The Battle Of The Gullet is one of the first major battles in the Targaryen civil war known as the Dance Of The Dragons. But also one of the most bloody sea battles in the whole of the history of westeros. Driftmark was sacked, the Velaryon fleet badly damaged and a key member of the black was dead.
The Dance Of The Dragons will be the focus of the plot of the new HBO spin-off House Of The Dragon coming in 2022. 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. Game Of Thrones / House of the dragon are HBO shows based on George R R Martin's A Song Of Ice And Fire series. The information in this video comes from the books a world of ice and fire as well as fire and blood.

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.

Meanwhile, before the Battle of the Gullet; Vermithor: "Oh boy, here we go again. Alright kids, listen up, back in my day, Jaehaerys and I lit the Dornish fleet up like a bunch of candles. Ain't that right, Caraxes?" Caraxes: "Hell yeah old man, those were the days! Me, you and... and Vhagar" Vermithor: "Hey wait a minute, where is ol' Vhagar?" Caraxes: "Well um... about that.."

Yeah... tbh I understand the hate Rhaenyra is getting but to me she’s a tragic character despite what other might think of her, like with every child she lost she became more protective and paranoid and she started seeing enemies everywhere and to me i think at the end the fight was no longer for the throne but for her children because they were dying one after another. Starting with he father and her daughter to immediately lose Luke, and jace after him and it goes on and on. No matter what i feel about her, i think she’s a tragic character.

Ironically, the Battle of the Gullet was perhaps' the Green's, Otto's in particular, biggest victory in the entire war. The Velaryon fleet was decimated and House Velaryon lost its wealth, The Blacks lost two dragons, and Rhaenyra lost two sons including her heir. Jace's death was absolutely devastating for the Blacks, stripping them of a solid line of succession. Not to mention Jace was a good leader and talented diplomat. His death broke Rhaenyra and sent her plummeting into her long downfall and ultimate defeat. Not to mention that this was the beginning of the end of The Triarchy, something not even Daemon and Corlys could accomplish. And all this while the Greens didn't put a single Westerosi soldier or dragon into the field.

@nostaligctraveler3736 Жыл бұрын

Well yeah but the blacks won in some other aspects: they destroyed so much of the triarchy fleet that they could no longer play a part in the war (if they could things would have gone incredibly worse) and that massive destruction provoqued the beggining of the end for the triarchy. Also the triarchy couldnt break the blocking of the gullet, so the blacks kept absolute control of it wich was obviously bad for the greens, and all this without loosing so many men. Id say this battle is the closest thing to a tie Ive ever seen

It is really weird that the betrayers fought so bravely for the blacks before switching sides. That makes it seem like that wasn't always the plan from the start. They must have either been persuaded later on or they were always keeping an eye on which way the winds were blowing and were keeping their options open

Honestly, don't take this as arrogance- I thought it was quite obvious: He was looking for his Brother. Jace had done everything to protect is Brother, from the treaty with Jeyne Arryn to sending Aegon and Viserys off and away. He already lost one and was not going to risk losing another. He flew too low in a desperate attempt to find Viserys. This of course, cost him his life tragically.

@DavionLoyalist Жыл бұрын

I have a feeling that this battle and Rook’s Rest will be merged into one for HOTD, also that the focus of season 2 will largely be on Jaehaerys. Aegon III is still too young in the show to escape on his own so they’ll probably have someone else rescue him in the prelude to the battle. My guess is that it could be Baela if here Daemon decides to send her with the two young Princes to Pentos.

When you think it about it there deaths are totally blunders on Rhaenyra's part: Jace should've joined the battle after the other Dragons softened up the fleet. Lucerys shows here naïveté to believe the Baratheons would just join her without a proposal or to let a young dragon go negotiate when even Tessarion the youngest green dragon would slaughter it. The Joffrey her inaction and insanity leads to him trying to mount Syrax and his then "tumble"

@@CristianMartinez-yc6prbased on what we know about the Battle of the Gullet, I don't think it would make a big difference what time of the battle Jaecaerys joined. The other 4 dragons had already joined, and the 5 of them were well underway burning the Triarchy fleet. Jace and Vermax went down because they flew too low, if they hadn't then all 5 dragons and riders would have carried the day unscathed.
