“The fight between Rhaenyra Targaryen and her half-brother Aegon for control over the Seven Kingdoms. Both of them thought they belonged on the Iron Throne. When people started declaring for one of them or the other, their fight divided the kingdoms in two. Brothers fought brothers, dragons fought dragons. By the time it was over, thousands were dead. And it was a disaster for the Targaryens as well. They never truly recovered.”
―Princess Shireen Baratheon, S5E9

Love me some history class !
I'd love to see HBO spin-off series about The Dance of Dragons. Too much CGI tho.. not affordable 🙁
So what happened to those two traitorous Hightowers? Allicent and Otto I mean.
This amazing story will 100% be one of the spin offs. It has the action, backstabbing, and politics that has made game of thrones so fucking good.
HBO MAKE IT A SPIN OFFF PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Such a sad story. Can anyone tell me the name of the background music played at 5:45? Thank you!
They should make this a movie because a series won't have the budget for dragons. The story isn't so long as the series so it can be compressed into 2-3 hours with an amazing ensemble cast.
If they go for some kind of prequal series on HBO, this is defo what they should give us. Based on some feedback to season 7, all Game of Thrones fans seem to want is depression and misery!
Joffrey knows the story too well.
so it all started because rhaenyra didn't have a dick?
If they ever do make another series in Westeros (as I believe has been confirmed somewhere in HBO) the Dance of the Dragons is an amazing place to go. Robert's Rebellion and Aegon's Conquest are both great but they're both relatively well known by all the show viewers and book reader alike. If instead you choose to create The Dance of Dragons, or even the Blackfyre Rebellion, you have a relatively unknown story but with some very strong storytelling.
Amazing work – hope this is one of the spin-off series but based on budget alone I'm not holding my breath (Also D&D if you're reading this i'd like to preemptively volunteer to play that black Dragonseed boy queuing up lol)
I'd love to see a movie about this war
yeah I'm with the blacks
If all the talk about spin offs is true, this should certainly be one of them. Though it would probably be more apt as a mini-series.
I like Daemon's character. He was such indeed a badass warrior!
Hoping they do the Blackfyre Rebellion like this
If rhaenrya mounted her dragon she could have easily killed all the smallfolk and the dragons would probably have never gone extinct
tbh, I will be more hyped about a series that follows The Dance of the Dragons than Robert's rebellion
so what happened to dark sister? did it get lost in the water or was it recovered?
Literally nobody won this war. Not even Aegon II. When he died, King's Landing was under siege by armies loyal to Rhaenyra.
Even in the series, whenever characters talk of the war they still take this side or that. It's legacy was that terrible.
Apart from the incest and murder, The Targaryans are basically my family lol
HBO…make a spinoff of this please!!
I would love for this to be one of the spin offs, but the CGI costs would be so high with all the airbourne dragon fighting!
I can't decide weather Dance of Dragons or Roberts Rebellion would make a better spin off
this needs to be a series and it needs to be soon
aemond one-Eye is awesome
#teamRheanyra
I know this ignores a lot of Daemon's fucked up past, but he's so fucking cool.
Rhaeneyra's children actually didn't resemble Targaryens
