Legends has it the white walkers bulit the wall to keep Arthur dayne in South

I’d take an Arthur Dayne mini series in a heartbeat.

I feel like Arthur Dayne is basically like a more heroic Lancelot, and Jaime is like an inverted Lancelot with more focus on his flaws.

This guy's a legend in my eye. Was in one scene in the entirety of the show and gave us the best sword fight in the history of GOT. A force to be reckoned with, Ser Arthur fookin Dayne, the Sword of the Morning!

That dual wielding sword display he put on in the show was epic.

I would actually love a series revolving around the Kings Guard starting with those who served Aegon The Conqueror. We’d get to see all of the truly amazing battles and duels of Westeros history. We could see The Trident. The Smiling Knight. The sack of Kings Landing and death of The Mad King. So many stories.

Arthur Dayne is truly built different

Ser Arthur is such a badass. I didnt like that they made him a dual wielder but he did look cool in GOT.

Thank you for still making this content, it cheers me up 😊

You, a plebian: morning wood Me, a patrician: sword of the morning

In a perfect world Dawn, Dark Sister and Blackfyre would have been introduced and eventually used in the battle of Winterfell. They could have been introduced via Howland Reed, Bloodraven and the Golden Company respectively. Arya could’ve set needle aside and dual wielded dark sister with the Targaryen dagger.

I bet Arthur Dayne is base of King Arthur with the whole mythical Sword Excalibur but more knight than King. I think the kinguards of Aerys the second era were the best but to bad they serve a shit king. Also do get the idea that If Arthur had a son before joining the kingguard he name him Mordred just a fun thought.

Thank you for making a video of my favorite character in game of thrones/ ASoIaF. This made my week and made me happy before midterms! 🗡 🌟

Really like your content mate, well spoken, well told. Cheers.

This guy seemed so badass wish we could see more of him

Outstanding, exactly why I have all notifications on! ❤️

Love your content so much!!

Keep up the awesome work!!

Simply put...this guy had the most epic role ...when you consider screen time + peformance this guy was awesome!!

Fantastic video as always! Keep it up your channel is awesome!

I love Arthur but my favorite fighter is definitely Cregan Stark, the man Aemon Targaryen said was the best swordsman he ever fought.

Elden Ring is out so you won't hear from me in a while

Arrthur was only in one scene in got and is still one of my favourite characters

Nice video just one thing I don't think that Ice would have been used to fight Arthur Dayne, it's often described as much too big to be used effectively in battle, it's only really used for rituals and ceremonies.

God I love the lor behind this scene with young Ed fighting sir Dayne. Wish the show would of went into more details about Dayne.

Great video and tribute to pretty much my favorite character from the series. Ser AD forever!!

One of my favorite characters in the books. The greatest warrior.

One of the best, if not the best, sword duel I've ever seen. Epic.

The sword of the morning is most likely an inherited title from the first battle of dawn. Maybe the Dayne ancestor went on a journey to find something that can win the war against the Wights and their leadership, it lead him to Westeros and to where the castle would be built (meteor crash site). Feeling the power of the metal he had it forged into the sword. When he saw the sword light up the darkness (caused by the first Long Night) they were in he called it Dawn. Thus goes my theory on the sword, this sword metal being a natural form of Valerian Steel that others wanted to replicate it, thus the origins of Valerian Steel, or so goes my other theory. In short the hero spoken of in that legend was a Dayne and the fiery sword was Dawn (it most likely works well in conjunction with fire magic when compared to other sword metals, bar Valerian Steel) or would go on to be the foundation of the noble house. All good heroes journey in their story to find a powerful artefact to win a great victory, the journey also makes sense on it's own, however, the meteor just landing within sight of the Dayne would lend more to it being during the Long Night.

Irresistible fantasy .. God knows how much time fans have invested in analysing and retelling sub-parts of GRRM’s brilliant imaginary lore.

We have the Badass then the Sea Snake and now the BLOODY sword of the GODDAMN MORNING !!! The coolness is going through the roof !!! Thanks for the content bro 🙏🏾🖤

Arthur Dayne is a very good standout character when compared to the likes of Gregor Clegane, or Joffreys brutal knights in his service

Arthur Dayne was a fookin legend

Great video!!!

Ohhh man I missed this upload 🥲

Yeah he was hands down the best swordsman in Game of Thrones.

I'm gonna love this one!

