What If Arthur Dayne Won? (Game Of Thrones) 

What if Viserys stayed in Pentos when Daenerys wed Drogo?

Honestly, I just never like the idea of Jon's real name being Aegon since that was his older half brother's name & we have no precedence for that scenario occuring in recorded Targaryen history. My personal preference is Aemon but in this hypothetical I think Jon being named Rhaegar also makes sense since that could've been Lyanna's dying wish. The dynamic between Jon*, Viserys, Daenerys in Essos would be very interesting especially with Arthur Dayne & Willem Darry as caretakers. It only gets more interesting if & when they run into Young Griff (Blackfyre or not) & Jon Connington

What if Ned cooperated with Littlefinger and Renly to overthrow Cersei

I think the play for the Targaryens here is to wed Jon to Arianne, Viserys to Margery, and then Danny to Rob once they discover that Marcella is a bastard. Danny marring Rob is pretty viable since there’s a good chance that Benign knows about Lyanna and Rhaegar’s relationship. But I wonder would Robert become a fat drunk in this timeline? Before Danny and Viserys weren’t a problem since they were just two kids on their own. Now they’re together with Jon who Robert would probably hate more than anyone with Ser Arthur Dayne and some of their other allies raising them to reclaim their throne. They’re a more serious and hateful foe for Robert so he might remain combat ready to prepare for them. Also I desperately want the dragons to hatch since we finally have 3 riders

Me: (reads title) Also me: “are the Targaryens so back?”

What If Catlyn didn’t hate Jon

What if Myrcella “Baratheon” married Robb Stark instead Joffrey & Sansa? What if Lyanna Stark lived? What if Jamie Lannister was at the Tower Of Joy instead of Gerold Hightower?

Regarding the dragons it's still likely they would've gotten and hatched them. Faegon would likely never happen. Far as hatching the eggs Dany is a dreamer also a Targaryen woman. They tend to have the strongest ties to dragons and hatching. Jon would still be a warg so would likely have a moment of sensing the dragons like he did the wolf pups. Viserys being not crazy would likely treat the eggs with pride and obsession meaning they proba be kept in the right conditions. All this combine with the fact Jon is def Azor Ahai and 3 targs means 3 heads = new dragons for the new conquest.

What if Jon Snow looked exactly like Rhaegar?

Bro ur vision in these what ifs are incredible 😮 thanks for this great stuff dude... And could do a what if selmy lived whenever u can 😅

Nothing changes …. Rhaegar is still dead, Kings Landing is still sacked and the Targaryen Dynasty is over, Lyanna still dies in childbirth, Lord Commander Gerald Hightower and Ser Oswell Whent still die at The Tower of Joy The only thing that changes is Ned dies and leaves behind Catelyn with baby Robb. No other Stark heirs. Which means Benjen likely takes Ned’s place as Lord of Winterfell until Robb comes of age. Probably marries Catelyn who is a curse on House Stark given that both Brandon and Ned died after being tied to her through marriage pacts. The 7 Kingdoms more than likely go on as written. Unless Bobby B was foolish enough to take on Ser Arthur Dayne in a 1v1 contest should Dayne seek to avenge Rhaegar

Interesting thing is that stannis knew able the lanister kids before ned did. So once robert dies stannis tells the relam the truth which could give the targareny the chance to marry danny to the starks. Now they would have the north and dorne with them which probably means the tully join in too. Then, a marriage alliance of versyen with the reach or the vale would give jon control of 4 of the 7 kingdoms.

What if blood and cheese actually killed Aemond instead of Jaehaerys.

what if robbert was at the tower of joy with ned

What if Peter won the duel for Cats hand ? (Because of Brandon tripping over a Rock or sth like that)

What if Lyanna survived childbirth?

always love your vids, my only minor complaint is Rhaegar having 2 sons named Aegon is stupid I know they did it in the show but I think most people can agree its dumb

What if Viserys didn't marry Alicent but kept her as a paramour?

16:22 the dragons hatch because of prophecy. They needed dragons to fight the long night

What if lyanna stark survived

I disagree about how Cersei would feel about a marriage pact for Rob and Myrcella. The crap with the Martells is exactly why she was against the marriage. Sure, she wouldnt want to say goodbye so early, considering Myrcella was pretty young, and sure...she was an id10t a lot of times, but she was smart enough to recognize the strategic advantages of having her bastard daughter married off to the warden of the north. This effectively puts Myrcella's blood, and by extension Lannister blood, in the wide north, in a place of power. Especially if Rob died young enough to have heirs, but not so young Myrcella hasnt established her presence. Like in the case of Lysa, except age gap not so large lol. Hope that makes sense.

What if the Lannisters were a normal loving functional family?

What if Laenor didn't leave following the Driftmark episode and got Rhaenyra pregnant during the following timeskip (he had renewed dedication to being a husband to Rhaenyra)?

What if dany's mother (forgot her name) lived giving birth on dragonstone and fled with her children to essos?

