House of the Dragon Season 1 Episode 2 release date is up next, and here is all that we know about it. The pilot episode gave us chills down the spine with Princess Rhaenyra climbing down her dragon just like Daenerys once did. This show is set 172 years before the Targaryen dynasty ended in Game of Thrones. King Jahaerys names Viserys, his eldest male grandson, as an heir to the throne.
Princess Rhaenys, who was never selected because she is a woman, was also supported by many houses in Westeros and thus, is called The Queen Who Never Was. Starting in the present, we see Princess Rhaenyra along with her best friend, Allicent Hightower. She is the daughter of the Hand of the King, Otto Hightower, and lives in the Red Keep as well. Queen Aemma is with child, and her husband, King Viserys, has all hopes that she will give him a son.
The scene then changes over to Prince Daemon, the current heir to the throne after Viserys, if the King fails to provide a male heir. Daemon is currently the Commander of the City Watch. He brutally leads his men, the gold cloaks, inside the city to punish the people who are thieves or rapists or murderers.
Recap
Viserys has always supported his brother with his might, and even after such a brutal case, he refuses the council’s advice to send Prince Daemon back to the Vale where his wife resides. The day of the tournament arrives when Queen Aemma also goes into labor. This period is very difficult for her as the child is breached. The King is required to make a very difficult decision. He can either choose Aemma’s life or the baby‘s. The greed of getting a male heir possesses him, and he decides for the baby’s life but ends up losing his wife And a newborn son, both in complications.
Ser Otto Hightower and Daemon both have an obvious beef, and thus, the Hand advises the King to name Princess Rhaenyra as his heir. Initially, King Viserys disagrees, but upon having an enraged argument with his brother Daemon, he sends him back to the Vale and strips him of all his titles. Viserys now summons Rhaenyra and breaks the news to her about the inheritance of the Iron Throne.
He also tells her that a great winter will fall upon Westeros from the North, and it can only be defeated if a Targaryen rules the seven kingdoms. As the ceremony for Princess Rhaenyra takes place to become the next Queen and ruler, Prince Daemon leaves King’s Landing on his dragon Caraxes but also takes home his lover Mysaria. Coming back to the future of the show, we shall now discuss the next episode.
