So if the the first tale about Lann the clever is to be believed, he was basically a Scooby Doo villain.

[jackpfefferkorn]

GRRM has also said he regrets calling all nobility "lord" rather than calling minor nobility "duke" or "baron" or something to make their rank more clear.

Damn, if the hightower was taller than the wall the hightowers must take hours climbing stairs unless they build an elevator

[sshyiam]

Other Houses:we made a sword from comets, we built the strongest castles, We Married a god

Frey’s:We Built A Bridge and also we caused a mini downfall off the starks

[lonestarwolfentertainment]

Is it really hard to believe that Brandon The Builder’s lifespan was expanded by his interactions with The Children Of The Forrest?

[nomad]

Sometimes I wish A song of ice and fire was adopted into animation so they don't cut as much stuff like they are doing in the show. There is so much epic shit that the show-runners either have no 'budget' for or no time to include!

[yooringonghan]

when you realize Highgarden was much more fab in the books

Old Town is still the richest city in Westeros. King's Landing is larger but poorer.

I think you can consider House Velaryon to be a great house in the first 2 centuries of the Targaryen dynastie. They married frequently with the Targaryen and were usually Master of Ships. At the time of the dance of the dragons Corlys Velaryon was said to be the wealthiest man in the seven kingdoms and his house with him

I work with a tier system:

Tier 1: royals & regional overlords (Targ, Lannister, etc.)

Tier 2: major vassals (Karstark, Frey, Blackwood, etc.)

I consider tier 1 and 2 great houses.

Tier 3: minor vassals, houses with hereditary positions (Cassel, Baelish until recently, Seaworth)

Tier 4: People with a title, but no land or position to pass on (every hedgeknight, Bronn until WoW)

A change usually needs a generation or two to manifest.

I honestly think Bran The Builder did live as long as he did through the Children Of The Forest’s magic

[Awesomebaconman]

House...of High Tower?

By God, only a genius would name their house such a beautiful name.

[johnnyskinwalker]

Man House Baelish's sigil is awesome! A knight's face with a steel helmet on and flames coming out of his eyes.

[MrDoob-xosm]

there are great houses but there are great channels as well.

I nominate this channel to be one of the great ones.

[marking]

now that i think of it.. they made bran like peter baelish in the final season. bran uses chaos to climb the ladder to end up as a king.

[arnopillods]

Westeros feudality : The King --> The Intendents (Starks, Tyrell) --> The bannermen (Hightower, Bolton) ---> Smaller Lords (Rowan, Velaryon, etc) ---> Landlords (Osgris, Tyssier)

[sethritchie]

whycreate+ the first Stark or the founder is Bran the Builder, pretty poetic then that most likely the last Stark(male) would be called Bran the Broken.
Bran built House Stark and Bran broke House Stark.

[melkormedia]

How did Bran the builder produce so many buildings in his life time? Usually a castle or cathedral architect never sees just one creation finish

[damanbrook]

I can’t express how much I absolutely love these videos, awesome, whycreate keep up the good work my man

[himesilva]

I just realized what House Bolton's banner was
....lovely
