So far, we have readily accepted House Targaryen as our favorite family, despite all the madness and incest. Over the course of nine episodes, we have seen King Viserys (Paddy Considine) go from being a king
The penultimate episode of House of the Dragon ended with a coronation — and a near miss for Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) and her children. The latest installment focused entirely on the events inside the Red Keep in King’s Landing after the death of King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine) in Episode 8. Thanks to a
Ever since Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) waltzed onto our screens in House of the Dragon, fans have been captivated by the character.

Season 1 of House of the Dragon has been leading up to this very point, which is the start of the Dance of the Dragons directly. Last week, we saw the death of King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine), who passed away after having a conversation with his wife, Alicent (Olivia Cooke), which was entirely misconstrued
King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine) is the catalyst for everything that is currently going on in House of the Dragon. When his wife didn’t immediately produce a male heir and then later died in childbirth, Viserys ended up naming his daughter, Princess Rhaenyra (portrayed at the time by Milly Alcock), as the official successor to
Season 1 of House of the Dragon has introduced a huge amount of characters thanks to the various pivotal marriages of King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine), his daughter, Princess Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy), and his brother, Prince Daemon (Matt Smith).
