( ACT III, Scene 2 )
The scene: under the walls of Blackhaven, Aegon's army falters. Aegon draws his sword and presents it before his men.
AEGON: Forward, men, forward! Are thou not warriors? Sons of victory and fathers of glory? Have thou any spirit? Stand, Westerosi, whose Andal blood of your fathers conquered these lands. These fathers, like Garth Greenhand, who have fought and won here great victories that put our dragon blood to shame.
Do not dishonor your mothers, wives and sisters, and show that you are of the same mettle of those who fathered you. Stormlander, unsheath your sword. Reacher, draw your bow. Crownlander, pick up your shield. Victory awaits beyond these walls. Sons of glory, follow your spirit, charge and hail 'For the King, Queen, House Targaryen and the Warrior'!
[Cheers and hurrahs, Enter BENJEN, GARETH and MORION]
BENJEN: Let us go, into the breach!
GARETH: Glory awaits us indeed!
MORION: Our King is brave and just, but mine legs do not follow. Go forth, friends, I cannot bear to enter the halls of death.
BENJEN: The halls of death are no more than a corridor to the hall of glory and riches. Come, forth!
GARETH: Let us bathe in the glory and drink in the songs.
[Enter CAPTAIN]
CAPTAIN: Into the breach, now! Move, you dogs!
[CAPTAIN urges the three forwards]
GARETH: Warrior, grant me your strength. Smith, guide my blade. Mother, grant me your mercy. Stranger, turn elsewhere. For I am a son of the Greenhand, a man of the dragon. I shall not return anything but victorious.
BENJEN: I am a King's man, and I do not know fear. Let us win the day!
MORION: Ah! Seeing the courage of my friends fills my heart with rage. I can no longer face the dishonor of running back to my home. Confidence fills me, and I must now cast my vow with those who have been closer than anyone, if not in blood. Let us go friends, I shall defend you with all my strength and all my heart. Let us, onto the breach!
[Exit BENJEN, GARETH, MORION and CAPTAIN, Trumpets, Fights]
[Enter CONNINGTON, VELARYON]
VELARYON: My lord, you must come to the inner keep, the King awaits!
CONNINGTON: The King is brave, but I must lead my men through this city. It is mine people that I hath to defend, against the baseless lust of men and Dornish alike. My duty is here, my lord.
VELARYON: Aye, your honor and your duty are not in question, but it is another matter. The King commands that you come, for the castellan of the city hath asked for a parley.
CONNINGTON: Parley, you say? Then we hath to put an end to this fighting.
VELARYON: Sound the trumpets, my lord, the day is ours.
CONNINGTON: By the gods! It is truly our gracious King's great victory! His reign will be one of greatness, I thus can see. Let us go, Lord Velaryon, let us go! Sound our victory for all to hear!
[VELARYON and CONNINGTON exit under the sounds of trumpets]
...
Act IV, Scene 10
The scene: After the Battle of Kinrock, in the King's camp.
[Enter VANCE, BLACKWOOD and COLE, bickering]
VANCE: You did not strike Tarly down, that sword you bear cannot be yours by rights!
COLE: Aye, I have been told he was a warrior already when you were but a babe suckling at your mother's teat!
BLACKWOOD: Yet, I have struck him down, sers, it is so!
COLE: You are a liar, ser!
BLACKWOOD: Nay, I swear it on my honor!
VANCE: Do not dare to swear on such a thing! Or have the Northern savages forsworn their honorable tradition?
[Enter VELARYON and HIGHTOWER]
VELARYON: Good sers! What is the matter at hand?
VANCE: My Lord Velaryon, this man is a liar! He claims to have struck down Lord Tarly, when he is but a boy! This sword is not his prize to take, but His Majesty's!
[Enter AEGON VI and CONNINGTON]
AEGON: Now, what is afoot?
VANCE: Your Majesty, the ser in front of you is a vile liar! He claims to have struck down Lord Tarly and taken his sword.
