You guys asked for no dragons, so no more dragons! Btw, we made a new t-shirt with the new logo: bit.ly/2uiAY4P
One of the best characters in ASOIAF daemon blackfyre
Battle of tripoli
“Unnumbered Tears” from the first age of middle earth would be an amazing battle to cover
Dragon's render all strategic planning down to the simple question: Are there enemy Dragons within a days flight of the battlefield? If yes, run. Its not particularly exciting. This Blackfyre stuff is great though!
Are you going to be covering the Dance of the Dragons and the later Blackfyre Rebellions at some point?
Dunk: "How do you lose three castles?" Egg: "You fight for the Black Dragon." Dunk: *Shoud I clout this boy to the ear?*
underrated comment
Lol ! Sweet Egg 🥚
Lord Osgrey 😥😥
The Blackfyre Rebellions would make for a fantastic show.
Yes I think that might be what the prequels focus on. Aegon's conquest, the Dance of the Dragons and then the Blackfyre Rebellion.
Yeah D&D should start working on that
@@SurvivingAnotherDay rather not D&D
@@gidijonen7966 no they wont, thaink God, they went to ,,help" on Star Wars
With the demands of the mainstream audience and pressure from unions to hire useless screenwriters who live in cliche/trope boxes, I doubt it
As my teacher used to say "The great battles of history you need to know: Gaugamela, Waterloo, Normandy and Redgrass Field"
Your teacher is a genius.
You forgot Lepanto.
7:39 I think Bittersteel became of a victim of the dreaded autocorrect ... Aegor IV "Bittersweet" Rivers.
heh, truly, the autocorrect demon is dreadful, he leaves you with that bittersweet taste in your mouth.
Yeah I thought I was the only one to notice that! It's meant to be bittertits
@@Paulo-py4mm Actually it's Pintofbitterplease
Yep, we have been autocorrected. Bittersweet... Talk about the mouthfeel.
I also wondered that haha
the most powerful and amazing thing about us humans, is our imagination .
Agreed! Curiosity and imagination are moving us forward!
I strongly recommend all of you to watch or read graphic novel of Sworn Sword which id second part of Tales of Dunk and Egg.
just imagine what our imaginations can imagine
@@vanivanov9571 Most knights would have armour covering most of their body but prefer a visor or a half helm for the eyes so as to not limit their sight, and in effect their mobility. This leaves the eyes vulnerable to a well-timed blow. Which is why most would survive since the blows or arrows weren't fatal but lose their eyes
True
The biggest shame of the Blackfyre Rebellion is that both Daemon and Dareon where great leaders and even better men. They showed honor and respect and had it not been for their councilors whispering in their ears they could of created a golden age for Westeros.
Compare that to Robert the whoremonger it is no wonder Westeros got screwed
@@gerardjagroo aerys 1 or 2nd? Neither were particularly fancy
@@gerardjagroo the first was useless at handling Dagon Greyjoy. + Bloodraven wasn't a good bloke. And also Aerys came just two monarchs after daeron II so It made sense to reference him.
True, although I feel Daemon being upset he was sometimes called a Bastard and couldn't marry his half sister is a pretty messed up excuse to plan a coup that would engulf the realm in Civil War. I don't hate the Blackfyres, and I see Daemon being upset at the arrest makes sense but, given what Daeron knew, I'd have apprehended Daemon as well.
@@thalmoragent9344 Daemon only rebelled 7 years after Daenerys married Maron Martell, and he had a lot of sons and at least two daughters with his wife. He clearly loved Daenerys when he was young, but i believe he moved on and learned to love his new wife
“Raise the black dragon proudly high From northern snows to the reaches sky Let every man his battle cry Be arise, arise for Daemon See his small but loyal band With Bittersteel they make a stand And each man swears By heart and hand To stand and fight for Daemon”
Where's that from
@@will2brown50I guess it's from Bloodraven
'Beneath the Gold the Bittersteel"
Bittersweet*
@@bradyduggin9324 it's bittersteel. The video has that wrong

A great battle is a terrible thing but in the midst of blood and carnage, there is sometimes also beauty, beauty that could break your heart. Ser Eustace Osgrey about the battle of Redgrass Field
“The men of the red dragon call themselves the loyalists , but we who chose the black were just as loyal, once. Though now . . . all the men who marched beside me to seat Prince Daemon on the Iron Throne have melted away like morning dew. Mayhaps I dreamed them. Or more like, Lord Bloodraven and his Raven’s Teeth have put the fear in them. They cannot all be dead.”