With Robert being so angry in this timeline, and regular Robert already being a wife-beater, there is a possibility that he beats Cersei to death in a drunken rage at some point and that Jaime would die fighting Barristan Selmi in his attempt to kill Robert afterward. Would be interesting to see how that timeline would continue. Likely the Lannisters would die out in a war. I could see Littlefinger taking over the Westerlands on Robert's command, after which a marriage with Lysa would give him control over two kingdoms. Margaery would probably become Joffrey's wife, after which Littlefinger and Olenna could still work together to poison not only Joffrey but also Robert. Though at that point the realm would be reasonably unified, so not much more might happen unless they somehow frame Dorne.

Can you do a video if Stannis had won the Battle of Blackwater?

I doubt that with all that was going on Ser Arthur wouldve killed Ned... 1-The Rebellion was all but won by Robert at that point 2- Its obvious that Rhaegar instructed them to stay and protect both Lyanna and Jon/(insert real name here) 3- He probably tells Stark the truth of Rhaegar and Lyanna once its just the 2 of them, should no other Kingsguard survives or not.

Considering that Benjen was about 14 at the end of the Rebellion and never schooled to rule (Rickard trained Brandon and even Ned got some lordship tutoring from Jon Arryn) it is quite possible the North would call for him to have a regent or regent council of his own until he can rule on Robb's behalf. House Stark would be down to an unknown young widow of a different religion, a baby and a man barely old enough to be called such. This could bring unrest to the North and even more scheming from the Boltons, etc. And it's possible that instead of marrying Cat, Ben would need a northern match to strengthen their position. You also have Robert visiting the crypts to see Lyanna and Ned but how did they got there? Ned brought back his sister's bones but left literally everyone else at the Tower, including Ser Arthur, despite then going to that man's home of Starfall. I always understood that he didn't want to drag more dead bodies with him (normally, you need Silent Sisters to boil flesh of the body?) and risk smell, deasise or bringing too much attention to himself. His action left him open to an hot fury of Barbrey Dustin. So the question is: how bones of both Ned and Lyanna made it over to Winterfell? Was ToJ not concealed, and someone stumbled upon it? Did Arthur come back to collect them and then mailed them up North on some trading ship?

Jon Connington would also rally his banners behind Jon's claim since Arthur is living proof that Jon is the rightful king. And should Griff be legitimate then that only extends the further power and influence of the Targaryens. Though he is likely a Blackfyre.

My take would be aegon goes with the Martell viserys and Danny marry and are gifted the three eggs and just like the show Jeffery resigns barriston and shortly after would be Danny still encounters the witch this times it’s while traveling from Essos back to dorne for the wedding for aegon so all three plus Dayne and barriston encounter the Dothraki raiding the village and Danny wanting to save the witch dayne or barriston doesn’t matter dies fighting and Danny tries to ask the witch for help like drogo backfiring like the show burns her and dayne/barriston and the eggs hatch and dragoon would be named different but go to aegon viserion would go to viseries and Rhaegal also named different would go to Danny and then barriston/dayne would take them to dorne in more of haste now and raise the dragons there before all three and the dornish alliance take back the crown

Joffery is most likely called Eddard. Yuck.

What if Stannis succeeded in seizing the Iron Throne?

We should get a version of this What If where "Jon Sands" grows up at Starfall as the bastard son of Ned Stark and Ashara Dayne. I imagine Robert would take a strong interest in "Ned's son", possibly even taking him in to be fostered at King's Landing, sparking a rivalry with Joffery and the other Lannisters. Would make for a very interesting timeline once the War of the Five Kings kicks off (assuming it still does without Ned since Jon Arryn was close to blowing the lid off the conspiracy anyways). Who would Jon side with after Robert is gone? Lannisters would control him at the start and he may feel the same sense of craving belonging to his foster siblings he had with the Stark children OTL. Rob in the North is his kin but they've never met and he may hold resentment towards Jon for being the bastard who got his father killed. He would also have strong relationships with Stannis and Renly Baratheon from court and would feel attachment to the Baratheons for raising him. Perhaps he even goes back "home" to Dorne and links up with Dany similarly to how Quentyn Martell tries OTL except now it works. I agree with Arthur Dayne going to Essos to protect Dany/Viserys, but it would also be interesting to see if he links them up with Jon Connington and "Aegon".

What if that boar had killed rhaneyra in kingswood

Dude , just lower the usage of perhaps, chose a tineline and stick with it

If rhegar never kidnapped lyanna why wouldn't they let ned get to his SISTER it never made sense to me its not like he would hurt her or a kid she has because the starks are very protective of there own kin more so than anyone else

What if the mad king never wants mad

these get me hype as if there making a real show about this

What if Catelyn was baren ?

Need part 2

Viserys was named Heir after Rhaegar’s death. Jon/Aegon wouldn’t be over him in this situation.

