Prince Aemon the Dragonknight (Part 2)

History Of Westeros
About this episode

The story of Prince Aemon the Dragonknight was too big for us to fit in one episode, but he wasn't too big for the cage that House Wyl put him in... which is where we left you hanging, with Aemon hanging over that pit of vipers. In this episode we discuss his rescue, and his rescue of his rescuer. This is his time as Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, the era of King Baelor the Blessed, then Aemon's own father King Viserys II, then his unworthy brother Aegon IV with his beloved sister Naerys as Queen... and finally, his heroic death.
