🧙 History of Hate: Blackwoods and Brackens | House of the Dragon

We started with Willem Blackwood and Jerrel Bracken, and now we’re here. The Blackwoods and Brackens have finally made their impact on a Game of Thrones property, and predictably it starts with teenagers arguing and ends with hundreds and thousands of men dead in a field, a sword through a throat, and a burning mill. As is tradition for the singularly most volatile and storied feud ever known in Westeros. And I couldn’t be more elated for it, the Blackwoods are one of my favorite houses in the entire series. And the brackens exist as well, the perennial punching bags of the Blackwoods. In this video I’m going to attempt to share my love of the Blackwoods and their epic feud with the Brackens, their history, how they ended up supporting the Blacks and the Greens in the Dance of the Dragons, and why this is all still happening.

@@JoeMagicianAeron did nothing wrong. Poor kid was just trying to do what he was taught a knight is supposed to. He had no say in the matter. The grass around the stones is overgrown and growing through the gaps, so it must've sat undisturbed for a while. My guess is that its a historical grievance and Davos was just trying to start shit. Blackwoods have probably been telling Brackens to "put the stones back" in that field for centuries. Davos probably doesn't even know where exactly they're supposed to go back to, considering they're in the middle of a field with no landmarks. I think Davos body is laying on the riverbank at 4:25 just to the left of the dead horse. Hard to tell exactly but the clothes match

I love this dichotomy of honor and ambition you laid out. Thinking about prophecy as well, Bloodraven is unlikely to be the only Blackwood who had green dreams. Their past ancestors might've stressed the grudge because they knew what was coming and the need to protect against it thru old god worship and culture. This was also lost to the later generations as the world lost magic and people lost faith in it.

i could be reading too much on the names. bracken is a type of fern that has many uses, but is poisonous to humans and may even cause death. that blackwoods accuse the brackens of poisoning their weirwood tree might be true. furthermore, bracken fern needs to be managed so as not to dominate woodlands. interesting...

The Bracken tale makes more sense: the Blackwoods were exiled from the North and so would have become vassals of somebody in the South or else warred with someone to craft their own kingdom.

@JoeMagician 20 дней назад

My personal favorite is both are true, just at different times. My head canon is they were both vassals to the Mudds. The Mudds giving them blackwood vale similar to the Starks and Manderlys. The Blackwoods were kings first after the Mudds. Then the Brackens rebelled and became kings. After which the Blackwoods rebelled against them to gain back their independence. Both filling the power vacuum of the loss of House Mudd, at different times both claiming to be kings of the Rivers. But the history of the Brackens shows a clear pattern of behavior that lines pretty well with the Blackwood story. They love backstabbing, oath breaking, and allying with anyone to take down the Blackwoods. My guess is that is closer to true while not having any details.

When Aegon became King, the very first law he passed in Westeros forbade lords from engaging in petty wars instead decreeing that all disputes between them should be settled by thier Lord Paramount.

Before I start the video I will say my own personal theory is that the Brackens are the old Brandon Stark loyalists from the days when he became the Grey King. The blackwoods on the other hand are the former greenhands. Both sides started using insults to refer to one another, family deaths happened fast and frequently and that has led to the insults becoming the family names over time.

Here’s a theory of mine, after the Blackwoods left the north, they went south in the Riverlands and actually conquered the lands previously ruled by the Brackens. They they never were the vassal of house Bracken, and by right of conquest they kept the lands and defended it multiple times when house Bracken tried to reclaim their lost lands, thus starting the feud. When the Andals came they allied, and when house Bracken abandoned the olds gods that’s when the feud got worse.

How to solve it? Easy, barely an inconvenience. Since the Brackens have all daughters at this point in ASOIAF, and the Blackwoods mostly have sons, just throw a big wedding where all the Blackwoods marry all the Brackens. Or, you know, just get the Others to wipe out both houses. If they all die, no feud. Worse case scenario they team up to wreck shop and solve their feud that way.

@JoeMagician 16 дней назад

To Hoster Blackwood's point I put in the video, they've done that over and over throughout history. Marriage pacts and alliances and bonds of friendship to put it all behind them. Making every Bracken a Blackwood and vice versa, hasn't stopped the feud. It eventually returns.

Does anyone have any recommendations for any channels that make videos in this exact style, that are this engaging, but whom cover feuds between real historical houses, or battles, and real olde political / royal dynasties etc. GRRM based all of this on the war of the roses in a way, so all these houses have similarities to true historical stuff. Look up the Black Dinner, or the Glendcoe massacre, or the war of the roses to learn some hectic historical stuff. But yeah if anyone knows of any channels that are as interesting and similarly produced to this stuff, let me know...

Both houses should have hired mercenaries to maintain the borders. Less contact between yhe houses...the better

We haven't seen him return yet, perhaps he will resurface.

I know it was going to happen but I can’t believe that such a large battle happened over what could be boiled down to rocks and an overheard insult, is the WWE? 😂

@mostlytrue3150 20 дней назад

It wasn't about the rocks, it's like the maester says later in the episode, they were just looking for an excuse to kill each other. If it hadn't been the boundary stones, it would've been a missing cow or something

@maylabrown4584 20 дней назад

@@mostlytrue3150 Yeah but looking at it from the outside in, it all started over some damn rocks 🤣

@mostlytrue3150 20 дней назад

@maylabrown4584 fair enough. I'm surprised that neither house has been whiped out yet. They gotta be having a shit ton of kids

@maylabrown4584 20 дней назад

@@mostlytrue3150 Yeah with one another, both Houses right now have collectively over a dozen kids (literally) with one House having 5 daughters and the other having 3 Sons and that's just the immediate Royal Houses. It's theorized that there's gonna be a Mass Marriage to bring the Houses together and that's going to be the area which will kick off the 2nd Red Wedding between Freys and Lannisters. Imagine that's what brings the Houses together in the end?

@mostlytrue3150 20 дней назад

@maylabrown4584 yeah I wouldn't want to be the guy that does something that makes these guys see eye to eye. I do think it's slightly ironic the whole "the north remembers" thing. Yet the one house that got evicted from the north can't remember why they hate the brackens 😅 I think grrm did that on purpose

Great video but I’ll say your wrong about your conclusion you mention how the blackwoods are likely exiles from the north I take it the brackens were like the manderlys and gave them land and the blackwoods betrayed them

@JoeMagician 19 дней назад

I've said a similar thing in the past, changed my mind thinking about it more. Seems more likely it was the Mudds who gave the Blackwoods their lands as they were the historical overlords of the region for a very long time. Blackwood Vale may have been land the Brackens wanted or was confiscated from them. After the Mudds are destroyed by the Andals and the region breaks into pieces, lots of Riverlanders declare themselves kings and we get the mess that is the Brackens and Blackwood flipping back and forth.
