Episodes are also available to stream on NOW. House of the Dragon airs Mondays at 9pm on Sky Atlantic. That makes it even harder to gauge on a show whose premise seems to be that this war has no winners whatsoever. History is written by the victors, after all. Maybe the things we’ve heard before are mere folklore compared to the way things really go down. There’s no definitive account of what happened at all, which gives House of the Dragon an unusual freedom when it comes to depicting these events on screen. It’s history as written by several scholars, who all bring their own point of view. On Thrones, the event known as Robert’s Rebellion, which wiped out the last of the Targaryens (well, almost), was said to be a bold uprising by Robert Baratheon after his betrothed was kidnapped, until we learned the truth: she went willingly, and the massacre was founded on a misunderstanding.Īs a text, Fire & Blood is far less prescriptive than A Song of Ice & Fire, the series Thrones is based on. But it’s not obvious that everything we’ve heard about the dance of the dragons will play out in quite the same way. History runs deep in the world of Westeros, so it stands to reason that a show set before Thrones would explore some of the history we’ve heard about already. While giving Maergery Tyrell a personal tour of King’s Landing in season three, he shows her where several of Westeros’ previous monarchs were buried.ĭo they constitute spoilers? We're not sure. Going further back through the original series, there are more specific details about the people killed during the war, remarked upon by Joffrey Baratheon, no less. This is something echoed in House of the Dragon’s first episode, when Viserys urges Rhaenyra to keep the family united if it wishes to survive. The Targaryen family is just as weak to their dragon's firepower as their enemies are, and as soon as they started fighting, it was essentially a race to the bottom. Shireen doesn’t remark quite how long the war goes on for - but points to the futility of the two groups fighting. This suggests that Rhaenyra (played by Milly Alcock and Emma D’Arcy) and her (yet unseen) half-brother Aegon will be the primary factions vying for control over the Seven Kingdoms. If the collapsed star is greater than about three times the solar mass, then nothing that we know of in nature can withstand the force of its gravity, and it.
And it was a disaster for the Targaryens as well. 3 These black holes are also referred to as collapsars. 2 The process is observed as a hypernova explosion 3 or as a gamma ray burst. 1 They have masses ranging from about 5 to several tens of solar masses. By the time it was over, thousands were dead. A stellar black hole (or stellar-mass black hole) is a black hole formed by the gravitational collapse of a star. When people started declaring for one of them or the other, their fight divided the kingdom in two. Both of them thought they belonged on the Iron Throne. SHIREEN: It’s the story of the fight between Rhaenyra Targaryen and her half-brother Aegon for control of the Seven Kingdoms.
