Battle Above The God's Eye (Dance Of The Dragons) Game Of Thrones History & Lore

Queen Rhaenrya Targaryen haad called for the head of the dragonseed Nettels which in turn had put Daemon Taragaryen in a difficult position. Does he obey his wife the queen or hand over the young girl. His choice would lead to the most famous battle in the dance of the dragons. The battle above the god's eye. Where Daemon would face off against Aemond One Eye and mighty Vhagar.

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 Geroge R R Martins 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.

Much of the information in the video comes directly from Fire & Blood, with supplementary additions from the wiki and myself to enhance the narrative. I would highly recommend you pick up a copy of fire and blood and read it for yourself as it is criminally underrated.

The problem between Aemond and Daemon in this battle was that Daemon knew he would die which is why he was ok with leeping from one dragon to another to slay Aemond, who was expecting to come out of this battle alive because of the two previous engagements he had with Rhaeneys and Lucerys. He was way too confident that he would come out on top.

[phillipallmon]

It is just so poetic to me that Aemond was found strapped to Visenya’s Dragon with her sword driven through his face

[shaunwallace]

HBO better not screw this up. This has the potential to be one of the greatest scenes in TV history

Edit: Now after seeing what they did with Blood and Cheese I have my reservations

[loslobos]

Damon's death is literally the best death in all of GOT the show better do it justice.

[mysteryjunkie]

Daemon battle IQ was so far ahead of Aemonds used Speed, the Sun, and the Blind Spot to his advantage. Also killing him with the sword a few sweet moments of victory before his death. I think Daemon went in knowing he was a dead man so he was going to take Aemond with him. Aemond was arrogant enough to think it was going to be a easy win when it wasn’t

[amaury_off]

If Daemon really died, he truly chose the most badass way to go.

[titusdaniel]

6 men or is still Daemon Targaryan. Shows how much people respect him
Can't wait to see all these in the show, even though I know what happens I think I'll still shed a tear or two😪
All these deaths for that damned Iron Throne

[hitrapperandartistdababy]

“You have lived too long uncle”

“On the much, we agree”

Just iconic and will be even more so in the future

[justinstephens]

"On that much we agree." Y'know Daemon certainly wasn't a good guy, but I think age wizened him and made him realize the many follies of his life. I really hope the show goes far enough in showing how he develops as a character throughout his life

[johnvalentine]

I know alot of people want Daemon to actually survive this battle but honestly it's better that he dies it makes his final act seem more heroic and would be better than somehow surviving the fall and just living his life in peace

[freebird]

HBO will be damned to the seventh hell if they fuck up this fight. Everything has to be absolutely perfect, the grand cinematography of the dragons in the sunset above the lake and the moment they hit the water, the epic score foreboding the ominous end of all four combatants, and that final kill of Daemon skewering Aemond right through his blind eye. It'll be the greatest duel in all GOT since Cleganebowl or Oberyn vs Gregor.

[keeganshigh]

These dragons were once the best of friends, flying and dancing together for decades and then they killed each other. I wonder what they were thinking?

[blazeblade]

I think it would be cool If daemon survives the fall gets out of the lake and lay beside Caraxes laughing one last time before he dies with his most trusted friend

[joneilbaygan]

I am awaiting for this scene in the series. Though the first I watched this Battle, I was with the Greens, then, with Aemon One eye because he was Vhagar's rider. But since the House of the Dragon started, I am now with the Blacks, hence, with the Rogue Prince Daemon.

[kronoscamron]

Vhagar is great and all but caraxes is legendary.
Fierce, blood red, mutant, serpentine, had wings on his legs and as wild and dangerous as his rider. While vhagar is ummm...big
RIP caraxes.

[storm-from-]

One doesn't need to be a genius to know this was a suicide mission by Daemon.
He purposefully didn't saddle himself to Caraxes.
Aemond was proud and overconfident, he expected to survive, that's why he saddled himself to Vhagar.
When Vhagar clawed Caraxes belly open, Daemon would have known he was surely done, but he was never going to let Aemond live.
I see this as a victory for Daemon, because he achieved his goal by removing Aemond from the equation.
Aemond was a mad dog, causing mayhem wherever he went.

[carlosdiaz]

This will be one of the most hyped battles in TV history.

[bobbyhall]

The on that we agree line after aemond tells him he's lived to long is straight fire!!

[dashawndavison]

I find rhaenyra's order to kill nettles to be a bit odd, she knew who her husband was so why was she so angry. I can't wait to see audience take on this when the show airs

[JoseGonzalez-pnzl]

Man can’t wait to see this play out in the show hopefully it just as epic. It’s going to be a sad day because I’m really come to like Daemon alot by listening to your videos. I wonder what would of happen if Deamon survived he would easy help take down the greens.