@@AJ-et3vf I bet you’re a real pile of fun. There’s only 1 type of person who reply’s with negative things on posts. Those are people that hate themselves deep down inside so they say unnecessarily negative shit. If you didn’t care you wouldn’t be watching or commenting. Pay more attention to your wife (if you even have one 😂)
@@AJ-et3vf I mean, it shows how human nature and war can be, in quite a way
All I can think of when I watch this is Ser Eustace Osgrey brokenhearted, watching the sunset after his sons died....
they are at peace now among the blackberries
So sad,for me there is only one King and in this Case his name is Blackfyre
I strongly recommend all of you graphic novel of Sworn Sword which is a second part of Tales of Dunk and Egg.
@@bilicadnan I'm glad things in the end turned out well for him, marrying Lady Rohane etc. Now if only Dunk and Egg can catch Ser Bennis the Brown on their adventures! I really hope GRRM has that happen, especially with Egg in his whole Targaryen, princely clothing, just so Bennis craps his pants realizing he had been harassing a son of the dragon. That would be o so sweet!
@@vanivanov9571 It's totally believable. The power of the longbow is insane
Kings & Generals making vids about GoT battles, am I dreaming or am I dead and is this heaven?
This is the second video BTW.
@@ikhwanulmuslimin312 noice
No you’re an idiot that has more time than brains
Heaven? It's like when the History channel started making shows about ice trucks and aliens. Utter bollocks.
Hell, actually. Fiction is infinitely less interesting than real history
I am instantly suspicious of the phrase, "Died of natural causes" when used in the Song of Ice and Fire universe

"Poisoned by his enemies"
6:09 that southwest corner of Westeros that contains oldtown is depicted as part of Dorne or at least as not part of the Targaryen realm which is inaccurate. Oldtown was a trade center of Westeros before and during Targaryen reign. The seat of the Faith of the Seven was there before the Great Sept of Baelor's Construction which is why Aegon the First was crowned in Oldtown. It was originally even thought that Aegon would simply make his capital there.
Yeah Oldtown is part of the Reach, it's not even in Dorne.
Aegon was coronated here.
@@pmbartoli919 his second coronation took place there
That's so true 5:20 Reminds me of 'the history of china podcast', the han dynasty parts. Too kind to your household and they'll seek to supplant you, chipping away at your legitimacy before the final blow. Too cruel and they'll be cornered into rebelling, willing to throw the entire empire into chaos to save themselves. There's a famous quote attributed to the pure emperors of China. "The emperor is kind, but weak."
As my father always said to me: "Zuckerbrot und Peitsche". Best way to treat with people I'd say...
@@Welkubacca Pretty much is one of the main concepts of Legalism (han fei's theory of punishment and reward), which was how the Chinese state operated but with the PR facade of Confucianism, which sometimes softened the severity of Legalism. Which stresses that only the emperor can have the absolute power to reward and to punish as the charioteer directing the state.
@@martytu20 I still wonder the intent of Machiavelli 1) Genuine attempt to gain meaningful employment from the Medicis 2) A realpolitik discourse of how to balance the needs of the people (emphasises the support of the people and benevolence), in upholding the peace whilst sating the victorious family from treading the path to total totalitarianism. 3) Or it was an attempt to educate the public about the excess cruelty of the ruling family and to provide a means for them to dig their own graves (if they followed it to the letter).
