We do have to worry tho. Tv shows nowadays ignore source materials and try to cater to the masses ( in got's case, feminism) Despite GRRM being a feminist he's not overdoing it in the books but the showrunners are morons.

No deep dialogue however!

What material? lol it’s based on a table top summary of the past. Lol ASOIF is material but I get your meaning

@@paschalnwosu1657 agreed

Isn't this based on like 5 chapters?

The Hightower’s can raise 25K men 1/4 of the reach’s army

​@@billychops1280 he said "any Tyrell bannerman", as in any other individual lord. Not the entirety of the Reach

@@rapturescorner5964 I never said anything that would contradict that, the Hightower’s are a particular case because they themselves have vassal lords like costayne beesbury mullendore Cuy Hunt etc… all those men as well as the Hightower’s add up to 25K

@@billychops1280 my mistake, I read your reply as a rebuttal to the original content.

@@billychops1280 From what I’ve seen most high lords have vassal lords under them, or maybe I’m just thinking Ck2 agot mod logic but I think that’s the case in most regions.

So he would definitely invade them

Hopefully they fend him off, in a legendary defense.

@@faisalkamal4319 True, hope he gets stopped though.

​@@thalmoragent9344i believe lord Leyton Hightower has a secret up his sleeve

Hence why House Tyrell is at the strongest ever since they become lords of the Reach , as lord Redwyne is Mace’s first cousin, best friend and brother in law, while Mace’s wife is from house Hightower, securing the support of both.

"Keeping up with the Tyrells"

they also have the token gay son, Loras

​@@fandemusique4693 not really. Lord Redwyne is planning to kill the Tyrells and trying to give Highgarden to his son due to being closely related to the tyrells

@@marwanali4878 proof ?

Facts, the Hightowers are the best tbh.

Exactly

Like the Daynes the Hightower’s have Targaryen looking features even before they married with Targaryens. They seem to have a type of magic of their own like the Daynes. Jeorah thinks Dany looks like Lynesse and Barristan thinks Dany looks like Ashara. So both Hightower’s and Daynes have Valyrian features despite not having evidence they’re from Valyria.

they have always had those features, while alicent's portrayed as dark haired, the old king mistook her as one of his daughter so she likely was meant to be valerian like before the dark hair portrayed got popular. that's why all her kids are fair haired.

@@theinvisiblewoman6783 The Hightowers may have Dragonlord Ancestry from even before the Valyrians rose up as a race. As in, Empire of the Dawn Dragonlords.

I think too. Since they are building to reveal something of the oldest House. Euron will probably get allied with the Others after losing his fleet because of Bran nemesis IMO.

Yeah, I hope Oldtown and the Hightowers will be able to properly defend themselves from Euron.

yeah, and that those same 'deep ones' built asshai! lots of weird black stone around the place lol

Lovecraft vibes

Don't hold your breath

Is that going to happen in the books? I haven't read them yet, but Euron sacking Hightower would be interesting.

@@nightraven2975 Euron's fleet is in the vicinity of Old town so it's very likely. Also given the amount of knowledge, artifacts, and wealth in Old town, Euron's definitely going to attack.

@@knivesmillions2913 Hopefully Oldtown is ready to defend themselves, would be a shame for such a city to fall to Euron. Would hit Westeros pretty hard, such a grand history with heavy significance.

Margaery's mother was Alerie Hightower who married Mace Tyrell

Yes, Queen Margaery’s mother was Lady Alerie Hightower and she was married to Mace Tyrell. In the books, she minor appearances and she even planned the wedding of her daughter to King Tommen. She was at the feast in the maidenvault and met Sansa Stark.

Cregan Stark is coming

No the hightowers and daynes having such features is not related to the valyrians

Imagine the accurate future?

never gonna happen. Don’t know how this pipe dream is still a thing

@@turtleguyfan the pipe dream of winds being released?

@@qwopiretyu i guess that and HBO redoing any of the latter seasons of GoT cause of the fan reception

@@turtleguyfan I never said they would, just that 5 seasons of house of the dragon or other prequel shows would come out before winds finally does

I didn't think they were retuning as show runners

@@129jmaster they aren't

Nah. Dialog isn't their strong suit

@@Ready-ForTheEnd true

amen. they made got more political than fantastical which is sad because they reduced all the fun we could've had

Yes. Lynesse (Jorah's wife) and Alerie (Mace's wife) are sisters and from the main Hightower line, daughters of Lord Leyton.

margaery and loras' mother is a hightower and ser gerold hightower is with ser arthur dayne as they both guarded the tower of joy to protect lyanna stark

