Don't worry, this is just a "special" episode. We get back on track with our ongoing series shortly. Stay tuned!
BazBattles do more of these in the future
Pleas do we want real life battles.
BazBattles please make some videos on Napoleon and Khalid bin Walid. Great generals. In asoiaf, make one on Stannis. He was the greatest military commander of his time
No worries, it's a good way of reaching new audiences and as usual you guys did a good job.
Rex Galilae Greetings my friend Rex, I know you don't know me, but I 've seen you in many "Napoleon" videos defending the great man against ignorant fools. Your detailed knowledge and jugdement really impresses me every time I read your thunderours comments. I know it's a bit weird but allow me to express myself...respect...
"You are late, lord Frey." As a book reader, I appreciate the small detail!
The late frey lol

@@The_Gerry_Man Adams?
They mention his lateness in the show too
I caught it and appreciated it as well.
Say what you want about the Mad King, at least it took him years to go crazy, not a few days, haha.
Not even days , it just took some seconds
If you didn't notice that Dany was batshit crazy you weren't paying attention.

You forgot about Edric, AKA Robert 2.0
@@zyamsatti No. Stop saying its Joffrey Lannister. Even if he's an incest baby, his heritage is still Baratheon. Besides, Jaime and Cersei weren't married, so strictly speaking it would be Joffrey Waters

Damnn that lineup of kingsguard. Ser Barristan Selmy, Ser Arthur Dayne and Jaime fookin Lannister.. insane 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gerold Hightower, Oswell Whent, and Luwen Martell too. Arys' Kingsguard was in a higher league than Robert's Kingsgaurd.
@@matthewgoodman7588 robert's was legit trash if it isnt for barristan. He said it himself :"even now i could cut throught the five of you like carving a cake"
Those are 3 of the literally best swordsmen of Westeros
Whent is my favorite. There is a theory that he survived the Tower of Joy and became Halfhand, a member of the Nights Watch.
"You are late Lord Frey"
Coleman Glascock brilliant indeed😂
Walder Frey will remember that.
And then that statement aged very well...
LMFAOOOOOO
Freys are probably most useless house ever
"...It is said that Robert Baratheon stepped out of a brothel to join the battle. True or not..." You just gotta love how it really feels like a legit documentary, with the hard facts AND some legends to spice it up.
Well, it's Robert. There's great chances it is not a legend :p
The brothel part is true, he fathered Bella in the Peach and Jon Connington, in his last chapter, the Griffin Reborn, remembers almost being killed by Robert at the battle
@@krankarvolund7771 Yea, sounds like Robert ! ^^
Martin is a genius
It's a hypocritical shame, though. He went to war for Lyanna yet it didn't stop him to sleep with whores.
I feel so awful for Elia Martell. That poor woman really suffered at the hands of her husband and the rest of his family.
And her kids ☹️
All because Rheagar couldnt keep it in his pants and the wh*re Lyanna Stark couldnt do that either.
And still some people ship Lyanna and Rhaegar. Elia and her children died horrible death and many thousand people too.
The books say she loved Rhaegar and the prince himself cared for her. Even in regards to Lyanna it’s likely she did not mind - the Martells fathered many Sands and did not view bastards as the other 6 kingdoms. Ellia couldn’t bare anymore children after her second - so it’s likely Rhaegar approached her with an understanding of wanting a third child, after all the dragon has three heads, with Lyanna they found a solution
@@mysticdragonwolf89 Whilst I'm sure that is how Rhaegar justified his decision to himself, it is highly unlikely that Elia agreed, since she was a smart girl and would have understood that such a move would be political suicide for her. She had already been passed up at Harrenhal in favour of Lyanna and Aerys hated her and her children- so even if Rhaegar had somehow gotten legal permission to marry Lyanna (unlikely) she and her kids would forever be in danger. That she seems to have loved Rhaegar just means it was all the worse a betrayal on his part. As is, running of with her (even IF it was consensual- whatever that means to a teenager) was phenomenally stupid, and likely informed by Rhaegar's delusion that he was destined to live in a 'I'm built different bro' kind of way. The bottom line is this; Rhaegar was an idiot- and he died for it.
I imagine Robert at the Trident like Thor in Infinity War. “BRING ME RHAEGAR !!!”
And season 1 robert is like endgame thor. Thor is Robert baratheon
The best part is Robert in his youth is described as "six and a half feet tall and muscled like a maiden's fantasy" His warhammer is huge. In real life, a warhammer is about 10 pounds max. About the same weight as a house cat. Robert's was about 100 pounds. About the same weight as 2 Michael Ceras.
@@GauravPandey-qo4jp Robert was actually in phenomenal physique in his younger days.

Jesus I felt like I was watching a real history doc. Well done sir.
