So like.....did I get a shoutout from someone and not see it? Or did the algorithm just decide it liked this video in particular? I am baffled by this, I kinda made this thinking nobody would care, but it sounded fun

I'm so happy you did Aegon III justice! The boy was so traumatized his whole life and he did the best he could

Aegon III's family: Kills all the dragons. Aegon III: Ascends the throne. History: HE DID IT, HE DID IT, GUILTY AS CHARGED!!!

Aegon the dragon and his sisters conquered the seven kindoms, but it was Jarhaerys the conciliartor who truly made them one. - Maestre Yandel.

"Every Monarch of Westeros Ranked From the Horrible to the Amazing", i.e. "Let's simp for Jaehaerys and Alysanne." 🔥

I like how they just stopped calling their children Aegon for a long time after Aegon IV.

I will forever say, people are lucky Aegon IIi was a good king and not mad and cruel after his childhood.

Good list, but I think Daeron II should be S Tier. He stabilized the realm after Aegon IV's disastrous reign; peacefully brought Dorne into the realm; had 2 sons who were both capable Kings, showing he was a good Father, and while the author states you would not want him in war, he successfully won the First War of the Blackfyre Pretenders, thus securing the most serious threat to a post-dragon Targaryen Household. Finally, he secured the loyalty of Brynden Rivers- the Bloodraven.

One big flaw of Viserys II in my opinion was how he failed to raise his son to become anything else than an incompetent, corrupt, tyrant. He might have been a good administrator but he failed as a father and, as such, was partially responsible for everything that happened during Aegon IV's reign.

Daeron I. was the first post-dragons king. Targaryen martial prestige relied on the dragons and with them gone, Daeron I had to something to reestablish it. Otherwise, the Lords of Westeros would have rebelled sooner than later against the dragonless Targaryens and ended the rule of his dynasty. That is what his conquest of Dorne accomplished, hence his line "You have a dragon. He stands before you." He showed that his dynasty did not need living superweapons to conquer.

Pretty accurate list I reckon. The most annoying bit I remember reading was how during Aegon V's reign the lords disliked him so much, during a harsh winter he sent envoys of food to starving people in the North, and they complained about him helping too much 😅

"Won't someone rid me of that troublesome priest ?" Maegor the Cruel : "hold my beer"

Daeron I should be moved to B tier for having the best quote in the series, "You have a dragon, he stands before you"

The HoD nicely showed that Viserys hardly did jack shit but at least he didn't fuck things up more by his own actions. Also the throne room scene was epic when he gets up there one more time while almost dead from leprosy.

This was fun. I agree with pretty much all of the placements, in particular that you stood Aegon IV the Unworthy out for being the absolute *worst* and Viserys II for really ruling for so much longer than he gets credit for. Good job Jake!

Imo if it weren't for Maegor and his cruelty, Jaehaerys wouldn't have such an easy time ruling the kingdom.

I will add on that Daeron II recognized that he wasn't a good military leader or a badass in anyway, which is why he gave the title of Protector of the Realm to his sons, who were badasses. Another thing is that Jaehaerys II actually handled the war of the Ninepenny Kings pretty well. He recognized that it was dangerous to let Maelys gather support and invade Westeros so he launched a preemptive strike on the Stepstones to stop them and keep the war contained on the Stepstones instead of having bloodshed occur on Westerosi shores. He even wanted to lead the war himself but was talked down from it by his Hand.

"I will not be ranking them as people, but as how well they did their jobs" And as a Recruiter I took that personally

I agree that Jaehaerys the Wise is the best overall King. Though Viserys II was probably the most capable administrator and politician, and a really great statesman. On a more personal note, I think Aegon III was a pretty good ruler overall. While he was not the most charismatic and suffered from a serious case of depression, he genuinely seemed to want the best for the realm and I think his peaceful reign was really needed after the bloodbath that was the Dance of the Dragons. Plus, while his sons were very flawed, neither of them was anywhere near as bad as Aegon the Unworthy was, so there is that.

Really good analysis dude and very fair rankings. Hope you do more tier lists in the future, this was fun.

We finally have someone doing Aegon III Justice. Yes he was depressed but he did his job well. Also I think Aegon V should be S tier solely for the fact that he tried to improve commoner’s safety but he was blocked by nobles.

Aegon III had witnessed his mother be eaten by Sunfire right in front of him. Sunfire was Aegon the II's dragon. Yup that was trauma.