Jaime struggling against the smiling knight: Ser Arthur: Take a break kid, you are in for a show 😎

Sounds like he belonged in the Age of Heroes

I don't think Ned fought with ice or even had it with him at the tower of joy. Always thought it was more of a ceremonial blade to him. May be wrong of course but I can't recall any mention of bed fighting with Ice.

I think they will make a prequel season of “ Robert’s Rebellion “ I didn’t think they would do “HOTD “or upcoming “Dunk and Egg”

The dual swords thing was silly. Especially when he has one of the most legendary swords in the world from which his title comes. Dawn - wielded by the sword of the morning

He needs his own book

A Paladin, amongst knights.

He is pretty badass…even without his Uber sweet cosmic sword! 👍🏾

Just re watched that scene my friend who passed away always said that Arthur was letting ned start win and coulda killed him a few times but didn't. I always thought about that.

Thanks!

Imagine being so good at swordplay the nobles you serve give you what is effectively a lightsaber

I like the theory that Dawn is magical and "chooses" it's wielder. The other theory is that Dawn imbues its wielder with magical ability like foresight giving them the advantage of seeing their opponents next move. This would make them seem like an unbeatable swordsman and does make sense when you hear the lines about how a characters say the SotM was an excellent swordsman but put Dawn in their hand and they were unbeatable. It would be cool anyway. I want to see a battle with a Valyrian Steel Sword and Dawn. On the Redgrass field when the two Valyrian swords clashed they said it made otherworldly sounds or whatever.

Arthur Dwayne = Mance Rayder!! If you don’t believe me, reread Jon chapter 28 in ADWD, when Jon fights Rattleshirt (actually Mance glamoured). Has completely changed my whole look on the events of the tower of joy. I can’t take credit for this theory, I learnt it from Order of the Greenhand.

I like the idea of Howland Reed being in love with Arthur's sister and secretly going to live with him in the swamps up north to save her own house from Roberts Wrath. By returning the sword and setting up his story for Jon Snow Ned saves house Dain in the process how could they not equally love and respect each other. Sansa's short sightedness over picking Evil Jofferey instead of a Dain heir or Reed heir I find really interesting. Bet she could wish to have that choice back no matter how the final 2 books play out. I love the intrigue of this part of the story.

I hope Dawn is used to destroy the others. Dawn finally bringing an end to the Long Night would be very poetic

I want to see more of Rhaegar, Arthur Dayne, and a skinny Robert on tv

This need a show man

Arthur is my favorite

I don’t think you mentioned it in the video but apologies if I missed it but the title of the sword of the morning and dawn isn’t inherited like other swords you can only wield it if you are seen as worthy. Thanks for the video, really enjoyable

That dude was a Badass! He was a machine.

He was slaying with his sword in the mornings. That’s how. What a chad.

I wonder if someone can tell me why at 6:03 the map shows King's Landing not besides the Blackwater, is it wrong or am I missing something? Thanks in advance

I don't know if Ned actually said anyone died, he said he pulled down the tower to make cairns for each of them. Could be that they don't use their real name anymore and he took Lyanna bones home and the great red horse of Dustin, the horse a sign to his wife that he'll be back and she is playing her part or might not actually know. Dawn was either returned to Starfall or in the Crypts of Winterfell which is why Mance(Arthur) wants to get in, Ashara is Septa Lemore. Also the Varys/Illyrio plot with Young Griff/Jon Connington was done before with Danny and her brother until I think he said or did something that made them worry or question.

3:00 House Velaryon also has the white hair and purple eyes, but they are also Valyrian descent with the Targaryens. So there are other houses in the seven kingdoms with the trait. The one Baratheon would have had it if it wasn’t for them always having black hair due to the heavy intermarriage between the families.

I hope your wrong because I want to see Robert’s Rebellion and Arthur Dane in his full glory with Dawn

Video is amazing but House Dayne's seat named Starfall. Skyfall belongs to House Fowler.

I find it a reach to say Ned would have fought Arthur with Ice, its far more ceremonial than that. To my knowledge the books never mention him using it in battle, or any Stark for that matter

Sir Arthur Dayne, Imagine keeping a dying girl from her brother and thinking yourself a knight at all.

Well he did and made himself a legend of wielding and using two sword style ⚔️ and that's a accomplishment very few could ever do

bruh Gerold sounds like that edgy cousin in the corner of the room during family gatherings.

It about time

I wonder if anyone in the ASOIAF universe ever tried fashioning a sword out of the mysterious oily black stone that dots the world from Westeros to YiTi. I bet a sword made out of that stuff would be fierce.