Gotta hand it to GRRM. Crazy guy in real life but dammit if he didn't come up with a pretty awesome and realistically reputable history for the rebellion.
@Oompa Loompa the war of the 5 kings is very loosely based off of the war of the roses but this has almost nothing to do with it
@Oompa Loompa yeah pretty loose. Outside of the main conflict with the southern lion house and the nortern house it's incredibly different, even that's a stretch because in ASOIAF the north are fighting for independence and the safety of there family where as the yorks in War of the Roses where more like a renly type who was a powerful courtier who seized the throne, remember the yorks are supposedly starks.
Same
imo ASOIAF is one of if not the greatest piece of modern literature
relaxing/understandable voice. no annoying/distracting music in the background, the length of the video is perfect, nice work and well done
It's fantastic
I just realized Robert’s rebellion is probably based of the Trojan war: Rhaegar/Paris abducts Lyanna/Helen from Robert/Menelaos and gets help from his bro Eddard/Agamemnon. Not to mention how Tywin tricked Aerys to open the gates only to wreck havoc trojan horse style
Holyshit i cant believe i never thought of that :0
Oh shit, that's true. his work is also based on the war of the roses. George RR martin can't keep getting away with this!!!!
Jon Arryn was more Agamemnon than Eddard I think. Tywin is Odysseus and Jaime is Neoptolemus who killed Priam(Aerys).
The fact that Sean bean plays Odysseus in Troy and Ned stark is really cool...
@@jnansunder2873 Except that Priam is a man of honor
*Robert stepping out of Brothel* with a war hammer that most men couldn’t carry - to face the man who was sent to kill him - is the most badass piece of imagery I’ve ever heard.
Robert stepped out of the brothel with a sword. Contrary to the post here, when Lord Tarly ambushed Robert, Robert didn't run. Robert fought despite the surpise but was clearly defeated by a better commander. He rushed to stony sept and hid in the brothels. When the battle of the bells ensued Jon Connington saw Robert inside a brothel and they fought using swords. Robert nearly killed Jon, that's why they retreated. Jon states this in the Book 5.
@@pogiakolagi1909It's really cool to see how Robert was actually one of the greatest fighters in Westeros. Every one-on-one battle he had resulted in his victory; Jon Connington, Rhaegar Targaryen, Balon Greyjoy, and several others. This and his personality are what make him one of my favorite characters in the work.
Sooooo jaime literally beheaded his king so he wouldn't killed thousands of innocents but then saying he doesn't care about them on episode 5. Oooookay
Well the lannisters really loved each other so people < family
He killed Aerys not because of the thousands of inhabitants of King's Landing, but because of his father who would be among the dead, along with several other Lannisters troops, he himself explains this in one episode. In Episode 5, he tries to return to Cersei for her to surrender and save the city from Daenerys' fury ... which ends up not working.
Bad writing
@@DonMadruga72 i get what you were saying. But for me it's probably not bad writing it's just felt rushed. It looks like it miss one season and i really hate how fast they turn dany to mad queen, despite if it's been hinted or been destined.
He cared about the people at first, it's why he killed Aerys. However, he never had a chance to explain his actions thanks to Ned Stark and was ostracized by the people as an oath breaker and kingslayer. Because of this he gave up on people
10:10 "You are late, Lord Frey!" I found that pretty hilarious haha
haha glad i'm not the only one, cheers!!! hahaha
Same here. To an extent where I had to scan through the comments section to see if anyone mentioned it😂
shwine dime SAME HERE😂
lmfao
I know right he was a big coward
Robert's Rebellion was all about avenging Ned Stark's dead family.
It was more so about overthrowing a mad tyrant than anything else. It was Aerys’ madness that led to Brandon and Rickard’s deaths. And it was only when he demanded Robert and Ned’s head from Jon Arryn that they rebelled. Ned’s family dying was more-so justification to overthrow Aerys, not the motivation for the rebellion.
@@jaimelannister1797 it was the brick that broke the camels back. Nobody really liked Aerys, or thought he was a good king, and the murder of a lord of one of the great houses and his heir as well as requesting the heads of even more lords of powerful houses was a step too far
You ain’t loyal, you killed your own king
By what right does the Kelvin Domingos judge the Lion? This is a Lannister of Casterly Rock you’re speaking to. I don’t recall any noble house by the name of Domingos in Westeros
@@jaimelannister1797 it was about killing a man for the love of a woman he didn't have, lyanna never loved him, and she might have choosen Rhaegar, he never cared for the kingdom, Robert was never an honorable man, it was vengeance that drove him to battle, not the mad king.
Mace Tyrell is like an AI in EU4, losing the war by sieging down a level 8 fort instead of joining a decisive battle
Exactly
Lmfaooooo
And Stannis's garrison was that fort that is stuck at 42% chance of surrender, but keeps rolling "Food Shortage" while never actually surrendering.