Really enjoyed this video, I do have a big soft spot for Dunc and Egg. Looking forward to getting more opinions after I have read Fire and Blood. But your reasons seem very sound, nice work 👍

Daeron I "the young dragon" is easily my fav targ. Yeah he was only interested in glory but at the same time he never really had a chance to rule, as soon as he was crowned (at like 16 iirc) he said "fuck it time to do what Aegon I couldn't" and 'successfully' conquered the unconquerable kingdom without the use of any dragons. Sure it didn't last long but still an impressive feat. If he survived the war, married his sister Daena and actually got to spent some time upon the throne i can imagine him being pretty diligent at it.

Viserys II was the real MVP for pretty much his entire life as a politician and ruler

YOU GO JAKEY YOU HIT THAT ALGORITIM I'M SO PROUD OF YOU

Great video man! Keep it up I see good things for this channel in the future

Totally agree with everything... Except Aegon III. He deserves at least bottom A tier. He did his best to heal the wounds left by the Dance

Thank you for doing justice for aegon the 3rd poor baby and just about everyone suffered greatly from the dance. I really want to see meagor the cruel reign in a TV series I just want see all the different angles and flesh out beside madness and being cruel I need to see his six year reign come to life, a very interesting targaryen king in my opinion.

This was fantastic. Aegon the Unworthy really was the absolute worst.

I think Maegor Is underrated. Not only he increased the control of the crown on the Faith by abolishing the warrior's son and the poor companions but many forget he was the One Who basically created the office of the master of whispers and while the construction of the secret passages of the Red keep and the maegor's Fort was pretty cruel for the constructors, they Will became very useful in the future( Oh yeah he also constructed the dragon pit)

Awesome, I was hoping to do something similar to this once I finish Fire and Blood this coming week.

Jaherys only downside was not naming Rhaenys as his heir. Viserys was clearly a great person who was not meant to rule

Are you really going to blame Rhaenerya for fighting for her throne? It wasn't her fault her throne was usurped.

Bro rheanyra name is not that hard to say

Goddamn. What an accurate list. Kudos to you dear sir.

Aegon V was straight mid. While good hearted and tried to do the right thing, he wasn't successful in his endeavors and his inability to control his children led to a short rebellion from the Baratheons. Not to mention killing most of the Targaryens at Summerhall.

Would probably put Aegon V in low A and Aerys II in high D but otherwise yeah pretty spot-on. Robert Baratheon would probably get a low B, high C from me in this ranking. I suppose we'll have to see if HotD changes the ranks on Aegon II or Rhaenyra at all, but with the Dance consuming their shared reign that won't be easy (I'd say Viserys as a king in C is still pretty accurate).

fantastic idea, I can guess why the algorithm loved this one

I would put Maegor a bit higher. He was cruel but at the same time, the faith militant was a serious problem and his war with them probably did help Jaehaerys negotiate disarmament with them. Also have to put the mad king in F tier he did kinda murder random lords which caused a huge rebellion against his house.

Will you do more videos like this? For Lord Paramounts and etc?

Nice ranking ! I would agree with this list and I really like the support for Aegon III and Viserys II !

Bookmarking the shit out of this for when I finish F and B next week

438th view. Good idea dude, enjoy the new subs. Although it did take Glidus awhile, so who knows. Good luck!

awesome vid m'man

Awesome video! What I dont understand though is that you would rank Rhaenyra below Aegon II? They should both be on the same step, and for sure she is not worse than Maegor the Cruel, who not only took the throne over his nephew, the rightful heir, but killed said nephew and married his widow. Also poor Aegon III. He went through so many horrible things it is amazing he didnt turn into a mad king.

You should do all Monarchs of Westeros. Including Post-Roberts Rebellion.

Great video! Where would you rank Robert and Joffrey?

