Just like it was done in “Game of Thrones”the adaptation of “House of the dragon” for hbo max It came with a long list of characters, both for the Targaryen house and for the Hightower. As is known, Viserys married Alicent and they had Aegon II, Aemond and Helaena. However, those who have read George RR Martin’s books know that there is a fourth heir: Daeron.
However, just because it hasn’t been shown, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. In fact, the author himself explained the reasons for the absence of the young prince.
Who is Daeron Targaryen?
Daeron Targaryens is the youngest son of Viserys with Alicent. He was born when Rhaneyra was to have her first boy, thus he is contemporary with Jacaerys.
After eight chapters, they have still revealed to us who will play him and, as if that were not enough, he was totally ignored in the narrative of this first season.
Where is Daeron and why does he not appear in “House of the dragon”?
George R.R. Martinthrough a post on his blog (via Collider), acknowledged that, indeed, Daeron exists in the television world of “The house of the dragon”. In that sense, she revealed where she was all this time and why she doesn’t appear on the show.
“I think (showrunner) Ryan (Condal) has handled the ‘jumps’ very well, and I love both the young and adult versions of Alicent and Rhaenyra, and the actresses who play them. To tell you the truth, we have an incredible cast, and I love all of them, ”Martin began in his message.
“I wish we had had more time to explore the relationship between Rhaenyra and Ser Harwin, Daemon and Laena’s marriage and stay on Pentos, the birth of many different children (and yes, Alicent gave Viserys four sons, three and a daughter, his youngest son Daeron is in Old City, we just didn’t have time to include him in this season), and everything else we had to skip? Of course I do,” she added.
a key character
However, with the announcement of the second season of “House of the dragon”, Daeron is expected to become a key character. This is because, as portrayed in the books, he aided in the Greens’ early battles during the Dance with Dragons, thereby destabilizing Rhaenyra and her allies for a long time.