I'm starting to understand why everyone says the books are better. I could sit & watch this for hours, no actors, no $$ CGI, just a great story
Just got all the books plus the prequels and the history of the land book. I am hooked. If your a book reader, definitely recommend it.
@@boogierogers4612 Just picked up the prequels myself. There is a GOT wiki that is crazy in depth. I started reading the background & it blew me away. Valyria, The First Men, The Conquest, how the houses got their power. I thought I knew GOT but it's only like 1%
Which titles are the prequels? Should I start with them or the with the game of thrones book?
A knight of the seven kingdoms takes place 100 years before the event of GoTand brings together the first three prequel novels. then fire and blood (which I'm reading) is more in depth about the Targaryen three centuries reign. Also a history book about everything called the world of ice and fire of I'm correct. Those three and the box set of the GOT books are what you probably want. I did see research on it before I ordered and they cover whatever you need to know. I don't think Robert rebellion is told deeply in the books so this what a nice video lol
@@boogierogers4612 There's the 3 "Dunk & Egg" books I think slot in after Knight of the Seven Kingdoms I haven't read yet but I picked up with the other prequels. Not sure if they have much impact in "history" or just side stories tho
After the discovery of who Jon really is, you can see why Ned was always so protective in S1 when Robert would go on these blood thirsty rants seeping with rage in regards to killing the final standing Targaryen's. What an awful position he was in. Swallowing a lie for 20 years, that brought shame on his honor, caused Catelyn to feel like she was betrayed, and would've caused his best friend and King excruciating pain to know that Lyanna loved Rhaegar, and they bore a child together who he undoubtedly would've had murdered. Ned really was in a no-win situation, that put so many people that he loved and cared about at odds with eachother.
Yep that's why Ned was such a great man, unlike damn Sansa who can't keep a secret for more than 2 minutes
Ned didn’t know that Lyanna loved Rhaegar or vice verse, he believe that he raped her
"Lyanna loved Rhaegar " Not sure since lyanna was only 14
And if you have read the books And Ned's Pov , you would have known that Ned in that moment talking with Robert . Didn't think at all of jon he was worried about daenerys . He even said Robert wouldn't harm anyone with my blood . Just don't mix your interpretation with Ned's actual thoughts
My fav character was always Jon Snow, so this part of the story was the best.
Never knew how complicated Roberts Rebellion really was. Kinda want to see it on screen now, especially the Battle of the trident. Too bad it won't happen because everyone knows the outcome.
Wait what? That’s a weird reason not to have a prequel anyway since every prequel ever made had people knowing the outcome before hand. Wat.
@@roronoalaw7772 Not quite true. With most prequels we only know what happens after the prequel not at the end of it
With young Ned Stark and Gendry as Edward and Robert...
@@otto0363 What a stupid argument to make
Alright but can we talk about how this dude posted his comment 3 years ago and he still replied in record timing
Mace Tyrell is that one vassal ally in CK2, that simply refuses to attach his 8k army to yours and instead besieges some remote areas of the enemy realm.
It was actuall smart in a way to keep Stannis sieged so he couldnt join Roberts forces
@@JoSheperd also smart considering he played both sides. If targaryens won , mace would say , we seiged rober for you my king, when robert won. He was like I did not do much damage to you or was not an active participant and his army for the most part was still intact.
@@JoSheperdStannis barely had any solider, Mace had the largest army in the Seven Kingdoms. He just went and sieged one of the most impregneble castles with his giant army. It's super dumb, if he went after Robert he would have crushed the rebellion.
@@bobing1752 Probably right sorry also since we are talking bout a young inexperienced Stannis doublewrong
All because Rhaegar couldn't keep it in his pants
Rhaegar is the Zeus of Westeros.
@Ac Kk right I mean they played Jenny's song. Its said rhaegar wrote the prophecy into that song
But because of this birthed a boy who could one day grow to save the seven kingdoms from a bigger threat then just war between men.
Colby B I truly truly hope Jon ends up okay at the end of the show, I’m not sayin I wanna see him as High King or anything, just alive. This is the only thing I truly want at the end
@@Hugh_Morris either he or Danny will die
You're telling me Rhaegar was still able to assemble troops from Dorne after cheating on his Dornish wife? :O
They gave rhaegar their troops because Elia was like a hostage in king's landing so that left them no choice but to side with rhaegar.
In Dorne, they swing, have paramours, and homosexuality isn't frowned upon.
Considering Lyanna was in Dorne, I believe Rhaegar and Elia might have had some kind of agreement which the leader of Dorne accepted. Otherwise in no way would Lyanna's presence be acceptable there with so little protection
Yes , and in the show he annulled his marriage to her in secret. Can you imagine this.
