The storyline is based on a civil war between Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and her half-brother, Aegon II. This war is to determine who will succeed their father, Viserys I, to the throne. House of the Dragon does not immediately jump into the war, but the events leading up to it.

Matt smith is such a good casting choice in house of the dragon bc he has that handsome, but not in a way where you can rule out inbreeding' type of look that's perfect for a targaryen, wrote @ycsm1n.
