I burst out laughing when you talked about House Bolton and said, " These MFs are vile !" Yes, they are very vile.

[dakotacognion]

Correction, House Hightower are still around in the main series, they just don't play a major role in the story other than Mace Tyrell's wife, who is a Hightower.

[oliverwatson]

The Targaryens were only a minor family in Valyria

[livaulrika]

The Tyrells didn't go extinct! Margaery still has two other brothers.

[drewlabourene]

Just a note for the Baratheons, they were not only the allies of the Targaryen’s in the beginning, but they were also distantly related to one another. Half brothers or cousins, were Aegon the Conquer, and the Lord Baratheon, at the time; I can’t quite recall which. But it’s part of the reason why the Baratheon’s are so hot blooded. 1:25

[rafaelvieira]

The phrase "A Lannister always pays his debts" originates only after Tywin Lannister destroys house Reyne.

[MrLuchenkov]

House Tully is a good testament to how a house can survive without necessarily being the strongest, through a bit of guile, a lot of diplomacy and a habit to always be a second-tier "major" house.

[merritteixeira]

Arya killed "every Frey who means a damn thing" so their legacy is at the very least uncertain. If there were any Freys left I imagine Edmure would end their line as payback for kidnapping him.

[christopherharris]

Oberyn Martell’s death still strikes me as one of the most thrilling and gut-wrenching plot points in the whole run of the series, it’s always gonna stick with me

[mr.j]

Torhen Stark bent the knee out of fear of the Long Night, not fear of dragons. He wisely sought out the Dragon Kings as allies against the horrors beyond the Wall.

[brunooftrenzalore]

Targariens were a minor house among 40 others dragonriding families of Valyria.

[daeseongkim]

might want to change title from Every Game of Thrones House Explained in 19 Minutes to The Main Game of Thrones Houses Explained in 19 Minutes, great vid tho

[bigloopsie]

House Hightower has a very interesting role in the books, especially with the upcoming Battle of Blood.

[gauravpz]

You might want to read Fire and Blood. Some of the house descriptions were incorrect or incomplete. Like Orys Baratheon took the sigil and land from House Durrandon when he captured Storms End. House Tyrell didnt become prominent 'over a period of time', they got prominent almost overnight when Aegon I destroyed the line of House Gardener and made Tyrells the protector of the Reach, House Arryn would never have contended against dragons as Visenya and her dragon got Arryn's fealty in a single day when she showed the Arryns how vulnerable their sky fortress was to dragons. And these are just a few.

[noturbusiness]

My knowledge is limited, but I recall hearing someone say that house Hightower is still around during the events of GoT but their standing had falling considerably. Enjoyed the video, learned a good amount from it.

[gabrielamorel]

honestly props to george for coming up with all of this, but more importantly, on all the BOY names he came up with. it's so hard coming up with masculine names yet george was able to come up with THOUSANDS of original names for his characters

[rudielizaa]

the hightower family is actually still around in the books :D loras and margaery's mother (also willas and garlands mother) is a hightower!

[MR.Z]

House Lannister is descendents of Lan the Clever thus making them a First Men house. Down he line one of the Lannister kings only had daughters so his eldest daughter married into an Andal House but their origin still remains as a house that originated from First Men during Age of Heroes.

[KyleYoung-bq]

Dorne was never conquered. They joined the Kingdoms on their own terms.

[andreazapata]

About the Hightowers.. everyone always points out that Margaery’s mother is a Hightower but no one mentions how Jorah’s wife is also a Hightower (Margaery’s aunt) and her expensive taste is what got Jorah into slave trading in the first place 😅
