Maegor the Cruel, a tyrant in Westerosi history, ruled with unparalleled brutality, instilling fear through gruesome violence and savage terror. While his reign saw widespread torture and massacres, some argue that it was a necessary evil and they suggest that his harsh methods were crucial to crush rebellions and eliminate threats to the Targaryen regime. In this video, I try to delve deeper into this topic and explore the effectiveness of Maegor’s reign.
