The Entire Game Of Thrones Timeline Explained

About this episode

This overview chronicles the expansive history of Westeros, beginning with the ancient era when the Children of the Forest and the First Men united to repel the White Walkers. The narrative transitions to the Andal invasion and the subsequent rise of the Valyrians, whose dragon-taming abilities eventually led to Aegon the Conqueror establishing the Targaryen dynasty. Centuries of royal succession, internal civil wars like the Dance of the Dragons, and the eventual Baratheon rebellion set the stage for the modern conflict seen in the series. The summary highlights the resurrection of dragons by Daenerys Targaryen and the secret lineage of Jon Snow as pivotal factors in the final struggle for the Iron Throne. Ultimately, the timeline concludes with the defeat of the Night King and the dissolution of the Targaryen line, resulting in a new political order for the Seven Kingdoms.