Before there were 7 Kingdoms there were hundreds, most of the ancient Houses in ASOIAF claimed Kingship at some point in the story with only a few notable exceptions like House Tarly. These petty Kingdoms were either conquered (Example House Stark defeating the Red Kings of House Bolton and forcing them into vassalage) or through marriage alliances (House Hightower being brought under the Gardener Kings through marriages between the two Houses). Other times Petty Kings would set aside their crowns for the greater good (the Umber Kings bending the knee to Brandon Stark during the Long Night in order to aid him in his war against the Others)

@@bannedaccount540 Think he said something about the Tyrells or Hightowers being kings of the Reach

I'd say it started when Alicent married Rhaenyras father

correct. it all started when viserys chose to remarry all the while knowing that his new childwife would potentially bear him sons that could challenge his decision in making rhaenyra heir.

it can be traced back to the succession crisis that king viserys himself made, nothing more.

@@sersi8698 Viserys had to marry.. It's his duty to have more heirs.. Whether people like it or not, not naming Aegon his heir is biggest mistake

@@bubba2457 Granted the Targaryen civil war was inevitable because even after he had a son, Viserys I didn’t properly put him second in line or first. Also, if it wasn’t Alicent, Viserys I would’ve married someone anyway.

indeed my friend. we light the way. 💚

💚 We Light The Way 💚

purr bestie

It was watch tower

nobody really knows but there is a theory that both house hightower and house dayne's lineage trace way back to the great empire of the dawn

@@tristanyuri4680 😆😂🤣

Better a video about the whores from essos

They still are, it's just that they're not as explicit with their endeavors as the Lannisters are. House Tyrell is currently intertwined with House Hightower through the marriage of Mace Tyrell and Alerie Hightower, which puts Hightower blood in line for the reach and the throne.

@@bcf1237 good to know.that explains why margery was slotted to marry joffrey and his little brother.for some reason i always got the tyrells and hightowers mixed up

yeah the only difference is that the lannisters are more evil and cruel but nonetheless i agree

Yup

stil are the Lannisters of GOT in GOT

This one.

@@nidohime6233 😭

i'm all ears

You haven’t even finished it bro

Cringe comment

@@G_Kchrst Not really, I've read the five ASOIAF books and I've seen a considerable number of these videos. Based on that experience, these videos are better than the books. In fact, it was these videos that convinced me to read the books. These videos do a good job of making interesting stories out of little pieces of lore and one-off comments made by side characters. I thought by reading the books I'd get a more complete version of the story outlined in these videos. Turns out it was the opposite. The books are really just filled with meandering tangents that don't lead anywhere (btw he's never going to finish the series, you can tell based on the direction the story takes after the third book, which is to say, it completely loses any and all direction). Meanwhile these videos take those tangents and ADHD-rattled Jackson Pollack-esque torrents of incoherent "world-building" and turns them into what George should have been telling from the beginning -- a story.

@@BR-re7oz Yeah, I 100% disagree with this lobby, the books are very nicely written and the story takes amazing turns that make it very organic and honest with ig tragedy vibes. As for the series not finishing, I can only hope, it's not on my hand.

@@BR-re7oz I think you are just simple. And I don't say this to be offensive but I feel the books are best enjoyed by people who enjoy complexity and incompleteness in knowledge from a single perspective, more like how it is in the real world.

who is "she"? Rhaenyra? Well marrying Daemon is the stupidest possible thing she could do, since it was their determination to not make Daemon king that resulted in Rhaenyra getting named heir to begin with. it would unite the realm against her and him.

Who wants to live forever it’s boring as hell

I guess its because they explicitly went against the kings will(Viserys named and kept insisting rhaenyra was his heir) and they didnt just not do that, but deliberately hid viserys death for like a week whilst they plotted and when rhaenyra find out, she miscarried im sure. However, rhaenyra herself was unpleasant as well and entitled so they were both just as bad as each other.

@@bamzahutt3831 Tbh, Aegon II was the more legitimate claimant and he probably would've made a better king via his grandfather, Otto Hightower, as Hand of the King whereas Rhaenyra probably would've named Daemon her Hand and I don't think anyone doubts that would not be good for anyone. Yeah, they hid Viserys' death, but it was to ensure Aegon could be king rather than call another great council or anything, they knew Rhaenyra would have to declare war in order to press her claim, but I doubt they thought Rhaenyra would actually be willing to.

@@matthewhart9610 It’s literally Viserys fault. He originally named Rhaenyra his heir out of fear jealousy and spite against Daemon. The moment his sons were born they should’ve been the successors. He overruled the very same rule that put him on the throne in the first place and he went about it so foolishly it’s like he was trying to start a civil war.

@@aegonii8471 i fucking agree my friend, very well said

the bastard children really took me out of rhaenyra's side actually like...