You need to tell the story about how I became the Sword of Mid-Afternoon.

I remember I heard some where that HBO is interested in making 5-6 spinoff of THRONES universes 🧐🙄

Arthur THE GOAT

Arthur Dayne is like the Chuck Norris of ASOIAF. Wildfire was invented after Ser Arthur sneezed as a baby.

I just watched an interview with Martin where he was talking about the sword Dawn being the sword he would want and he specifically mentioned it being superior to valerian steel.

What makes Ser Arthur Dayne so great is that we only get a serving. There's something's that need to be left alone to maintain its impact/power. The Sword of The Morning is one of them.

You forget about house velaryean or however you spell it they sometimes have the silver hair and purple eyes you said only house Dayne and house targaryean have those traits

I have always felt like if Dawn is the sword of the morning then it must have a brother/sister blade called Dusk sword of the evening which may have been lost over time. I would theorize that if the brother/sister soulblades were combined that none could match them.

7:00 So I don’t know who was the narrator in this particular story or how “credible” they are, but does this book somewhat confirm Prince Daemon is a better warrior (or at least swordsman when wielding blackfyre) than Aemon?

Legend has it that Lyanna stark blew sir author off at the tower of joy.

I'm really intrigued by the Tower of Joy. It's been a while since I read them but as far as I recall we can only actually be certain of 3 things (assuming we can believe Ned's memories are reliable) from the books. 1. Reed stopped Dayne from Killing Ned. 2. Reed and Ned alone survived. 3. Ned took Dawn back to Starfall. So, did Reed stop Dayne by killing him or by some non lethal way? If he did kill him was it like in the show, was it more magical or did he stop him with words, not violence? If so did Dayne then sacrifice himself to protect the fiction or is he still alive? If so where is he? North of the Wall?, Essos?, Westeros under an assumed name? Why is Ned held in such high esteem by the Daynes? He could've waited till the war was over before returning Dawn. Personally, I think Reed convinced/persuaded Dayne, who then died in an act of selfless chivalry to make the fiction plausible. Possibly some magicality/childrenoftheforest malarky was involved as 2 guys cant demolish a stone tower on their own (otherwise there would have been no historical sieges) and we're told that Reed can do strange things with mud and water. Ned and Reed then conspired with House Dayne and Ashara went to The Neck with Reed. Maybe GRRM will address some of this and have Reed turn up and give us some closure, maybe he's gonna leave us in the dark to endlessly speculate.

Man I feel stupid, this whole time I thought it was sword of the “mourning”

Who did Ser Arthur Dayne defeat? The Smiling Knight is an outlaw robber knight. Arthur Dayne won a few tournaments but no great feats in battle.

Arthur Dayne had the makings of a varsity athlete.

God I would love to see an adaptation of this in a Game of Thrones Cinematic and the interactions between Rhaegar and Arthur Dayne and his thoughts while Rhaegar Sings songs.

The actor Luke Roberts duel wielding here portrayed woods rodgers in Black sails

I would like to see the story of sir Arthur Dane and how he became the sort of the morning I'm sure it would be a wonderful show better than season 8

It’s funny I’ve played as a member in house dayne on ck2.. I definitely became sword of the morning 😂😂

Any sword fighting game I play I use Arthur Dayne to name my character

I don't think Ned was wielding Ice at ToJ, it's said several times that Ice was massive, to big to wield in combat and more of a ceremonial piece.

Arthur with his Excalibur

Agree totally with you dual wielding part.it was that quote from Jaime that made the showrunners go for it.to show just how skilled he was as an ambidexter

I don’t think you mentioned it in the video but apologies if I missed it but the title of the sword of the morning and dawn isn’t inherited like other swords you can only wield it if you are seen as worthy

1:52 Ice was a ceremonial and executioner sword. He didn't use it in combat

Does anyone know the whose voice is in the film? It sounds so familiar but can't remember

WC!!!

As a child he liked to swing swords in the morning.

Bro where have you been?!?!? Lol

Would have been nice if he ditched the second sword to fight Ned just to prove he didn't need it 1vs 1..and put it in the ground like he did at the beginning..and then perhaps had the other guy used it to stab him since he thought they were all dead anyway so he wouldn't have expected it

So a question for every one please help me Who is better him or Syrio Forel? Thank you.

Would you be interested making a video about the city watch?