BLACKWOOD: 'tis only but the truth, your majesty. I came ahorse towards him, and stuck him down as truly as possible. Lord Tarly did die by mine own hand, I swear it on my honor.
AEGON: My good sers, if not for Ser Lucas, I would not have been alive today. As I soared into the melee, mine own Kingsguard lost me, and Ser Lucas came to my rescue. He cut down three knights, including Lord Tarly. His strike was good and true, and his prize was his for the taking.
BLACKWOOD: It was an honor to serve you, Your Majesty, for there is no greater cause in the world than yours. I hath told you before that my sword is yours, and thus, as pardon for intruding on your day, accept Tarly's sword as my humble payment for your pardon.
AEGON: Connington, be sure to reward this boy with his weight in gold, for he has done today a great service to the Crown. Friend, your sword is yours to keep until your dying days.
BLACKWOOD: Your Majesty could not honor me more, but this sword I must then give away, if it pleases you. A house has lost their sword most foully and would not receive compensation for it. I will carry this sword to Winterfell, and lay it in front of the Stark.
AEGON: You are a kind and just man, ser. Go.
CONNINGTON: Your Majesty, we must talk about the battle.
AEGON: What is it, Ser? Are the dead numbered?
CONNINGTON: Aye, and prisoners, too.
AEGON: Whom are they?
CONNINGTON: Lord Eldon Estermont, Lord of Greenstone, Lord Gilbert Mertyns, Lord of the Rainwood and Lord Mathis Rowan, Lord of Goldengrove, and fifteen hundred more lords, knights and squires.
AEGON: And the dead?
CONNINGTON: Ten thousand slain traitors, Your Grace. In this count, there are five hundred knights and a hundred lords, men of noble birth and of good standing. Randyll Tarly, Lord of Horn Hill, Bryce Caron, Lord of Nightsong, Bonifer Hasty, leader of the Holy Hundred, Tristan Swygert, a bold knight, your own cousins, Ronnet and Raymund Connington, the brave Duncan Osgrey, Imry Florent of Brightwater, Willem Footly of Tumbleton, Brandon Roxton of the Ring, and more knights, Graves and Liscorne, Jarvis and Costayne, Harris and Mossony, Blackbar and Porcet.
AEGON: So many bold and brave names, so many dead. And what of ours?
HIGHTOWER: Prince Oberyn of Dorne, and Ser Daven Peake, a squire. That is all of renown that has fallen. Them and five-and-twenty others lay dead.
AEGON: Thank the heavens and the warrior's hand, their favor was with us on this day. Let us go and rejoice, my lords, for we have won a great victory. Onwards, onwards! But let us also pay respects to the dead. A ceremony, to lay them in earth, and then on to Tumbleton, and King's Landing! Peace and prosperity await us all.
[All exit]
The play 'Aegon VI' by Eddard Spearquiver was a complete success in the realm of Queen Rhaenys I, but much less so in Principality of Dorne. Prince Gerris himself eventually banned the play in Dorne, an act that was only overturned recently. Indeed, 'Aegon VI' vastly ignores the presence of the Dornish in the War for the Crown, relegating only a few background characters to it. As for King Aegon's military exploits, be they the Storming of Blackhaven or the Battle of Kinrock, they have been taken away from Dornish heroes like Quentyn the Victorious, Edric Dayne or Franklyn Fowler.
In fact, 'Aegon VI' came at a time when relations between the Iron Throne and the Sun Throne had started souring during the 'First Cold Period', hence the Dornish being pushed out as characters, in favor of stauncher loyalists like Jon Connington and Monford Velaryon, or loyalists that had not yet professed their loyalty to the Crown, like Baelor Hightower, Lucas Blackwood and Karyl Vance. In fact, the conflict with the Northern Coalition seems to have been completely forgotten in favor of the much more interesting Southern theater, and with most of the lesser-known but no less important fights in the Reach having been relegated to oblivion.
