"Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly, Rhaegar fought honorably. And Rhaegar died." – Jorah Mormont

One of my favorite passages from the first book, the revenge of Robert Baratheon in the battle of the trident, and the fall of Rhaegar, heir to the Iron Throne and consequentialy, the fall of house Targaryen.
Always loved the description of the rubies falling in the river, naming it "Ruby ford".
Uppon reading the second book, i kinda feel sorry for Rhaegar. He aparently was a good man, not as strong as Robert unfortunately... No one got the girl in the end.

Oh typical Robert
By the way i haven't read any of the books yet so i have to ask: Is Robert's Rebellion in the first book or does the first book start out like it does in the tv show?

Typical Robert indeed.
Robert's rebellion events are mentioned throughout the book series, including this specific scene in the first one when Robert and Eddard are rememering facts from the old war.
The series is very true to the first book, but differences in the narratives begin to appear in the second and third seasons.

Wish we got to see this in the show, but this picture does enough justice.

Awesome:O
When I read the book, I imagined the Battle of Trident something like that. Man, Rhaegar's face impression is just priceless.
Great work:thumbsup:

Thank you!
In my internet search about Rhaegar for reference, i discovered that he is always pictured as a romantic prince model. Always with his silver harp, long silver hair looking to the horizon.
He is decribed as beautifull in the book, but this is game of thrones! George R Martin always but something gruesome on the way of idilic utopias. So, i thought that it would be fitting to make his last moments mach the tone of the series. Bloody and painfull.

If that mean something: You have right and you did good. Game of Thrones isnt a childish fairy tale. It's a sometimes brutal... sometimes dark tale, about human nature, ofcourse in a fantasy world.