@@falco1758 yes yes use Elia's culture to defend Rhaegar haha. First of all not all dorne are like that. Doran martell the head of house martell the ruler of Dorne never took a paramour . Oberyn never marry,yes they are more modern than the rest of westeros they still value marriage . And show Rhaegar annulled his marriage to Elia if they knew of that they would have joined the rebels . 2- dorne sided with the crown bcz Elia martell and her children were hold HOSTAGES by the mad king .
Do a similar story for Aegons conquest, where it all began please.
Just read 'Fire and Blood'.
The entire video would just be “and then his dragons nuked the opposing army and won”
@@fort809 also *insert king* knelt so he wouldn’t end up like those other kings that were nuked

Why the hate? I think this video was just as good as his historical ones
because this is not real and not everybody watches game of trones we want real battles and history, not fiction
I don't mind it not being historical, Baz still went into great detail like usual
Well obviously they get into detail, because it's fiction. There's no obscurity or real life stakes at all.
then don't click on the ones that aren't real..... not very hard!
+Ignacio Gonzalez He said it's just a special episode and he is still doing historical, it's just because season 7 is out now, also it's his channel he can make whatever video he likes so stop bitching about it!
10:12 “You are late, Lord Frey!” LOL
*That moment* when Robert came out of a Brothel to fight the Connington to a duel cracked me up.
Absolutely awesome vid. I enjoyed watching this more than watching season 8 so far. I'm pissed I didn't discover your channel sooner lol
Then read books
@@yenidendogan-ejder I will
Watch Fire and Blood Channel it's freaking amazing
I’d give anything to see Robert’s Rebellion as a 10 part series 🥹
Tywin didn’t order to kill Elia, just her children. He just neglected to tell Clegane and Lorch to let her live and to make the children’s deaths ‘clean’ but those pea brained psychopaths made a mess out of it
This video has 2-3 times the views of any other of their videos, and it's only been up for a week. THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is how to properly attract attention to your channel. Brilliant move.
i hope it's not actually a one time thing, he seems to have a passion for song of ice and fire, and i for one would love to see some more battles from the series get this treatment.
Well it is the most important historical plot you need to know, to better understand Game of Thrones.
rockyblacksmith totally true, my good sir
rockyblacksmith Exactly! Brilliant indeed.
Well, Game of Thrones has become the most mainstream ever on the media and popculture since Star Wars. I wouldn't surprised if one day the fanbase is as big if not bigger than Star Wars.
This is so real realistically narrated that for a moment I thought this was the real history of the world and ours just some fairytale. Maybe it's like that in some parallel universe.
except dragons, dragonfire the names valyrian steel white walkers magic a 700 meter wall people who can see through animals eyes, people who can see everything, children of the forest. the faceless men and much more, but yeah the game of thrones itself is very nicely narrated and the world is incredibly well built.
@@LARRY113Z why would you tell someone to kill themselves over something so insignificant
@@spurdsy There is only one enemy - death - and we still have to fight him
That's because it's well-thought out by GRRM, as opposed to the TV show writing.
@@ninikolaj Sam to Jon Snow: You'll never believe what i dreamed about last night. Flying carriages that could transport hundreds of combatants from Winterfell to Dorne in mere hours, black crossbows that fire tiny metal bolts at incredible speed and rate, rocks that explode throwing countless metal bits around it, easily wiping out small squads, armored carriages that's impervious to most weapons, flying carriages that breathes explosive fire and are faster and has superior range compared to dragons, metal ships that have big explosive arrows that could level King's Landing in a few hours, then there's the GOD FIRE, this thing wipes out cities in mere seconds killing hundreds of thousands like it's nothing. Don't even get me started on 'drowns' imagine a wight suddenly growing wings and being able to breath a superior version of dragon fire.
Quick point to add to this, Robert didn’t just get the throne as he was the leader of the winning rebellion (although this was definitely a huge factor) but he also had a legitimate (albeit distant) blood claim to the throne as his grandmother was Rhaelle Targaryen. This is why when Cersei confronts Ned and asks him why he didn’t seize the throne for himself, he mentions Robert having the greater claim (a justification he also uses with Renly IIRC). This is why I love the books, there’s the deliberate irony of Robert despising all Targaryens despite being part Targaryen himself, and the discussion of what makes a king (might vs right) is discussed throughout.
It is much more sad when you realise Rhaegar didn't even love Lyanna to begin with, he was more interested in producing a third heir with Lyanna because of his strong belief of the Azor prophecy, since Elia fell ill shortly after the birth of her second child, he didn't even care that Robert was in love with Lyanna.
Udon if Robert was in love with lyanna then he wouldn’t have slept with a multitude of women... second we don’t know what exactly happened with rhaeger and lyanna
Udon so learn the lore first before you spout nonsense. (Ps it’s stated little finger started the rumor that Rhaegar kidnapped lyanna. He hates the starks to it’s likely he lied)
@@juniornisthal2216 STFU. LF was in his small keep when all that happens. He didn't start anything. Lyanna was an incubator to Rhaegar.