To this day, adaptations of 'Aegon VI' to the big screen have sparked outrage in Dorne, especially in scenes such as the Battle of Kinrock, where, as a reminder, the Dornish foot held the line to avoid being slaughtered, thus seeing the fall of Oberyn Martell and the serious injury of Quentyn the Victorious, and where the Dornish cavalry led by Edric Dayne played such an important role. In these scenes, the Dornish are being reduced to just being auxiliaries in Jon Connington's force, or being led to victory by Aegon VI after they cravenly tried to run back to Dorne. Other quarrels appear notably around the role of Edric Dayne, whether it is in the capture of Blackhaven or the giving of Heartsbane to House Stark.
Recently, the adaptations have also been criticized in Reacher circles, with the over-villanization of personalities such as Randyll Tarly, shown as a bloodthirsty maniac on par with Tywin Lannister, or Margaery Tyrell, depicted as a deadly seductress that schemed her way out of a justful execution.
Nevertheless, 'Aegon VI' remains one of Eddard Spearquiver's hallmark plays, along with 'Hendrik, a play centered around Winterfell and the son of a Jarl that has been killed in mysterious circumstances, 'The Merchant of Braavos', set in the Free City, or even 'Daeron and Baela', set in the First Dance of Dragons and telling of an impossible love between two feuding families.
From An overview of the history behind the plays of Eddard Spearquiver by Archmaester Garth Longhands, 1002 AC.
...
The Dornish had many historical retellings of the campaign in their own ways, in every vessel possible. Of course, one remembers, 'The Three Knights', a tale of three knights from different parts of Dorne: Artos Toland, Perros Blackmont and Arron Qorgyle, who welcome a lower-born into their ranks, an Orphan of the Greenblood named Drey of Shandystone. The novel goes into the factionalism within the ranks of the alliance, with the Dornish, sworn to Quentyn the Victorious, and the Golden Company, sworn to King Aegon VI, all in an atmosphere of war against the Iron Throne, but also against the Northern Coalition, who could well join forces and annihilate the loyalist cause, all thanks to three foes: Lord Blackbar, Lady Uller and the traitorous Ser Roger Peake. Arthur Masts' book is now famous worldwide.
Of course, there are also the big cinematic pictures, but most of these are well-known. Instead, let us focus on a small TV series that had seen no particular attention until recently. It tells of the very little-known Dornish campaign in the Reach, which saw the fall of Nightsong, Starpike, Dunstonbury, Horn Hill and even threatened Oldtown and Highgarden. In the middle of the Marches, the Dornish soldiers were not at home, and it is in this tumultuous scenery that the series 'Sharp' was set.
Rickard Sharp is a lowborn footman, who aspires to become more than just this. He saves Prince Quentyn in an ambush, the latter of whom knights him after another exploit at Blackhaven, and becomes a favorite of his, sending him on missions throughout the Marches with a Reconnaissance Company, along with his second-in-command, the Lysene ex-slave Paenios Maelosyr, then again during the War for the Dawn, in the North, battling the Others, in the Vale, during the Vale Emergency, and, finally in far-flung lands such as Meereen and Yi-Ti, chasing glory and, of course, women.
This series did not have a major impact at the time, but it had the merit of showing little-known theaters of war, and showed how high a man of low birth could rise in the Dornish ranks in the times of the Victorious.
SHARP, EPISODE 2, LORD PEAKE'S BANNER
[The scene: Yronwood, a richly decorated castle. Prince Quentyn sits behind his desk, with Ser Archibald Yronwood behind him, and Ser Desmond Sand to his right. In front, Ser Wyland Wyl stands at attention, with Elaerys Askalenos next to him.]
QUENTYN: Very well. Please resume, Ser Wyland.
WYLAND: Well, my prince, upon sighting the Reachers, I naturally gave the order to advance. That is my style, my prince. The men of the Golden Fleece crossed the bridge and engaged the enemy. Ser Lester Lennox panicked upon seeing the number, thus I fell back in good order and destroyed the bridge, my prince. The supply lines to Nightsong were thus secured from the bandits, and their only route to get to the interior was cut.