Good ranking. Aegon I would be S-Tier for me. The ack of law reform thing is a strike against him but he ruled for 36 years in a largely peaceful reign, except for the Dornish War. He basically allowed the kingdoms to govern themselves and allowed his sisters to govern the realm while making himself known to the realm to establish Targaryen authority. Great warrior, good diplomat, good delegator too. Aenys is definitely F-Tier. I feel bad for the dude but man he sucked. For me, I would put Maegor in C-Tier because even though he was a terrible person he ensured that House Targaryen was feared by both the nobility and the Faith. He burnt and torturered and executed so many nobles, peasants and Faith Militant that people were scared shitless. It allowed for Jaehaerys to assume power easier and for him to have more leeway in enacting his reforms. Jaehaerys I was S-Tier. The ideal king, even if he wasn't the best father. Him passing over Rhaenys laid the seeds for the Dance of the Dragons. Viserys I is interesting because you could put him in C-Tier or D-Tier for it was his dual decision to marry Alicent and designate Rhaenyra as heir despite having several trueborn sons that directly caused the Dance. But, his reign was probably the most peaceful of any Targaryen. Aegon II is F-Tier. The dude was a shitty person and a kinslayer who usurped the throne from his sister. The Dance also caused the extinction of the dragons, until Daenerys brought them back. Aegon III gets a bad rap. I would put him A-Tier. Him and Viserys did a great job stitching the realm back together and healing the wounds left by the Dance, without dragons too. The dude was also severely depressed and suffering from PTSD, yet was a competent king. Daeron I I would put D-Tier. He did what even Aegon I could not but the conquest of Dorne was undone by the end of his reign. If his Conquest of Dorne had been successful and he had ruled longer, maybe things would be different. He also made a terrible decision in leaving a Tyrell in charge of Dorne. Baelor I would get a D-Tier. A zealot and a nutjob. He did a great job in negotiating a peace with Dorne, though you could argue that he should have been harsher since his brother was assassinated under a peace banner. Jaime said it best - he should have just closed his eyes and screwed his sister. Viserys II only ruled for one year but he was ruling the realm far longer than that as Hand. I would put him S-Tier. Aegon IV - F-Tier. Even Henry VIII who Aegon is based on did a lot of good for England despite his faults. Aegon IV basically caused the Blackfyre Rebellion by legitimizing his bastards. Just a terrible person. Daeron II - Great king. S-Tier. He brought Dorne into the fold, besides the Blackfyre Rebellion his reign was peaceful. He was what the Targaryens needed after Aegon IV. Daeron's biggest fault is that he probably wasn't conscious enough of Westerosi hatred of Dorne, so he failed to realise that a lot of people would resent the favour he showed Dorne. He also like Jaehaerys I should've taken steps to present himself a warrior, which his sons later rectified. Aerys I - the definition of mid. We don't really know much about his reign. He was likely asexual which isn't a strike against him. C-Tier. Let Bloodraven essentially rule the realm. Maekar I - One of the most underrated kings. Despite being a warrior king, his reign was largely peaceful, except for the Peake Uprising which lead to his death. He is basically the Targaryen Stannis. A-Tier. Aegon V - Tough one to assess. He actually did give a shit about the smallfolk and tried to help them but he was resisted constantly by the nobility. He also wasn't strict enough with his children. You could argue the roots of Robert's Rebellion began during his reign. And the Tragedy of Summerhall did wipe out most of House Targaryen. I would put him B-Tier since all his reforms were undone by Tywin. S-Tier person. Jaehaerys II - Only ruled for three years. Decent person. Competent king. B-Tier. Aerys II - The Mad King. Started off good but gradually became batshit insane. He caused his dynasty to be deposed. F-Tier. Robert I - Besides the Greyjoy Rebellion, his realm was largely peaceful. But his inattention to his "truebon children" and his lack of interest in ruling as well as his overspending put him down to D-Tier. Joffrey I - Only ruled for one year but that one year was all war. And Joffrey himself was a horrible person. F-Tier. Tommen I - The current monarch. Shows a lot of promise. He needs to toughen up a bit and grow a backbone but he is shaping to be a good king. Too bad he's probably not long for this world.

Bro can you please tell me the app where you made the classifications, I want to use it in one of my videos of tier ranking of teams that qualified for FWC 2022...thank you in advance

I wonder where tywin lannister would be if he was on the list, considering that viserys got so much credit for being hand of the king and that tywin was essentially defacto king after robert died

I have no idea why this is on my recommended but hello! Good vid and I hope this blows up

Great list! Almost exactly how I would've ranked them. The only king I'd rank a tad lower is Aegon V. Hear me out. This is based on how good these kings would've been for the realm at the time and how well the respective monarch was received by the people. Now there's no denying Aegon V had good intentions and was a very considerate person when it came down to the small folk, but his efforts in redistributing the wealth were too extreme or at least too much in one go which is why many highborn disliked him so much. Then there's also the bit where he basically wanted to force his children to marry for political reasons while he himself still married out of love. A little bit hypocritical if you ask me. Needless to say even his children defied him on that front. All I'm saying is no matter how good your intentions are if you go about them too extremely you will encounter some backlash. He even thought at some point that the only way to get a proper say in matters again was to try and bring back dragons, which is the very thing thet led to his death at Summerhall. All the other kings in A tier by comparison have actively been able to solve or handle existing problems whilst Aegon V in trying too hard to solve certain things created more or different problems. And for that reason I'd personally rank him below Viserys 2. I'm still going back and forth on either High B-tier or low A-tier.