So basically as an emperor, you have to be harsh but fair
@@explosivereactionstv7414 Ideally, yes. Something I think worth mentioning is the Han dynasty emperors tended to die short and 'abruptly' for no good reason, regardless of whether they were mainly seen as good or bad after they passed away. You can imagine that tends to foster quite a bit of paranoia for Han emperors in general. Another example is sparing a prince that nearly became emperor. If you kill him, that would spark a rebellion and princes retreating to their base of power. If you leave him be, he will plot to overthrow you not once or twice. Both from memory has happened. What the Tokugawa Shogunate did was make it mandatory for his daimyo to have his family live in the defacto capital of Edo, whilst the respective lords spent most of their time governing their domains.
well that BLACK FYRED
you can do better than that but i laughed so good pun LoL
Should have said "Black Fyred".
@@lelouchvibritannia2300 damn missed opportunity
@@lelouchvibritannia2300 the power of editing
The world of Ice and Fire works so well with your channel since they're just so much in depth backstories that lead to where the TV series is now. It reads more like something historical than something purely fantasy like LOTR or other massively popular fantasy novels. Really hope you guys drop more of these videos for us randomly throughout the upcoming years. Looooving the couple we've gotten so far. Also big shoutout to your art department team, they've been absolutely killing it!
Thanks :-)
Big thanks from the art department! In courtesy of K&G 👍
@@KingsandGenerals battle of Last Alliance would be amazing
History never was boring at all, it's so interesting. Maybe in years later there be many writers will follow his examples.
Well, George R.R. Martin took lots of inspiration from medieval european history.The ''War of the 5 Kings'' is inspired by the ''War of the Roses'',the Targaryen conquest by the Norman conquest of Britain,the ''Red Wedding'' is inspired from an event called ''The Black Dinner'',the various Houses/factions are modelled after historical factions etc. etc. He just added some Zombies,Ice Demons and Dragons to it.
8:15 isn't Brynden Rivers the Three-Eyed Crow?
Yep. Lord commander of the guard (crow) and one eye plus the twos of the animal he's warging into.
yes Bryden Rivers is the three-eyed crow he became that a while after theses events though
@@operatorstixx8898 We don't know that for sure
@@Samuel-ut7mj In the books we do
@@coitze8704 He's referring to the theory that the Three Eyed Crow is not Bloodraven. Bloodraven is confirmed to be Brynden Rivers, but it's left slightly ambiguous if he's actually the entity visiting Bran's dreams.
"A King's mercy is a poisoned gift"- Eustace Osgrey
I for one find it curious that Leo Tyrell sided with Daeron, considering that the Tyrells and the Martells have bad blood and that the king seemed to be highly influenced by the Dornish. One would have expected him to join the Blackfyres. I suppose loyalty to the Targaryens is one thing that the Tyrells owed.
They probably just went with what they thought was the wining hand.
well the Tyrells owed their existence to the Targs
Politics doesn't happen that way.
The Tyrells only won a couple of small battles and “didn’t make it in time for the battle of the red grass field” maybe stalling to see who won 🤔
@@andrewwavington9025 Doubt it would have mattered. Leo could’ve capitalized off the crown forces there losing actually as that meant he could smash whatever was left of Daemon’s host.
Prince Maron never knelt to Daeron II, something which the lords of Westeros did not like. Dorne alone of the kingdoms joined without submitting. They merely allowed themselves to take part in the affairs of other kingdoms now.
Cocksuckers.
Maron did kneel before the Iron Throne, though. The Dornish submitted, but because they had resisted the 2 Targaryen invasions, they were allowed far more concessions than the other Great Houses of conquered kingdoms.
yes. Dorne married into the Seven Kingdoms- “Unbowed Unbent Unbroken”
I don’t think you mentioned that fireball was killed by a marksman before red grass, which is why he wasn’t apart of the battle
@@AJ-et3vf You do, and anybody watching this battle
@@AJ-et3vf you’re not? English much?
People even theorise that Bloodraven had a hand in his death, even though that's a bit of a stretch, only caused by Bloodraven propensity of killing shit with bows.
6:05 1 small correction about the map. It shows Oldtown and the surrounding lands as being part of Dorne but they are part of the Reach and under Targaryan rule since the end of Aegons conquest
How could you not be a Stan of Daemon Blackfyre?! The king who bore the sword. The honorable man who was cut down by Bloodraven while attempting to move Corbrays body to safety?! The man who didn’t leave his son to die by himself or the guy stuck to a parasite tree, who was the better man?