[Prince Quentyn continues to write, there is silence]
WYLAND: I have sent a raven to the Golden Company, my prince, to state that the Golden Fleece battalion acted most commendably in carrying out your orders of engaging the enemy and destroying the bridge.
QUENTYN: Did any man, noble or not, distinguish himself during the action?
WYLAND: Ser Gunnard led the advance, my prince. Aye, he is tied to me by blood, I do admit. But as tied he is to my blood; I cannot tie my tongue to rob a man of a just reward. No, my prince, I recommend Ser Gunnard to be made a landed knight.
QUENTYN: And Ser Sharp?
WYLAND: Ser Sharp faltered, my prince. He was cut off when we destroyed the bridge.
QUENTYN: This is a report from Ser Desmond, which somewhat differs from your account, Ser Wyland.
WYLAND: Ser Desmond is a bastard, my prince, and no fighter besides!
QUENTYN: Aye, a bastard, and no fighter, but a man with more bravery and competence than the lot of the Golden Fleece, I shall tell you this much, Ser Wyland. Ser Desmond reports a consequential number of losses, Ser Wyland. He says you first lost your mind, and instead of destroying the bridge, sallied forth over it. He says you then lost your composure and ran from a small Reacher patrol. He says you lost ten men and three knights. He says you finally lost your sense of honor and destroyed the bridge, cutting off a rescue party led by Ser Sharp. Ser Desmond leaves the worst for last, though. He says you lost the King's banner.
WYLAND: I was not at fault, my prince. Ser Lennox must answer.
QUENTYN (shouting): Ser Lennox answered with his life, ser! As you should have done if you had any sense of honor! You lost the banner of the King of the Seven Kingdoms! You disgraced us, ser! You shamed us, ser! You will answer.
[Prince Quentyn marks a pause, and rubs his scar]
QUENTYN: The Golden Fleece is stood down in name. If the name is wiped, thus the shame may be as well. A missive has been sent to Ser Strickland to this effect, and have suggested to make you a battalion of detachments, playing fetch and carry. The mounted company, I will let it stand under a new name, in the Dornish host, and under a new commander.
WYLAND: To be commanded by the newly landed Ser Gunnard, my prince?
QUENTYN: To be commanded by the newly landed Ser Sharp, ser!
[Ser Wyland is annoyed, steps forward]
WYLAND: I have a cousin who has risen high in the Golden Company, my prince, and I have friends who have had the king's ear for many years.
[Prince Quentyn rises his head, in disbelief]
QUENTYN: By His Grace, you mean my cousin by blood, do you not? Remember this, Ser Wyland: a man who loses the King's banner, anointed by his own hand, loses the King's friendship. You have two choices, to hide in Dorne or be a hero in the Marches. I shall help you be a hero. Ser Jon Blackmont will lead a foray past Nightsong and Lord Hightower has an army waiting to receive him soon. There will be a battle to be sure. You will be the first to see a Reacher charge, ser, I assure you, it is not a pretty sight. What you do then, ser, is up to you. Good day.
[Ser Wyland bows and leaves with Elaerys. Ser Rickard Sharp is beckoned to enter in turn. Prince Quentyn scribbles down a few words.]
QUENTYN: Sharp…I can land you, but I may not be able to keep you landed.
RICKARD: You are the Prince of Dorne…my prince.
QUENTYN: Aye, but these lands are still the Crown's to give, should they wish to reward those of good and leal service in the Golden Company, and as a servant of His Grace, I may not be able to refuse him, do you understand? There is talk about a Baratheon banner, Ser Sharp. There is talk of a promise made to Ser Lennox. Swear to me that this is naught but gossip, Ser, or by the Gods I swear that you shall walk out that door a mere knight.
RICKARD: I swear that no one heard me make any promise in respect to a Baratheon banner to Ser Lennox, my prince.
QUENTYN: Ser Archibald?
ARCHIBALD: My prince?
QUENTYN: You may escort Ser Sharp, Lord of the Three Masts, to the door.
