The Red Comet burned brightly and briefly, bringing war and woe and prophecy. The life and reign of King Jaehaerys II is similarly described - short but meaningful. The last Blackfyre, the Ghost of High Heart, the Prince that was Promised. Not to mention the event that put him on the throne: Summerhall. This is the father of the Mad King, the grandfather of Daenerys and the man who gave Barristan his white cloak.Intro - (0:02:04)First Description - (0:03:43)Early Life - (0:07:58)Marriage, Prophecy, & Summerhall - (0:54:52)Reign - (1:50:56)Death - (2:11:54)Legacy - (2:15:35)HoW Audience Survey - bit.ly/howsurveyBonus Eps & More - patreon.com/historyofwesterosShirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.comwww.historyofwesteros.comIntro/Maps - klaradox.deFacebook Group - bit.ly/howfbDiscord - bit.ly/howdiscordNina - goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/
Here's your next episode!You may notice I left in a number of oopsies and bloopers. They were kinda funny so they stayed in.This week we are looking at a few more pages of Policy, Progeny and Pain from Fire and Blood (please do let us know if you are finding our fine tooth combing of this chapter tedious in any way!).Trigger warning: this is a sad episode. It's a funny chapter too, but there is the death of a child and not everyone is in the mood for that.We talk dragons and lore, Targaryens and illness, and Beth says "serving swamp" which may be the best thing anyone has ever said at any time ever.There's also a new cast of characters as Jaehaerys has to fill all the holes left in his court made by The Naughty Shivers.In addition we have a bit of food chat in the middle thanks to a great question we got from Sanrixian. Stef gets waaaay over excited about it.Enjoy! And get in touch about anything we talk about. BYYYEEEE!
Hello to you! Here is the next episode of Kissed By Fire! It's been a while, crocodile, but we're back with more content for your beautiful listening ears. This episode is depressing. Sorry. No other way to put that. It's got disease, doom, gloom and pretty gross death stuff. It ain't pretty. But we still manage to make (inappropriate?) jokes about it!This episode is also all about power, who believes they have it and how they really, really don't.Oh, and Stef nearly breaks up with Beth because of her terrible opinions again. When will Beth learn?!Also, sorry about Stef's audio. Their mic was being an absolute butthead but in the name of getting this out faster there wasn't much to be done. Please forgive us!As always, enjoy! Don't forget to get in touch with your comments or leave a nice review!
New Chapter Alert!We thought the last one was long... Well, this new one is in a whole new realm of chapter girth. We are taking 'The Long Reign, Jaehaerys and Alysanne: Policy, Progeny and Pain' little bit by little bit so we can cover it all in the depth we enjoy, without ruining ours and everyone's lives by making a 48 hour episode you have to listen to.In this instalment we head off and away from Kings Landing, following in the steps of curious adventurers. We leave behind Targaryens and dragons swapping them for the Hightowers and a certain Alys Westhill. But don't worry this episode is teeming with monsters of all sorts including krakens, leviathans and mystery beasts.We've also got Biblical storms, Greek mythology, gene splicing, and a whole host of tropical diseases we are sure GRRM enjoyed naming.Get in touch with any questions or comments.We hope you enjoy!
Here it is!The next episode for your lovely ears. This is the moment we close the chapter, "Jaehaerys And Alysanne: Their Triumphs and Tragedies".We recorded this earlier in November and we were beset by several technical issues, including Stef's audio/internet totally failing for a good while. So apologies for the slow speed of getting this one out and for the fact Stef actually disappears for about 15 minutes at one point. Oops.But fear not! Because Beth was not alone! We had a guest. An absolute legend in the fandom, Lady Gwyn, from none other than Radio Westeros. She was there to help us close out this awesome section of the book.With her we talked Crumpets and Strumpets and the scariest castle in all of Westeros: The Nightfort. There was some Alyanne vs Rhaena chat and we wondered what really happened when some of the people... ummm.... dickered?This was a hard episode for Beth because this part is where Alysanne, who receives a very frosty welcome in the north, is undeniably amazing, seeing as she changes the fate of Westeros forever. We heart you Alysanne!Trigger warning: this episode contains mentions of rape and domestic violence.
Feast your ears around our latest episode!It's great to be back covering Fire And Blood after the summer off covering HOTD.We continue our read through of the chapter, "Jaehaerys And Alysanne: Their Triumphs And Tragedies".This time we see the final years of Rhaena (sorry Beth), babies are born, patriarchy lives on, Barth gets a new job and immediately has a rather threatening away-day in Braavos, AND Alysanne ventures north to spend time with House Manderly.Expect chat about Faceless Men, a Mrs Doubtfire impression, Stef's obsession with smells, a hilarious Patreon question and... dun dun dunnnnn! Beth slips on her tinfoil hat and is reluctant to give it up.As always, enjoy and leave a comment or get in touch to chat about the episode with us!patreon.com/user?u=80234533
And we're back. It's the episode we've been excited to bring to you since we recorded way back in May! Patreons already have it, and now you can listen to this super special episode featuring none other than one of the most amazing human beings in all of the universe, Sanrixian. She joins us to break down all things dragon into sexy detail. This episode is genuinely excellent and full of juice. We read a bit more about Rhaena and what she's been up to, and ALSO her lover and Alys Westhill and her crazy plans. Biggest news in the seven kingdoms is that Balerion has been sighted again. That's right. Aerea is back. And it ain't good. Grab your favourite comforting drink and food, wrap yourself up cosy, because this is going to get weird. GRRM's horror writing at its best, some might say. As a result of what happens we get super into Dragonlore and all kinds of stuff, some tin foil, some less so. It was before GRRM released the new stuff about dragons, so who knows if we were correct about anything!?Enjoy!

