"Jenny of oldstone" is basically the song in season 8 ep2, before the war. Its a beautiful song❤

Duncan " The Dragonfly Prince" Targaryen. It was sad what happen to Summerhall 😢

[merykhan]

In conclusion, it's always a Baratheon who starts $hit .

[TheLindsayKnudsen]

It’s insane how much drama house Targaryen caused in the mere three hundred years they ruled Westeros when you have houses like house Stark who ruled for over 8, 000 years in the north. It’s insane to think about how badass you would have to be as a family to stay in power that long. Kings of freaking winter indeed.

[fallenaeon]

Aegon II: Is it possible to learn this power? 🥺

Duncan the Small: Not from a family of scheming power grabbers 👀

High In the house of the king who is gone. Jenny would call for his ghost

[nousername]

The Targaryens are the ones who basically made house Baratheon, I think they need to chill and show some gratitude. At least he gave up the throne instead of marrying her anyway and cheating with the woman he really wanted, THAT would have been disrespect to house Baratheon.

Duncan The Tall and Duncan The
Maester Aemon was talking about Duncan when he looked at Gilly's child and called him Egg, Duncan Egg.

Prince Duncan defeated Ser Barristan Selmy in the tourney at Blackhaven in 247 AC, when Barristan was only a ten-year-old squire and participating in the tourney as a mystery knight. Prince Duncan took pity on the small knight and jousted against him when no one else would, giving Barristan the nickname "the Bold". Years later, in 253 AC, Duncan was defeated by Ser Barristan at a winter tourney in King's Landing.

In 259 AC, Prince Duncan died in the Tragedy at Summerhall along with his father, King Aegon V Targaryen, his namesake Ser Duncan the Tall, and several other members of the royal court.

[bebos]

Btw, this is the Prince who gave a 10 year old Barristan his nickname.

[raynarksatriawibowo]

and then there's rhaegar who ends the dynasty by claiming a baratheon fiancee

[tonyoliva]

The Prince of Dragonflies loved Jenny of Oldstones so much he cast aside a crown, and Westeros paid the bride price in corpses

[gentle]

Remembering that Ancestor of the Baratheon was the half-brother and probably only true friend of Aegon the Conqueror....

" High in the halls of the kings who are gone
Jenny would dance with her ghosts
The ones she had lost and the ones she had found
And the ones who had loved her the most

The ones who'd been gone for so very long
She couldn't remember their names
They spun her around on the damp old stones
Spun away all her sorrow and pain

And she never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave"

Summerhall 💔

[danielhughes]

I love how George used biblical/ancient holy text precedent, and more obviously feudal Europe by having many people of the same first name or a alteration of exact name of their gods

[nickthielemier]

High in the halls of the kings who are gone, Jenny would dance with her ghosts... best of all the asoiaf tunes..

[heekapoo]

Aegon and Betha also tried separating their other two children from marrying eachother and it didn’t work either lol, only their youngest married into house Baratheon.

[cvox]

He got to marry the love of his life and escape the stress and weight of ruling while still living in wealth and comfort as royalty

Honestly when people hear about Duncan they think he gave up power to become a commonor for love, when he actually got the best of both worlds

[marianaborrelli]

Then he died, and Jenny went mad with sorrow

[moonstruxk]

It's always Hightower and Baratheon- they always come back 😭
