Recap of House of the Dragon Season 1
Adapted from George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” “House of the Dragon” is set 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones.” It chronicles the Targaryen family’s reign under King Viserys I Targaryen.
Season 1 explores Viserys’s controversial decision to name his daughter Rhaenyra as his heir, breaking with tradition. The season concludes with Aemond Targaryen killing Lucerys Velaryon, setting the stage for the “Dance of the Dragons”—a civil war between the Greens (Alicent and King Aegon II) and the Blacks (Rhaenyra and Daemon). This war will involve other prominent families, including the Starks, Lannisters, and Baratheons.
Get ready for an epic season of betrayal, power struggles, and fire-breathing dragons.
