So he must choose Who will he name as his successor?: to his brother, Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) or to his daughter Rhaenyra, despite the opposition to a woman governing. She is chosen by her father as heir to the Iron Throne.

Viserys marries again Alicent Hightower and has four childrenbut keeps his firstborn as his heir.
