00:00CHAPTER I. AEGON'S CONQUEST
00:03Starts with Gordon explaining that the history of Westeros is largely determined by Aegon's
00:09conquest and events from across the Narrow Sea. In Valyria, the Targaryens were one of about
00:16forty Dragonlord families vying for power until a mysterious event known only as the
00:22Doom of Valyria wiped out all of the Dragonlords. Enoch Targaryen moved his whole family to a far
00:30island, Dragonstone, twelve years before the Doom, when his daughter Dany, the Dreamer,
00:36foresaw the destruction of Valyria, the furthest Valyrian outpost to the west.
00:43The Targaryens spent one hundred years on the island before Aegon the Conqueror.
00:48Born 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,
01:00which was divided into seven warring kingdoms. After attempting to make a peaceful agreement
01:05with all Gulak, the arrogance of the Duryodhan, Aegon and his sisters left forth a burst of
01:12ravens that traveled to all seven kingdoms in Westeros, proclaiming there was now only one king,
01:18Aegon the Conqueror, and the old kings could either bend that
01:22knee or be destroyed. He had coronation at the mouth of the Blackwater River.
01:28With barely a few hundred men, Aegon and his sisters stormed Westeros with their dragons.
01:34The 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,
01:51thinking that the impenetrable castle he had spent. His reign, building called Harrenhal,
01:57would shield him from dragons. He and his family were roasted inside King Black.
02:03The arrogant heard what happened and decided he would not die the same way he met the Targaryen
02:08army in battle known as the Last Storm. The Storm King nearly won until Rhaeny swooped in with her
02:14dragon Maracas and Orys Baratheon. Aegon's first hand of the king, improbable bastard brother,
02:21met Ajak in battle and killed him. Aguilar's daughter, Aguilar, barricaded herself in their
02:30castle and said she and her men would die before surrendering. But her men opened the gates in the
02:36middle of the night and delivered their lady, naked and chained to Orys, who dressed her and
02:41told her of her father's death, then took his sigil as his own and asked Angellia to marry him.
02:48The two western kings, House Lannister and Gardener, assembled the largest ever army
02:54and marched north. They outnumbered the Targaryens five to one, but the three dragons combined for
03:01the first time during the conquest and obliterated both armies in what would be known
03:06as the Field of Firehouse. Gardener's line was extinguished and their steward's house Tyrell
03:13were given the reach. As wardens of the south, the Stark army marched south, but when they approached
03:20the Targaryen forces, King Torrhen bent the knee in order to protect his men from burning. Visenya
03:26rode her dragon into the Val and convinced the Arryns to yield without a fight, but Rhaenys could
03:32not convince the Dornish queen to do the same. Aegon took his forces to Oldtown, the biggest
03:39city in Westeros and the center of the Faith. The High Septon had fasted and prayed for seven days
03:46before telling 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 by many
04:06more people and so marks the official start of Aegon's rule. Although he had been calling himself
04:13a king for two years, Aegon declared that he would build himself a city on the three hills where he
04:20and his sisters first set on Westeros. King's Landing. Unlike the other books in A Song of Ice
04:28and Fire, this fictional account of the Targaryens reads like an actual history book. However, the
04:35history Jordan is presenting us with as the most accurate version of the truth is the trap Martin
04:41wants us to avoid making because we know the Citadel is rife with conspiracy and ulterior
04:47motives, as Lady Barbara, Dustin and Martin would claim. Jordan's mock academic voice acts as though
04:54he is above personal bias or deceit, which means we should be all the more suspicious of what he
05:00chooses to tell us or, more importantly, what he chooses not to tell us. Since choosing to tell his
05:07story from one perspective neglects others and is within itself a form of bias, sometimes a historian
05:14who doesn't hide his bias can be more trustworthy than one who knows how to conceal his lies with
05:20nuggets of truth. Lastly, Aegon's life is well documented as he is seen as the most important
05:26historical figure of his age, but the lives of his sisters who helped him conquer Westeros are
05:32largely obscured, as is the life of his bastard brother, or his barathon, who was also instrumental
05:40in the conquering of Westeros. The small folk are left mostly silent, their stories untold by the
05:48historians of Old Town, 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. The first 13
06:03years of Aegon the Conqueror's rule was marked with war and strife throughout Westeros in the
06:10Bight. The Sutherlands declared their lady a queen until Visenya arrived on her dragon. On the Iron
06:17Islands, several contenders vied to become king, including Lotos, who said he was son of the
06:24Drowned God. When Aegon arrived on his dragon and conquered the islands, Lotus prayed for the
06:29Krakens to rise up and kill the dragons. When they did not, he walked into the sea with rocks in his
06:36pockets, and thousands of his followers did the same. Aegon allowed the ironborn to choose their
06:42own wardens, and they selected Vicosun Greyjoy, who swore fealty to Aegon. Dorne was the only kingdom
06:50that had not submitted to Aegon, so he and his sisters attacked the kingdom. Rhaenys burned Plank
06:57Town, but the town was on a river, and almost everyone hid from the fire and the water.
07:03Lord Tyrell took an army to meet the Dornish in battle, but the Dornish refused to meet in battle.
07:09Instead, they retreated and led the Conqueror's army on a wild goose chase through the desert,
07:16poisoning the wells and crops along their way, or his Baratheon and his men were trapped in
07:22between rockslides, and everyone except Orys and a few others who were kept for ransom by
07:28the widow-lover of Will. 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 wiles, 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,
08:46and escaping from several assassination attempts themselves. In Thirteen,
08:51Ac Maria Martell died in her sleep. She was succeeded by her son Nemo, who sent his own
08:59daughter Daria to King's Landing to broker peace. Aegon was about to refuse, but then Daria gave
09:06him a personal letter that changed his mind. He flew to Dorne and agreed to peace without
09:11surrender, and so the Dornish were victorious, and Aegon would rule Westeros for twenty-four more
09:17years, without another war. Now, this chapter demonstrates Westeros is full of rampant sexism,
09:26even though some of the strongest leaders in the realm are women. Princess Maria Martell,
09:32an elderly woman, is the only one in the Seven Kingdoms who was able to defend her kingdom
09:37against the Targaryen, against the Targaryen invaders. But rather than appreciating the
09:43victory, the people of Wester eyed her strategies. Dornish courage became a mocking name for cowardice
09:50amongst the lords and knights of Aegon's kingdom. More would say Maria fought like a woman with
09:58lies and treachery and witchery. The Dornish victory was seen to be dishonorable. Here we
10:05see that no matter what 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.