What if Arthur daen dis armed Ned but not kill him knowing that Ned was only trying to save sister. And both ned and Arthur daen are both honor base characters. I think Ned would help Arthur daen know that he was the prospector to his sister once he was told what truly happened. Sister would still die but son would have two prospector. Ned would probably tell Arthur Dean about the Targaryens siblings escaping and Arthur would want to go protect them too. But I think Ned would talk him in to leaving Jon with him for reasons like he would have to travel fast and a lot and having new born would lead to openings during fights,and with dark hair and being partly stark Ned could hide him in plain sight, plus with the siblings all ready on the run they need him more. Author would possibly exknowege this and take Ned up knowing it is the plan with high possibility to work. Author would rush to help Dany and brother and be there protector knowing they would be the most in danger. Ned would return to North with Jon. Some stuff would change and some stuff would remain the same the siblings would have the most change though. And once grow Author Dean may talk Dany to marry drago more willingly because knowing that the time was coming from them to taking back throne may be appon them and drago could help them a cheave this and bother having Author to train would up knowledge in both intelligence and skill with sword so he would be a better brother to his sister. Possibly big change is if drago dies and Dany becoming child less. Remember drago son was claimed to mount the world. And if that changes he could have been dragon rider. Later the dragon eggs arrive (call it destiny) comet passes and they are hatched brother and sister came one dragon then wonders who can ride the third dragon. This is where Author Dean tells them about Jon and how he is a Targaryen too. And if Jon story's stays mostly the same he goes to wall where he meets the mistor there and how he is a Targaryen. Depending if Ned tells Jon of his parenting or if like show keeps it to himself may change. It would also be on what Ned and Author agree to do Later in life to let them know or not and if to take kingdom back or not. Ned would be more turn knowing Jon is rightful king but that his best friend is king. But if Jon even knows about true parents and Ned tells him to keep it a secret he still may tell the mistor at wall. He would later find out about the white walkers and the dead and possibly most of the same stuff will happen the same,(possibly Ned death or survival) with Ned having knowledge of true king still alive. And possibly of Robert’s children being born of insest he may go to installing true king in place.(After Robert death, Ned may call on Author Dean.) Witch still could lead to him still being executed. Leading so some of rest staying the same. War of the 5 kings and red wedding, ect. but then Jon goes and meets Author and the siblings and army on dragon stone with knowledge of dragon glass and if Jon knowing parents or not could be told to him after meeting them or after meeting the dragons and they exknowege Jon as Targaryen. When they allow him to touch them. And Jon wandering why. Then with that u get the prince who was promised and the three heads of the dragon because Jon would claim the third dragon. And if Jon trains with Author for a bet and take lead of army and bring them to the north some of the ret could change dramatically or stay closely the same Jon is the king of the north and once he returns he could anonce he is of stark and Targaryen blood and true king and with 3 Targaryen and 3 dragon and with Author Dean backing up story I downt any one would deny this. In which is if they try to take kingdom still by force or try to do counsel with cerci like in show. Probable with both though cerci counsel in volved going and get one of the dead in which one dragon died but that that could be different do to there being riders on all the dragons or different plan all together with skilled fighters and tactics of followers. Other choice is they attack kings landing with 3 dragons cerci has no choice but to surrender. Because if they attack kings landing without destroying it this would before iron fleet and golden companie arrived so no be heading of friend at gate and Dany is calm and steady. And without hostage or martor the city survives. If cerci stays and is captured or if she runs away using tunnels is possible. Then with Jon as king full kingdom is mobiles to fight the dead. And if Jon keeps or relinquish throne may do to change to the story. And the story can go on. But I do think Author would have killed Ned once disarmed. Because ned was honor bond to save sister and Author dean was honored bond to protect her not to kill an unarmed man. And how the story changed could have been a good story.

If Young Griff shows up in time with Golden Company. Dany will be married to him and new alliances formed. After the death of Robert during the time of Joffrey's misrule they will attack without dragons.

I don't imagine Jon/Aegon would have the best reaction to finding out his mother died because of Rhaegar and Arthur killing his uncle if he ever found out.

Wasn't Jon Arryn told about Jamie and Cersei by Stannis? If so, it would only be a matter of time before it got to Robert or at least Rennly. After all, if Stannis can figure it out I'm damn sure Varys and Little Finger would figure it out immediately. They're both the 2 main conspirators in trying to bring down the current regime too so they'd definitely use it to put Robert at odds with the Lannisters.

When part 2 of what if Deamon and Rhea had a son. When part 2 of what if Deamon and Mysaria had a son. Also here some what if ideas. What if Viserys and Deamon brother Aegon lived. What if Balerion was still alive in house of the dragon. What if Rhaena claimed the Cannibal after the whole driftmark thing.

Keep up the great work with these what ifs. I find the ASOIAF fandom overall terrible and hesitant with these compared to fans of other things. Not sure why, maybe it's because the books aren't finished but I love that you're actually diving straight into it and creating a story around a change

Part 2 Viserys Invades Westeros landing in dorne where they gather an army

Meanwhile the line of 3 eyed ravens is broken as well as Starks at the wall and the Others take over.

What if Rhaenyra sent a dragon seed to aid Rhaenys against Vhagar?

What if Daenerys was born male?

Very Good Analysis Here. ❤

What if Jon snow was Robert’s son

This was a fun one ❤

What if daemon and caraxes lived
