In 258 AD, nine murderers formed an alliance in the mainland of El Soto, and they vowed to build a kingdom for each of the nine people. The last "cruel" Maris was one of the members of this nine-member team. At that time, the iron throne was held by Egon V. His eldest son, Prince Duncan, had a famous saying to the nine-member group: "Nine crowns only sell nine bronze." Since then, in Westeros, people have called the Nine Men the King of Nine Bronzes.
259AC Egon V, bent on bringing the dragon back to earth, regardless of dissuasion, celebrated the birth of his great-grandson regal in midsummer hall. He prepared seven dragon eggs and tried to hatch them with wildfire. The runaway fire led to the tragedy in the summer hall. The king himself, Prince Duncan, Captain Sir Duncan, the "tall" Kingsguard, and Dr. Gedan were all killed in the fire. Jervis II, who had just ascended the throne, was immediately threatened by the Nine-member Regiment.
The Nine-Man Army has occupied the stone steps between Tirosi and the disputed land and Westeros. Jerry II decided to conquer, Westeros national mobilization. This time, the lineup against Black Fire is unprecedentedly strong. Look at these figures who were teenagers at that time, and you can imagine: Prince Iriz, the son of the king (later Iriz II), Stephen of the Baratheon family, Tywin of the Lannister family, the young Duke of Horst Tully, Horst's younger brother "Blackfish" Brynden, the new Kingsguard captain "White Bull" Sir Jerome Hightower, and the heir of Harvest Hall, Sir Barristan Selmi.
The commander of Targaryen's army was Mond Baratheon, who was in the hands of the king at that time, but he was soon killed in the battle and died in the arms of his son Stephen. His successor is "White Bull" Heita. Finally, Balistan confronted Maris, who was "fierce", and the "fearless" Balistan beheaded Maris with his high-energy martial arts.
For the evaluation of the war itself, we borrow the words of Friar Meribad:
But the far-reaching significance of this war was only highlighted in the decades after the war.
Only three years later, Iriz II Targaryen II ascended the throne. He grew up with Stephen of Baratheon family and Tywin of Lannister family, and forged a deep friendship in the battle of Nine Copper Kings. In the early days of Iriz II's rule, the three men cooperated happily and the country was stable and harmonious. Later, when Stephen was killed, the rift between Iriz and Tywin kept widening, and eventually it got out of hand.
Duke Tully became friends with Littlefinger's father in this war, so petyr baelish entered Riverrun and became the adopted son of Duke Tully, growing up with his two daughters and one son. The child later fell in love with the eldest daughter of the duke, slept with the youngest daughter, and then disturbed the whole political situation in Westeros by himself.
Sir "Fearless" Barristan gave up his inheritance after the war and took the oath to join the Kingsguard. This brave knight later saved the king in the Twilight Valley rebellion, joined regal in the Battle of Trident River, and became the captain of Kingsguard after "White Bull", but the object of loyalty has become robert baratheon. After Robert's death, Cersei and Joffrey dismissed him and drove him across the ocean to Malone.
By the end of Iriz II's reign, this "grand alliance of governors" became more and more disturbing to the king. The most intuitive manifestation of the unification of princes is marriage and adoption. Let's take a look at the marriage and adoption between princes in Iriz's later period-including the attempted marriage: Donne's Martray family planned to marry Lannister, but failed; Ilya of Donne finally married Rega, but Iriz even doubted his own son. Tully's parents are engaged to Stark's eldest son; Horst Tully and tywin lannister are still discussing the marriage of Zhan Mu and Lysa; Stark sent his second son to eyrie to be the adopted son of Lord Arryn with Robert Baratheon. -This is the biggest bannerman in Westeros. No wonder Iriz is unhappy.
As for the battle of the Nine Copper Kings itself, every historical document claims that the Black Fire of Maris was the last black fire, and the blood of the Black Fire family was cut off.
-But is that really the case?
This time, I finally want to mention a familiar figure, Varis the spider with eight claws.
Friends who only watch TV dramas may really think that he is a "good eunuch who benefits the country and the people." -TV series had to wash eunuchs like this because two important lines were cut off. Let's put these two lines aside first. Let's start with the original Rivaris.
In fact, in the book, Varis told different people many times that he was a good man for the country and the people. However, in the book Fire and Ice, it seems that we have been reminded by different characters, and the words are like the wind. So don't look at what he said, look at what he did. -What did Varis do?
Aside from his early experiences, let's see what he has done since he came to Westeros.
Varis came to the court of Iriz II, and the background was that crazy Wang Yue became more and more suspicious. Not only did he distrust Wen Tai, but he even doubted his wife and son. During Varis's tenure as the intelligence chief of the mad king, the most important thing was to provoke the relationship between Iriz and regal.
