Princess Rhaenyra (Milly Alcock, then Emma D'Arcy) He then gets married for a third time to. By the end of Episode 6, he's a single father after Laena dies by dragonfire while giving birth to a stillborn child. (It's heavily implied that Daemon kills her.) His second wife is Laena Velaryon, with whom he has twin girls, Baela and Rhaena. A furious Viserys then kicks him back out of the Red Keep.ĭaemon's marriage to Rhea Royce ends soon after his second banishment from the Red Keep, with the lady officially dying of a fall from her horse. After a failed bit of rebellion and a successful war against Craghas 'The Crabfeeder' Drahar, Daemon returns to the Red Keep in victory, where he proceeds to make a pass at Rhaenyra with the aim of making his niece his second wife. Things went downhill for Daemon by the end of the premiere, with Viserys taking away his title as heir and giving it to Princess Rhaenyra. In the premiere, he was unhappily married to Rhea Royce of the Vale, and he had a mistress named Mysaria (Sonoya Mizuno).

He also has plenty of friends (especially among the City Watch) and enemies (especially Ser Otto Hightower, the current Hand of the King who also served King Jaehaerys). He's an arrogant hothead who believes he would be a better king than his brother. Known as 'The Rogue Prince,' Daemon is the younger brother of King Viserys, and the presumed heir as of the start of HotD. Per the dream, a terrible winter would come the distant North, bringing a force which would destroy the world of the living. Rather than ambition, Aegon I's conquer of Westeros was actually spurred by a dream where he foresaw the end of men.

(He's also the first crown you see in HotD's epic new opening credits.)Īlso, for anyone who's confused about the A Song of Ice and Fire mention in HotD's premiere: Upon being named heir, Rhaenyra learns a secret passed down through Targaryen rulers. After conquering the realm, he founded King's Landing, began construction on the Red Keep, and forged the Iron Throne out of the swords of his fallen enemies. He married both of his sisters, Rhaenys and Visenya, and they had three dragons: Balerion, Vhagar, and Meraxes. Whenever later Targaryens mention the great Aegon, they're speaking of Aegon the Conqueror, the first king of Westeros who united the realm (minus Dorne and the land beyond the Wall) and founded the Targaryen dynasty.
