into the Val and convinced the Arryns to yield without a fight, but Rhaenys could not convince

03:33the Dornish queen to do the same. Aegon took his forces to Oldtown, the biggest city in Westeros

03:40and the center of the Faith. The High Septon had fasted and prayed for seven days before

03:46telling Manfred Hightower, Lord of Oldtown, to surrender or the city would burn. Aegon walked

03:53into the city, and three days later, the High Septon anointed him King of the Seven Kingdoms.

04:01Though Dorne had still not been conquered in the Starry Sept, the coronation was witnessed

04:06by many more people, and so marks the official start of Aegon's rule. Although he had been

04:12calling himself a king for two years, Aegon declared that he would build himself a city

04:18on the three hills where he and his sisters first set on Westeros.

04:23King's Landing

04:25Unlike the other books in A Song of Ice and Fire, this fictional account of the Targaryens reads

04:32like an actual history book. However, the history Jordan is presenting us with as the most accurate

04:39version of the truth is the trap Martin wants us to avoid making, because we know the citadel is

04:44rife with conspiracy and ulterior motives, as Lady Barbara, Dustin, and Martin would claim.

04:52Jordan's mock academic voice acts as though he is above personal bias or deceit, which means we

04:58should be all the more suspicious of what he chooses to tell us, or, more importantly, what

05:03he chooses not to tell us. Since choosing to tell his story from one perspective neglects others

05:10and is within itself a form of bias. Sometimes a historian who doesn't hide his bias can be

05:16more trustworthy than one who knows how to conceal his lies with nuggets of truth. Lastly, Aegon's

05:23life is well documented, as he is seen as the most important historical figure of his age,

05:29but the lives of his sisters who helped him conquer Westeros are largely obscured,

05:34as is the life of his bastard brother, or his barathon, who was also instrumental in the

05:40conquering of Westeros. The small folk are left mostly silent, their stories untold by the

05:48historians of Oldtown, even though their part in the battles between Aegon and the seven former

05:53kings of Westeros ultimately decided the outcome. Chapter Two. Reign of the Dragons.

06:02The first thirteen years of Aegon the Conqueror's rule was marked with war and strife throughout

06:09Westeros in the Bight. The Sutherlands declared their lady a queen until Visenya arrived on her

06:15dragon. On the Iron Islands, several contenders vied to become king, including Lotos, who said

06:23he was son of the drowned god. When Aegon arrived on his dragon and conquered the islands, Lotus

06:29prayed for the Krakens to rise up and kill the dragons. When they did not, he walked into the

06:35sea with rocks in his pockets, and thousands of his followers did the same. Aegon allowed the

06:41ironborn to choose their own wardens, and they selected Vicosun Greyjoy, who swore fealty to

06:47Aegon. Dorne was the only kingdom that had not submitted to Aegon, so he and his sisters attacked

06:54the kingdom. Rhaenys burned Planktown, but the town was on a river, and almost everyone hid from

07:01the fire and the water. Lord Tyrell took an army to meet the Dornish in battle, but the Dornish

07:07refused to meet in battle. Instead, they retreated and led the Conqueror's army on a wild goose chase

07:14through the desert, poisoning the wells and crops along their way, or his Baratheon and his men

07:21were trapped in between rockslides, and everyone except Orys and a few others who were kept for

07:27ransom by the widow-lover of Wyll. Aegon conquered a few empty castles full of women and children,

07:34and then met Rhaenys at Sunspear, which she had also taken since no one was there to fight,

07:40including the Princess of Dorne, Maria Martell, or the Yellow Tude. Aegon announced victory and

07:48installed his own men. However, as soon as he was back in King's Landing, the Dornish came out of

07:54hiding and overthrew all the villains, killing and torturing them. The war continued for years

08:01without much progress. In Sevenac, the widow-lover ransomed Orys back to King's Landing.

08:08When Aegon realized that he had cut off Orys' sword hand, he burnt Wylls, but the widow-lover

08:15hid in caves and tunnels beneath the mountains in Tennessee. Rhaenys was leading an attack on

08:20Helmholtz when a defender launched a scorpion that hid her dragon Maracas in the right eye,

08:27where axes crushed the tower and died. No one knew whether Rhaenys died in the fall,

08:33or beneath her dragon, or in prison. Years later, Aegon and Visenya spent the next two years

08:40scorching all of Dorne, paying ransoms to anyone who would kill a Dornish lord,

08:45and escaping from several assassination attempts themselves.

08:49In Thirteen, Ack Maria Martell died in her sleep. She was succeeded by her son Nemo,

08:58who sent his own daughter Daria to King's Landing to broker peace. Aegon was about to refuse,

09:04but then Daria gave him a personal letter that changed his mind.

09:09He flew to Dorne and agreed to peace without surrender, and so the Dornish were victorious,

09:14and Aegon would rule Westeros for twenty-four more years, without another war. Now, this chapter

09:22demonstrates Westeros is full of rampant sexism, even though some of the strongest

09:27leaders in the realm are women. Princess Maria Martell, an elderly woman, is the only one in

09:34the Seven Kingdoms who was able to defend her kingdom against the Targaryen against the

09:40Targaryen invaders. But rather than appreciating the victory, the people of Wester eyed her

09:45strategies. Dornish courage became a mocking name for cowardice amongst the lords and knights of

09:52Aegon's kingdom. More would say Maria fought like a woman with lies and treachery and witchery.

10:00The Dornish victory was seen to be dishonorable. Here we see that no matter,

10:06what sort of intelligent or impressive feats a woman can court in Westeros,

10:12she would never garner the sort of widespread acclaim and idolization as Aegon, who massacres

10:18and burns people alive in their own homes. The First Dornish War lasted nine years and killed

10:25thousands, and it seems heavily implied and makes the most sense that the letter Aegon received

10:31from the Dornish to end the war was written in Rhaeny's handwriting. Ultimately, we will never

10:37know what was written in the letter, and thus the theme of ambiguity in history is well exemplified

10:44in Fire and Blood.