House Of The Dragon With Mary & Blake: A Podcast For House Of The Dragon
Spoiler note: This House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 3 review discusses “The Burning Mill” in full, including Daemon at Harrenhal, the Bracken and Blackwood feud, Rhaenyra and Alicent's sept meeting, the dragon eggs, and the ending. Mary & Blake are TV-first viewers and avoid future Fire & Blood spoilers. In our House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 3 review, we break down “The Burning Mill,” an episode that asks one brutal question: when a war has been building for generations, does anyone even know how to stop it anymore? This is the episode where House of the Dragon starts to feel more like classic Game of Thrones while also becoming its own thing. The opening Bracken and Blackwood sequence makes the war feel bigger than the royal family. Daemon's arrival at Harrenhal gives the show a haunted-house lane. And the Rhaenyra/Alicent sept scene gives Season 2 one of its strongest pieces of drama so far. Mary gave the episode 4.9 flames, while Blake gave it 4.72 flames. The big reason: the episode's craft, theme, and Rhaenyra/Alicent scene all work together to make the Dance of the Dragons feel inevitable. Below, you can listen to our full podcast breakdown, watch the video version, read the recap, and follow our related House of the Dragon Season 2 coverage. Listen To Our House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 3 Recap And Reaction Mary & Blake discuss House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 3, “The Burning Mill,” including why the show is starting to feel more like Game of Thrones, how it is setting itself apart, Daemon's weird Harrenhal story, the dragon egg Easter egg, and why the Rhaenyra and Alicent scene may be one of the best in the entire Game of Thrones universe. Subscribe To Get New House Of The Dragon Episodes APPLE PODCASTS YOUTUBE SPOTIFY House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 3 Recap: What Happens In “The Burning Mill”? “The Burning Mill” opens away from the main royal players, with young men from House Bracken and House Blackwood arguing over land, loyalty, and old hatred. One side calls Rhaenyra the rightful queen. The other backs Aegon. The scene begins as a local feud, then smash-cuts to the aftermath: bodies everywhere and the mill burning. That opening tells us exactly what the episode is about. The war is no longer just something Rhaenyra, Alicent, Daemon, Aegon, or Otto can control from a council table. The realm is already choosing sides, and smaller conflicts are becoming part of the larger Dance of the Dragons. At Dragonstone, Rhaenyra continues trying to prevent the war from becoming total destruction. Rhaenys urges caution and reminds the Black council that calm rulers can be valuable rulers. Rhaenyra also sends Rhaena away with her youngest children, young dragons, and dragon eggs, making Rhaena responsible for the family's future if everything collapses. Daemon arrives at Harrenhal expecting a fight and instead finds a wet, ruined, deeply strange castle that seems happy to accept him. He meets Simon Strong, sees the decay of the place, and begins experiencing visions connected to his past, including young Rhaenyra. On the Green side, Aegon wants to go to war himself, Criston Cole leads a military movement, Larys continues working his way into influence, and Aemond is publicly humiliated by Aegon in a brothel. The episode ends with Rhaenyra sneaking into King's Landing to meet Alicent in the sept, where both women finally understand the mistake around Viserys' final words — and why that truth may no longer matter. House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 3 Review “The Burning Mill” is one of the strongest episodes of Season 2 because it has a clear thematic spine: no one can agree where the war began, and no one can stop it once the blood starts moving. The Bracken and Blackwood opening makes that idea concrete. We do not need to watch the whole battle. We only need to see the argument, the cut, and the bodies. The details of who threw the first blow matter less than the result. This is how wars become bigger than their causes. That same idea carries into the Rhaenyra and Alicent scene. Both women are trying, in their own way, to name the original wound. Was it Viserys? Was it the succession? Was it Alicent misunderstanding his final words? Was it Otto's long game? Was it Daemon? Was it Aemond and Luke? The answer keeps shifting because the war has too many beginnings. That is why the episode lands: it is about how sin begets sin, and how conflict becomes self-sustaining. Once that happens, even the people with the most personal reason to stop it may not be able to reach the brakes. The weakest material is still the new-character setup. Ulf, Alyn, and Addam are clearly being positioned for future importance, but the scenes can feel like the show tapping the glass and saying, “Remember these people.” That may pay off later, but right now it slows the hour down. The best material is everything with Daemon at Harrenhal and everything between Rhaenyra and Alicent. Those sections make the episode feel specific, strange, and dramatically alive. Why Is The Episode Called “The Burning Mill”? The title “The Burning Mill” refers to the Battle of the Burning Mill between House Bracken and House Blackwood. On the surface, it is a local fight in the Riverlands. Structurally, it is the episode's warning sign. The burning mill shows what happens when old grudges attach themselves to new political claims. The Brackens and Blackwoods do not need Rhaenyra and Aegon to invent conflict for them. They already have history, pride, resentment, and blood between them. The larger war simply gives that hatred a new banner. That is why the title works. The mill is not just a battlefield. It is a symbol of the realm catching fire in places the royal family cannot control. The Brackens And Blackwoods Show How Wars Really Start The opening scene is one of the smartest pieces of craft in the episode. We begin with a few young men arguing in a field. Then the edit jumps to death, smoke, and scale. The missing middle is the point. That cut says: this is how fast pride becomes violence. This is how fast a local argument becomes a battlefield. This is how fast people who barely understand the full political situation end up dying for it. It also makes the Dance of the Dragons feel more like Game of Thrones. The war is not only about the people with crowns. It is about houses, regions, ancient grudges, and small decisions that become impossible to undo. Daemon At Harrenhal Explained Daemon's Harrenhal story gives “The Burning Mill” its weirdest and most visually distinctive material. He arrives in the rain, on dragonback, expecting resistance. Instead, Harrenhal practically shrugs and says, “Fine. You have it.” That is the perfect punishment for Daemon. He wants a fight because a fight would let him feel powerful. He wants to take something because taking something gives him identity. But Harrenhal does not give him the clean conflict he wants. It gives him rot, silence, ghosts, and venison. The episode leans into haunted-house energy. Harrenhal is enormous, wet, ruined, and full of old history. Daemon sees young Rhaenyra, played again by Milly Alcock, sewing Jaehaerys' head back on. He meets Alys Rivers, who tells him he will die there. The castle feels less like a military prize and more like a psychological trap. That works because Daemon's real opponent is not Simon Strong or the Riverlands. It is himself. Harrenhal starts forcing him to confront ambition, guilt, resentment, and the part of him that still cannot accept standing beside a queen instead of above her. The Dragon Eggs And Rhaena's Future One of the biggest Easter eggs in the episode comes when Rhaenyra sends Rhaena away with her youngest children, young dragons, and dragon eggs. The podcast discusses the apparent connection between those eggs and the future of Daenerys Targaryen's dragons, which gives the scene a larger franchise weight. But the scene also matters for Rhaena. At first, being sent away feels like rejection. She does not have a dragon. She wants to be useful. She wants to belong in the fight. Instead, Rhaenyra makes her a protector of the future. That changes the meaning of the assignment. Rhaena is not being dismissed. She is being trusted with children, dragons, eggs, and the continuation of the family line. In a season obsessed with inheritance, that is not a small job. Aegon, Aemond, And The Brothel Humiliation The Green side of the episode keeps showing how unstable Aegon's rule is. Aegon wants to put on Aegon the Conqueror's armor and ride to war. Larys talks him out of it, not because Larys is noble, but because separating Aegon from Criston Cole gives Larys more influence. Then Aegon humiliates Aemond in the brothel. That scene is ugly because Aemond is already carrying shame, rage, and isolation. He is the quiet one, the dangerous one, the one with Vhagar. Aegon may think he is joking, but the episode makes it feel like another small wound that could eventually become a much larger disaster. That is one of the Green council's biggest problems: everyone is playing a short-term game around a family full of long-term emotional damage. Rhaenyra And Alicent's Sept Scene Is The Episode's Best Scene The Rhaenyra and Alicent scene in the sept is the reason this episode jumps to another level. Practically, yes, there are questions. How did Rhaenyra get there so easily? How did the disguise work? How did she move through King's Landing without being caught? But dramatically, the scene works so well that the logistics become secondary. Rhaenyra and Alicent needed one final private conversation before the war became unstoppable. The show needed them face to face, in a sacred space, surrounded by candles, history, and the memory of who they used to be. The scene is great because both women are right and both women are trapped. Rhaenyra is right that Viserys named her heir. Alicent is right that the machinery around Aegon can no longer simply be wished away. Then comes the devastating realization: Alicent misunderstood Viserys' final words. For one second, everything becomes clear. Alicent understands the mistake. Rhaenyra sees it too. But clarity does not create peace. It only makes the tragedy sharper. That is why this scene may be one of the best in the Game of Thrones universe. The writing, blocking, lighting, silence, performances, and subtext all come together. The scene lets us want peace while knowing peace is already gone. House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 3 Ending Explained The ending of “The Burning Mill” matters because Rhaenyra and Alicent finally identify the misunderstanding at the heart of Alicent's claim — and it still does not stop the war. Rhaenyra comes to King's Landing hoping there may be a way to avoid total destruction. Alicent begins from certainty, then realizes that Viserys was not naming Aegon as heir. He was speaking about Aegon the Conqueror and the prophecy. Alicent's face changes because she knows, in that moment, that her moral foundation has cracked. But Alicent cannot undo what has happened. Otto is gone from court. Aegon sits the throne. Criston Cole is on the march. Aemond is dangerous. Daemon is at Harrenhal. The Brackens and Blackwoods are already killing each other. The war is no longer waiting for permission. That is the tragedy of the ending. The truth arrives too late to save anyone. What “The Burning Mill” Sets Up Next Episode 3 sets up the point where private grief becomes public war and public war becomes impossible to contain. Rhaenyra leaves the sept with less guilt and more certainty about her claim. Alicent knows she misunderstood Viserys, but she chooses survival and family over confession. Daemon is trapped in Harrenhal's psychological and supernatural weirdness. Aemond is humiliated by Aegon, which may make him even more dangerous. Criston Cole continues moving the Greens toward open conflict. Rhaena carries children, young dragons, and eggs toward the future. The Riverlands are already burning through old grudges and new loyalties.