regarding Daeron II not being a good military leader, yes, he wasn't and he knew that but he also had his half-brother Brynden and his sons Baelor and Maekar who were able warriors each and through. Maekar's pages are so short because the majority of the Dunk and Egg books (if they ever get wrote) will take place during that time)

can you make a tier list about the best targaryen fighters? (only targaryens)

*Aenys I is mentioned* "Okay so we're going to create a new tier"

I think Jaehaerys gets too much credit. He should've been the one that stood up and firmly established male preference primogeniture rather than MALE ONLY. Instead, he passed over Rhaenys and went to a different one of his sons instead. He CREATED the succession crisis, which led to the subsequent succession crisis when that heir died, which led to the subsequent succession crisis when Viserys died. All he had to do was say, you know what, my eldest son and heir only had one child, she was a woman, and thats totally fine. By skipping over her and basically codifying the "male only" rule, he CAUSED the dance of the dragons and ruin and fall of his own house because the civil wars ended up with all their dragons dying which is where their power ultimately came from. Everyone important was AGAINST passing over Rhaenys for the father of Viserys. His own wife was against it, the Velayrons were against it, the Baratheons were against it. It pissed off the most powerful families in Westeros. if he chose Rhaenys, she would've had the backing of House Targaryen, House Baratheon, and House Velaryon. The guy he chose instead also died before the king did, so by the time the king actually died and the crown passed to someone else, the rival would've been Viserys and he NEVER would've went to war to try to claim the throne for himself by killing his cousin. Daemon might have, but then again he may have respected the king's decision if the king never wavered from it. The second succession crisis really came about because the line of succession kept jumping around down different bloodlines. If that never happened, and stayed consistent with the eldest of the eldest, I don't think it would've ever been a problem. Rhaenys should've ruled as Queen after the death of Jaehaerys. The next best claimant was viserys, who wouldn't have started a civil war, and its unlikely Daemon would have either if their bloodline had never shot up the line of succession and then had been asked to step back down again.

Tbh most of what made one king rule well and another rule poorly was circumstance. Aegon V was clearly a better man and a better king than Jaehaerys I, who was as sexist as most characters and didn't really want to make major changes (his wife had to push him into outlawing the legalized rape of common women), but he had dragons. Aegon's ancestors killed their dragons, so his progressive reforms led to rebellions and almost certainly weren't enforced in most places, and Tywin Lannister undid them all 20 years later. If we just rank them by "Was there a lot of instability or not?" then Aegon V is mid-tier at best.

Not putting Aegon the Conqueror in S tier makes the rest of your list as illegitimate as Rhaenyra's children.

Good video. Maekar, Viserys II and Jaehaerys II are very underrated kings IMO. theyre not like elite level good but they did the best they could under the circumstances.

Just out of curiousity, based on what we know about them, where would you speculate Daenerys and fAegon would go on this list? I know we don't have much to go off (especially for young griff), but on pure speculation and what we do know.

I love how most of these are recollection of bias maesters outside of quotations.

Leaving the laws in place for Aegon 1 is a point in his favor though. It was a conciliatory approach which created a lot of goodwill.

If House of the Dragon continues as anthology after the dance, I’d like to see the conflict with Aegon IV, Daemon Blackfyre and Daeron II

Great list. There's nothing I really disagree with at all, except my memory of Maegor *as a king* seems to be slightly higher than you have him, but yeah as a person he is literally trash mountain.

After the show, your thoughts on Viserys still the same?

I know you said Targaryen but thoughts on Robert?

Please Rank the pretender King/Queen like Rhaenyra Targaryen, Stannis Baratheon, Daemon Blackfyre etc.

Viserys 2 is S tier imo. He managed to put the realm together after the war and everyone had lost faith in Targaryens but he kept targaryens ruling WITHOUT dragons

I think Baelor is underrated on your list. While he was insane and most of the stories are utterly absurd, it is repeatedly stated that the common people *loved* him. He left his hand and his regents, chief among them Viserys II, to rule the realm well. Peace was maintained and the realm Successfully administrated all the while a Baelor’s ridiculous hijinks kept the smallfolk happy. The only problem is the way he wasted the crown’s money.

Don't forget Jaehaerys I failed to listen to Alysanne and started the Dance of the Dragons. Viserys II all the way!

