King Maekar Targaryen was never meant to be king, but after the death of his brother, Baelor Breakspear at the tounrey of Ashford and his second brother King Aerys i not having an heir of his own, the crown fell to Maekar. Maekar was a hard man and a solider though and though fighting during the first Blackfyre Rebellion, some questioned if he had the skill needed to be a king. There is much debate what the legacy of King Maekar was, but for many it is his parenting style particular him allowing his youngest son, the future King Aegon the Unlikly to Westeros with a hedge knight as a child. In this video we take a look at the complete reign of King Maekar and ask what is his legacy.

So if you want to learn the story before we see HBO's take on it then this will be a very long-running series.

Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen was trapped on Dragonstone by her brother King Aegon ii with no way to escape her fate. What was to come was the final showdown between the two main players of the dance of the dragons and bring the war into its final phase. The House of the dragon was crumbling and the events that was about to follow would only cause more damage to both sides of the war.

So it's about two week later than planned but another long video covering the reign of King Maekar. This was a nightmare to render, kept getting stuck at 60% for some reason but figured it out in the end. I've added in a few minutes of content that was cut from the original series towards the end that i cut from a few episodes of the main serise, felt like it added good context.

I’m so glad he was further explored in the Dunk and Egg books. He was a skilled warrior and a loyal defender of his family. His main shortcoming seems to be that he was a hard man who neglected his children because of his own shortcomings emotionally, but he wasn’t heartless. After the disaster of the Ashford tourney he realized he had to take his family in order. He exiled Aerion to Essos for a few years, did his best by Egg by honoring his request to squire with Duncan, and seems to have even tried to help Daeron by arranging a marriage and mentoring him more directly-although it was already too late if it was possible to help a man so tormented by visions at all. When he took the crown he kept a firm hold on the realm after all the unrest and discontent under his brother’s reign.

He didn't neglect his kids he spoiled them hense why areion was such a little shit because he was a spoiled prince who got what he wanted thats why he let aegon be dunk's squire to be humble and good .

You know, if they do Fire&Blood part 2 or a show about the Blackfire rebellions Maekar would be just as liked as Stannis at least in my opinion.

Maekar is one of my favorite underrated Targaryens since his personality reminds me of King Stannis. I really wish he didnt kill Baelor Breakspear but he's still pretty cool. His crown is also one of my favorites, that i would've liked to see Jon Snow wear if he became king.

@tylerchapman9234 Ай бұрын

It's alleged that Bloodraven warged into Maekar. Thats why Maekar doesn't remember giving the killing blow to Baelor.

Yet they all screwed up one way or another. So Danaerys who really doesn't know anything, plagued by "dragon dreams" she doesn't fully understand, along with Quaith invading her dreams as well, is the only one left to unite Ice and Fire before she goes nuclear mad.

When I looked up at 11:37, and saw the picture of Daeron I didn't think Daeron, I thought "Why is he using a picture of John Constantine?". After looking at it for a second I realized that it WAS a picture of Daeron, but it DOES look EXACTLY like John Constantine. Even his cloak looks just like Constantine's trademark Trenchcoat...it's uncanny. FWIW.

Am I wrong in thinking that Aegon the Conqueror's "Dream" as told in HOTD but not in any book thus far published, went completely skew whiff? It would seem that his idea of just giving this secret to only the next presumed person in the line of succession didn't work at all well as the tree branched far wider than he could have ever imagined and his "dreams" didn't reveal that or that the Maesters would actively suppress "magic". It is indeed a very tangled web GRRM has weaved, so tangled he is still trying to push his way through those webs.

Thanks for letting me know, i fixed it best i can in the youtube editor. It's really odd as on the project timeline all looks okay so i guess it was maybe a error in the rendering process which would not surprise me.