House Of The Dragon With Mary & Blake: A Podcast For House Of The Dragon
Spoiler note: This House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 2 review discusses “Rhaenyra The Cruel” in full, including the aftermath of Blood and Cheese, the funeral procession, Criston Cole's promotion, Daemon and Rhaenyra's fight, and the Erryk and Arryk tragedy. Mary & Blake are TV-first viewers and avoid future Fire & Blood spoilers. In our House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 2 review, we break down “Rhaenyra The Cruel,” an episode about grief becoming propaganda, guilt becoming strategy, and terrible men failing upward at exactly the wrong time. The episode is almost entirely a reaction to the horror of Blood and Cheese. Jaehaerys is dead. Rhaenyra is blamed. Aegon wants revenge. Otto tries to use the tragedy politically. Alicent keeps making choices that reveal how little emotional control she has left. And Criston Cole, somehow, becomes even worse and more important. Mary gave the episode 4.7 flames, while Blake gave it 4.6 flames. Both ratings keep the episode high, but the conversation turns on whether the hour successfully converts grief into momentum or slows itself down with side characters and setup. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} Below, you can listen to our full podcast breakdown, watch the video version, read the recap, and follow our related House of the Dragon Season 2 coverage. Listen To Our House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 2 Recap And Reaction Mary & Blake discuss House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 2, “Rhaenyra The Cruel,” including why Ser Criston Cole is the absolute worst, why that also makes him dramatically useful, the visual grammar of the episode, Daemon's break from Rhaenyra, Aegon's grief, and the tragedy of Erryk and Arryk. Subscribe To Get New House Of The Dragon Episodes APPLE PODCASTS YOUTUBE SPOTIFY House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 2 Recap: What Happens In “Rhaenyra The Cruel”? “Rhaenyra The Cruel” picks up almost immediately after the murder of Prince Jaehaerys. The Red Keep locks down, bloody sheets are carried away, the royal household panics, and the Greens begin shaping the story before the full truth can matter. Rhaenyra is blamed for the murder, even though the episode makes clear that she did not order the death of a child. Otto understands that distinction, but he also knows the accusation is politically useful. The funeral procession turns Jaehaerys into a public symbol, and the phrase “Rhaenyra the Cruel” becomes a weapon. Aegon is devastated and furious. He orders the ratcatchers hanged after Blood is found, turning his grief into an act of collective punishment. Otto sees the political cost immediately, but Aegon is not thinking like a careful ruler. He is thinking like a father whose child has been murdered. On Dragonstone, Rhaenyra confronts Daemon over what he set in motion. Their marriage, trust, and political partnership all fracture as she recognizes that Daemon's hunger for action has damaged her claim and made the war uglier. Meanwhile, Criston Cole projects his guilt onto Ser Arryk and sends him to Dragonstone disguised as his twin brother, Ser Erryk. The mission ends with the brothers killing each other in Rhaenyra's chamber, turning the civil war into literal twin-against-twin tragedy. House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 2 Review “Rhaenyra The Cruel” is a grief episode, but it is also a propaganda episode. The smartest move the hour makes is showing how quickly a private horror becomes a public story. Jaehaerys' murder is already awful. Otto's instinct is to make it useful. That is where the episode finds its engine. The Greens do not need the full truth to win the public narrative. They need an image, a procession, a dead child, a grieving mother, and a name that can attach the crime to Rhaenyra. The title of the episode is not just a description. It is political branding. The episode also keeps underlining the difference between grief and care. Rhaenyra hugs her children. Jace and Baela get one of the episode's few tender moments. Aegon sobs alone. Helaena is managed more than comforted. Alicent sees pain and keeps turning inward. That contrast is why Mary fully switches to Team Black in this episode. Blake's strongest critique is that the episode slows down whenever it moves to Hugh, Addam, and Alyn. Those characters clearly matter later, but in this hour, their scenes can feel like the show is tapping the audience on the shoulder and saying, “Pay attention to these people,” before the emotional story is ready for them. Still, the craft is strong. Ramin Djawadi's score stands out early as the castle absorbs the shock of the murder, and the direction gives the episode a clear visual identity: funeral imagery, dust settling, slow-motion grief, and the silent brutality of the twin fight. Why Is The Episode Called “Rhaenyra The Cruel”? The title “Rhaenyra The Cruel” refers to the story the Greens want the realm to believe after Blood and Cheese. Rhaenyra did not personally order Jaehaerys' murder, but that almost does not matter once Otto sees how the event can be used. The power of the title is that it turns Rhaenyra's political claim into a moral accusation. If the realm believes she is cruel, then Aegon is no longer simply a rival claimant. He becomes a grieving father defending the kingdom from a monstrous queen. That is the episode's sharpest idea: in war, truth matters less than the story that travels fastest. Rhaenyra may know she did not do it. Otto may know she did not do it. But the dead child, the public funeral, and the phrase “Rhaenyra the Cruel” are enough to reshape the board. Ser Criston Cole Is The Worst — And That Is Why He Works The clearest Mary & Blake take from this episode is simple: Ser Criston Cole is the worst. He should have been protecting the royal family when Blood and Cheese entered the Red Keep. Instead, he was with Alicent. Then he redirects his guilt outward, attacks Arryk's honor, and sends him on a mission that is basically a death sentence. That is why Criston is so frustrating and so dramatically useful. He began the series looking like a classic knightly hero, but every season has pulled more rot out of him. His obsession with purity, honor, and loyalty keeps collapsing under his own hypocrisy. His promotion to Hand of the King is terrifying because he is not a cool strategist. He is volatile, ashamed, self-righteous, and now closer to power. Otto is manipulative, but he understands statecraft. Criston understands resentment. That makes him dangerous in a different way. Aegon's Grief Changes The Green Council Episode 2 does something important with Aegon: it makes him pathetic, dangerous, and human at the same time. He is not Joffrey. He is not a brilliant ruler. He is an overwhelmed young king who was unloved by his father, poorly prepared for power, and now shattered by the murder of his son. That does not excuse what he does to the ratcatchers. It does explain why he does it. Aegon does not process Jaehaerys' death as a political event. He processes it as a wound, then makes the realm absorb that wound with him. Otto's confrontation with Aegon is one of the most important scenes of the episode because it reveals the limits of the old Hightower strategy. Otto wants control, optics, and patience. Aegon wants revenge and recognition. Once Aegon removes Otto and elevates Criston Cole, the Greens become much less stable. Alicent, Helaena, And The Failure To Comfort Alicent's material in this episode is uncomfortable because she can recognize grief without knowing how to meet it. She understands that the funeral must happen. She understands that appearances matter. She understands that Aegon is out of control. But when her children need actual comfort, she cannot quite give it. That is clearest with Aegon. Alicent finds him sobbing and walks away. Mary's read is that Alicent may simply not know how to mother in that moment. She was not cared for well, she has not cared for her own children well, and she retreats into her own needs rather than sit with his pain. That failure does not make Alicent boring. It makes her tragic and frustrating. She is trapped inside the consequences of the very system she helped protect, and she keeps trying to wash guilt off herself as if guilt works that way. Daemon And Rhaenyra Finally Break Open The confrontation between Daemon and Rhaenyra is the Team Black center of the episode. Rhaenyra knows what Daemon has done. She knows that Blood and Cheese has damaged her claim, handed the Greens a weapon, and revealed something ugly about the man she married. The fight works because it is not only about Jaehaerys. It is about years of resentment, trust, inheritance, and Daemon's belief that Viserys chose Rhaenyra partly to deny him. Rhaenyra calls out the part of Daemon that still sees her crown as an insult to him. That is why Daemon leaving for Harrenhal matters. It is not just a military move. It is a marital and political fracture. Rhaenyra needs Daemon's dragon, his experience, and his violence. But she also sees that his violence may be one of the greatest threats to her legitimacy. Erryk And Arryk Explained: Brother Against Brother The Erryk and Arryk fight turns the civil war into its most literal form: two brothers, identical in armor and face, killing each other because the realm has split around them. Criston sends Arryk to Dragonstone because he needs to redirect blame, guilt, and attention away from himself. The plan is cruel because it weaponizes the twins' identity. If Arryk can pass as Erryk, he might reach Rhaenyra. If he fails, the confusion itself still creates chaos. The fight is directed to make the audience feel that confusion. Mary and Blake both spend time wrestling with who is who, who lands the fatal blow, and who falls on his sword afterward. That confusion is the point. The war has made even brotherhood unreadable. The scene works best because it is not overscored. The fight, the breathing, the panic, and Rhaenyra's vulnerability carry the moment. We may not know the twins deeply enough for the full emotional devastation to land, but the mechanics of the scene are strong. House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 2 Ending Explained The ending of “Rhaenyra The Cruel” matters because it leaves both sides more unstable than they were at the start. Rhaenyra survives the assassination attempt, but the attack proves Dragonstone is not emotionally or physically safe. Team Black is wounded by Daemon's choices and by the cost of being blamed for Blood and Cheese. Team Green is also fractured. Aegon is grieving and furious. Otto has lost influence. Criston Cole has risen into a job he may be emotionally unfit to hold. Alicent remains trapped between guilt, desire, motherhood, and political survival. The biggest consequence is that the war has become harder to stop. Blood and Cheese created the public story. Aegon's reaction damaged the Greens' moral position. Criston's mission killed both twins. Every attempt to regain control creates another wound. What “Rhaenyra The Cruel” Sets Up Next Episode 2 sets up a season where the war spreads because the people in power keep mistaking reaction for leadership. Rhaenyra must repair the damage Blood and Cheese did to her image and her marriage. Daemon heads toward Harrenhal after a major break with Rhaenyra. Aegon becomes more dangerous because his grief is now tied to his authority. Criston Cole becomes Hand of the King, giving his shame and anger more institutional power. Alicent keeps losing moral and emotional control over the family she helped elevate. Mysaria may become more important after recognizing the danger around the twins. Hugh, Alyn, and Addam are clearly being seeded for larger roles, even if their scenes slow this episode down.

