Just to clear something up. There was 300 years between Aegon the Conqueror (the first Targaryen king who united the kingdoms) and the Mad King. There was over 15 Targaryen rulers between them so the Lannisters weren't just sitting there to rebel. They were loyal to the Targaryens during that time. It was during the Mad King's reign that things changed. For the first 150 or so years of the Targaryen dynasty they had dragons but the dragons died after a civil war. The Targaryens continued to rule for another 150 years without dragons until they were overthrown during the Mad King's reign.

Excellent upload, thanks guys. I'm glad you watched this as you are clearly both into the Show and its characters, and these Histories & Lore give so much more depth to it all. I'm getting a lot of enjoyment from your GoT reactions, it's refreshing to see two reactors who are as intelligent, attentive, reactive and interactive as you both, it makes your reactions both heart-warming and heart-breaking to see. (I did say this show would be "a banquet" for you, and I think I was correct). You are two of the best out there, I can't wait for more. Take care and have a great evening.

It was fun watching Mair's mind being blown as the pieces started to come together and he was beginning to see the bigger picture. These lore videos are well worth watching.

It's amazing how little Tywin understands any of his children.

The Lannisters never ruled Seven Kingsoms. They were separated domains up to the point when Aegon united them. But the Lannisters always have been ambitious and one of the strongest houses.

House Targaryen is crazy. Their family history is crazy. One of the best royal families in all of fiction.

Ned called it murder because it was murder. He wasn't spot on about his conclusions of everything that went down that day, but the murders of Elia and her children are horrific. And Robert was happy about them. I hate Robert. Elia Martell and her very young children didn't do anything to anyone.

The book series is brilliantly written. He is so good at showing that everyone has good and bad in them. Things are never black and white. Characters you cannot stand all of a sudden start to show you they have reasons, or were acting on another's behalf, or influenced, msnipulated, or misinformed. It makes for a spectacular drama. Showing the different perspectives is so cool - it shows how history is written by those who win.

I really adore the additional context this gives to Ned Stark! Loved him so much already, but the additional information adds a lot of context to all of Ned's actions. His trauma from losing all of his family (except for Benjen) during the Rebellion and the additional trauma and horror from the sack of King's Landing. You can see how these affect Ned's behaviours and actions, and even more additional context to Ned's hatred of the Lannisters. Ned lost nearly his whole family because of the Targaryens, but he still was not okay with the murder of the Targaryen children or the murder of Daenerys. That's a personal reason that I really adore Ned Stark for. Also, just an additional reminder, Robert's own reason for rebellion was the abduction of Lyanna Stark. But the reason for the Rebellion wasn't ONLY Lyanna's abduction, but the murder of a head of a great house (Rickard Stark), his heir (Brandon), as well as the call for the heads of two great houses, the new Lord of Winterfell, Ned Stark, and Lord Robert Baratheon. House Stark who had the loyalty of the whole North with strong Southern allies (Jon Arryn, Robert Baratheon and a marriage alliance with Hoster Tully) had gone from a family of 5 to a family of only 2 because of the Targaryens, with the Mad King threatening to unjustly kill Ned Stark, who had committed no crimes. In addition, he threatened Robert Baratheon, head of another great house. So Lyanna Stark's abduction was the spark (and a large part of Robert's own motivation), but it was really the murder of Rickard Stark and Brandon Stark that started the Rebellion.

Robert is so impressed with himself. The Tyrells have a different pronunciation from the show here.

@Mair and Sophie good on y'all man for wanting to be reactors who educate themselves on what they react to. Gratz man.

I’m sitting here with my hot coffee and chillin with you, keep it up guys love your reactions and discussions. Greetings from Portugal

This is the version Viserys told Daenerys when they were growing up. All of these versions are a little skewed.

One thing to understand is, the Starks didn't surrender because they didn't want to fight; by the time Aegon reached the North he had already destroyed Harrenhall with dragonfire and burnt it to the ground with the Hoares (The Kings of the Riverlands and the Iron Islands) inside. They had destroyed the armies of two kingdoms convined in the Field of Fire, they burnt sixty thousand soldiers alive; in the Stormlands they had a battle under the rain, their dragons could't fly and they still destroyed the Stormlands army and installed a loyalist as Lord Paramount (the equivalent to a duke in our world). The only other kingdom that could have fought them off was the Vale, but they surrendered after a show of power. Torrhen did reunite with the heads of other houses to discuss what to do, and his half brother offered to try and kill the dragons; but Torrhen decided to surrender so the North didn't suffer the same fate as the other Kingdoms

I am a writer and I am always working on world-building. These writers who can create these entire universes with all of this history and lore are so fascinating to me. When you can build a universe, you will always be able to tell a story within it. It just keeps on giving. Hence, why there are so many books series and TV and film franchises! So amazing!!

Love when people do these, give a lot of meat to the story. 👍

I have to say you two are becoming my favorites as far a reacting to this world. I am a true Game of throne fan and beyond yes I’m a fanatic.. lol it is nice to see people truly enjoy the world but understand the world. I have read the books before this show came out and was beyond thrilled when I heard they were making a show about the Game of thrones.. and now House of the Dragon.. there is more to come also but I won’t mention those.. keep doing great job with these reactions. I too am going to start doing reactions due to the fact my family has been pushing me too since I’ve been such a fanatic.. Anyway can’t wait for y’all to move on to the next season.. btw do you two have a P. O. Box?

The Targeryens are from Valeria. Ned was really upset about the kings wife and the children being killed. Ned was just a good man.

