History Of The Lands Of Ice And Fire Quiz

Answer: The Dance Of Dragons

This war, known as the The Dance Of Dragons, resulted in the crowning of the son of Rhaenyra Targaryen, Aegon III the Dragonbane. Many dragons were killed in this war including Vhagar, the last of Aegon the Conqueror's three dragons.

Answer: Dorne

Aegon was not able to conquer Dorne. King Dorian Targaryen conquered Dorne, but this conquest lasted only a fortnight. Dareon's brother, King Baelor the Blessed, made peace with Dorne and married his cousin Dorian II to Myria Martell. When Dorian II became the king he married his sister to the Prince of Dorne and after that Dorne joined the rest of the Seven Kingdoms.

Answer: Durran Godsgrief

The legends say that Durran Godsgrief married Eleni, the daughter of god of the sea and goddess of the wind. In a rage the gods sent a storm to destroy Dorian and his family. Durran declared war on the gods and raised six castles, each more formidable than the previous one and eventually he raised Storm's End. Storm's End has never yielded.

Answer: Orys Baratheon

Orys Baratheon was a general in the army of Aegon the Conqueror. During the conquest, Orys slew the last storm king Agillac the Arrogant, married his daughter, took the sigil and words of House Durrandon and formed the House Baratheon. He was rumored to be half-brother to Aegon the Conqueror and his only true friend.

After the Conquest, he became the first Hand of the King. Aegon the Conqueror describes him as "my shield, my stalwart, my strong right hand". The Baratheon sigil is a crowned stag, black, on a golden field.

Their words are "Ours is the Fury".

Answer: Blackfyre

Blackfyre was a valyrian steel sword, twin to Dark Sister (wielded by Aegon's sister-wife Visenya). After Aegon every Targaryen king wielded it until King Dareon passed it to his bastard son Daemon. It is not known where it currently is.

Answer: Balerion the Blackdread

Balerion the Blackdread was one of three dragons that Aegon and his sisters used in the War of Conquest, the other two being Vhagar and Maraxes. Sunfyre the Golden was the dragon of Aegon II, described in Martin's novella "The Princess and the Queen" as "the most magnificent dragon that ever soared the skies of Westeros". Balerion died of old age, Meraxes in Dorne, while Sunfyre and Vhagar were killed in the Dance of Dragons.

Answer: Sir Gerrold Hightower

Sir Gerrold was the Lord Commander of Kingsguard, known as the White Bull due to his immense strength. He was killed, along with his companions, Sir Arthur Dayne (the sword of the morning) and Sir Oswell Whent, by Lord Eddard Stark and his six companions while guarding Lyanna Stark at the Tower of Joy in Dorne.

Answer: Ser Jaime Lannister

Jaime Lannister, one of the members of the Kingsguard, killed Aerys at the end of Robert Baratheon's Rebellion. This earned him the title "Kingslayer".

Answer: The Giant's Lance

The Eyrie is regarded as an impregnable castle because of its location. To invade it one has to overcome the Bloody Gate and the Gates of the Moon, and then climb up a steep pathway.

Answer: Robert Baratheon

After the death of Robert Baratheon, Stannis and Renly Baratheon, his younger brothers, claimed the Iron Throne on the basis that Joffery was not Robert's son. Robb Stark and Balon Greyjoy claimed the thrones of The North and The Iron Islands respectively.

This central conflict was known as the "War of Five Kings" although the maesters claim that Renly Baratheon had been assassinated before Blaon Greyjoy rose in rebellion, so it never actually was a war of five kings.
