The Power Struggle Within the Targaryen Dynasty

A Still From House of the Dragon (Photo: HBO)

As the reign of Viserys I comes to an end, it sets off a chain reaction that ultimately leads to the downfall of the Targaryen dynasty. The naming of his eldest children as successors sparks a rift within the family, as Rhaenyra and Aegon I’s factions clash over who should inherit the Iron Throne. The tension only intensifies after Viserys I’s passing, as Aegon I secures the throne, leaving Rhaenyra feeling wronged and vengeful.

Rhaenyra’s sense of injustice is further fueled by her marriage to her uncle, King Laenor Velaryon, and the birth of their three children. However, Laenor’s untimely death leaves Rhaenyra without a husband and without a clear path to the throne. Aegon I’s marriage to Rhaenyra’s half-sister, Helaena Targaryen, produces two sons, Aegon II and Aemond, further solidifying Aegon I’s claim to the throne. Rhaenyra’s anger and resentment grow, and she begins to plot against her brother, rallying her supporters and fueling the conflict.
