House Manwoody: Complete History & Lore | Dorne | House Of The Dragon / ASOIAF Explained & Analysis

Details

Description

House Manwoody of Kingsgrave is one of the most intriguing noble houses in Dorne, with a history steeped in warfare, loyalty, and legend. Nestled in the Prince’s Pass of the Red Mountains, their seat has long served as a key defensive stronghold against invasions into Dorne from the Reach and the Stormlands. Known for their striking banner—a crowned white skull on a black field—House Manwoody’s origins are tied to ancient kings, fierce battles, and the slaying of a monarch that gave Kingsgrave its name. From their early days as petty kings defeated by Nymeria of the Rhoynar, to their steadfast service as bannermen to House Martell, the Manwoodys played a vital role in resisting Targaryen conquest during the First Dornish War. Figures such as Michael Manwoody, a cultured knight and royal envoy, highlight the house’s deep connections to Westerosi politics. In the events of A Storm of Swords, Lord Dagos Manwoody, Ser Myles, and his sons travel with Oberyn Martell to King’s Landing, bearing witness to the infamous trial by combat between the Red Viper and Ser Gregor Clegane. This video explores House Manwoody’s history, heraldry, and legacy, uncovering the truth behind one of Dorne’s most enduring and mysterious families.

The Script Of This Video uses information from The World Of Ice & Fire (2014), Fire & Blood (2018) and The A Song Of Ice And Fire Main Series. 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.

If you see art in any video that has been attributed incorrectly please send me a email so i can fix it, i feel it is vitally important to credit artists, especially with the rise of Ai Art. Unfortunately mistakes do happen as work gets reposted without credit all the time making narrowing down the original source a challenge.
