Robert's Rebellion: Viewpoints | GoT History and Lore 

God I love Viserys' lore readings. He's just so wonderfully biased.

Roberts Voice is so epic!

A Baratheon help started the Targaryen reign and a Baratheon ended the reign.

Davos is the most honourable character in Westeros. He went in with a tiny boat to save those starving people trapped in Storms End.

"He doled out the food to his wife and each of his men before he ate himself, a portion no larger than any other." I was never a big Stannis fan, but that line right there gives me huge respect for the guy.

"It was the hardest choice I ever made, my brother or my king" - Stannis

GODS I WAS STRONG THEN

GODS THOSE WERE SOME BATTLES Robert is like the positive stereotype of a warrior king

Oberyn's contempt for the Lannisters, specifically Tywin, is so palpable in Pedro Pascal's voice work. You can hear the vitriol dripping from every syllable whenever he says their names.

I FOUGHT WITH THE FURY OF TEN MEN! Robert’s voice and all of his existence screams: ,,WAR!”. From the way he tells a story, through the sound of his voice, to the fury, valour and skill he fought his battles with. From the nature of the Storm-lands to his house words, Robert was built for war. Fantastically written character and terrifically performed by Mark Addy.

Anyone try using “gods” in conversation? “Gods, that was a good taco.”

This has nothing to do with Roberts Rebellion. But I just realized that Robb Stark never came back to the North. The moment he left to enter the War of the Five Kings. He never went back. It’s honestly really sad.

I want Mark Addy to narrate my life. GODS how awesome that would be.

I love the way Ser Davos describes Stannis, his narration was my favorite

"Our means were bloody but the results speak for themselves" probably should have been the Lannisters' motto.

Its so tragic and yet so beautiful how Oberyn discribed Elia and loved her so damn much. She sounded like a wonderful humble Person and was killed so brutally and cruelest way possible...

"So easy.. a king should die harder then this" goddamn if that ain't a badass line

Hearing Stephen Dillane makes me happy. His portrayal of Stannis made me love the character, with all his flaws/sins and his little touching moments. The guy had it rough. Even after all his efforts to help Robert, which meant going against his duty and loyalty to Aerys, he still got nothing. Storms end should’ve been his. The throne was his by right and everyone except Ned undermined him. His wife couldn’t even provide him with a male heir and his only daughter was sick with greyscale. Robert never loved him, Renly betrayed him. I would’ve loved to see the peach scene in the show. Stannis said he would go to his grave remembering Renly and his peach. A way for his brother to tell him to smell the roses, a proof that they loved each other to some degree.

Imagine a one on one conversation between Stannis and Tywin.

I don’t really get the Stannis simping the fans participate in. But his pov in the rebellion makes me sympathetic of him. He defied his king to help his brother, despite putting laws above all else, and sacrificed so much. Yet when Stannis needed Renly to defeat Joffrey, Renly went against him and made the war so much worse because “why not Robert started a war too lmao”. His younger brother betrayed him when he needed him most.

Gods, Roberts voice alone could inspire a thousand men to go to War for him!

I somehow cannot imagine Jaime Lannister married to Lisa Tully...

Isn’t it funny that Kat hated Jon but he’s the one now protecting her daughters and has regained their position in the north

REAL TALK THOUGH, DAVOS NARRATION MADE ME CRY, HE'S SUCH A GOOD MAN.

Man I love house Tyrell. Margaery paints a unbiased view of the war where House Tyrell had nothing to truly gain or lose if either side won.

I don't understand why HBO doesn't make a prequel on Roberts rebellion.they have so much material.why making some other stories.this one is just fine...

34:27 "but Jon Arryn died, then Robert, then Ned." Man, still hits hard.

Couldn't have gone with anyone better than Mark Addy for Robert.

"The Baratheons say 'Ours is the fury.' I will show them... fury *BURNS* "

I honestly do not consider the Rebellion unjustified. Even if Lyanna was not abducted, Aerys still murdered Rickard and Brandon Stark, Lord Paramount of the North and the heir to Winterfell on bullshit charges and flimsy evidence and in gruesomely cruel fashion before calling for the heads of Ned Stark and Robert Baratheon on unjustified grounds who were under the direct protection of House Arryn. The crimes against House Stark alone made it certain that there would be war, especially since they had been nothing but loyal vassals to the Targaryens for almost 300 years. Pro-Targaryen loyalists honestly disgust me by refusing to acknowledge the legitimate grievances that all the belligerents had against the House of the Dragon, especially the Starks. I do, however, extremely regret what happened to Elia Martell and her children because they did not deserve to die.

