Baelor Breakspear (part 1)

Baelor Breakspear (part 1)

Author: History of Westeros February 20, 2026 Duration: 2:05:36

In this episode, we explore the early life of Baelor Breakspear. He was born when Aegon the Unworthy sat the Iron Throne and Aemon the Dragonknight was Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, an interesting time to say the least! We discuss his time growing up alongside Daemon Blackfyre, the unusual marriage his father made for him, and how he earned his nickname.
