How Did ‘House of the Dragon’ Season 1 End?
During Aegon II Targaryen’s crowning ceremony, Princess Rhaenys arrives unexpectedly on her dragon. Instead of attacking the Greens, she decides to head to Dragonstone to join forces with Rhaenyra. The episode ends dramatically, hinting at the famous “Dance of the Dragons” battle between Dragonriders. It’s made even more intense by the sad death of Rhaenyra’s son, Lucerys, in a clash with Prince Aemond and his dragon, Vhagar. This event suggests that war might be on the horizon, especially since Rhaenyra, who was unsure before, may now feel pressured to fight back after losing her son.
House of the Dragon returns to HBO on June 19. Season 1 is streaming now on Max.