38:35 this highlights the difference between Little Finger and Tywin, both are sociopaths but the major distinction is that Tywin is part of the upper class and seeks to maintain his position while Little Finger seeks to gain power.

They seriously should do a epic blockbuster of this story, and call it "REBELLION".

These lore videos using the actors to narrate is some of the best additional content I’ve had the pleasure of listening too

All the fostering and marriages around country shows that a big alliance was already being forged, in order to take down Aerys II or at least protect themselves. During the previous peace time, all the great lords married their own noblewoman: Rickard Stark to a Stark cousin, his father Edwyle to a Locke, and his father Willam to a Glover, Hoster Tully to a Whent, Jon Arryn to a Royce, then an Arryn, Steffon Baratheon to a Estermont, Mace Tyrell to a Redwyne, etc. They knew war would come soon or later.

Petyr and Varys fighting is making my day.

Seven hells, I miss how epic the show was in the early years

Isn’t it funny how viserys doesn’t realize that he isn’t the heir the sons of the first son come before the second born son. Technically aegon would be named king

It’s so sad that by the time cat died she still didn’t know the truth about jon

I wonder if Robert was so angry because he really believed Lyanna had been abducted and raped, or because he knew Lyanna didn't want him and couldn't deal with the blow to his ego.

Lol “as far as areys he must’ve been pissing himself” sounds like the words of king Robert😭😭

8:53 stannis part is the best

Olenna should narrate the Tyrell part

My Fancast for Roberts Rebellion Series: Travis Fimmel as Robert Baratheon Jack O’Connell as Ned Stark Jessica Brown Findlay as Lyanna Stark Jamie Campbell Bower as Rhaegar Targaryen Michael Sheen as King Areys II (The Mad King) Annabelle Wallis as Queen Rahella Targaryen Anthony Starr as Tywin Lannister Colin Firth as Jon Arryn Jacob Elordi as Ser Gregor Clegane (The Mountain) Damian Lewis as Ser Barriston Selmy Mads Mikkelson as Ser Gerold Hightower Alexander Dreymon as Ser Arthur Dayne Alex Pettyfyre as Ser Jamie Lannister Josephine Langford as Cersei Lannister Sofia Carson as Elia Martell Will Poulter as Varys Phoebe Dynevor as Catelyn Stark Joseph Fiennes as Grand Maester Pycelle Toby Stevens as Jon Connigton Hugh Laurie as Hoster Tully Frank Dillane as Stannis Baratheon Domhall Gleeson as Howland Reed Jamie Dornan as Brandon Stark Liam Neeson as Rickard Stark Emma Thompson as Lyrra Stark Mark Ryder as Benjen Stark Jessica Barden as Lysa Tully Alex Lawther as Peter Balish (Little Finger) Billy Barrat as Young Viserys III For Young Tyrion couldn’t pick because there are few actors with Dwarfism! So for this one just pick a new comer! Find a Little Person from the UK who’s young and looks somewhat like Peter Dinklage

Oberyn's lore story about his sister Elia was so awesome

You know you did something right when you seal the narrative by Tywin Lannister himself.

I love listening to all the different POVs talking about their viewpoints and where thet stood in regards of Roberts rebellion.Ive always enjoyed these "Histoies&Lore vids. ROBERTS REBELLION& Animated version of the TARGARYANS CONQUEST are my 1 favourite ones i think

SEVEN HELLS THAT WAS A GLORIOUS DAY

A good line for Viserys would've been - "And when I sit upon the Iron Throne, those that rose against my house shall die in the ashes of their own houses"

Robert really was the main character at some point and low key deserved it lol. Dude was just a war machine, without any prophecies or dragons or magic trickery, just big axe

They should have made a show out of this.

Targaryen reign wasn't peaceful for 300 years. Not counting the conquest There's the War against the Faithful Militants, Dance of the Dragons and Blackfyre Rebellions

I like how Tywin explained it like he was doing good

Mark Addy (Robert) is terrific! It’s hilarious to think that he’s the same actor who played the doofy “Roland” in “A Knight’s Tale.”

I really needed to see these, I've never seen them and it helps me work shit out lmao

I love Oberyn's voice.

