A recap on the first episode of the ‘GoT’ prequel 'House of the Dragon.’ HouseoftheDragon
, Milly Alcock, Paddy Considine and Steve Toussaint, recap the in-fighting in episode one and tease where things go from here, as season 1 gets deep into the political maneuvering that follows.
Essentially telling the same story twice, the first hour of the series sets up the precarious line of succession and what happens when there is no male heir to inherit the Iron Throne. The story then jumps forward, well into Viserys’ rule over his kingdom, as the king faces a similar problem of having no male heir -- well, at least not yet. While he does have a daughter -- Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen -- he and his wife, Aemma Targaryen , are still trying to have a son as dictated by the realm.
This leads the king to make a bold choice and name Rhaenyra as the next in line while also commanding his council to pledge that they’ll honor this decision when the time comes. Of course, many members of the extended family, including Daemon, Rhaenys and even Viserys’ daughter, have reservations about this course of action -- or if it even will hold true -- especially now that all of their relationships have changed moving forward.
