Very true and viserys too

For some reason, they keep forgetting the master of war position. I'm fairly certain the first time the position is ever even mentioned in the show is during season 5 when Cersei proclaims herself regent for Tommen. she appoints Qyburn as master of whisperers to replace Varys. And she asks her uncle Kevan to full the position as Master of war. Before he promptly roasts her and leaves.

Because the Master of War is a position invented by the show. There is no such thing as Master of War in the books. The 'Protector of the Realm' is the head of all military affairs. Usually the King is also named 'Protector of the Realm.' There are exceptional circumstances, such as minority or unavailability of the King (i.e. King is wounded or sick), and the Hand of the King is named Lord Protector of the Realm instead.

The seat for military affairs is " Protector of the Realm" and it is held by the King, Hand or Regent.

​@@hammer3721 Cersei as Regent was the Protector of the Realm after Rober's death in the books. But I think even in the show, they sort of hint at master of war being bogus title given by Cersei, trying to make sure Kevan serves on the council but without having any real power.

i must say, this channel is so consistently high in quality across the board. even when it is a GOT storyline or piece of subtext that does not concern my own personal preferences with regard to those things - it is always such interesting content. and this channel has definitely sparked a greater personal interest in some of the topics covered herein. cheers!

"Stannis and Renly had different plans." Yeah and so did Cersi.

I am still baffled by how Joffrey was the king in acting out of control no want to control him and with no one want to take his power away. There are laws that they weren’t following at all. No wonder his small council was a massive embarrassment

5:45 Tyrion did not kill it. He was decent As Hand. Smarter man would use Pycelle to feed Cersei bad information, not throw him in the cell. Pycelle was the most loyal member of the council to Lannister cause. Tyrion suspected Petyr was bad and did nothing about it. He let Varys into his schemes. He should try his best to win Cersei over, many times he was cruel or bad towards her only because he could not control it. He made few good choices, and many bad choices because of his inferiorty complex and arrogance. He had a right to demand Casterly Rock but he could have been diplomatic. Maybe ask if he can be the heir if Jaime refuses. Or asi for a different seat, Lannisters had plenty after Blackwater.

Also the fact that he kidnapped his nephew Prince Tommen before the battle of Blackwater and held his life against one of his whores that Cersei kept hostage. This action is one of the big reasons Tywin is pissed at him during their meeting after the battle.

Yeah Tyrion was smart but he couldn't control his insecurities when it came to his family and hated being disrespected, much like his father and he made many mistakes because of this

Tommen's Small Council is the definition of corruption.

Season two was golden.

Please make a video on Septon Barth. He was the best hand, right?

Could you please do a video on the green grace and the Ghiscari’s beef with Valyrians over the century?!

5:20 FWIW, I remember the word "jackanapes" from the book Prince Caspian, in a similar situation. Miraz (the acting king) was mad at what he perceived as an insult, and was yelling about it to his advisors. I've never gotten around to reading Tolkien, but given how much CS Lewis and GRRM loved his writings, I'm gonna guess that it's tucked away somewhere in one of his books too- I wouldn't be surprised if they got the term from him...

Thanks!

Tyrion's position as Master of Coin was a reward for his leadership in The Battle of Blackwater. That and his marriage to Sansa Stark. Also I doubt Tywin wanted to place the crowns finances in the hands of an ambitious and obviously self interested (and Tyrell interested) person like Mace. The treasury was already in shambles and he needed someone smart to handle it. Mace was not that guy.

Selmy described reply as a jacanapes. ( to sansa) it's an old English expression. Joker or fool . Well dressed fool .

IMO Tyrion is not a very good hand of the king. Instead of using pycelle he puts him in a dungeon when pycelle was an agent of his family. He doesn’t get rid littlefinger even after knowing that littlefinger had framed him from the attempt on bran. Knew he couldn’t trust Varys but kept him around. Actively antagonized his sister and his nephew instead of working with them. The only good things he did was hav bronn as captain of the gold cloaks, since that gives you someone who’ll be somewhat loyal. And his actions at the Blackwater. Other than those 2 he was a rather poor hand of the king.