At the Heronburg Tournament Conference, Iriz experienced the Twilight Valley Rebellion at that time, and he was too scared to leave the gate of Hongbao for several years. Wallis told him that Regal would take this opportunity to contact the princes for rebellion. -Do you remember the tournament in White Wall City? The second wave of black fire rebellion? Varis's rhetoric is new wine in old bottles.
In the first volume, Er Ya heard the plot between Varis and Illyrio in the underground of the Red Castle, the main purpose of which was to prevent the Wolf clan and the Lion clan from playing too fast. -Attention, it's not that you don't play, you can't play too early.
Later, after the War of the Five Kings, Lord Wen Tai sat in King's Landing, and the lion and the rose formed an alliance. At this time, the main task should be to stabilize the situation, which is not difficult for Lord Wen Tai. So Lord Tywin had to die, and Varis induced Tyrion to kill him. Of course, Zhan Mu confessed to Tyrion about Tessa, which was an accident. It is better to make Tyrion angry with +3000. Without this accident, Varis has prepared Shay in Tywin's bedroom.
Tywin died, Varis disappeared, even the jailer he pretended to be disappeared, but he left a unique trick: a gold coin to frame the rose.
Varis appeared in the book for the last time and killed Pycelle and Kefeng. Ke Feng is Tai Wen's younger brother and a man with the ability to stabilize the situation.
-Are these actions for the country and the people? I'm afraid it won't be messy? Only people like Cersei Joffrey are in power, and the country will be in chaos. This is his purpose.
Come on, analyze it: he provoked Iriz and Regal, which means he is not a fan of the Dragon Family; Did not stop Cersei from killing Robert, indicating that he is not deer powder; With Tyrion's hand, he killed Tywin, and later he personally killed Ke Feng and Pycelle, which shows that he is not a fan of lions either. A gold coin framed Tilea, which shows that he is not a rose fan. Who does he like?
The profits that messed up Westeros are outside Westeros. Then we have two choices left: Dragon Mother and Little Egon.
The dragon mother can be ruled out immediately, because when Robert was alive, Varis was looking for a killer to kill her. On this line, Varis and his partner Illyrio can't keep up with the changes. It should be roughly that they intend to let Viserys find khal drogo to attack Westeros, and then abolish them first. As a result, Viserys died and killed Dany instead. At that time, khal drogo is likely to fight for revenge. Khal is dead, too. Dany made three dragons, changed her plan and asked little Egon to marry Dany. ...
Speaking of little Egon, I have to mention the line that was cut from the TV series.
The two lines completely cut off in the TV series, one is the little Egon line and the other is the Dorne line. As for the Donne Line, here we know that Prince Dao Lang is not dead, but playing a big game of chess, which is enough.
So who is little Egon?
According to Varis's own account, when King's Landing was breached, he replaced regal's son Egon with a farmer's child in advance and secretly sent the child out.
I don't think this statement is very credible. Why do you worry about those things? Really? Did you just kill Iriz and let Regal take the lead?
Little Egon with silver hair and purple eyes was trained as a king from an early age. His mentor, Jon Clinton, is a good friend of regal and has also taught him about language and religion. In the book, little Egan once listened to the arrangement and wanted to marry the dragon mother. On the way, Tyrion fooled him and decided to counterattack Westeros immediately. The point is: the gold company works for him!
Look back at Varis. Roll a Caitlin POV, which he described when he first appeared.
The man who came in was plump, pink and his head was as smooth as an egg.
-This egg is very learned! When Egon V was a teenager, he served as the squire of long Sir Duncan. To hide Targaryen's identity, he shaved his head. In addition, Geng Yi V was renamed Egg.
Wallis told Tyrion about his early experiences. I ran around with the troupe for the first time when I was a child. Later, someone paid a high price for him, then cut off his penis and threw it into the fire. It should be The Hunger, and then he was useless and abandoned. Later, he mixed with thieves and gangsters, became friends with Illyrio, and found that cheating was more valuable than stealing other things. Finally, his business grew bigger and bigger, and he became famous at home and abroad. It was only when Iriz invited him to become an intelligence leader.
-First of all, when it comes to burning things, you think of Yimei first, right? She wants to burn Robert's illegitimate child, and later she wants to burn Mance Reed (the king beyond the Great Wall). She was fascinated by the power of the king's blood. Wallis may be of king's blood.
-Second, Varis was educated. You know, in this world of ice and fire, in this set era, many lords may be illiterate.
Maris may be the last male descendant of the Black Fire family, but what about women? At that time, Han Tie's wife was the daughter of Damon Black Fire I.
-So the conclusion is that Varis and Xiao are probably descendants of the hidden black fire!
