The Life Of Aerys Targaryen 'The Mad King'
King Aerys II Targaryen, popularly called "the Mad King", was the last member of House Targaryen to rule from the Iron Throne. He was formally styled as Aerys of the House Targaryen, the Second of His Name, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm. Although his rule began benevolently, he succumbed to madness and was eventually dethrowned by Lord Robert Baratheon in a civil war. Aerys was infamously murdered by a member of his own Kingsguard, SerJaime Lannister.

Lol I just went to HPFL to see if the voices were the same. I knew I recognized it 😁
Its quite a fascinating tale. I hope one day we see a spin-off series of the Mad King and Robert's Rebellion. What's most interesting about his story is that he wasn't actually born mad and there wasn't one thing that lead to his descent, it was a chain of events and unfortunate coincidences that lead to this. Sure you could say Aerys was a emotionally unstable but many people are like that and they don't go mad.
Jamie actually wanted to join the King's Gaurd. Cersei initially brought about the idea of him joining so they could be together
Aerys is mad because his lineage is full of multiple instances of incest. Rhaegar, Viserys and Daenerys are Aerys' children. Rhaegar died young, so we don't know if he would go mad later on in his life. Viserys had always been a lil' mad. and as for Daenerys... She's pretty keen on burning cities to the ground sometime in season 6-7, then it went to burning her enemies with dragon fire.. ... ... OMG IS DAENERYS GOING MAD?

I am nothing like Aerys II. I am in fact Tywin Lannister. My country was on the brink of ruin and subjugation and I liberated it, restored it to glory if briefly. My methods were cruel I won't deny but the results speak for themselves. I did terrible things for the sake of my people not for my own sake.
I have never seen game of thrones but I love listening to you read to me of the history of this mythical kingdom.

I think Joffrey is worse. Imagine what he would do if Margery had that many miss carriages. I definitely wouldn't stay faithful. Furthermore, beheading Ned was his idea of mercy and he also killed him to torture Sansa. Joffrey would've done a lot more terrible things if it weren't for Tyrion and Tywin. If Joffrey didn't have Tywin's support the seven kingdoms would've rebelled faster than they did against Aerys. Joffrey was a terrible human being ever since he was very young but Aerys' madness was because of circumstances.

Great video! I was confused when you talked about his parents because the game of thrones wiki says he is the son of Aegon the fifth instead of his grandson, but the book wiki does say he is the grandson. So I'm wondering if the wiki is wrong or if the show retconned it, if it did it was probably to make the familyrelationship with Maester Aemon less complicated. Since Aerys' parents don't have a role in the show.