Dorella Narange no he wasn’t he was injured after the duel with Brandon... Hoster sent him back home once he recuperated. That’s how lysa got pregnant
@@juniornisthal2216 Read it again, you dummy.
Couple of factual errors here: Robert Baratheon was present at the Battle of Gulltown. He was the first on the walls, slaying Lord Marq Grafton is a duel. After that, he took a ship to Storm's End. The first major victory for the rebels was in Gulltown. The Battle of the Bells, far from being the first major victory, was the turning point of the rebel fortunes, as their beleaguered commander Robert was able to link up with Eddard Stark, Hoster Tully, and Denys Arryn (who would die in the battle in combat with Jon Connington). Almost as important as the loss of Rhaegar Targaryen at the Trident was the loss of the three Kingsguard knights who were Rhaegar's subcommanders. Lewyn Martell was slain by the Vale troops, Barristan Selmy was captured by the Northmen, and Jonothor Darry was slain by the Riverlander troops under Hoster Tully. The loss of those commanders meant that no commander was present to rally the fleeing forces, to retreat to King's Landing and bolster their defenses. There was a minor battle with the Greyjoys off the Mander following the Trident. Lord Quellon Greyjoy, father to Balon and a dedicated reformer, was killed in a worthless skirmish near the Shield Islands in the Reach fighting the Shield Islands navy. Robert was acclaimed before the Battle of the Trident by the overwhelming assent of his bannermen. He did not want the position, nor was this decision made following the Sack of King's Landing. Still, very slick presentation as you are known for. Cheers, SomethingLikeALawyer, Wars and Politics of Ice and Fire
ToWageWarPodcast you're good.

ToWageWarPodcast damm, were the kingsguard commanders weak or something? They had more numbers but every one of them died or got captured?
Shit dude...
This story should be the spinoff for game of thrones. This is really interesting even without the WhiteWalkers. GOT makers should make a spinoff. It can easily last 5 seasons.
It's already greenlit bruh
@Ac Kk the spinoff is taking place thousands of years before current time GOT
It'd be cool to watch but we already know how it ends. I'd rather get a new story
It should be a movie, NOT a show imo
@@Flamerunner451 then how come Better Call Saul clicked? Knowing the ending and how it got there, is an interesting art if handled great and I'm sure they'll.
I like to imagine that just before Robert charged into battle, he turned to Ned, who was right next to him, saying, "Remember Ned. Rhaegar Targaryen is mine."
I can picture it in my mind very in character
Cant even watch this anymore. Thanks D&D for killing a whole universe.
They didn't do a thing to the universe, GRRM came up with all of this. Just read the books, that is the only true GOT.
This has better writing that the last season of GoT.
@Jack Walters less than 1/8th doesnt count as jewish according to nazi standards, just saying...
Ohhhh edgy teen
Than the last four seasons
Better....... Wayyyyyy better
Chaimae ⵣ True but season 5 and 6 are still alright
Doing some fantasy battle from time to time is not so bad of an idea, maybe LOTR would be a fitting choice for the next special.
I second this. I think it's great to do both. Obviously keep the main focus historical because that's what this channel was based on but I think it's a great way to grab more viewers and it really puts a lot of these battles I've read about into perspective.
+Danger Russ I can't wait to see what boxes will be used for DRAGONSSS. But yes, the main thing has to be reality
well, technically the channel is "BazBattles" not "BazHistoricalBattles". Altough I fully support keeping it focused on reality, some battles from fiction are a great addition, especially those that do not appear in the TV versions of their universe
Totally agree.
I would like to see him do some obscure battles, like the battles of the Isen
One thing I'd like to point out: 11:57 Tywin admits to Tyrion that he did not order Elia's death since he had more pressing matters. like his son being somewhat a hostage of Aerys. he did, however, spin the situation to his advantage and did not punish the mountain
"You are late lord Frey!" xD that one never gets old
"You're late Lord Frey" As always 😂
Omecats Hoster called him "The late Lord Frey."
It should be added that Robert claimed the throne because he had Targaryen lineage. His grandmother was Rhaelle Targaryen, who was an aunt of the Mad King - Robert and Aerys were therefore cousins once removed.
Robert's claim was his warhamer
True, his claim was military above all else. But he did technically have a legal claim as well, which probably played a role in many houses at least publicly accepting Robert as the new king. With Aerys and Rhaegar dead, and Viserys and Daenerys excluded (children of the mad king), Robert was legally the next in line to the throne.
Military or warhammers are not claim, period.
"Never forget: bigger army diplomacy." -CGP Grey, Brief History of the (British) Royal Family
+G-Rex Saurus If your military is powerful enough to take and hold whatever it is you want, then claims don't really matter. Claims are legitimate if you have the power to make people honor your claim. Otherwise it's just words.
