Doran Martell: The Vengeance Of Dorne | House Of The Dragon / ASOIAF History & Lore Explained

In this video week take a deep dive into Prince Doran Martell, the quiet and cautious ruler of Dorne, is often underestimated in George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. Yet behind his frail body, wracked by gout, lies one of the most calculating minds in all of Westeros. In this video, we explore the full story of Doran Martell—from his childhood in Sunspear and the Water Gardens, to his secret plans for vengeance against House Lannister for the murder of his sister Elia Martell and her children during Robert’s Rebellion. We dive into Doran’s relationships: his love match with Mellario of Norvos, his children Arianne, Quentyn, and Trystane Martell, and the fiery Sand Snakes, Oberyn’s daughters who constantly test his patience and restraint. We also unravel his long-hidden plot to ally House Martell with the Targaryens through Viserys and later Daenerys Targaryen, his role during the War of the Five Kings, and how Oberyn’s death at the hands of the Mountain forced him to reveal his hand at last. Often called weak by his enemies, Doran proves instead to be the grass that shelters the viper, patiently waiting for the perfect strike.

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.