House Of The Dragon With Mary & Blake: A Podcast For House Of The Dragon
Spoiler note: This House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 1 review discusses “A Son For A Son” in full, including the ending, Blood and Cheese, and the major fallout from Lucerys' death. Mary & Blake are TV-first viewers and avoid future Fire & Blood spoilers. In our House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 1 review, we break down “A Son For A Son,” a premiere that turns grief into revenge and pushes both sides of the Targaryen civil war closer to disaster. The episode works best when it lets the emotional consequences breathe: Rhaenyra searching for proof of Luke's death, Jace breaking down in front of his mother, Alicent trying to scrub away guilt, and Aegon briefly looking like a king who wants to be loved before the final horror changes everything. But “A Son For A Son” also has a tension problem. It wants to pick up immediately after the Season 1 finale while also re-teaching the audience the board, the players, the alliances, and the stakes. That makes the premiere both thrilling and, at times, heavily expository. Below, you can listen to our full podcast breakdown, watch the video version, read the recap, and follow the related House of the Dragon Season 2 coverage. Listen To Our House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 1 Recap And Reaction Mary & Blake discuss House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 1, “A Son For A Son,” including Winterfell, Blood and Cheese, Rhaenyra's grief, Daemon's revenge, Alicent and Criston Cole, Aegon as king, and why the show wants to have its cake and eat it too. Subscribe To Get New House Of The Dragon Episodes APPLE PODCASTS YOUTUBE SPOTIFY House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 1 Recap: What Happens In “A Son For A Son”? “A Son For A Son” begins in the North, where Jacaerys Velaryon meets Cregan Stark at Winterfell and secures support for Rhaenyra's cause. The opening immediately broadens the world beyond Dragonstone and King's Landing, bringing back the Stark atmosphere, the Wall, the northern accents, and the feeling that House of the Dragon is reconnecting to the larger Game of Thrones world. At Dragonstone, Rhaenyra is nearly silent as she searches for proof of Lucerys' death. When she finds the remains of Arrax and Luke's cloak, the grief finally has physical evidence. Her only line — that she wants Aemond Targaryen — becomes the emotional engine for the episode. Daemon hears that desire and turns it into action. He hires Blood and Cheese to infiltrate the Red Keep and kill Aemond. But the plan goes wrong. Unable to find Aemond, Blood and Cheese force Helaena to identify which child is her son. They murder Prince Jaehaerys while Helaena escapes with her daughter. Meanwhile, the Greens try to manage the political fallout of Luke's death and the growing pressure of war. Aegon sits the Iron Throne, wants to appear generous to the smallfolk, and brings his young son into court. Alicent tries to maintain control while hiding her relationship with Criston Cole. Larys Strong continues replacing staff and tightening his grip on the Red Keep. By the end, the war has crossed another moral line. House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 1 Review As a premiere, “A Son For A Son” has a difficult job. It needs to honor the momentum of the Season 1 finale, reintroduce a large cast, clarify the political map, and deliver the horrifying Blood and Cheese event that pushes the season forward. That is why the episode can feel like two different things at once. On one hand, it has real momentum because it begins inside the emotional aftermath of Luke's death. On the other, it occasionally becomes a scorecard episode, pausing to remind us who is where, who is allied with whom, and which pieces are moving into place. Mary responded strongly to that premiere energy and gave the episode 4.8 flames, especially because it made her immediately hungry for the next episode. Blake landed at 4.6 flames, praising the return to Westeros and the expanded visual palette, while also feeling the weight of the exposition. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} The strongest material is the human material. Jace trying to report to Rhaenyra before collapsing into grief gives the episode its clearest emotional truth. Rhaenyra barely speaks, but Emma D'Arcy carries the episode through body language, stillness, and rage held just under the surface. The other major strength is the visual reset. Alan Taylor's direction makes the world feel larger and, frankly, more visible. The darkness is still there, but the episode uses firelight, moonlight, and texture in a way that feels closer to early Game of Thrones than some of the murkier visual choices from late Game of Thrones and Season 1 of House of the Dragon. Why Is The Episode Called “A Son For A Son”? The title “A Son For A Son” refers to Daemon's revenge logic after Lucerys' death. Rhaenyra wants Aemond, but Daemon turns that grief into a transaction: if Team Black lost a son, Team Green should lose a son too. That title matters because the episode is not really about justice. It is about substitution. Blood and Cheese do not get Aemond. They kill Jaehaerys instead. The horror of the ending is that revenge does not restore balance. It creates a new wound and gives the Greens their own dead child to weaponize. That is the moral rot of the Dance of the Dragons. Every side can explain why they feel wronged. Every side can justify the next escalation. And every escalation makes the war less controllable. Blood And Cheese Explained Blood and Cheese are the men Daemon uses to get inside the Red Keep and target Aemond. Blood is the brute force. Cheese is the ratcatcher who knows the hidden routes through the castle. Together, they turn Daemon's revenge mission into one of the ugliest acts of the season. The show makes one important choice: it does not clearly show Daemon giving the explicit order to kill a child if Aemond cannot be found. Instead, it lets the implication hang in the air. That choice protects Daemon from saying the worst version out loud, but it also leaves the audience to ask whether the show is pulling its punch. Our read is that Daemon knows exactly what kind of people he is hiring and what kind of violence he is inviting. He may not say the full thing on screen, but “A Son For A Son” wants us to feel that Blood and Cheese are not acting in a vacuum. They are the consequence of Daemon's appetite for revenge. The scene itself is horrifying because of how long it lasts and how much it withholds. We do not need to see the murder clearly to understand the brutality. The sound, Helaena's impossible choice, and the calmness of her escape make the moment deeply unsettling. Rhaenyra, Jace, And The Grief That Actually Lands Rhaenyra's grief is the emotional center of the premiere. She does not need speeches because the episode lets the search for Luke's remains do the work. When she finds what is left of Arrax and Luke, the loss stops being political and becomes physical. The Jace scene is the episode's best example of how House of the Dragon can cut through all the names, councils, claims, and alliances. Jace begins as prince and messenger, trying to report what he accomplished in the North. Then Rhaenyra embraces him, and the scene becomes mother and son. That is the kind of humanity the episode needs. The war is massive, but it only works if the audience can feel the private wound underneath the public claim. Winterfell Makes House Of The Dragon Feel Bigger Opening Season 2 at Winterfell is a smart move. The Starks, the Wall, the snow, and the familiar northern atmosphere immediately make the world feel wider. Season 1 was often centered on King's Landing, Dragonstone, and the Targaryen family's internal rot. Season 2 needs to show how that family disaster spreads into the realm. That is why the Winterfell opening works as more than nostalgia. It reminds the audience that this civil war is not just a family argument with dragons. It is a conflict that will pull in houses, regions, soldiers, old men, young heirs, and people who had no part in the original wound. It also gives the premiere the feeling of returning not only to House of the Dragon, but to Westeros itself. Alicent, Criston Cole, And The Collapse Of Moral Authority Alicent's story in “A Son For A Son” is built around guilt and control. She lights a candle for Luke, worries about where the war is heading, and seems to understand the emotional scope of what has happened better than almost anyone around her. At the same time, she is sleeping with Criston Cole, which makes both of them look even more compromised. Criston's hatred of Rhaenyra has always been wrapped in wounded honor, but his relationship with Alicent exposes the hypocrisy underneath that posture. The bath scene gives Alicent her Lady Macbeth moment. She scrubs at herself as if guilt can be removed by force. It cannot. The more Larys replaces her household, the more Aegon sits in power, and the more Criston fails upward, the less control Alicent actually has. Aegon, Jaehaerys, And The Cruel Setup Of The Ending One of the more interesting choices in the premiere is that Aegon is not presented as pure Joffrey. He is immature, vain, and unprepared, but he also wants to be liked. He wants to give the smallfolk what they ask for. He wants his son Jaehaerys near him. He wants to feel like a real king. That matters because the ending is designed to change him. Before Blood and Cheese, Aegon's interest in ruling might have faded or been managed by Otto and Alicent. After Jaehaerys is murdered, that possibility disappears. The grief that Rhaenyra carries at the start of the episode now belongs to Aegon too. The tragedy of “A Son For A Son” is that both sides now have a dead child. That does not create understanding. It creates fuel. House Of The Dragon Season 2 Episode 1 Ending Explained The ending of “A Son For A Son” matters because it transforms revenge into propaganda, grief into escalation, and a targeted assassination attempt into the murder of a child. Daemon wants Aemond. Blood and Cheese cannot find him. Helaena is forced to identify her son. Jaehaerys is killed. Helaena escapes to Alicent's room and finds Alicent with Criston Cole, turning the family's private hypocrisy into part of the same nightmare. The immediate consequence is simple: any chance of slowing the war becomes much harder. Rhaenyra's side can no longer claim clean moral high ground, even if the act was not publicly ordered by her. The Greens now have a child martyr, a grieving king, and a powerful story to tell the realm. That is why the ending works. It is not only shocking. It changes the political and emotional weather of the season. What “A Son For A Son” Sets Up Next The premiere sets up a season where the most dangerous choices may come from people who think they are acting out of love, justice, duty, or grief. Rhaenyra must deal with the consequences of revenge carried out in her name. Daemon has made the war uglier and may have damaged his relationship with Rhaenyra. Alicent is losing control of the family and system she helped put in power. Criston Cole is compromised, hypocritical, and increasingly dangerous. Aegon now has personal grief driving his rule. Aemond remains the original target, but the war is now bigger than one act of revenge. The realm is moving toward open conflict as alliances harden and old houses choose sides.

