Plot of the film "House of the Dragon"
In "House of the Dragon" attention is paid to the events taking place on Westeros - a fictional continent. The time period is two hundred years before the famous series. In the center of the story is a civil war, provoked by the struggle of both branches of the Targaryens. These are people with white hair who own pet dragons. The Iron Throne belongs to Viserys I, who has been ruling for nine years. He hopes for the appearance of an heir. In the event of his absence, two people will claim the throne in the form of Aegon's younger brother, the daughter of the ruler himself - Rhaenyra. Traditions dictate that a male representative inherit the crown, but he is distinguished by a quick-tempered, cruel character, which is why they do not want to give him power. The outbreak of hostilities occurred after the death of Viserys I. At the same time, there was an announcement of claims to the power of Princess Rhaenyra, who was supported by the "blacks", Prince Aegon, with the support of the "greens". A war broke out that split the Seven Kingdoms, success was variable. Peace and stability are under threat because of civil strife. Of the applicants, none survived: Rhaenyra was captured, executed, the prince was poisoned. The new king of Westeros is the grandson of Visheros - Aegon III. The regency council included two parties.