I'm beyond mad as fvck that they didn't finish watching the histories and lore

These videos always include different character POVs regarding the same subject. It mirrors the books, where each chapter is a single characters POV so you get different fascinating POVs on the subject. It’s super fascinating and realistic

I love how the history and lore uses perspective and how that plays out with all of the arcs on the show. How we ultimately learn the truth about a lot fo these things.

Histories and Lore do not contain spoilers. You can watch them before or after each season to provide the deeper context.

11:05 Sophie is right. all valeryans are originated from valerya

Gotta love Robert's narration

Get ready for the ride!! So excited for y’all to start the next season!

The North might be the largest geographically but it was one of the least populated. The Kingdom's of the Reach and Westerland were the two most populated. I believe the Reach alone had more than double the population of the North.

Glad you watched this, its good watch, enjoyed watching it with you, and looking forward to season 2. Also watch out for comment section, sadly some people go bit too far in explanations even explaining things that you will discover yourself later as the seasons go on.

Could never watch this on my own but will gladly watch it wit yall😁

The North is larger than all the other kingdoms combined! BUT, it’s too wild and big to be conquered which is why it’s such a valuable place to have on your side. There were 7 separate kingdoms, all ruled by 7 different kings before Aegon conquered them all and combined them so he was the King over all 7. The other kings became wardens of their lands rather than kings but all have to answer to the King of the 7 kingdoms which was Aeries before the rebellion. Now it’s Jeffrey. The North is now in open rebellion. You’ll learn more next season but history and lore has to be watched after the season because there’s spoilers in them.

You guys can watch all the history and lore for each season except season 5 it has the story of “ the dance of the dragon “ witch is the story behind “ house of the dragon “ the new show so if you guys don’t want any spoilers avoid history and lore season 5.

Wow, I guess in those days, money didn't grow on trees, but the Lannisters could just dig it up out of their basement.

guys i suggest you to react on Shawshank Redemption (highest rated movie ever on imdb) or Pulp Fiction. both are classics and considered among the best movie ever produced!

It will be very interesting when you find out who killed Jon Arryn, no doubt.

That was great thank you both

The Lannister’s never ruled Westeros they only ruled a small region of it 1 of the 7 kingdoms. The Targaryen’s were the first to unite the continent under 1 ruler. Westeros was more peaceful under the Targaryen’s because they had the power to keep everyone under control. Before the Targaryen’s the 7 kingdoms were constantly at war.

Enjoying your GOT reactions, cheers.

I really hope that the series they are talking about chronicling The Age of Heroes and Robert's Rebellion gets made! Ooh wee! How all the houses got their sigils and words and these legends are played out!

I am glad you enjoyed it. I was not quite sure if I should recommend it to you.

Ya should look up a GOT map for a better understanding of where everyone is at compared to everyone else.

How can you watch an hour plus of lore and still be confused as to who aegon and arrys is, aegon is the great great great grandfather, the conqueror, who has dragon and shit, arrys is the mas king, who very much deserved to be killed no matter which way angle you look at it

History and lore made many things clear.thnx

Nobody was on the throne before them. Or there were seven different people on the thrones of seven different kingdoms. Aegon Targaryen united the kingdoms as one. His methods are another matter. The Starks were kings in the North, of course.

Good catch. As you saw, Robert Baratheon doesn't care. One of the worst persons to ever take the crown. And even if he was king, it was the Lannisters who had it all on the palm of their hands finally.

Poor sweet Joffrey, so misunderstood

I'm so excited!!!

Winter is coming.

I really hope to see Breaking Bad Season 5 Episode 3 soon!

Hardcore GOT fans want two series: Aegon's Conquest and Robert's Rebellion. 🐉🐲

Tywin was king without a crown 👑, if you watch all the history and lore parts, you'll know why

Katlyn prayed to the seven and Ned prayed to the old Gods

This si si god

👍👍👍👍

Hey guys! Game of Thrones is a great show and all, but I’ve missed your movie reactions. Any chance you could get some in soon before you start Season 2?

Ned's gods are the old gods. Catelyn is the Faith of the Seven. Sometimes you will hear the Many-Faced God referred to. I believe this is the Seven (as it is one god with seven aspects); I have seen other people disagree with this. Catelyn makes a sort of wreath of the Seven that she puts over Bran's bed when he is in his coma, I believe. This is also the faith that has the septons and septas. The church is called a sept. Peculiarly, the septas seem to be something like nuns, but they also seem to be governesses for rich family. Septons are like priests. Arya early on says that she follows the Old Gods and the New (the gods of the forest and the Seven). Later, she switches to the God of Death, more or less. Melisandre, the Red Woman, of course, follows the Lord of Light, and Stannis seems to, but I question his sincerity. He does hope the Lord of Light will gain him the throne. The Iron Islanders follow the Drowned God. Jaime mocks all the gods in his conversation with Catelyn where he asks where the trees were when they took her husband's head. Jaime was raised in the Faith of the Seven but is not a believer. He sometimes prays in the books, though, when he worries for Brienne. Jaime in the books had a prophetic dream when sleeping against a weirwood tree.

Yes Valyria is where Daenerys and Viserys come from is Valyria. They speak their mothers tongue. They ride and connect with Dragons but they don’t control the dragons the dragons allow them to have their connections with them. Btw the voices speaking are the actual characters from the show. Viserys was speaking about Valyria and the leader of the Nights Watch was speaking next. Tywin Lannister spoke next. It continues on with other characters from the show speaking about their history such as Katlyn and Bran.. can wait for you two to continue this show then you must watch House of The Dragon.

Whenever she hears his voice come "on" is an unconscious cue for her to talk over him and ignore what he is saying. Moving on.

Can you guys react to Tyler Perry Madea goes to jail 🙏🤞
