More than a year has passed since House of the Dragon premiered as the very first spinoff of Game of Thrones. This series is packed full of Targaryens and their dragons, and dragon-on-dragon warfare is inevitable in Season 2. As a Game of Thrones fan and Fire & Blood reader, I enjoyed House of the Dragon’s first season and have been trying to wait patiently for Season 2. Still, thinking back on the series, I realized there i one Daemon detail that still drives me crazy.
George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood is actually a fascinating book, as the volume is a fictional history of the Targaryen dynasty. It’s filled with accounts by different people with different loyalties, biases, and motivations, so there are conflicting accounts of events, such as the different versions of what happened between Rhaenyra and Daemon that led to his second banishment. But the show changed one point from Fire & Blood that never had conflicting accounts, and it concerns Daemon's first wife: Lady Rhea Royce.