Okay. Prepare yourself. This one is pretty epic. Firstly we are finally finishing the MAMMOTH chapter in which we have seen assassination attempts, egg theft, lesbian tiffs, angry children and plotting a scheming galore. This time there's more death, some pretty awful Westerosi Women's Health programmes and A LOT more death! In fact, there's so much death, people are worried about what's actually going down on Dragonstone. Secondly, wehave our first guest! Joe Magician kindly joins us! We invited him on because this part of the chapter contains a mystery worthy of Sherlock Holmes himself and JM made an awesome theory video about this mystery a few years back and we wanted him on to expound and discuss it. And discuss it, we did! I love his theory and we hope you will find it interesting too. Trigger warning: there is a lot of Rhaena Apologist Behaviour in this episode. Sorry. Actually, Beth isn't sorry. Just Stef. Enjoy and let us know what YOU think about what Androw Farman did in 54AC on that eerie isle of Dragonstone.

Firstly... I'm so sorry. This recording was SUCH a pain in the backside to edit. The audio was awful and all attempts to improve it made it worse AND made it harder to cut out things I normally save you from hearing, such as chair noises, page turns, clattering pens... There is a section of weird noises I left in, but that was because it was funny. The problem is fixed so next time better (if not normal lol) service will be resumed.Secondly, here is the latest episode! Beth and Stef cover A Time Of Testing, when Jaehaerys finally gets to be an actual King and get on with the job of Kinging.He has to sort shit out at the Red Keep. Also make sure everything is good with The Faith because, oopsy, he accidentally married his sister and Westerosi people haven't historically been into that. In addition, he's got step-daddy from hell and treasonous-bro-in-chief, Rogar Baratheon to sort out once and for all, plus empty royal coffers (new Targ house words: No Money, Mo' Problems) and a prodigal sister that turns up needing a place to stay.Oh, also, my bad: I keep saying Yandel wrote Fire And Blood. It's not. It's really, really not. It's GYLDAYNE. FFS. I have self-flagellated (ooh errr) and vow never to make that mistake again!After all that, enjoy the episode!Love from,Stef and Beth

Come hear the juice! We have it all. The second half of this chapter is a doozy. In more bizarre twists and turns for this historical tome, we jump around Westeros, catching up with Rhaena and her court on Fair Isle for a bit. Not before jumping to Kings Landing for some sexy taxation talk (don't say we never give you treats), then a quick dip into Dorne, a sojourn in The North at The Wall to look at some naughty Nights Watchmen before settling back in The South at Dragonstone where we see if plans to scupper the marriage of Jaehaerys and Alysanne work out, and finally in Kings Landing where Rogar Baratheon casts the die for his downfall. That's right, there is treason afoot. The Maesters get bitchy. The Lannisters get greedy. Stef's mic is annoying. Her doorbell rings as well. Beth's chair wants to be the third on our podcast. And a fly gets frisky in Stef's office. It all happens on Episode 11!
Gretchen and Caroline continue their analysis of Fire & Blood with the sixth chapter, The Year of Three Brides Part 2. Alyssa and Rogar leave the kids alone for five minutes and oh no! Jaehaerys married his sister! More importantly, Jonquil Darke is here

