House of the Dragon Episode 6 brought many new faces into the spotlight, including eight children. The latest installment of HBOs fan-favorite series featured a ten-year time skip into King Viserys life. At the beginning of Episode 6, the character portrayed by Paddy Considine not only had three children, but he was also the grandfather of another three. Lets look closely at the children whose actions will shape the future of Westeros and the Seven Kingdoms. The show will soon feature another time skip. For this articles sake, only the actors portraying the younger version of the characters will be mentioned. RELATED: House of the Dragon: Season 1, Episode 6 Recap, Theories and Thoughts Aegon, Aemond, and Helaena Targaryen Aegon is Viserys eldest son, the first one the king had with Alicent Hightower. His mother always wished to see her son sitting on the Iron throne, so shes scheming to alienate Rhaenyra from his father, hoping that Viserys would name Aegon as his successor. He is riding a gold dragon called Sunfyre. In the series, Aegon is portrayed by David Tennants son, Ty. He will go down in the history books as Aegon II Targaryen, also known as Aegon the Elder. Aemond (Leo Ashton) is Aegons younger brother. Unlike his siblings, hes not a dragon rider when the series introduces him. The little prince is very upset about not having a dragon of his own, which allows people to manipulate him into doing reckless things. Aegon and Aemond have a sister called Helaena (Evie Allen), who is younger than Aegon but older than Aemond. She rode a dragon called Dreamfyre. In the books, Viserys and Alicent had another boy, Daeron, born shortly after Rhaenyras eldest son, Jacaerys. Considering that the show didnt even mention it, apparently, he has been axed from the series.

While their mother is undoubtedly Rhaenyra, their paternity has been questioned several times. According to many hints including their peculiar hair color , the Velaryons might not be Laenors children, but Harwin Strong might have fathered them. The accusation led to a long and intricate civil war known as The Dance of the Dragons, where many Targaryen died. Baela and Rhaena Targaryen Part of the latest House of the Dragon installment also focused on Daemon Targaryens children, the twin sisters Baela (Shani Smethurst) and Rhaena (Eva Ossei-Gerning). Daemon only showed affection for Rhaena, mostly ignoring the dragon-less Baela. The post House of the Dragon Explained: Who Are the 8 Children? appeared first on ComingSoon.net.
