No, Harenhal’s curse is mentioned in the show. Little finger mentioned it when Tyrion floated the idea of giving him the castle.

I love (little?) stories like these that George put into his books, makes them so much more interesting to read over and over again.

According to the show, dragon fire can rip through stone walls. So it's a miracle Harrenhal was standing in any capacity.

House Hoare not be confused with Hoare House :)

Gargan Qoherys was "Gargan the Guest", named as such due to his proclivity for crashing all the weddings in the region to claim his kingly "right of first night". Fitting that he was gelded.

Don't forget about Amory Lorch and Vargo Hoat! Even though they weren't lords of harrenhall, it still brought them to ruin

Great vid, as always. Harrenhall was also held during Baelish's appointment by: Tywin Lannister, Amory Lorch, Roose Bolton, Vargo Hoat, The Mountain that Rides, Polliver and Raff the Sweetling and finally Ser Bonnifer Hasty by command of Ser Jaime Lannister. All who held the castle had a horrible end, or will have.

7:50 Ah so this is why you recommend this video now.

I've been in Game of Thrones rehab and let me tell you how badly I just relapsed...

Man don’t say sorry mate you are actually one of the best GoT/ASOIAF info guide channels and thanks to you i know a lot more about westeros

Love your videos. Glad you kept the content and lore going after the TV show ended. These videos give me hope for the prequel show and remind me to re read the books.❤❤❤❤

I believe Harrenhal has the same effect as the touch of a dragon while burning things. I think they're kinda radioactive. There's radioactive fallout at Harrenhal, and the stilbirths and curse seem to have a relation to it. As for the dragons, every dragonrider who went burning around a lot got sterile: Maegor the Cruel is the best example.

I'm hoping somebody decides to dismantle Harrenhal since all that stone would probably be useful.

Am assuming Tywin wasn't so taken in to ideas of curses and hexes. Otherwise, he would take serious note to the stories of sad and grisly endings of any lord or King who makes themselves comfortable in Harrenhal

Hbo should hire you they need someone with the knowledge of the book lore so that there is no repetition of season 8

Lol I came back here after seeing House of the Dragon episode 6 now knowing who was really responsible for the burning of Harrenhal while it was under House Strong.

There's also an aspect of the curse that makes the inhabitants infertile. Aside from the many miscarriages and the failure of the many families that held the castle to produce heirs, it is noted that Pretty Pia who had lived in the castle her whole life and had carnal relations with half the Lannister army showed no signs of being impregnated. Jaime himself noticed that part about her.

*Kicks in the council hall in king landing* I heard GOT news

Your timing is actually Perfect!! I needed this, thank you.

There is a scene with Littlefinger visiting Tywin at Harrenhal with Arya in the room, so he visited at least once before his death.

Remembering good old days

Your voice is so soothing

Thanks for extra Halloween goodness in November! Love it!

What about curse of king's landing. All families which ruled king's landing ended up with just a single member surviving or no one at all. Be it the targaryen, baratheon,Tyrell, lanisters

Thank you so much for another great video! I appreciate your time and effort. I love the story of Harrenhall!

Excellent, informativecontent as always. Your use of visual aids and cues is fantastic. SS

a vampire in westeroes, cool. it's already got werewolves, zombies, and frankenstien. a vampire fills it out nicely

Love all your videos, keep it up I’ll never get enough of game of thrones!

ur lore vids are always a nice sight

I think there is 3 times in the show when the curse is "mentioned" When littlefinger is given harrenhal Tyrion mentions it when he gives the idea to give littlefinger harrenhal (I dont know if this did happen but i think it did) --> varys made a quip at it when he was talking with littlefinger

Nice work bro I love your video so much

I wonder what Littlefinger will do with Harrenhal. Maybe nothing, and it'll become a haunt for brigands and such. Or maybe he'll have it torn down. A massive task, but probably the best thing to do overall.

Keep up the Lore videos!

No wonder the strongs died there too.. just creepy

Thank you for Not having so many ads

The castle belongs to the Starks now by right. Arya killed Petyr and it belonged to her grandmothers house. Their First Men blood and greenseer/warg magic can handle it. Bran can vanquish any lingering and unwanted guests he sees as Three Eyed Raven. Starks are hard to eradicate; ask the Night King and the Lannisters.

Haven't listen to a game of thrones video In awhile

I love art of balerion where his rider is just a teeny little speck on his back😂❤

Make a video about the jungles and woods of Westeros!! Including Sothoryos! Where giant spiders, wasps and werewolves live! I wish they showed more of that in th series..

Legends here after HoD ep 6, we gather for this Watch.

Game of Thrones/ASOIAF likes to dabble in the idea that blood and fire and sacrifices conjure great magic. I think the curse is real, after Aegon roasted it, the kind of shit energy that Harren and his family had pretty much gave it a horrible curse.

I know it's two completely different series and worlds but this place gives me Minas Morgul vibes.

You know i was thinking in season 3 episode 3 "walk of punishment" varys calls roose Bolton the "lord of harrenhal" when rod goes to riverrun for lord Tully funeral and guess what happened to everyone who carried his name 😂

loved the vid

Will you ever do a video just on the Golden Company or Aegon/young grif?