In House of the Dragon conosciamo due gemelle drago, ma non sono le uniche della casata: le prime di cui facciamo conoscenza in Fire and Blood sono infatti Aerea e Rhaella, figlie dei principi Rhaena ed Aegon Targaryen, figli di Re Aenys I. Nascono in un contesto difficile, e da Castel Granito passano a Isola Bella e poi ad altri alleati, prima di fare il loro ingresso alla Fortezza Rossa, in mano al crudele zio dei loro genitori, colui che ha ucciso il loro padre e che ora lì, davanti a loro, sta sposando la loro madre. Entrambe sono prigioniere in un luogo che a loro non appartiene anche all'inizio del regno dello zio Jaehaerys, dove finalmente prendono l'iniziativa (o qualcuno per loro) per garantirsi la miglior vita possibile... ignare di cosa riserva loro il destino. Rhaella quindi è destinata a diventare una septa, ben contenta della cosa, ma Aerea è irrequieta e desiderosa di avventura, di liberarsi delle catene che l'hanno legata tutta la vita, vuole solo prendere un drago e volare il più lontano possibile da tutto e tutti. Quando lo fa, reclamando Balerion, la bestia più grande e famigerata ad aver mai volato sui cieli di Westeros, le cose però non vanno come vorrebbe...Art:1) Aerea by NaomiMakesArt & Lily Abdullina2) Rhaella by Lily AbdullinaLink utili:1) https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/aaadok/spoilers_extended_what_in_the_hell_happened_to/2) https://www.reddit.com/r/pureasoiaf/comments/nfheg0/spoilers_fb_two_thoughts_on_aerea_targaryens_story/3) https://www.quora.com/Are-there-any-theories-as-to-what-attacked-Balerion-when-he-and-Aerea-were-in-Valyria4) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIfAShIEZXc&t=39s&ab_channel=LaCittadella5) https://www.reddit.com/r/pureasoiaf/comments/kxasn7/origin_of_dragons_theory_connecting_princess/
During old king Jaehaerys Targaryen's reign, tragedies took his sons' lives, leaving the succession undecided. A Great Council convenes to choose Westeros' future ruler. Jaehaerys' grandchildren, Princess Rhaenys Targaryen and Prince Viserys Targaryen (Rhaenys' younger cousin) are the candidates. Westerosi law gives a male heir precedence over a female, regardless their birth order and Viserys is chosen. Nine years into King Visery I's reign, the Triarchy, an alliance formed by the free cities of Essos, threatens the kingdom, wanting to seize the Stepstones region. Viserys must also restrain his brother Daemon's brutality as the City Watch commander in King's Landing. Viserys, certain that pregnant Queen Aemma will bear him a son, holds a tournament to celebrate the impending birth. During the event, Dornish knight, Ser Criston Cole defeats Daemon in a competition while Queen Aemma and her son die in childbirth. The Hand of the King, Ser Otto Hightower, proposes that Viserys' only living child, the young princess Rhaenyra, be named heir to the Iron Throne. After a dispute with Daemon, Viserys proclaims Rhaenyra as the next ruler. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tradepaperbacks/message --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rangerryan/message
James and Ender discuss the pilot episode The Heirs of the Dragon HBO's new Original series House of the Dragon. Overview: With both his sons dead and the succession undecided, King Jaehaerys I Targaryen convenes a Great Council for the Westerosi lords to select a future ruler. Jaehaerys' eldest grandson, Prince Viserys, is chosen over his eldest grandchild, Princess Rhaenys. Nine years into his reign, Viserys organizes a tournament to celebrate Queen Aemma Arryn's pregnancy, confident she will give birth to a male heir. The Small Council disregards Master of Ships Lord Corlys Velaryon's warning that the Triarchy, an alliance of Essos' Free Cities, threatens to cripple Westerosi shipping lanes. Hand of the King, Ser Otto Hightower, criticizes Viserys's brother and heir, Prince Daemon, for his brutality as the City Watch commander. At the tournament, Ser Criston Cole, a common-born Dornish knight, outcompetes Daemon, while Aemma dies in childbirth, her son, Baelon, dying shortly after. Viserys refuses the council's pleas to anoint a new heir until Ser Otto reveals that Daemon mockingly styled Baelon as, "The Heir for a Day." Outraged, Viserys banishes Daemon from King's Landing and anoints his only living child, Princess Rhaenyra, heir to the Iron Throne. Episode Director: Miguel Sapochnik Episode Writter: Ryan Condal
Το POP για τις Δύσκολες Ώρες εγκαινιάζει μία νέα σειρά επεισοδίων και δεν θα μπορούσε παρά να έχει μία θεματολογία: Το House of the Dragon. Το House of the Dragon, το prequel spin-off του Game of Thrones, είναι το νέο μεγάλο στοίχημα της HBO και μέχρι στιγμής έχει δικαιώσει το δίκτυο. Η πρεμιέρα της σειράς έγινε η μεγαλύτερη που είχε ποτέ η HBO στην ιστορία της και βρισκόμαστε μόνο στην αρχή. Ο Θοδωρής Δημητρόπουλος και η Ιωσηφίνα Γριβέα βάζουν τους βασικούς παίκτες στο σκάκι, βγάζουν τα πρώτα θετικά και αρνητικά συμπεράσματα για τη σειρά, και εμβαθύνουν στο lore που δίνει νέα επίπεδα στα κίνητρα των χαρακτήρων. Σε ποιου τύπου φαν του Game of Thrones θα απηχήσει περισσότερο το House of the Dragon; Πώς νιώθουμε για τον Viserys ως προς τα καθήκοντά του ως βασιλιάς, πόσο στηρίζουμε τη Rhaenyra για τον Σιδερένιο Θρόνο και τι συναισθήματα μας προκαλεί ο Daemon Targaryen του Matt Smith, ο πιο γκρίζος χαρακτήρας του A Song of Ice and Fire σύμφωνα με τον George R.R. Martin; Τι μας αρέσει στην προσέγγιση μίας παλιάς εποχής του σύμπαντος από τη σειρά και τι θα αλλάζαμε στον τρόπο που κινείται η πλοκή; Πώς νιώσαμε για την πολυσυζητημένη σκηνή της γέννας; Επίσης, πώς αλλάζει η αποκάλυψη για το Τραγούδι του Πάγου και της Φωτιάς την ιστορία του Aegon του Κατακτητή, ποια ήταν η Daenys Targaryen που είδε σε όραμα την καταστροφή της Valyria, τι συνέβη όταν η Rhaenys έφτασε ένα βήμα από τον Θρόνο, και τι διαφωνία προέκυψε μεταξύ του παππού της, Jaehaerys, και της Alysanne Targaryen λόγω της διαδοχής;
