The largest army Westeros has ever seen vs. Vhagar, Meraxes and Balerion - the only time the three fought together. It's shock and awe with dragons... but it's not the battle that we consider the best part of this story. He wasn't taking on a hated tyrant, rather quite the opposite. The Gardeners were the most famous family in Westeros, and the Lannisters had a castle even Balerion couldn't melt. Aegon had to be ruthless and delicate at the same time. Use code 50westeros at...

Queen Visenya, riding Vhagar, accompanies Lord Daemon Velaryon to force the submission of the Vale. Gulltown, one of the five true cities of Westeros, is where the action begins... and is the same place Robert's Rebellion began.

The Riverlords kneel to Aegon the Conqueror just outside of still-smoldering Harrenhal, and he bestows new titles and castles while dividing the kingdom of Isles of Rivers. As the Riverlands is reborn again, we take a look back 400 years to the last time they were ruled from within, and a war that pitted House Blackwood and the Storm King against the King of Rivers and Hills.

A name that evokes... well, quite a lot. None of it good, but much of it mysterious. Someone with such a connection to the Others, unlike any we've seen elsewhere, deserves a look, as awkward as it may be. Few characters leave as many unanswered questions!

Aegon I, Aenys and Maegor were all crowned at Oldtown, and all of them embroiled the city in the doings of the newly forged Iron Throne. The largest city in the realm and center of the Faith underwent serious changes after the coming of the dragons. The various schemes and matters of religion that made the lives of the Lords of the Hightower very tricky, which of course makes for some great stories.

How Ned treats his children (and children in general) is a big part of who he is, but his own father Lord Rickard was quite different. In many ways, Ned's upbringing was not at all typical for a Stark, and those differences played a large role in Robert's Rebellion and A Song of Ice and Fire. We explore Ned's early life with his family at Winterfell, then in the Vale with Robert, Jon Arryn and many others. Bonus Eps & More - www.patreon.com/historyofwesteros Shirts & Stickers -...

The isle of Naath is unique and unlike anything we’ve seen in the Known World, populated by extreme pacifists. However, their island is naath for the faint of heart, as it is also populated by extremely poisonous butterflies.

A most mysterious but compelling character. A voracious reader who was highly intelligent, the most sought-after bachelorette of her era... and possibly a bit cruel. She could have married any man she wanted, but never did. We seek to answer or at least discuss: what kinds of magic did she practice? did she know about the prophecy of the Others? how did she feel about her brothers fighting the Blackfyre Rebellions? why did she remain single? what connections did she have to Lys? and what was...