Exactly
I dislike Bloodraven. It seems Aegon V did too when he booted his ass to the wall.
Indeed, though Daeron was also a great ruler in his own right. Yet it's hard to say what road Westeros would have gone down, for good or ill, without Bloodraven's meddling.
Please consider doing the Dance of Dragons, it's possibly the most epic war in the entirety of the series.
Yes! finally the Blackfyre Rebellion!!
Thanks for watching!
@@KingsandGenerals any time, i love this channel since day one.
Time to play the CK2 mod again!
Time raise a awesome son, only for him to get cancer at age 4
Incest time
Is the mod finally compatible with Holy -Furry- Fury?
@@budakbaongsiah it is my dude :)
@@budakbaongsiah It has been for a while lol
Small correction: Daeron was already married to Mariah Martell before he got the Throne. If I'm not wrong it was part of the peace settlement Aegon IV made after his failed invasion of Dorne
Baelor Made that Deal. Byt yeah
the battle of the Red Fork or the (Fish Feed) as called by those that participated is one of my favorite battles out the Dance of Dragons Era.
that and you could also count Borros's Baratheon's ill-fated final battle and the battles at Tumbleton where the dragons really "danced"
You mean the battle where the winter wolves and the riverlords raped the Lannister army ? Haha
@@jeffreysamson5938 Think that was the battle of Lakeshore
Perhaps you can do a video on the Valyrian wars of conquest against Old Ghis and the Rhoynar. Or the Unsullied stand against the Dothraki Khalaasar
The 3000 unsullied that held out against the Dothraki horde is pretty bad ass.
@@systemofafox6487 Is there actually any detailed accounts of what happened? I thought it was mostly just a passing anecdote
I love how intricate and well thought out the lore in ASOIAF is
The Oldtown/Hightower land and the Arbor is not part of Dorne, it's part of the Reach
Came home from a rainy day, plopped down and watched the video. You made my day so much better. But those dragons stand no chance against the army of lizards.
We live for that. :-)
Kings and Generals coming home, seeing a video, it makes everything better 👍
"No man could stand before the black dragon that day"
Please never stop making these alternative universe videos like GOT. These are so interesting and really help build out this lore rich land even more.
Also this episode was far more interesting without dragons flying in to save the day.
I haven’t been this happy since Barristan Selmy survived and returned to Westeros! Oh wait... Seriously, though, you guys make the best historical videos on KZhead. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
Phyrrus protecc Phyrrus attacc but most importantly he don't get his army bacc
Pretty much :-)
Why did you skip Dance of the Dragons? Dance of the Dragons is probably the best part of Game of Throne's lore and history.
You know it not real anyways right? So this amounts more to copyright theft than anything intellectual or interesting.
Stannis TheKingWhoCared what’s interesting about dragons? They’re OP and boring to watch
@@butternuts3656 Wow our a dickhead arent you, of course its not real, but this might shock you but some people like this universe and its not copyright theft to adapt a story into a video that explains it without just reading the original material
@@explosiongames11 I try to ignore them. People like that don't deserve our time.
Not op if it’s a war of dragons!
The art you guys do for these episodes is so pretty
Thanks!
Can you explain the masterful tactics used in the battle for Winterfell against the Night King?
🤣🤣
Fook no!
fuck tactics. kill and get killed like there is no tomorrow
This video has really explained the rebellion better than other stuff I've see and read! Thanks a lot
Perfect video. Art work, audio, script and overall "feel" is so good I wish they make a movie out of this.
Your videos are so high quality now I barely recognise them! Hope you enjoy making these because we all enjoy watching them.
This video it's so cool, there's a lot of other channels that explains the game of thrones universe, but when it comes to the battle parts, none like this! Keep up K&G's 👍🏽
Thank you for making this video!
Awesome. I am loving this series of videos so far for ASOIAF. I hope there are many more to come. Great effort.
I love how you make videos about a fantasy land named Westeros along with your true history videos. Really awesome!