During old king Jaehaerys Targaryen's reign, tragedies took his sons' lives, leaving the succession undecided. A Great Council convenes to choose Westeros' future ruler. Jaehaerys' grandchildren, Princess Rhaenys Targaryen and Prince Viserys Targaryen (Rhaenys' younger cousin) are the candidates. Westerosi law gives a male heir precedence over a female, regardless their birth order and Viserys is chosen. Nine years into King Visery I's reign, the Triarchy, an alliance formed by the free cities of Essos, threatens the kingdom, wanting to seize the Stepstones region. Viserys must also restrain his brother Daemon's brutality as the City Watch commander in King's Landing. Viserys, certain that pregnant Queen Aemma will bear him a son, holds a tournament to celebrate the impending birth. During the event, Dornish knight, Ser Criston Cole defeats Daemon in a competition while Queen Aemma and her son die in childbirth. The Hand of the King, Ser Otto Hightower, proposes that Viserys' only living child, the young princess Rhaenyra, be named heir to the Iron Throne. After a dispute with Daemon, Viserys proclaims Rhaenyra as the next ruler.
Fire Will Reign Emotional Fantasy Music - Ice & Fire by Solas. House of the Dragon is an American fantasy drama television series that is a prequel to the television series Game of Thrones (2011–2019), both based on the A Song of Ice and Fire novels by George R. R. Martin. The prequel series was created by Martin and Ryan Condal for HBO and is based on portions of Fire & Blood. Condal and Miguel Sapochnik are showrunners for House of the Dragon. Set about 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, the series chronicles the beginning of the end of House Targaryen, the events leading up to and covering the Targaryen war of succession, known as the "Dance of the Dragons". Season One, Episode One: The Heirs of the Dragon: In the last years of the reign of Jaehaerys Targaryen, the Old King, tragedies took the lives of his two eldest sons, Princes Aemon and Baelon, leaving the question of succession open. Faced with this situation, the king convened a Great Council where all the lords of Westeros would choose their future ruler. Two of Jaehaerys' grandchildren were candidates for succession, Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, wife of Lord Corlys Velaryon, the richest man at the time, and Prince Viserys Targaryen, Rhaenys' younger cousin and husband of Lady Aemma Arryn. By Westerosi law, a male descendant always comes ahead of a female descendant, causing Rhaenys to lose even though she was the oldest descendant of the king. Nine years later, King Viserys I reigns under the threat of the Triarchy, an alliance made by the free cities of Essos to obtain the region of Stepstones. In addition, Viserys has to deal with his brother Daemon Targaryen's misbehavior for practicing brutality against criminals in King's Landing in command of the City Watch. Queen Aemma dies during childbirth along with her newborn son, who would be Viserys' heir. The Queen's death occurred during the tournament held for the Prince's birth, where Ser Criston Cole defeated Daemon. The Hand of the King, Ser Otto Hightower, suggests that Viserys name his only living child, the young princess Rhaenyra, as heir to the Iron Throne instead of Daemon. After a falling out with Daemon, Viserys officially names his daughter Rhaenyra the Princess of Dragonstone and has several lords swear allegiance to her. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
In the final part of their three part mini-series, Joseph and Michael complete their overview of the Targaryen Dynasty before House of the Dragon. This time they cover the reign of King Jaehaerys the Conciliator and his sister-wife, Good Queen Alysanne. It was a time of peace and prosperity for the Seven Kingdoms but it did much to sow the seeds of war that will be depicted in House of the Dragon. They discuss the dramatic early years of Jaehaerys's reign, the lonely and depressing end to the story of Queen Rhaena Targaryen, the many children Jaehaerys and Alysanne had (their descendants will be major players in House of the Dragon), and return to the family tree one last time to see how all the major characters of House of the Dragon are related to one another. That and much more in this episode of Back Into Thrones.
Continuing their look at the years before HBO's House of the Dragon. the Small Council talks about Aegon the Conqueror, Aenys the Indecisive, Maegor the Cruel, and Jaehaerys the Conciliator. Will we see these kings of old in the show? Which king was most successful? Did Aegon unite the 7 kingdoms because he knew about the coming Night? Should Aegon have passed the throne to Visenya?

