“House of the dragon”, the new HBO Max television series, premiered its first chapter and showed the first steps of the future of house Targaryen. Thus, one of the characters that has attracted the most attention is that of Rhaenyra Targaryens (Milly Alcock), who curiously had already been talked about in the story of “Game of thrones”.
It is a small, but revealing dialogue that takes place in episode 9 of the fifth season of “Game of thrones”. Stannis Baratheon —aspiring king—approaches his daughter, the little Princess Shirenand this tells you something more than interesting (POSSIBLE SPOILERS).
His father asks his only descendant what he is reading. And this she answers that the book she has in her hands is “The Dance of Dragons”.
“It’s the story of the struggle between Rhaenyra Targaryen and her half-brother Aegon for control of the seven kingdoms. They both believed they deserved the Iron Throne,” says the princess.
The future of Rhaenyra and the Targaryens
This would indicate two things: as it is established, Rhaenyra would succeed her father on the throne after his death; and King Viserys would go on to have a second wife, from whom a son named Aegon would be born.
But this historical record does not end there, as Shireen also says the following: “When people took sides for one or the other, the fight divided the kingdom in two. Brothers against brothers, dragons against dragons.
“By the time it was over, thousands had died. It was a disaster for the Targaryens too. They could never recover.”he adds.
Of course, the final result of this great war is known by the most fanatical of the work of George RR Martin; however, for “House of the dragon” newbies, this is a more than interesting reveal.
