Here’s another giant video full of ASOIAF history goodness – it covers all five Blackfyre rebellions, plus the Young Griff Blackfyre theory, plus some wild speculation about the story’s endgame, illustrated with lots of lovely art and quotes. Enjoy!

With Dunk & Egg and the Blackfyre Rebellions done, we’ll complete this run of historical topics with a video about the Tragedy of Summerhall. Summerhall was kind of the symbolic end to House Targaryen, years before their usurpation in Robert's Rebellion. It was the death of Dunk and Egg, and the birth of Rhaegar Targaryen. And it raises lots of big questions about magic, sacrifice and dragons in ASOIAF. So that’ll be the next big ASOIAF video.

After Summerhall, I want to do some videos about the main characters of the story, so I think we’ll hold a Patron vote to choose either Jon, Daenerys or Tyrion for a big character arc summary/analysis/speculation.

Also, I’ve made the Alt Shift X Patron Discord better. Now, all Patrons of all tiers can access both Discord channels – the general channel for GOT news and spicy memes and whatever, and the video-stuff channel where I post updates and screenshots and stuff from upcoming videos. It’s fun to chat and get feedback from you guys directly – so come join the Discord (you'll need to connect your Patreon account, guide here).

Thanks for your support!

Blackfyre Rebellions: House Targaryen’s greatest enemies [early Patreon release]

Why did Daemon Blackfyre rebel against King Daeron II? How were Bittersteel, Bloodraven and Shiera Seastar involved? Is Young Griff a Blackfyre? What do the Blackfyre Rebellions mean for the fate of the Iron Throne and Westeros?
