Everything is connected between The dragon house and Game of Thrones. Although the Dance of the Dragons took place more than a century before the birth of Daenerys Targaryen, there are numerous nods in the spin-off. We saw the last one in the first episode of the second season, which begins with Jacaerys Velaryon’s visit to Winterfell to get the support of Cregan Stark. The Lord of the North agrees, but not before warning him that he will only send veterans because he must keep the best protecting the Wall from the threat of something beyond.
In the first season we saw more, like the prophecy that Viserys passed on to Rhaenyra before the skull of Balerion the Black Terror. And there are many more allusions to the story that happens in the original series, some more discreet and others more shameless. Some relationships are even familial, the most obvious being that all Targaryens are ancestors of Daenerys. But there are theories that point to blood ties as well. between the prequel dragons and Drogon, Viserion and Rhaegal, the three creatures of Game of Thrones.
Specifically, Daenerys’ dragons They would be directly related to Fuegoensueño. We haven’t seen him since the first season, in which he appeared for a few seconds on screen. However, its rider Helaena Targaryen has unfortunately been the protagonist in the first episode of the second season. We still don’t know if we will see the dragon again, although the book Fire and Blood It does explain what his role is in the war. But in this case, the interesting thing is to know What does it have to do with the Khaleesi’s children.
Fuegoensueño, the true mother of dragons
Dreamfire’s first rider was Rhaena Targaryen, daughter of Aenys I, the successor of Aegon I the Conqueror. The little girl began to ride it when she was 12 years old, in 35 after the Conquest (AD) and both They were very close since then. After her father’s death, Rhaena hid from her uncle. Maegor the Cruel on Fair Isle, but eventually returned to King’s Landing and discovered that she must marry him, the man who had usurped the throne from her brother and husband Aegon the Uncrowned.
The tyranny of Maegor I was so unbearable that the great houses of Westeros eventually revolted. When Rhaena found out that her little brother Jaehaerys had claimed the crown, he escaped from the Red Keep with Dreamfire and joined the cause. Finally, Maegor was found dead on the Iron Throne and Jaehaerys I took his place. He is the king we saw at the beginning of The dragon house and who was later succeeded by Viserys I, father of Rhaenyra.
During the reign of Jaehaerys I, Princess Rhaena remarried, this time to Androw Farman. It is said that the reason for this marriage was that he was in love with his sister. Elisa and both were friends and lovers. The three lived in Beautiful Island until Franklyn Farman became the new lord of the place. Because he hated them, they went to Rock Dragon after passing through several places that they had to abandon due to the ambition of the nobles, eager to get the three eggs that Fuegoensueño had laid.
The walls of Dragonstone repressed Elissa Farman’s adventurous desires, which surpassed her love for Rhaena. Thus, she left the island in 54 AD and he stole the three eggs to sell them in Braavos and build the Sunseeker ship to sail to the Sunset Sea. Elissa adopted the name Alys Colina to elude her pursuers, since Rhaena asked Jaehaerys I to help her find the fugitive. Finally, she traveled west and She was never seen again.
And what happened to the three Dreamfire eggs? Theories suggest that they passed from one hand to another over the years. until they ended up in Illyrio Mopatis, the magister of Pentos who welcomed Daenerys And his brother Viserys in his mansion and protected them from the fury of Robert Baratheon. When the Breaker of Chains married Khal Drogo, Mopatis gave him the three eggs. The rest is a story that all fans of Game of Thrones they know very well.
Fuegoensueño in ‘The House of the Dragon’
According to the book Fire and blood, Rhaena rode Dreamfire until her death in 73 AD. The dragon never had a rider again. until Princess Helaena claimed it in 120 AD When Viserys I died and the Dance of the Dragons broke out shortly thereafter, both were on the side of the greens, although they had no relevance in the conflict. We will have to wait to see if the plans The dragon house They are different. [a partir de aquí, spoilers sobre lo que puede suceder en la serie].
At the end of the first season we attend the assassination of Lucerys Velaryon at the hands of Aemond Targaryen and the dragon Vhagar. The blacks decided to take revenge and Daemon, through Mysaria, hired Blood and Cheese so that They will kill one of the children of Aegon II and Helaena. In the episode Son for son the first target was Aemond, but these lines will stick to the books only.
Blood and Cheese forced the mother to choose between his firstborn Jaehaerys or his youngest son Maelor, and after much resistance he decided to save the heir’s life. However, the mercenaries killed the major. Helaena went into a deep depression from the shock and from not being able to look at Maelor’s face, who since then knew that his mother had chosen him to die.
The greens considered that Helaena was in no condition to fight, and so Neither she nor Fuegoensueño participated in the civil war. The queen died some time later, after the fall of King’s Landing, and the official version is that He threw himself into the void from his tower. The dragon, for her part, was not claimed again and spent her last days in Dragon Well until he died in 130 AD, in the same year as Helaena, due to the assault of a mob and the collapse of the place during the creature’s confrontations with the crowd.