Aerys II almost burned down the entire of Kings Landing with wildfire cause he didnt want Robert to have a place to rule and as a revenge against his enemy. I cannot see how that doesnt earn him a spot next to Aegon IV. He had a huge impact on the rebellion (granted Rhaegar wasnt innocent here). He was a pure tyrant to his own wife and children and to the whole realm. He didnt burn down Kings Landing, not cause he was being a good guy, but because the Lannisters betrayed him and killed him.

Aegon I was a perfect performance of Bohemian Rhapsody. Aenys was a kid playing Mary Had A Little Lamb on a recorder.

Daeron II is described in Dunk and Egg stories like a brown haired guy if I'm not wrong. Just a curiosity.

Aerys II was the absolute worst Targaryen king by far. He literally ended House Targaryen

I want to see a series about Aegon IV the worst king Reign

Some changes I would make r putting Baelor and the young dragon a tier down. Putting Aegon I in S. Daeron had his son Baelor breakspear as hand who made his reign stable. Aerys had bloodraven

Maegor is high C tier and maybe even low B tier. Yes, he was far from a great king (Killing Aegon, multiple wives, blood magic (that he probably was resurrected with himself) and executing people that worked for you are all bad signs), but the Faith needed to be smashed to pieces and a conflict with them was unavoidable and would happen sooner or later. In general, you want to ensure that religious people do not force their beliefs on everyone else and those people that cannot understand that religion is a private matter and not the law for the realm should be killed. Preferably as painful as possible. And because of his brutality the threat of the Faith Militant was smashed to pieces. Yes, The Faith Uprising did not fully end until the Conciliator brought peace to the Seven Kingdoms but this peace COULD NOT have been reached if the Militant was as strong as they were before Maegor's rule. They were so weakened by constant warfare that they had little choice but to adhere to Jaehaerys and reconcile to the Iron Throne. Because of harsh methods of Maegor the great lords learned to fear House Targaryen once more, as it takes fear of retribution to fully lead. If it weren't for the carnage and bloodshed that Maegor exacted during his short and brutal reign then future kings like Jaehaerys I and Viserys I would not have enjoyed such long and prosperous reigns. They still would have had to contend with the constant backbiting of rebellious lords and the Faith Militant for decades more, if the Dynasty even survived. State terrorism might be despicable, but it works great! He did what was needed to be done. Viserys C-tier is ok, but maybe a bit too generous. I would say low C-tier or even high D-tier, slightly above Robert Baratheon. He is inheriting a VERY stable realm from Jaehaerys but is indecisive and doesn´t really do anything but seems to most hope that problems will sove themselves. So sure - he's an okay king who made a really big mistake. But that mistake is big. Very Big. He single handedly created the greatest internal conflict of his family. And this conflict will have terrible consequences and make his house extremely weak in the future. He had many opportunities to solve this conflict. 1 - Name his brother Daemon the heir and name him his hand. 2- Name Rhaenyra heir and stay single (everyone with a brain should realize what would happen here if he gets a son from his new marriage) or 3 - Name Aegon heir and cast Rhaenyra away. Yet at very point, he did nothing and spent his time with wishful thinking. In short - he fucked up despite having the best starting position. At least Daeron took risks and was a great general... Rhaenyra is getting a bad rap from you here. Yes, she clearly had some issues, but remember - she was usurped and had to spend her "rule" in constant war. Sure, more leniency towards her enemies would have been good, but many of her problems stems from the Green coup - like not having any money for food, since they stole the treasury, which in turn led to protests and rebellion. So, she did not do a great job, but there are mitigating circumstances here. I would put her in High D-tier just below her father (and above Robert) and I would put Aegon in Low D-tier below Aenys. Neither of them wasn´t given a real chance as rulers of course, but sometimes life isn´t fair. Baelor I is F-tier and a religious idiot (The only 2 people worse than him on the job are Aegon IV and Aerys II (maybe Joffrey if we count the Baratheons)). "Peace with Dorne" sounds nice, but the reality is that he pardons the dornish for murdering his brother at a fucking peace conference which creates anti-dornish seeds that would later (after some heavy watering from Aegon IV) lead to Blackfyre Rebellion. He also throws his sisters in the Maidenvault because he is afraid of tits, did some book burning of things he didn´t like (hmmm, reminds you of certain people doesn´t it?), made useless appointments to High Septon 2 times, tried to replace ravens with doves, annulled his marriage to his sister-wife Daena (and thereby demonstrating to the realm that he had no intent of furthering the family line), insulted lords (like having them wash leper feet) and (of course) refused to sire an heir. If Viserys murdered him, then I say good riddance! Nothing he did worked and he should honestly have been strangled in the baby crib. Aerys I is mid D-tier. Aerys was an absentee bookworm, more devoted to the pursuit of prophecy and mystic knowledge than managing his kingdom. He kept royal forces concentrated close to King’s Landing, to prevent Bittersteel and the Blackfyres-in-exile, and left the west coast to handle the matter on their own, forcing Houses Stark and Lannister to ally to fight off the Ironborn. In feudalism, one of the chief obligations of the overlord is protection. Kings have large armies, and the threat of retaliation from an entire kingdom helped maintain peace. By refusing to fulfill his obligations, Aerys projected weakness from the top. He was also weak-willed and indecisive and made this (and other) errors out of fear. At least Maegor and Aegon II made a choice and went down swinging. I also hold his lack of sexual interest against him - few things are more important than siring an heir. Aerys II should also be F-tier (but ranked higher than Aegon IV). Piggybacking on Tywin is all nice but he got worse and worse throughout the years and getting his dynasty ousted is a big strike against him. Like Aegon IV he set the realm up for problems that Rhaegar would have had a hard time dealing with later, even if they had won the civil war. Otherwise, pretty accurate.