Very interesting...explains a lot! Thanks😊

Its often said that one of the inspiration for GOT was the english war of the roses but i would say a more accurate historical comparison would be the first scottish war of independance. Many claimants to many thrones. Politics v unity more plots than fiction

I enjoyed every word of this.. masterful writing excellent delivery

A mini series on this would be so tremendous, something feels so special about Roberts reign

Mark Addy was an epic King, love his voice in this reading.

I love how you have to piece together the truth by cross-referencing and understanding each persons biases.

REBELLION!!! Seven Hells I love Robert’s voice!!

This is so good!

4:32 LMAO the eastereggs(Jaime ruthlessly becoming a King at the early draft of the story) and a foreshawdowing(The mad king's plan to burn the city)

You've got to love Robert Baratheon🤗

I love these lore readings

Love this!!

Mark Addy's voice as Robert is amazing

I like how she said Eddard isn't built like that😂

Be a Stannis. Not because it’s cool. Not because it’s the right thing to do. Be a Stannis, because you’ll be remembered… as awesome as you were. You always had the potential, and you proved it.

I love how all of the actors didn't just read the words, completely in character and stayed the course. Mark Addy made sure it was Robert talking about Robert's rebellion. It's viserys himself talking about the Targaryens. All of the spirit, bias, and pride still there

Gods he was strong then.

Gods be good. I cant get enough of the westerosi lore read by the actor/characters themselves. The varys little finger part is great. Why dont they all pitch in to read their chapters and lines for the most epic game of audiobooks ever?😊

Cat’s part was straight from the books.

We need a series on Roberts rebellion

The sad part is that Rhaegar probably would have been able to rule the 7 Kingdoms as a great king and prepare against the White Walkers.

The only thing missing is Sean Bean narrating this.

The two things I want most is a Roberts rebellion series and a dunk and egg series

Stannis the only true KINGGGG

How threatening the Martels sound, too bad their threats ended up as nothing in the show

Davos’ section perfectly sums up why Stannis has such loyal fans.

It would’ve been awesome if viserys would’ve been kind to Daenerys. They would of made a great team

A full cast reading of the books is a dream I still cling to but I think this is as close as we'll get

God each word he speaks gives me goosebumps ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Bobby baratheon ❤️❤️❤️

I wish the Martells had their vengeance

Nice ✌

Stannis sense of duty is awsome

Gods, I love these reads!

Sometimes ya gotta wonder why they bother changing the details for the show's Histories and Lore. Yeah, sometimes it's due to the age differences or fewer characters (like Davos having only one son), so it's understandable. But sometimes there's just absolutely no reason for it. Catelyn and Ned were together for a _fortnight_ before Ned had to get back to the war, not a night. And he was already back at Winterfell with baby Jon Snow when Catelyn arrived there with baby Robb after the war. Why bother changing that? Because it makes it seem more fortuitous if Ned knocked Catelyn up on the first try? Does it make it seem more dramatic if Catelyn is waiting longingly by the window for her man to come home, when she spots him from afar carrying a baby? Tropes.

5:24 ned simply built different

I’d pay any money to watch a show about the rebellion

I forgot they used to say Tyrell like Tirrell in Season 1 lol.

The pure vitriol in the Sir when Oberyn says Sir Gregor has so much spite I love it

I love how Bobbys recall of rebelion sound like late stage camping in Mount & Blade!

It is always funny to me when people call Robert a usurper when Aegon the Conquerer, conquered Westeros and burned some who didn’t bend the knee just because he wanted to. Even when the Mad King burned the Starks who were ruling the North for thousands of years, people didn’t say a word to the unworthy king because “Birthright”. Lords and peoples of Westeros have their minds so filled with “honor” and loyalty, they threw away the rationality completely

We need a Robert’s Rebellion series from HBO just to see the characters & these Westeros historic scenes brought to life. A young Robert Baratheon on the battlefield with his hammer & stag helmet dueling with prince Rhegar & shattering his ruby crested armor. The Mad King, a young Ned Stark & John Arryn , Ser Arthur Dane “ The Sword of the Morning” , Jamie Lannister earning his “The king slayer” name, Tywin Lannister ordering Gregor Clegane to murder Elia Martell & her children, “The day the smiles died” tournament, the escape of Daenarys & her brother, Davos “ The Onion Knight”…..The Battle of the Trident, The Battle of the Bells, The Seige of Storm’s End …… So much great material at their fingertips !

"Justice on our side"... In Game of Thrones 😆

“I’ll show them Fury burns” Damn bro...

Robert’s voice…… and goosebumps…. 😮

Lol I just love Tywin's Machiavelli personality.
