And my heir will put all this damnable hand-wringing to an end. “There’s a boy in the queen’s belly, I know it. Grand Maester Mellon says there’s no way to tell what the sex of the child will be, but Viserys isn’t hearing that.
Viserys gloats that a big celebration is required, since he’ll surely have a boy. Instead, they begin to focus on the Heir’s Tournament, a jousting championship held on the day of Viserys’ child’s birth. This important matter is brushed aside by King Viserys and his Hand, Otto. Three of these cities are joining forces, calling themselves the Triarchy, and there’s a chap called “the Crabfeeder” who tortures pirates by, well, feeding them to the crabs.

Things get serious when Lord Corlys Velaryon, who commands the king’s fleet, starts complaining of disturbances in the Free Cities, which Thrones afficianados will recall includes places like Braavos, Pentos, Volantis. House of the Dragon immediately reminds us how unusual this was, as we’re quickly thrown into a Small Council meeting that has illustrious lords cramped around the king’s table. She was the Queen she was the Small Council. Game of Thrones’ final seasons saw Cersei Lannister demand complete control of the crown. She then says she’s not interested in her position within the family - all she’s interested in is riding on dragonback, seeing the great wonders across the Narrow Sea and eating “only cake.”
“As long as I recall, that’s all he’s wanted.” “I hope for my father that he gets a son,” she says. Alicent says Rhaenyra is always like this when she’s worried, and supposes that Rhaenyra is worried she’ll be overshadowed by Viserys’ potentially having a son. We later see Alicent Hightower try to tutor Rhaenyra under a Redwood tree, but Rhaenyra isn’t in the mood to study. Sunday on #HOTD /S9eZwEVt3m- House of the Dragon August 20, 2022 In a reply reminiscent of Arya Stark, Rhaenyra shoots back with a grin: “I’d rather serve as a knight and ride to battle and glory.” “This discomfort is how we serve the realm.” “You will lie in this bed soon enough, Rhaenyra,” Aemma replies. Rhaenyra says everyone is thinking about the baby, but someone needs to take care of Aemma. Rhaenyra enters into the chambers of her mother, Aemma (“Emma”) Targaryen, who’s pregnant and just weeks away from giving birth. After dismounting from her dragon, Rhaenyra links arms with Alicent Hightower, the daughter of King of the Hand Otto Hightower, and takes us on a nostalgic walk through the Red Keep. You get to see a silver-haired woman gliding along on a dragon, introducing us to Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, the daughter of King Viserys. 172 years before the death of the Mad King, Aerys, and the birth of his daughter, Princess Daenerys Targaryen.”Īfter the credits, House of the Dragon reacquaints viewers with King’s Landing. “It is now the ninth year of King Viserys I Targaryen’s Reign. The narrator tells us that the wise Jaehaerys’ goal in organizing the council vote was to avoid a Targaryen civil war over the crown. Not content to allow a woman to rule, the council conferred the crown onto Visyrs. There are two main contenders: Princess Rhaenys Targaryen and Prince Visyrs Targaryen. The deliberations of this council is the first scene we see - House of the Dragon’s equivalent to the White Walkers slaying Night’s Watch men in the Game of Thrones opening. #HouseoftheDragon premieres tonight on #HOTD /WOihOjoZD3- House of the Dragon August 21, 2022