Primo episodio della serie sulla Danza dei Draghi, che non può certo cominciare senza parlare del Gran Concilio del 101 AC. Dopo anni di sicurezza, a seguito di morti importanti e in rapida successione Re Jaehaerys I si ritrova solo e con poco tempo da vivere. La sua successione è dubbia, tra figli dimenticati, una casata snobbata e nipoti non poco ambiziosi. Proprio su consiglio del figlio Vaegon, viene indetto un Gran Concilio, con i lord del regno chiamati da ogni suo angolo per risolvere la questione della successione al trono. Ma cosa si è davvero deciso in quel di Harrenhal, e su che basi? E in che modo questo Gran Concilio risulterà fondamentale per la Danza dei Draghi?Art by: Marc Simonetti for The World of Ice and FireLink utili:1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My2gfzRJy1k&t=95s2) https://racefortheironthrone.wordpress.com/2017/08/07/a-parcel-of-rogues-in-a-nation-the-great-councils-of-westeros-part-i/3) https://warsandpoliticsoficeandfire.wordpress.com/2015/06/10/the-three-heads-of-the-dragon-kings-pretenders-and-the-ladies-of-fire-the-great-council-of-101-2/4) https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/16mqp1/spoilers_all_complete_guide_to_westerosi/5) https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?%2Ftopic%2F146027-rlj-v164%2Fpage%2F20%2F#comment-80926076) https://lawsoficeandfire.wordpress.com/2019/04/10/rule-the-realm-girls/Supportate il canale in cambio di contenuti esclusivi: https://www.patreon.com/LaCittadellaQui trovate tutti i link del canale e dei suoi host: https://linktr.ee/LaCittadella

And we are back to discuss more Fire & Blood or as I call it: Jaehaerys & Pals. It's been a minute since we've done a F&B episode so here it is with more on the way. We'll need to get off the George R.R. Martin schedule and dump em out soon before Winds of Winter is released...hopefully...
And we are back to discuss some more Fire & Blood! This time we'll be going into Chapter 8: A Time of Testing. A cautious Jaehaerys has returned to King's Landing with some changes in mind.

In Episode 94 we get into some good old-fashioned family values...well, Targaryen Family Values. They are a little different. Highlights Include: drunken midnight rides through the city, kissing clubs, uncles that are younger than their nephews, ostracization, forced marriage. Also in this episode is more deaths, especially in the birthing bed, but more births also...uh...from the birthing bed. And as it does for us all, death comes for Alysanne and Jaehaerys. We also answer some questions from Bloodriders and play a fun Targaryen Name Game. Enjoy! Episode 94 also brings our coverage of Fire and Blood to an end. We will be moving on to cover hand-picked sections of The World of Ice and Fire, starting with the section titled The Bones and Beyond. So check back here in 3 weeks for the start of another fun adventure! Send us some mail! We love to hear from George’s fans about all things ASOIAF and beyond.

The boys forge ahead through Fire and Blood in Episode 093: Good Queen Alysanne. In this episode Jaehaerys and Alysanne face tragedy as the Shivers bear down on Westeros. They also make a progress up north where the winter’s cold and Alaric’s hospitality is the same. Also, Alysanne flexes on her husband to end a sacred right to the Lords of Westeros, while Jaehaerys uses some windfalls of capital to improve infrastructure for his Kingdom. In this episode we wanted to mention that we had a few audio issues in our recording. In truth Matt was a hero in salvaging some spots. We regret this departure from our normal level of quality and thank the Khalasar for their understanding. This is our second to last episode of Fire and Blood as our bizarre journey through that tome winds to an end. After we polish that off, we will be jumping straight into some more ASOIAF, hand-picking sections from The World of Ice and Fire. As is our custom, we aren’t going to make it easy, actually starting with the section called “The Bones and Beyond”, which covers lands to the East, like Asshai. We will be hand selecting other selections as we go. If you want to send us some ravenmail, we can be found in lots of places on the scary web. wearedavosfingers@gmail.com, on twitter @davosfingers, you can find us and like us on Facebook, or check out davosfingers.com for our Tumblr site.

The Stranger has come in the year of 54 AC and the Fingers explore one of the biggest mysteries of Fire and Blood in Episode 092: the death of Aerea. We also lose another Queen, a High Septon, nearly a whole Queen’s court including her consort, oh and a Westhill...a what? Also, laws are written, progresses taken, High Septons appointed, and peace largely maintained during the years of Jaehaerys' early rule. We only have 3 more episodes before capping off our coverage of Fire and Blood. What SHALL we do next, who knows! But if you want to drop us a line with a suggestion we can be found all over the place: wearedavosfingers@gmail.com, @davosfingers on twitter, you can find and follow us on Facebook, or our Tumblr site davosfingers.com.

In Doctrine of Exceptionalism, Matt and Scad finally see Jaehaerys mount the throne (among other things) as he reaches the age of majority, and changes, they are a’comin. Also in this episode, Rogar commits treason (or does he), Rhaena causes trouble (on both coasts), we get some new arrivals to the Targaryen family tree, and the crown continues its constant negotiation with the Faith regarding incestuous marriage.

All of these Chapter Headings and Page Number designations, of course, coming from the beautiful Fire and Blood hardcover.
In episode 90, the Fingers finally reach into the rule of Jaehaerys and Alysanne Targaryen, covering their early years, from arrival at KL with the help of Rogar Baratheon through their idyllic days on Dragonstone and everything in between. Listen in as Jaehaerys picks reconciliation over blood, Alyssa and Rogar get second chance at happiness, five Kingsguard earn their cloaks, and Alysanne picks a husband. You may have noticed that we skipped over covering the Sons of the Dragon chapter. That's because we covered way back in Episode 081.

Tercera edición de Los Archivos de la Ciudadela, nueva mini sección e independiente de los programas de Podcast de Hielo y Fuego en la que haremos análisis de la actualidad en cuando suceda. En esta ocasión hablamos de la "noticia" publicada en la publicación Empire en la que afirman que el verdadero nombre de Jon es Jaehaerys.
Programa 78 del primer podcast español dedicado a la obra de George R.R. Martin, 'Canción de Hielo y Fuego'; y 'Juego de tronos', adaptación de HBO. Volvemos a la biblioteca de Antigua para retomar el volumen de Historia de Poniente. En esta ocasión, echamos la vista atrás para hablar sobre el reinado de Jaehaerys I Targaryen, apodado "El Conciliador", uno de los mejores reyes que se han sentado en el Trono de Hierro y cuyo reinado trajo consigo 50 años de paz, además de múltiples reformas enfocadas al pueblo llano. También hablamos sobre el Gran Concilio del año 101, que cambió las leyes de sucesión de Poniente y provocaría la famosa Danza de los dragones; del pacto que sellaría la paz con la Fe, así como de la reina Alysanne y de los 13 príncipes que nacieron de este fructífero y feliz matrimonio.