I always felt bad for Jamie Lannister for killing the mad king. The guy saved half a million people with a single stab!
Aerys was paranoid his son Rhaegar was plotting against him. And maybe he was. There’s little explanation for why the loyalists allowed Robert’s rebellion to get to the fever point instead of strangling it in its crib. They didn’t commit troops to defend Gultown from Jon Arryn. The Martells reluctantly sent the bare minimum of troops to aid the crown. And the Tyrells essentially allowed Robert to escape and join the other rebels by turning course for Storm’s End. Remember during this entire time Rhaegar is just missing. No one is certain of his location but there’s some indication he’s in the reach or further south. That might even by why Robert marched his army west, looking for him, before striking north. I strongly suspect Rhaegar told the Martells and Tyrells to save their power. His plan was to father the prince who was promised than allow the rebellion to reach a fever pitch before putting it down himself at the Trident. Then he’d join his forces with the Tyrell and Martell reserves and return to King’s Landing and “convince” his father to step down and abdicate to him. Rhaegar himself told Barristan Selmy there would be changes at court following the Trident. A man as smart as Rhaegar was no doubt saw the deterioration of his father and realized the damage he was doing to their rule, their house and the realm
Somehow, this is much better than season 8 episode 4

Walder Frey: Game of Thrones version of The United States.
that's how he earned the nickname he hated so much: the "late" lord frey
The guy was always an opportunist and coward,who wouldn't do any real fighting,had no loyalty and would always ally himself with the winning side.He's the guy who turns on you,the moment,things go south. Remember how Robb Stark's uncle warned him about the Freys?

Blabesh game of thrones is more interesting than history lol
I would agree but GoT was inspired by history.
And surprisingly good comedy as well
dragons would be too op though, the field of fire episode would probably be something like 2 minutes.more like 45 seconds
One of the greatest and most informative GoT history videos I have ever watched. You should be very proud of the work you have done. Incredibly clean and easy to follow video!
This is simply a quick overview of the conquest from the book : The World Of Ice And Fire. There are many details left out in this video for time's sake. This is maybe a 5th of what happened. Get the book if you want to know more.
They really need to do a rebellion spinoff series. The Battle of the Trident could be the most spectacular battle on TV.
I watch this video quite often and can’t underestimate how perfectly everything is explained. Great voice great delivery. Very well done thanks for making it.
Point of contention: Tywin Lannister did NOT order his men to murder Elia, just her children: Tywin: "Elia need not have been harmed at all, that was sheer folly. By herself she was nothing." Tyrion: "Then why did the Mountain kill her?" Tywin: "Because I did not tell him to spare her. I doubt I mentioned her at all."
CMDRKuixote mmm. Not telling the Mountain to spare Elia means killing her? What would the Mountain do to her after all? Set her free?
@@ararivadeneira7012 The smart move here would have been to take her as hostage/ward, like Theon was. This would have been a guarantee that Dorne wouldn't take action against the realm. instead, she dies. This leads to Doran Martell secretly pledging his daughter to Viserys, Oberyn Martell seething with murderous intent over her death, the whole of Dorne waiting for a reason to rebel, the foolhardy quest of Quentyn Martell (leading to his death), etc. Granted, this could have also led to a discovery by the Lannisters that Elia's son Aegon had been replaced with an imposter from Pisswater Bend, which would have thrown many of Varys' and Illyrio's plans awry. But, no matter what, Tywin Lannister STILL did not order his men to kill her. Sure, it's a bit of a nitpick, but that's just how obsessive I am over the book series.
CMDRKuixote whoa well that’s an understatement we get it he didn’t even mention her jesus guy are you a Martell?
@@g.coleman Nah, just an anal-retentive book fanatic.
is this all from the GOT text? I want to go back and read this
Just a minor correction. King Aerys always listened to the counsel of Varys, but when Lord Tywin's army was the their gates, Varys advised King Aerys that they cannot be trusted, but, out of desperation, King Aerys listened to Grand Maester Pycelle whom advised they should open the gates for the Lannister army.
Not starting anything but you literally got that from the show, don’t try and act as if you’re an expert and have done extensive research into the topic aha
Tom Finigan lol what
Tom Finigan Bro chill out lmao
@@tomfinigan6099 Not calling you out, but generally anything said before "but" can be ignored.
Jake Bowers Fine I’ll change the word ‘but’ and say ‘however’ instead of it then x
Love how all the northern houses rose in rebellion unlike the other kingdoms
Most northern houses have little to no interactions with the South. Only exception is the Manderlys, but they’re loyalty to the Starks is downright fanatical.
Best GoT thing I have seen outside of the show itself.
