Along with them are the Redwyne twins, released as a gesture of goodwill and to help bestir Paxter Redwyne, who remained hidden from the war.

They rendezvous with the royal fleet as they circle Dorne and sail together towards the Iron Islands.

They scour the coast, destroying any Ironborn longships that get in their way.

After weeks of hunting, the grim grey shores of the Iron Isles appear off the horizon, and beneath its craggy cliffs, the Iron Fleet gathers.

He dies fair and square.

Illyria sails back to Dorne, is inciting war, is pissed off at Oberyn's brother Dorne because he doesn't want to fight some pointless war because of something that Oberyn got himself into.

So she kills Dorne Martell, Oberyn's brother.

She kills Trystine, Oberyn's nephew.

She kills the princess Marcella who had nothing to do with it.

Now, Aegor was born in 172.

This was a fortnight before Daenerys Targaryen, as in the one who married the Prince of Dorne, who had the water gardens built for her.

[laughs] She came a bit later, yeah.

The idea that he would set aside his heir for another is completely believable from him.

From another Targaryen king, probably not, but from him, absolutely.

Yeah, and this is all the more likely when you consider how much a King Aegon disliked Dorne, and how he seemed to be disappointed in his own firstborn son and heir, Prince Daeron.

Now, you need to remember that King Aegon himself had no say in his son's marriage to Dorne.

offers friendship.

Dorne will not kneel to the lions, nor forgive such treachery.

They have wronged us during the rebellion, and now the Lannisters have wronged you.

He proposes an alliance, Stark and Martell, bound by common cause.

The promise of fresh swords is a balm for that wound.

Tell your prince that his offer is not wasted on us.

If Dorne wishes justice, then we share in that

wish.

Dany remembers that lemon tree outside her window, and Braavos is a city devoid of trees.

We've long theorized that the lemon tree was a gift from Oberyn to the Sealord for witnessing the pact, given that citrus fruits thrive in Dorne.

Yeah, and in the Lands of Ice and Fire map book, the Sealords Palace does have a grassy secluded area out back with trees and an exotic menagerie.

There's even a building that looks like a cottage.

He's selling his wares, hoping that Dany would want to take a cask home.

It says, when Dany paused before his stall, he bowed low.

A taste for the Khaleesi? I have a sweet red from Dorne, my lady.

Fearing that the Kaiser might be captured by radical revolutionaries and suffer the same fate as Tsar Nicholas, who had been executed alongside his family in July 1918, Hindenburg advised Wilhelm to flee to the Netherlands.

The Kaiser reluctantly accepted the advice and spent the rest of his life in exile at a manor house in the town of Dorne.

Hindenburg retained command of the army and pledged loyalty to Ebert's government on the condition that it took action against radical communist revolutionaries.

After the armistice was signed on 11 November 1918, Hindenburg supervised the withdrawal of German troops from the Western Front.
