With the release of House of the Dragon, fans are wondering about who are the richest actors in this series. Thus, we have wrapped up a list for the same. This prequel series which is set almost 172 years and 8 generations before the birth of Daenerys Targaryen, looks upon the Targaryen dynasty when it was the strongest.
Despite the fact that a civil war which will be covered in this show, will break them apart in the majority, the Targaryens still ruled the seven kingdoms for a whole dynasty and left their mark.
Coming back, we see the series starting off with King Viserys, who inherited the throne after his grandfather King Jahaerys Targaryen. After his wife, Queen Aemma dies, Viserys tries to find an heir to the Iron Throne after him to secure the claim of the Targaryens.
Viserys names his daughter Princess Rhaenyra, the heir. Although, after he marries Allicent Hightower, they have three children together, and he has a son who possesses a stronger claim to the Iron Throne.
This creates a rifle between the Queen and the Princess for the throne, and this is where we see the actual Game of Thrones theme. This rivalry will lead to a civil war among the family called the Dance of the Dragons.

House of the Dragon really portrayed men and their true nature in this series because Ser Criston really thought Rhaenyra would leave her birthright to marry him just because they slept together once? I mean-
Well, it is still an intriguing character for the show. Fabien has studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. He has recently graduated with an acting degree from the London Academy of Music and Art back in 2017.
