About Rhaenyra Targaryen

Rhaenyra is an important character in the House of The Dragon. She is the first female heir to the Iron Throne. This does not make her father, King Viserys, happy because he wanted a son.

House of the Dragon is all about succession and family politics, in the same way Game of Thrones was. However, this time we’re focused on infighting between the Targaryens.