Thank you for setting my mind back! when, we all still had mad (lol) love for both the show and the books!! Props for having the courage posting this after season 5 -8! Plus, you have a nice smooth and sexy voice-over!!!

Don't forget about the other holders of Harrenhal. Amory Lorch is eaten alive by a bear. Vargo Hoat is slowly dismembered by the Mountain and then killed, Ser Gregor Clegane dies slowly and painfully from a poison, Tywin Lannister is shot by his own son, and I'm sure Roose Bolton will die soon in TWOW either executed by the One True King or killed by Ramsay.

Does the Death of little fingers count as the curse because he was named the lord Harenhal

Interesting video about the castle Harrenhal. Its worth wondering if being there makes the curse happen. Baelish never entered it.

King: I award you the ancient seat of Harrenhal Person with Common Sense: UH UH NO WAY THAT PLACE EATS FAMILIES ALIVE

Rhaena Targaryen lived here, and the tourney at Harrenhal led to the downfall/almost destruction of house Targaryen.

Well for lady shella... they came and WHENT

😂😂😂 Littlefinger's thoughts on harrenhal always Crack me up

There was good reason for Gargon Qoherys to be hated, he practiced the “lords night”. He would often find out about weddings and show up to deflower the bride, until he deflowered a maiden daughter of one of his servants who would open the sally port for harren the red.

Fire will reign 🔥🔥🔥

I’m pretty sure in GoT Baelish actually says something about the castle being cursed and all of its lords dying premature/unnatural deaths when given the lordship over harenhall

Nice video!

There were never such thing as the kingdom of Riverlands. However, great video

Ahh yes. Harrenhal. The halloween castle without a roof.

Wasent Vargo Hoat also briefly named lord of harrenhal by Bolton?

This video should have made a long time ago

13:23 “Harrenhal sucks. It’s creepy, and ugly...” something about the delivery was funny

The God's eye looks like what craters here on Earth look like >.>

@whycreate What do you think a match between Ramsay Bolton and Danelle would've been like? Or any marriage between the two houses?

When will the book be out on sale for the finale of got?

Well if we go by the show, we saw what Danerys' dragon (Drogon) did to stone when she attacked Kings Landing. It demolished stone. It's still canon, even if we do DESPISE Dan & Dave now. Harrenhall was response for giving me my favourite scenes from the show: Every interaction between Twyin & Ayra.

So will the curse effect Littlefinger even though he has never set foot in the castle.

12:44 Excuse me? Littlefinger at best has temporary governance over the Vale, and we don’t have any indication that he has interest in the Iron Throne from the books.

Thanks for helping take down the serial killer, your reward is cleaning the house 😬

I have a question. Is Harren the Black an enemy to House Stark?

I feel like Littlefinger.

Could the curse come from his location?

I see you did not mention Oswell Whent the most famous member of house Whent.

If the Targaryens hadn't have shown up with their dragons, the Ironborn would have ruled Westeros.

WC!!!

I love your voice

EARLY GANG

Rivers is the riverlands equivalent of snow so ya she was a bastard most likely

They should just tear down the parts they don't need and use the material to improve the wall and main keep.

I know more about the history of westeros than about the one of my own country, what's fucking wrong with me ?

Can you do one about the first Thanksgiving with Jon Snow and Danny? Boy was that awkward!

I dont think the targaryens burnt the castle the on the harren moved. I believe they arrived in Westeros on the day they moved in

mid-bleezy again here and thankful for the GoT fix +1

After Littlefingure House Frankenstein will take over.

Dragon fire can't melt stone walls

What ever happen to Alicent Hightower (Aegon the 2nd’s Mother) ?!?

Maybe they should have turned the place into a a fortified town of sorts rather than repeatedly trying to move one family + servants into it. lol 🥔

So Harrenhal was never repaired even though the complex was inhabited by later Houses? Seems kinda odd. When Littlefinger was given Harrenhal for his diplomatic efforts to merge House Baratheon which by then had effectively become an extension of House Lannister and House Tyrell he became the Lord Paramount of the Riverlands. A Lord Paramount required a capital to administer the region yet he was keen on wisely staying the hell away from the ruins of Harrenhal. So what did he have in mind to serve as his capital. I know Littlefinger married Lysa Arryn who had fled to Eyrie in season one after murdering her husband John Arryn who was Hand to King Robert Baratheon. In Season 4 Littlefinger orchestrates the poisoning of King Geoffrey at his wedding to Margaery of House Tyrell who run The Reach and extracts Sansa Stark in the process. What was Littlefinger's plans beyond the death of Lysa Arryn? How was he planning on ruling The Riverlands and from where? 🤔

The harrenhall is cursed.. I mean it's cursed haha .. Guess who's gonna add up the list next ??

The one thing I don't get with the lore is how can towers be a bastards name in the books but yet we have a noble family by the name house towers?

George RR Martin's books are like sopies

Fuck no offense man but i was falling a sleep, felt like I was in history class again.

Just give it to Bronn

Obvious choice for Bronn.

Walton Towers? Come on....

Game of Thrones session 8 was shit. Why did they m"Dan and David" ,mess it up

The word draught is pronounced draft, and means the same thing.

Yo

Draughts is pronounced "drafts".... just so you know
