Rhaenyra expects to become the first Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, but her uncle Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) has other plans.

“Men would rather burn the empire than see a woman ascend the Iron Throne,” Princess Rhaenys Velaryon (Eve Best) Rhaenyra warned in the trailer.

Lord Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint) ominously tells Daemon in the preview: “History remembers no blood. It remembers names.’

Return to Westeros! House of Targaryen’s original story – based on Martin’s Fire & Blood series – is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones

The original story of House of Targaryen – based on Martin’s Fire & Blood series – is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones.

“While the infamous dragon-riding House is best known for its powerful three-century dynasty, their family’s inner workings were arguably even more complex than the Lannisters and Starks combined,” the logline read.

“Rivalry within the bloodlines and in King’s Landing would sow the seeds of the family’s eventual demise.”
