House of the Dragon - Tourney Jousting Episode 1

Jousting in house of the dragon #houseofthedragon #gameofthrones

I love how the tournament celebrating the baby's birth is an analogy for the delivery. It starts nice and dignified, but becomes more messy and underhanded as time goes on, culminating in a death i.e. some guy's skull gets caved in around the same time the baby and mother die.

[sarven]

I like how all of the other knights are wearing realistic/historical ish medieval armour while Daemon is just riding in his fantasy impracticality XD

[UsmanKhan-tkvg]

Lmao. Corlys face when Daemon picks Otto’s son. He knew some shit was gonna go down

[GameTavern]

"Start the Damn Joust before I piss meself"

[adrianng]

Yooo, even house Bolton got some sweet armour

[mavirr_crazylittlegirl]

I like how Rhaenyra and Alicent are just there chilling and gossiping

2:16 based blackfyre supporter bravely stands directly in front of the king (colourised)

Crazy to me that Daemon trips a horse like that, and everyone (I'm talking about viewers) have no problem with that lack of sportsmanship

[MaxwellAerialPhotography]

Now this is a joust. This was so fantastic look and just oozes authenticity of atmosphere and aesthetic.

[philippeblais]

Surprised a Bolton would be competing as a knight in a tourney. Considering the northerners have very few knights in their ranks. The Bolton in question appearing when Daemon is choosing who to joust against.

Weird that Rhaenys calls Boremund Baratheon ‘cousin’ when he’s her uncle (her mother is Jocelyn Baratheon, his sister - and both of them younger half-siblings to the old king Jaehaerys whose death put Viserys on the throne).

[michaelc]

Anyone also noticed how Viserys wears his crown wrong way in some shots? The Targaryen sigil should be in front, but here it's opposite. 1:00

[nikolaosboukouvalas]

I know accidents happened in jousts and people died but...this was downright murder. Jousting was supposed to be a sport that trained the young aristocracy for war. There were rules. The guy who tripped the horse would be disqualified and a young aristocrat gets murdered with an axe an no one cares? His family is fine with that?

[Garl_Vinland]

Tyrell's be rockin that Erdtree style

[thedoctor]

This set the bar high for all the jousting tournaments in the upcoming Knight of the Seven Kingdoms show. The Trial By Seven at Ashford Meadow needs to be even more epic and graphic (esp. when a certain character removes their helmet and everyone sees what happens when you take a few too many mace blows to the head).

[MichaelHayesagent]

Pretty cool but sad to see the jousting tournament at the height of the kingdom in a stone stadium vs in GOT where the jousting tournaments are in a rickety wooden stand and the attention to quality and standards are no longer there.

[JohnnyRico]

Jousting? A fancy game for fancy lads.

[magnusthered]

He definitely needs a different helmet for jousts

[pmkq]

2:41 Prince's helmet reminds me of Blood Dragons from Warhammer/The Vampire Counts. ^_^

Why is the herald dressed in the COLORS OF HOUSE
