It’s almost time for the return of House of the Dragon on Sky and NOW, so before June 17th we have chosen five plot elements that you absolutely need to review to get off to the best possible start with the Dance of the Dragons, ready to explode.
Meanwhile, the crucial point from which everything starts: the designation of Rhaenyra Targaryen as heir to the throne by his father Viserys, who really set all events in motion. Rhaenyra does not want to give up her throne, as she is her rightful heir, and she will fight to the end to get it.
Then, there is the claim of Alicent Hightower and his son Aegon, had with Viserys when Rhaenyra was already a teenager. Alicent, also pushed by her father Otto, wants her son on the throne to protect her family.
But where does Aegon’s legitimacy come from?? On his deathbed, Viserys was visited first by Rhaenyra and then by Alicent. To his daughter he confirmed his desire to keep her as heir to the throne, but with Alicent the delirium of the illness made him talk about the dream he had about Aegon the Conqueror, who the queen mistook for their son Aegon, convincing herself that she designated him as heir .
Then there is the question of Rhaenyra’s children, had secretly with the Knight Harwin Strong but which have always been attributed on paper to Leanor Velaryon. Their questioned lineage remains a crucial point for the dynasty.
Also very important is Aemond’s loss of his eye, struck by Lucerys Velaryon, an element of great tension that will remain over the years, resulting in death of Lucerys devoured by the dragon Vhagarwith a shocked Aemond in the saddle who only wanted to intimidate him.
