House Selmy Of Harvest Hall: Complete History & Lore | House Of The Dragon / ASOIAF History & Lore

House Selmy of Harvest Hall is one of the most distinguished noble houses of the Stormlands, with a history closely connected to the greatest knights and most important conflicts in Westeros. In this video, we explore the history of House Selmy, its ancestral seat in the Dornish Marches and the extraordinary life of its most famous member, Ser Barristan Selmy, better known as Barristan the Bold. From his remarkable beginnings as a young mystery knight to his legendary victory over Maelys the Monstrous during the War of the Ninepenny Kings, we examine how Barristan became one of the greatest warriors in the history of the Kingsguard. We’ll explore his daring rescue of King Aerys II Targaryen during the Defiance of Duskendale, his role in Robert’s Rebellion and his complicated loyalty to the kings he served. We then follow Barristan through the events of A Game of Thrones, his humiliating dismissal by King Joffrey Baratheon and his journey across the Narrow Sea to serve Daenerys Targaryen. Drawing upon George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire, we examine Barristan’s enduring legacy, his struggle between honour and duty, and his crucial role in Daenerys’s campaign in Slaver’s Bay.

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.

Unfortunately mistakes do happen as work gets reposted without credit all the time making narrowing down the original source a challenge. https://shorturl.at/nAOU7 ------------------------------------- TAGS ------------------------------------ #gameofthrones #asoiaf #houseofthedragon #hbogameofthrones #asongoficeandfire #got #fireandblood #danceofdragons #windsofwinter