I actually really like this concept. It'd expand the scope of the channel while still being true to its premise. I could see all sorts of fictional battles in the future, from Tolkien's stuff, etc. Good stuff!
While I admire Tolkein for his mastery of bringing beauty out of the English language, I always found his battles dull. The good guys would always kill at least 10 bad guys for every man lost, even when they technically lost the battle. It was predictable and boring in my opinion.
And more to the point, they didn't really provide a clear picture of what happened. That would lead to speculation, which isn't really what these series are about.
OMG YES, do the battles from tolkien stories plsplspls
*multiversal battles 😉
Fuzzy Dunlop what about the fall of Gondolin? The good guys got slaughter and barely killed any of the bad guys? Battle of Unnumbered tears? They good guys lost the battle and lost so many men but barely killed the bad guys. Not every battle in Tolkien’s work is boring, just got to look for it
That was awesome. One little thing though - and this is really just nitpicking - Robert was crowned because he had the closest ties to the Targaryen bloodline while not being a Targaryen.
Blood Raven he was the leader of the rebellion and won the crown by force- the Targaryen linkage is just a lame justification of it.
Well, I think since Eddard refered to it in a discussion with Robert, so to a certain degree it mattered to the Lords.
its all about convincing the masses
thegrandfather of robert was married to the aunt of the mad king. thus giving it a sense of legitimacy. being 1/4th targaryan.
They should have done this as season 0 instead of season 8 while waiting for the books
Wow , that pulled so many story strings I have heard over the years, together to finally make sense as a singular story. Great job!
People complaining about this not being historic just don't get it. You want more regular vids? You want this channel to explode so the creator can focus on making more content? Then you need to put up with a little fan service. It's called marketing. Deal
Well put
Amanda Suttner In other words, sell out your shit to the lowest common denominator (GOT fans) that will eventually flood the channel and dicate the content. I've seen the scenario play out way to many times to be positive about it
So if you're a fan of GoT (which btw the content creator is) then you're the lowest common denominator? Nice. How about waiting until the next vid before crying "sell-out"?
@@DOPEdwarf oh look, none of this happened and you whined like a little baby over nothing. Boo hoo, the free entertainment BazBattles makes for you to watch wasn’t exactly what you wanted this week. What an absolute shame
Total War: GoT when
i would kill for a Total war GOT version
In the meantime entertain yourselves with the Mount and Blade GoT mod.
www.moddb.com/mods/seven-kingdoms-total-war
Toby Laroned there are several GOT mods for medieval 2 total war
Toby Laroned there is for Attila total war. Its a mod and its almost finished. You should go search it up its awesome
Man this is exactly what I wanted in terms of the rebellion and specifically the trident. A nice concise summary and timeline thank you so much
im so entertained with moving squares Edit: S Q U A R E S
what is this, hearts of iron 3?
Left more to imagination as usual. Probably why CK2, EU4, and all the others are so fun.
These moving squares represent people that dont exist rather than people that dont exist _anymore_ reeeeeeeeee
Random Stuff If you love moving squares you should really check out Historia Civilis :p
They're RECTANGLES dammit!
All that lore was for nothing in the end... Night king my arse
The books will do the story justice
@@deadlypyre If the book is even finished one day. :)
@@darkduprey4079 it never will
Damage has been done either way...
The books will have their doe
Poor Stannis under siege at home by Mace Tyrell, then was sent to Dragonstone and got stuck there. The ppl talk about him “man doesn’t have a sense of humor” can’t imagine why lol
I just love the way you give life to battles that are not transcripted or explained in the serie, thank you so much for your work!
The narrator sounds like the one from Stronghold Crusader. I love it.
Victory!
he is his name is Basil Stewart
He sounds South African. I love it.
@@ianbevis701 Where did you find that out? I can't find anything on him :( But he sounds like an English-speaking white South African from the Cape.
hahahahah..i feel you
Nice, i want to see a special episode about Aegon's conquest next time.
That and the Andal Invasion where House Arryn rode giant eagles across the Narrow Sea to the Vale and then House Reed stopped the Andals from invading the North at the Neck.
melejitt Didn't he just run around and kill everything with dragons? It was so dull. I'd rather the two attempted conquests of Dorne.
The blackfyre rebellion would be awesome. It's a full-blown Dragon and ground forces war between Targaryans
We want the dance of the dragons. that the only thing you want
monnir humaran All the Dragons died before the blackfyre rebellion. You are talking about the "dance of Dragons"
The Baratheon line also had the best claim, the first Baratheon was the half brother of the first Targaryen king, Aegon the Conqueror.
Not only that, but a daughter of Aegon V married ormund Baratheon
After 3 years this video is still so amazing. Such great work!
Do Aegon's Conquest!!!
Aegon fucked up !!!
