Why Did Aegon Put Himself at Risk in ’House of the Dragon’s Pivotal Battle?

The Big Picture Well into House of the Dragon Season 2, the usurper Aegon II has cemented himself as one of the more layered characters of the series. The actor spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about that problematic decision of riding Sunfyre into battle, even when it wasn’t the most logical decision. Up until this point, it wouldn’t be out of the question to assume Aegon isn’t well-suited for the crown.

She all but says that Aegon is a fool and the best thing he can do is nothing and listen to smarter and more experienced men at the small council. Already made to feel useless after the devastating death of his son in the Blood and Cheese plot, this is a bridge too far for the crowned king. The only thing Aegon has left is his actions, but it unfortunately does not work in his favor. Like his father, Viserys , he is perhaps not the wisest choice to rule the Seven Kingdoms. Aemond proves to be much more cunning, and he demonstrates this when sacrificing his brother’s safety so he can cut down Rhaenys. As it stands now, Aegon feels the weight of his decision. Literally. With his Valyrian steel armor melted into his flesh, it would be a long time before he sits the Iron Throne again.
