House of the Dragon Season 3 sparks debate over Daenerys Targaryen’s lineage

The second episode of the third season of HBO’s House of the Dragon will premiere on Sunday, 28 June, at 22:00 (Brasília time) on HBO Max and the HBO cable channel.

Fans noted that the season’s opening scene, which omits Aegon and Viserys Targaryen from the Battle of the Gullet, could alter the book‑based genealogy that leads to Daenerys Targaryen. In George R. R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, Viserys’s later marriage produces the line that eventually yields Daenerys; removing him from the battle might, in theory, prevent her birth. creators have hinted the series will later reconcile the change, but the speculation has generated lively discussion on social media.
