House Martell: Complete History | Dorne: History and Lore | House Of The Dragon / ASOIAF Explained

House Martell is one of the most powerful and culturally unique noble houses in Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire. Wwe explore the origins of House Nymeros Martell of Sunspear, tracing their roots through the marriage of Lord Mors Martell and Princess Nymeria. Learn how the Martells shaped Dorne into a principality with its own customs, including gender-equal succession and the distinctive title of Prince or Princess of Dorne. From Nymeria’s War to the unification of Dorne, to their resistance against Aegon the Conqueror during the First Dornish War, the Martells remained unbowed, unbent, unbroken. This video uncovers their pivotal roles in major events including the Targaryen conquest, the Dance of the Dragons, and the Blackfyre Rebellion. Explore how their steadfast independence eventually led to Dorne joining the Seven Kingdoms through diplomacy, not conquest. We'll also delve into House Martell’s quiet rage after the brutal deaths of Elia Martell and her children, and how Oberyn Martell’s quest for vengeance shaped later events.

The ASOIAF Wiki has been used to confirm order of events and clarify discrepancies between sources. George R.R. Martin's blog posts have also been used as a source and like the wiki i to do consider this information canon. Any similarity of this video to the structure of these sources is a consequence of the subject matter of the video and limited sources dictating the way in which events played out with no room for interpretation. In some areas it can be very difficult to make the script 100% different as stated in the sources without just making it up which isn't the point of these videos. There are places it's more similar to the sources than i like but with no way to really spin it a different way, given in many case, it's physically the only way to approach the subject. Information strictly from the TV show has not been used in these video unless stated otherwise. 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 George R R Martin's 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. ----------------------------------------------- SOCIAL MEDIA ------------------------------------------------   / world0fwesteros     / dylan_ellcome     / worldofwesteros   ----------------------------------------------- ART LINKS ----------------------------------------------- The following link is for all the art that I use, if you see an image in this video a link to the source of it will be there, and the name of the artist if it's possible to find.
