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.
I MAY DESTROY YOU EPISODE 1 FREE
Things get serious when Lord Corlys Velaryon, who commands the king's fleet, starts complaining of disturbances in the Free Cities, which Thrones aficionados will recall includes places like Braavos, Pentos and 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 crammed 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. 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." She then takes us on a nostalgic walk through the Red Keep. After dismounting from her dragon, Rhaenyra links arms with Alicent Hightower, the daughter of Hand of the King Otto Hightower. We see a silver-haired woman gliding along on a dragon, introducing us to Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, the daughter of King Viserys. Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower, daughters of the King and the King's Hand.Īfter the credits, House of the Dragon reacquaints us with King's Landing. 172 years before the death of the Mad King, Aerys, and the birth of his daughter, Princess Daenerys Targaryen." "It is now the ninth year of King Viserys I Targaryen's Reign. "The only thing that could tear down the house of the dragon," the narrator tells us, "was itself."Īfterwards, we get a helpful message onscreen that informs us that we've skipped forward almost a decade after that council decreed Viserys King. Viserys and Aemma Targaryen, King Jaehaerys, Corlys Velaryon and Rhaenys Targaryen. 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 Viserys. There are two main contenders: Princess Rhaenys Targaryen and Prince Viserys 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. With both of his sons dead, Jaehaerys convened a council to decide who would be the heir to his throne. King Jaehaerys Targaryen is among Westeros' most illustrious rulers: His reign lasted over 60 years, the longest ever. A narrator fills us in on recent history.