DURRAN DURRANDON! ''Ours is the FURY''
ORYS BARATHEON and ROBERT & STANNİS BARATHEON! ''Ours is the FURY''
This is so cool ty for making this
PICKLE RIIIIICK
This was amazingly done it felt so real. It was like watching someone describe genuine history and not a fictions story. Seriously guys a big well done.
Man this is so nicely edited! It's like watching a Civ game play out. Great job on everything going on with this video, impressed as heck.
I'm sure HBO will make a series on prologue of GoT. There is so much content which can make a good story.
They've already ruled it out.
QuixoticQuaver they ruled out a Robert rebellion prequel??
sugaquaks Yes.
QuixoticQuaver He said prologue. That means anything before the current game of thrones.
Thats right the game of thrones has 10,000 years of history. I am pretty sure we will see some spin-off series.
Do more of this pls. Gives more diversity to the content.
Baratheon dude brings the "i came for history" dweebs out of the woodwork
Baratheon dude Can I have one of your helmets? They look badass
LOL "gives more diversity" to the content. Step 1 in how to give more diversity to the content: move out of battles that take place in Europe. Or step 2: cover a naval battle. Holy fucking shit!
BoxStudioExecutive Yeah, if you're unoriginal
everytime i see the word diversity my eyes roll, so overused, so fucking annoying. but i agree, this channel is awesome and can bennefit a lot from branching out
I like how you said that the Tyrells attacked Storm's End, which the garrison of which was commanded by Stannis Baratheon and left it at that.
Finally I see a video of the maps and relate to it after watching the last episode.
“Lord Frey you’re late!” Nice touch! 😂😂
History+ geography+ GOT = perfection
There is no way Rhaegar could defeat those Kingsguard, except they were go easy on him cuz he's a prince.
This is what is so special about Game Of Thrones....Even after completing the series there is so much story and so much diversification in it.
Ok, so yes, I am subscribed for the "historical" stuff on this channel. Yes, I haven't watched game of thrones and have no plans on watching it for now. BUT SERIOUSLY GUYS? This video was GREAT! We also got to hear our great storyteller singing OOC! :P
So glad that was kept in XD
valrossenOliver You can either read it (A Song of Ice and Fire, book series) or watch (Game of Thrones). I've watched the show and the books. Both are amazing but the show deviates a bit from the show. The lore of the series is very great (especially Robert's Rebellion) as it's interesting that makes up as much of the backstory for GoT and ASOIAF
ramonce09's stash *books
Farhan The Badass Scizor Yes, ASOIAF = GoT books
ramonce09's stash no, I was referring to the mistake in paragraph 1 of your coment.
This could be a tv series of its own. Hopefully I'm around long enough to watch it.
What do you mean? What are you like 85?
Hmm more like 96
Hmm. In your name says 1984. If thats your birth year, your 34 man.
It should be a trilogy not a tv show.
Pretty sure roberts rebellion will never be a tv show because everybody already knows about it. It was talked about at great length in the books and on the show. The spin offs are going to be new untold stories.
beautifully explained and detailed but that game of thrones theme song singing was the cherry on top! Well done!!
Love the quick detail of the Frey’s arriving late
This was actually better than the whole seventh season.
are you nuts?!
i was smart and didnt watch it .. fell for GRRM promising the winds of winter this year ... oh well
This is simply a quick overview of the conquest from the book : The World Of Ice And Fire. There are many details left out in this video for time's sake. This is maybe a 5th of what happened. Get the book if you want to know more.
This cunt is gone mad.
Mark Foster oh boo hoo the tv show didn’t go the way you wanted and now you’re hit him who cares when has there ever been a movie or tv show that truly stuck to the concept of the books. Stop being a bitch and deal with it
Major GoT events explained with moving rectangles? My life is complete. This video was great.
After the loss of Lyanna, who he truelly loved (maybe she did not love him back) everything he wanted to accomplish in his life was killing Rhaeghar and eliminate every Targaryen. He did not care about the ruling, it was said, that he did not enjoy it and looked way more bad afterwards. Sometimes hate is stronger than love, it is a strong feeling, it gives you strength and focus, but after you fullfilled your task, the hate lets you fall. Afterwards Robert had not many reasons to live, he did not wanted to kill himself, but he needed to make his life better through whores and beer.
You absolutely nailed it !!........what a stunning and beautiful representation and detailed analysis of the story.......my my!!....... A fan is born now
I think it's time Sega gave us a Total War:Westeros with a "beyond the narrow sea" expansion pack.
“You are late, lord Frey.” Hahah, nice one.
This is an awesome storyline. Someone should make it into a TV show.
Brilliant. This work BazBattles has done is simply brilliant! I have learned more about Game of Thrones and how things came to be which draws my attention and peaks genuine interest, than the required reading in school about all the real battles and wars that have been fought in mankind's history
Well explained. Here's actually hoping for a GoT prequel, there is lots of story yet to tell.
This aged well
