House Of The Dragon and the asoiaf books make a bug deal about how special Targaryen blood is supposed to be and how that is a justification to the sibling marriages they make. But it turns out that if you follow the extended family tree of house targaryen you will find many women who married into other houses with her own children in turn marrying into other houses meaning by the time you get to the main books many houses in westeros have targaryen blood. With Daenerys herself having very little Valyrian DNA left due to all the marriages outside of House Targaryen over 300 years. More House Have Targaryen Blood Than You Think.

The ASOIAF Wiki has been used to confirm order of events and clarify discrepancies between sources. George R.R. Martin's blog posts have also been used as a source and like the wiki i to do consider this information canon. Any similarity of this video to the structure of these sources is a consequence of the subject matter of the video and limited sources dictating the way in which events played out with no room for interpretation. In some areas it can be very difficult to make the script 100% different as stated in the sources without just making it up which isn't the point of these videos. There are places it's more similar to the sources than i like but with no way to really spin it a different way, given in many case, it's physically the only way to approach the subject. Information strictly from the TV show has not been used in these video unless stated otherwise. The Dance Of The Dragons will be the focus of the plot of the new HBO spin-off House Of The Dragon coming in 2022. So if you want to learn the story before we see HBO's take on it then this will be a very long-running series. Game Of Thrones / House of the dragon are HBO shows based on George R R Martin's A Song Of Ice And Fire series. The information in this video comes from the books a world of ice and fire as well as fire and blood. ----------------------------------------------- CHANNEL MEMBERS ----------------------------------------------- Isaac Flores Chris Sudduth kevin codd Michael McGillicuddy ignas mikalauskas Michael McGillicuddy gearóid :0 (Level 3) mikeyneggs Laura Eyres Logan Julien Bruno Mugema Gabriel Mag KarSanders Jasxn UwU Matthew Wiles Cade Mike Nickj Campbell Aaron Guest Lucas Arnott Lehel Vaspal Gerard Gonzalez Red Lotus Society Flus har A Squid(ney) Jose Gonzalez (Level 3) ----------------------------------------------- SOCIAL MEDIA ------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------- ART LINKS ----------------------------------------------- The following link is for all the art that I use, if you see an image in this video a link to the source of it will be there, and the name of the artist if it's possible to find.

Unfortunately mistakes do happen as work gets reposted without credit all the time making narrowing down the original source a challenge. ------------------------------------- TAGS ------------------------------------ #gameofthrones #asoiaf #houseofthedragon #hbogameofthrones #asongoficeandfire #got #fireandblood #danceofdragons #windsofwinter
