Making this last Crownlands video was actually really challenging as with a lot of the minor houses information is so sparse it often repeats from house to house, in a lot of places it was actually hard to write it in a way that didn't just sound like i was reading the asoiafwiki simply because so little information existed. There really wasn't room for creative interpretation. I did contemplate not making this video, but i did a minor house video for the reach and stromlands so felt like the crownlands needed it to.
Honestly man you could make up some shit about these houses and it would be much better than what George or Elio doled out to us. Thank you for your effort
Average crownland house. > 1 single character mentioned in passing > does something > subsequently annihilated by being in the ground zero of Targaryen shenanigans > replaced by bastard house of Targaryen descent
Awesome video as always! The Crownland houses have some of the best sigils in the entire series, especially House Rambton, House Harte, & House Manning. Speaking of House Manning it’s a shame we know next to nothing about them, with a sigil like that, & them being located on Blackwater Bay you would think they would play a pretty crucial role for Aegon in the early parts of the Conquest & for Stannis. Also I was surprised you didn’t mention House Hayford in this one or make a video for them, but you definitely did a killer job covering the Crownlands & no other channel has done this kind of analysis on the region so thank you for being so awesome!
Tbh the ones who kept a foot in both camps were kinda detestable. Not loyal to either side but the winner. Fake loyalty for both. Gotta admire the loyalty of House Peake for example to side with The Blackfyres To The King! 🍻
@lukebarroso449 So true, my friend like Lord Osgrey, said If some of those leeches were more loyal the war could have gone differently. House Peake shows the peak of loyalty😄 and House Yronwood which is strange and funny. It's glorious to see you as always and I hope everything is going phenomenal for you!!!!! To You My Amazing Friend and To THE KING!!!!!!!!🍻
I wonder how many soldiers can the crownlands muster? Obviously the bulk the Targaryens army came from there regions like the reach stormlands westernlands north eyrie and the riverlands?
I mean there are some big houses in the crownlands so i think quite of lot there strength would come from the likes of Duskendale, Rosby, Stokeworth, Maindenpool, then you have the population of King's Landing which would make up a lot of fodder. The hosue in blackwater bay itself could give you ships but not so much in terms of men.
Ahhh yes another video on the crown lands !!! Thank you for your content mi’lord!!! For the watch & the lord commander!! For the golden company & BROTHER BITTERSTEEL
