House of Dragons Confirms Major Fan Theory

On Sunday, HBO aired the sixth episode of its show Game of thrones prequel series, Dragon House. The episode titled “The Princess and the Queen” leaped forward in Westeros history by a decade, beginning with the birth of the third child to Renera Targaryen. After the eventful wedding in the previous episode, Rainera married Lenore Villarion. However, there are some questions as to whether Lenore is the father of Ranira’s children. While King Viserys appears unable or unwilling to doubt his daughter’s virtue, many others, including those who have read George R.R. Martin fire and bloodThey believe that Rhaenyra’s sons may be illegitimate.

“The Princess and the Queen” stopped the discussion. The episode answered a longstanding question about princes.

Who is the father of Rinera Targaryen’s children?

Officially, History House Targaryen acknowledges Laenor Valeryon as the father of Rhanerya’s three sons, Jacaerys, Lucerys, and Joffrey. However, fans have long questioned this claim.

fire and blood Somewhat obvious in suggesting that children are bastards. The clearest competitor for being the true father of children is Sir Harwin Strong. The latest episode of Dragon House confirms that this is true.

Who is Harwin Strong?

Sir Harwin Strong was the commander of the City Guard at King’s Landing. As the son of the King’s Hand, Lionel Strong, Harwin was also the heir to Harrenhall’s brother and Lars Strong. Harwin got the nickname “Broken Bones” because many believed him to be the most powerful knight in the Seven Kingdoms.

Rumors that Harwin is the real father of the princes stem from reports in fire and blood That he was by Rhinera’s bedside during childbirth, along with Lenore. All kids also share Harwin’s dark brown hair color, unlike Velaryon or Targaryen blonde.

Was there any doubt as to the identity of the father of the Rinrea children?

There was some doubt, yes. Notably, no one in King’s Landing could prove that the Rhaenyra children were illegitimate, or if they could not come forward. Although Martin strongly alluded to in his writing, he stopped short of stating that the children were explicitly villains, leading some fans to think they were legitimate, despite Lenore’s sexual preferences.

These theorists clung to two things. Or not, fire and blood It does not describe Harwin’s appearance, nor does it provide the kind of genealogical history discovered by Ned Stark Game of thronesWhich leads him to reveal that the children of Cersei Lannister are villains born of incest. That was some wiggle room.

Wait, how come no one in King’s Landing noticed that the Rhaenrya kids were bastards?

Another sticking point was that some readers did not believe that Rinrea would be this bold or that she would be able to get away with it if she was. Surely someone in court will notice that the children do not look like their father, a strange resemblance to Harwin Strong’s “Princess Sword”.

Dragon House This solves the missing part of the equation. Yes, people notice. However, the king remained ignorant, perhaps deliberately, of his daughter’s follies. In The Princess and the Queen, Viserys indicates that Joffrey has some features of Laenor, much to the confusion of everyone in the room. But then, who will challenge the King in his delusions about his beloved daughter?

Why is the identity of the father of Rinera’s children important?

Dragon HouseAll of the Iron Chief’s disputes come from matters of succession to the Iron Throne. Succession depends entirely on true lineage.

Aliscent fears that Rhinera will one day see her children as a challenge to her right to rule, and the princess with heirs cements her cause because she can provide the kingdom with clear successors after her death. However, scoundrels have no right to inherit. If the Queen can prove that the children are illegitimate, it will invalidate their claim to the throne and weaken Ranira’s standing as she underestimates her in the eyes of the princes of Westeros.
