The good news about Daeron’s confirmation is that he should be one of the few likable lads involved in this story going forward. In fact, House of the Dragon‘s forefather Game of Thrones likely would have! Thankfully this prequel series is a bit more invested in bringing the full ( even if at times confusing) version of Martin’s world to bare. The truth is that he’s not necessarily.ĭaeron definitely gets into some action in the incoming civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons but a show concerned with either its budget or the amount of characters with similar-sounding names could have found a way to cut him out of the proceedings.
Those unfamiliar with Fire & Blood may be wondering why Daeron Targaryen is of particular importance to this story. Since he’s a third son, he doesn’t really need to be around the capital for succession purposes so he’s likely getting an education in his family’s hometown and arguably the cultural center of Westeros. There you have it: young Daeron (who should be around 15 years old right now) is down in Oldtown, a.k.a. Do I wish we’d had more time to explore the relationship between Rhaenyra and Ser Harwin, the marriage of Daemon and Laena and their time in Pentos, the birth of various and sundry children ( and YES, Alicent gave Viserys four children, three sons and a daughter, their youngest son Daeron is down in Oldtown, we just did not have the time to work him in this season), and everything else we had to skip? Sure. (Truth be told, we have an incredible cast, and I love all of them). Very briefly, however, I think Ryan has handled the “jumps” very well, and I love love love both the younger Alicent and Rhaenyra and the adult versions, and the actresses who play them. You can find the relevant passage below (bolding added for emphasis): More than that – Daeron is technically a part of the show now, he just doesn’t happen to be onscreen yet (or even necessarily have an actor announced to play him). In a post on his “Not a Blog” live journal website today called “Random Musings,” the “A Song of Ice and Fire” creator indeed muses on a few random things and in the process reveals that Daeron Targaryen remains a part of the House of the Dragon‘s plan. This news comes from none other than papa bear himself: George R.R.