ARCHIBALD: Yes, my prince.
[Ser Rickard leaves, escorted by Ser Archibald]
DESMOND: He reminds me of someone, my prince.
QUENTYN: Who, Ser Sharp?
DESMOND: Aye, he bears a striking resemblance to the late Lord Stark. The northern mother, mayhaps.
[Prince Quentyn barely nods.]
QUENTYN: Ser Desmond…let Hightower know that the fool who lost the dragon banner is holding our flank.
[Ser Archibald comes back, slightly distressed]
ARCHIBALD: My prince, this means sending a Reacher cavalry charge…
QUENTYN: If Ser Desmond's informers may tell a good tale…
[Ser Archibald smiles]
QUENTYN: Ser Lennox was a fine knight. Did I ever tell you how he led the sweep of the Merchant's Quarter, in Volantis, Ser Desmond?
DESMOND: No, my prince.
QUENTYN: You are a damn liar, Ser Desmond.
DESMOND: That is what you pay me for, my prince.
[Scene fades to black]
'Sharp' did not have a deep cultural impact, as said before, but it did succeed where a lot of series, films or books failed, in that it accurately represented the life of a common footman or lowly knight in the Dornish Army, as well as the baggage train that came with it. It also dealt with the themes of war, destruction, the villanization of the enemy, represented by Ser Draven, but also the honorable foe, represented mostly by Lord Ambrose. It also dealt with much of the internal politics in the mess that was the loyalist army, and the relative distrust that the Dornish showed their fellow allies after the Battle of Tumbleton.
Other big Dornish pictures, though, did have a lasting impact. Many of these are centered around the Marches Campaign, the Battle of Kinrock, Tumbleton and the Fall of King's Landing, as well as the War of the Dawn, where Dornish forces played a key role. However, there are some, more peculiar movies, that show the 'Era of Broken Promises' and the start of the cooling of relations between the Iron and Sun thrones. One such picture is 'The White Dragoness', a movie centered not around King Aegon VI or Prince Daeron, but rather Queen Daenerys. The choice of a Dornish picture to center around this legendary figure may seem surprising, but we have to remember that in 'The White Dragoness', despite its somewhat good portrayal of the Queen, lays the blame of a lot of anti-Dornish decisions on her, carefully avoiding to put either King Aegon VI or Prince Daeron in a bad light, both, let us not forget, having ties to Dorne, one being half-Martell, and the other having a Martell wife and half-Martell children.
[Scene starts. A massive procession rides through the streets of King's Landing, bringing many curious bystanders to the streets. At the foot of the Red Keep, the procession stops, revealing Prince Quentyn, atop his horse, and his wife, atop hers. Both step foot on the ground, under the cheers of the crowd. To their surprise, it is Queen Daenerys who welcomes them.]
QUENTYN: Your Grace, I had not thought to see you welcome us.
DAENERYS: Is it not a Queen's duty to welcome a leal vassal? Come, I beckon you.
[Prince Quentyn and Princess Margaery enter the castle, and are led by the Queen and Kingsguard to a large room, where a Red Priest is waiting.]
QUENTYN: Where is King Aegon?
DAENERYS: He is in the Vale, with the Lord Hand, reminding them to whom their allegiances lie, Prince Quentyn.
QUENTYN (turning to the priest): And him?
RED PRIEST: I am Moqorro, a servant of R'hllor and his grace, Queen Daenerys the Unburnt.
QUENTYN: Does he have to be here for this discussion?
DAENERYS: Not any more than your wife, I presume? Or is she here to remind me that I ought to see her pretty face on a spike?
[Prince Quentyn scowls and Princess Margaery bites her tongue. Prince Quentyn restrains her from taking any action.]
DAENERYS: What is your business in the capital, Prince Quentyn? The city has not seen you since we have liberated it from the traitors.
[Queen Daenerys eyes Princess Margaery with a smirk.]
