GRRM has released a new sample from 'World of Ice and Fire', the GoT digest, focusing on Aegon I Targaryen, the founder of the once ruling Targaryen dynasty, with some interesting historical information on House Targaryen and details on how Aegon conquered the Seven Kingdoms. A must read for any Targaryen bannerman, surely! The most interesting excerpt I find is the following : A common myth, oft heard amongst the ignorant, claims that Aegon Targaryen had never set foot upon the soil of Westeros until the day he set sail to conquer it, but this cannot be true. Years before that voyage, the Painted Table had been carved and decorated at Lord Aegon’s command: a massive slab of wood, some fifty feet long, carved in the shape of Westeros and painted to show all the woods and rivers and towns and castles of the Seven Kingdoms. Plainly, Aegon’s interest in Westeros long predated the events that drove him to war. As well, there are reliable reports of Aegon and his sister Visenya visiting the Citadel of Oldtown in their youth, and hawking on the Arbor as guests of Lord Redwyne. He may have visited Lannisport as well; accounts differ. Read the rest at http://www.georgerrmartin.com/world-of-ice-and-fire-sample/ |