Rhaenyra deserved to make the list. She ruled for as long as Aegon II did, and it was her bloodline that ruled in the future generations.

Maegor was terrible for the realm but probably one of the best kings for the Targaryen dynasty. They needed someone like him to solve the situation of faith once and for all. Who knows how blood magic would have behaved if family marriages had stopped. The dragonlords' obsession with incest is not unfounded. Jahaereys was great for the kingdom but by passing Rhaenys behind without establishing clear and fair succession laws he planted the seed for the dance, it doesn't matter if Viserys had never declared Rhaenyra heir because at some point this house would have an heiress and the council of 101 would be lifted up. What's worse is that as a Valyrian house it wasn't even their way.

I think you willable Update1 this list after Fire and Blood Volume 2 appear

Are you wait Fire & Blood Volume 2?

I would have put Balor at D tier for burning the works of Septon Barth, the hand of the King for The Conciliator.

“I’ll time stamp around house of the dragon spoilers” then proceeds to immediately show the list of kings and scroll to house of the dragon era.

only thing I can suggest as you continue to grow is watch out for using trigger words that can get picked up by the algorithm/bots, such as r*pe etc. Otherwise great video

Why would it be a bad thing that Aegon largely left existing laws in place? On the contrary, that was really smart, the reason why so many were ultimately willing to bend the knee to him and give up their crowns is because not much really changed. they mostly could continue ruling over their subjects the way they always had. Had he tried to "reform" Westeros like some boneheaded idealist his reign would be one big civil war against all the people he conquered.

Ray-near-ah, you're welcome

cant watch the video smh. but commenting + liking so this video goes to the moon 🚀

You are overidealizing Jaehaerys imo. The roots of Dance of the dragons started during his reign - he was very indecisive in dealing with the succession. He was still possibly the best still but not without flaw.

More Fire and Ice content pls

i wonder if there's a way to rank hands of the king.

how would joffrey, robert rank in this?

Daeron I invaded Dorne because of the prophecy same as why Baelor was very pious

Mad Kings rule before the Defiance of Duskendale was pretty Ok, but after he was kept as a prisoner for a while that traumatized him and he became paranoid and lost his marbles.

Started watching this video after finishing Fire & Blood. 14 mins in. Well, cant watch further as I havent read TWOIAF

Visery's II, the best and most underrated ruler. I say ruler because of how long he actually ruled, outside of being the king for 1 year.

Daeron II's incompetence directly resulted in the Blackfyre rebellions. Placing him higher than C-tier is a joke.

Also I disagree with the ranking in the sense that Aegon IV belongs in F-, 7th circle, boiler room of hell tier

Logically Maegor should be above aenys as you said he put a stop to the shit show his brother caused but as terrible the killing of the red keep builders was it was a necessity based on what was happening at the time Edit: you read whar the faith was doing him shattering and destroying their power was a good thing if anything he left the realm better off for jaehaerys because the stuff he wanted would have been very difficult because of the faith and Maegors fury made then weak and more maliable to his desires

How are you going to put Viserys the 2nd in A tier for "nothing bad happening " but others in c, d tiers for "doing nothing". There are a few that nothing bad happened during their reign 😂