QUENTYN: Before the War for the Dawn, before even the War for the Crown, we made an alliance. An alliance dictated by the fact that Dorne would get half of the Stepstones.
DAENERYS: Indeed, you are right.
QUENTYN: And, as you know, you have not yet vacated the islands that have been promised to Dorne. Thus, my position on the matter is clear. You will either return Summerhall and its lands, or you will vacate my islands. Either you leave my lands, or I get mine lands back.
DAENERYS (smiling): It has the merit of being clear, Prince Quentyn. In mine eyes, Summerhall is the property of the crown, one that you have conceded as your sister's dowry, in perpetuity. And, as you know, Prince Daeron has wed and bedded your sister, giving her seven beautiful children. As such, Summerhall is the Crown's. As for the Stepstones, well, I have declared for it to be a Royal Protectorate, to finally wipe out the pirates and slavers gangrening the isles, and as a setup for other plans… [she looks into the distance] …and as a way of getting rid of these pesky sellswords, always asking for land and riches. You thus place me in an unfortunate spot.
QUENTYN: Summerhall or the Stepstones, Your Grace, these are my terms.
DAENERYS: Terms? [Laughter] We are not in the days of war, Prince Quentyn. I am Queen of Seven Kingdoms, there are no terms that you may discuss. I have fulfilled my piece of the bargain and given you the Seahorse Isle and the Long Isle.
QUENTYN: Our agreement also included Bloodstone and the Grey Isles, Your Grace.
DAENERYS: Indeed, it does. However, these are my islands.
QUENTYN: By whose word?
DAENERYS: The troops who currently hold these lands are all wearing the sigil of the three-headed dragon, and the banners that float atop the keeps, tunnels and coves match them. This makes them mine. [Almost giggling.] That is final, my lord.
QUENTYN (angry): I am a prince, not a lord. You ought to remember that.
DAENERYS: A prince? To a dragon, there is nothing but specks of dust on the ground. Remember that. I may call you anything.
[Prince Quentyn scoffs and immediately turns towards the door.]
DAENERYS: Is that it? No gallant speech about how I am wrong? No great argument to try and sway me otherwise? I come to regret your youth, when you cast me around like a little girl.
QUENTYN: I have come to see your judgment on the matter, and I have it. Thank you for your time.
DAENERYS (standing up): Westeros is by no means conquered, prince Quentyn, no matter how you wish to see it as so. The North laments that their Prince is not a King, the Vale has been put down and humiliated, the Westerlands rage against the charges placed on them, the Reach suffers as their stocks have been plundered, the Stormlands rage as their territories have been shattered and the Iron Islands…well, best not to talk about them.
QUENTYN: Thus, you think Dorne should be insulted like the rest of them? Will that be all, Your Grace?
DAENERYS: Oh, sweet, you are going? So soon? You are not even going to ask if I have an offer to propose to you?
QUENTYN: Have you?
DAENERYS: Not at the present, but my Lord Hand may yet think of one before I do.
[Prince Quentyn, exasperated, walks out, Princess Margaery following.]
DAENERYS: Lady Margaery! I almost forgot to ask, how is it to share the bed of a man whose greatest wish is to leave it to jump into another's?
MARGAERY: I am no Queen, but my husband has brought me four beautiful children. I suppose it is a gift not all of us can be happy about receiving. Good day, Your Grace.
[Princess Margaery leaves the room with a smile, while Queen Daenerys slumps back into her chair, scowling.]
'The White Dragoness' is one of the rare examples of a Dornish film depicting events that mostly transpired outside of the Dornish realm, though it did focus a lot on the reasons for the eventual distancing of Dorne with the Crown, the 'Era of Broken Promises', and the rapprochement between Prince Quentyn and Prince Daeron, especially after the betrothal of Prince Aemon to Princess Daena, an act that was received with shock and disbelief from every kingdom, and even Prince Daeron himself. 'The White Dragoness' is one of the films that does portray the feelings of Queen Daenerys and Prince Daeron the most accurately, and is still a reference outside of Dorne.
