The latest episode of “House of the Dragon” has shed light on the cause of Westeros’ civil war – a misunderstanding between two Targaryens with the same name. This revelation has sparked laughter among fans, who have embraced this change from George R. R. Martin’s “Fire and Blood” novel.
In season one, episode eight, King Viserys Targaryen caused confusion over his successor by mentioning a prince named Aegon who was prophesied to unite the realm. However, his wife Alicent Targaryen believed he was referring to their son Aegon II and placed him on the throne in the following episode.
The latest episode of “House of the Dragon” reveals that Viserys was actually referring to Aegon the Conqueror, his ancestor. This misunderstanding between two Targaryens named Aegon ultimately led to the Dance of the Dragons war. In season two, episode three, it is clarified that Viserys was referring to Aegon the Conqueror instead of their son Aegon II.
Rhaenyra tries to prevent the impending civil war by discussing the situation with Alicent Targaryen in King’s Landing in a new storyline deviating from “Fire and Blood.” If the Targaryens learn anything from this conflict, it is perhaps to choose different names for their children in future seasons. The show has already embraced this change with memes about Alicent’s realization of her mistake.