The Blackfyres are a very fascinating and interesting house to me, will always enjoy finding content on them
THE BLACK DRAGON WILL NEVER DIE
The Pretenders will come and go.
it is dead
dude.
House Blackfyre will rise again in The Winds of Winter, harder and stronger.
Thanks Kings and Generals!!! Another great video...
Thanks for watching!
Excellent narration and beautiful visualization.
Thank you very much!
This was very well done. Felt very historical. Leaving out the mystical powers of rivers was smart
Awesome, loving these, keep it up
Excellent work, this is honestly more entertaining than the show right now. Dan and Dave got nothing on you.
Thanks!
Game of Thrones's all battle are interesting. I like this. Thanks for sharing))
I really love your videos about the GOT universe! Thank you so much! Amazing quality as usua!
Thank you very much for watching!
Your visuals and narration are always better than the TV series. I enjoyed the first one too. Thanks.
Happy you watched 👍
Superb video expertly discussed and explained. Very well done!
Thank you very much!
Another Game of Thrones video!? You are too good to me sir😁. And of course you know I got to ask, any battles of middle earth would be most appreciated😁👍
nooo dude, those battles are always the same: Good Humans vs. Evil Orcs, humans have less numbers, but they still win because they are brave and heroic. Bo. Ring. Westeros' battles are much more complex and realistic (in their own way).
Whoah getting hype of the last season. Even KaG now making a video
Hype!
it wasnt good
Excitement is all i feel whenever you upload a new video
Never clicked watched so fast in my life I want Moore. Great video guys wish there was a love button
Production values are LIT!!!
Great and beautiful video. Well done.
Please keep on doing these videos it's really gr8
Beautifully done
Thanks, It was great like always.
This is awesome, lotr battles would be cool aswell
Another great video!
Daemon Blackfyre was the true king! 👑
By far my favorite series!!! more please!!!!!
Man these GOT vids are awesome keep them coming.
Thanks! Working on more!
Absolutely love the artstyle. Would love to learn how to do that for my own videos. Maybe one day. Incredible videos guys - I'm glad you're going through the lore of GOT.
Thanks mate. I draw them on Adobe Photoshop. Both the drawings and maps&icons. Basicaly everything except some video effects like flying birds, god rays etc. I use royalty free green screen footage for them. God speed and good luck 👋
Yes!!!!! I kept asking Bazz Battles to do this but I'm happy u guys did tbis and whent into the Relm of ice and fire lol thank!👍
Glad that you are enjoying it!
Thank you Guys
Absolutely love this series, so unexpected yet so satisfying! Proper puts me in’t mood for some GOT prequels in the coming years🤞
Thank you very much!
Amazing, thank you
didn't know you cover GOT too!!!! i'm soooo excited!!!
These are a real treat
Thank you!
The GoT are the best omg. This is amazing thank you

Daeron was the true king, Blackfyre mongrel.
Long live the Blackfyre
@@Borderose daeron was the bastard son of eamon the dragon knight and his sister.
A dirty rebel lie. Blackest treason!
@@princeelendur20 Pftt. Blackfyre lies, while Daemon was probably the son of some tavern mongrel, and aegon used him to spite Daeron and his wife.
Don't know what your plans are exactly, but I'd love to see if you could make a video of the complex war of the 5 kings and it's iconic battles like the whispering wood, oxcross, stone mill and kings landing. Furthermore love your historical videos as much or maybe even more, keep up the lovely work!
hmm...
Love the art in this video
Thanks!
Love this!
Awesome video as always guys! I was hoping for a Dance of the Dragons doc myself but maybe maybe you'll get around to it eventually lol
It would be awesome if you can do the history of the warring states of china when they were unified by the Qin Dynasty.. That would be so cool.. Awesome vid guys!!!
This is great!
More Game of thrones Kings and Generals videos? Is this a reaaaaal life or is this just fantasyyyyyy?
Nah youre just caught in a landslide.
no escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies....

This is really good, i really like your history coverage but fantasy is equally fun, and you're animation has really improved.
