House of the Dragon
monition ! This lean curb spoilers from House of the Dragon season 1 ! The list also contain videos with exceedingly pictorial last . The dragon reared its ugly head and civil warfare has erupted in Westeros follow the heart - wrench season finale ofHouse of the Dragon . Episode by episode , the serial publication develop and enhance the chronicle hidden beneath the surface ofFire & Blood , the compendium detail the history of House Targaryen . Whether from the deeply intimate moments to the gripping and sometimes frightening , action sequences , House of the Dragonenthralled audiences for ten hebdomad .
Like its predecessor , Game of Thrones , someone died in every installment this time of year , though each death hit harder . While some were haphazard or bechance off - concealment , as in the typeface of the Crabfeeder , others like King Viserys ' were well - earn and pump - break . One “ demise ” fromFire & Blooddidn’t even happen , with him and Qarl sailing off to their happy ending elsewhere – although a random guard still had to die for that to encounter . All in all , these deaths , in picky , were exceptionally alarming , brutal , and horrendous to see .
Rhea Royce
Some fiber make a secure wallop with very little projection screen time . Lady Rhea Royce is one of those character . After being name periodically throughout the old four installment , and not in favorable room , she finally appeared in " We Light the way of life , " only to die . The style was quite scandalous , with Daemon whop her head in with a John Rock , even if it was n’t shown .
This was an important moment to those familiar with the schoolbook as Daemon had an exculpation excusing him from culpability , yet it always take that he was responsible . It just goes to show how cruelty and force are his first instinct , and were it not for Rhaenyra , Laenor would ’ve suffer the same fate . Nevertheless , Rhea kick the bucket out like a badass , insulting her hubby ’s impotency .
Laena Velaryon
Several deaths throughout season 1 , while still impactful , could ’ve landed harder if certaincharacters receive more cover time inHouse of the Dragon . That ’s the guinea pig for Laena Velaryon who had a stellar viewing in " The Princess and the tabby " that belt along her along to her death by the episode ’s end . She is such a cool character that would ’ve benefited from a less constrict timeline .
regrettably , she is forced into a exchangeable situation to Queen Aemma from the time of year premiere in having the option to live or die taken out of her bridge player . While Daemon apparently was leaning against save the child at the expense of the female parent like Viserys , she choose to take manner into her own bridge player . FromGame of Thrones , dragon fire was solely aimed at enemies and unfit guys , yet viewers had to watch it engulf a heroic chassis . Laena ’s demise is not only one of the most tragical inHouse of the Dragon , but still one of the most haunting to watch .
Jerrel Bracken
Jerrel Bracken had to get word the hard means not to make fun of Willem Blackwood . He was an chesty young son aiming for Princess Rhaenyra ’s hand , yet he get Willem ’s unimposing and flighty demeanor for weakness , only to find out that the young Blackwood is n’t as sinless as he may seem . Though their names are different , this is a moment take right fromFire & Blood .
For as long as the histories can say , Houses Bracken and Blackwood have been deadly enemy , hence Jerrel ’s quick conclusion to provoke Willem . The Albert Gore Jr. from when Willem cut heart-to-heart Jerrel ’s stomach is significant as it seems out of place with the character reference and the minutes , but that ’s just the path of the cosmos . viewer will see much tough by the serial publication ’ end .
Dragonpit Victims
The penultimate sequence was quite tamed compared to the iconic ninth episodes fromGame of Thrones , such as “ The Rains of Castamere ” and “ The Battle of the Bastards . ” That is until the final scene and the enthronement of King Aegon II . Fulfilling Queen Helaena ’s premonition – “ beware the beast beneath the boards ” – Princess Rhaenys crashed through the flooring of the Dragonpit on her dragon Meleys , killing a great bit of the little folk attending .
This was the great natural process successiveness they needed to come together out the episode , and it stands out for how it treat the small-scale folk . Even in the eyes of Rhaenys , who is one of the wiser and more fledged characters inHouse of the Dragon , their lives are much wretched . She does n’t allow Meleys burn down the usurping Greens , but she ’s all right killing all those innocent people .
Ser Harwin & Lord Lyonel Strong
When they were first introduced , free-and-easy viewers in all probability were recognize Ser Harwin Strong and his father , Lord Lyonel Strong , for how great they are . liken to the likes of Otto Hightower , King Viserys , and Tywin Lannister , Harwin is one of the best fathers , and Lyonel is one of the best Hands in these stories . Harwin is genial and loving to Rhaenyra and his sons , uncoerced to live a Trygve Halvden Lie for their refuge , while Lyonel is wise and selfless .
They too could ’ve benefited from more screen time , but when their time amount in the burn of Harrenhal , it was still very horrific . That ’s mostly because it was enacted by their own kin , Larys Strong . Interestingly , inFire & Blood , there are many suspected perpetrator , including Daemon Targaryen , Corlys Velaryon , and even King Viserys I , yet it was their own family who ordered their deaths .
Ser Joffrey Lonmouth
While Laenor and Qarl pay back their glad ending together , one of the only other LGBTQ+ characters was pummeled to end . Ser Joffrey Lonmouth was n’t the most sympathetic character , ensure an opportunity to gain purchase over Rhaenyra through Criston Cole . However , the love he and Laenor shared was true , and Laenor ’s wails were bosom - wrench follow Joffrey ’s murder .
It ’s still unknown what set Criston off – whether Joffrey return to hold more barb at him or he just stewed there and seized an opportunity to let his craze explode . Nevertheless , Game of Throneshad many black and violent moments , and this could touch many of them . He is scream blooming murder , continuing to punch Joffrey ’s school principal in even after he ’s clearly dead .
Lord Lyman Beesbury
Of of course , Joffrey ’s death is n’t the only one the “ great ” Criston Cole had his bridge player in . He also murderedLord Lyman Beesbury , dally by Bill Paterson ofFleabagfame , though the show made it seem more like an accident . He was too heady and pushed the frail Master of Coins down too forcefully , smashing his head teacher into the ornamental ball the small council manipulation for attending .
Like the Strongs ’ deaths , Beesbury is a bit of a mystery inFire & Blood . Criston is always at fault , but some report it was a blatant decisiveness rather than an accident , with one historiographer lay claim he slit Beesbury ’s throat . This modification adds some refinement to the story , but if it had die down like that , it probably would ’ve been much more bestial .
Ser Vaemond Velaryon
There ’s not really a death so shocking in the present moment as Ser Vaemond Velaryon ’s . Unless a viewer is entirely focusing on what is out of focus in the backcloth , they ’d have no inkling of Daemon fare up behind him to slit through Vaemond ’s head with Dark Sister . Of course , his death had to encounter one way or another after insulting Rhaenyra and her children , but this epically came out of nowhere .
What constitute this strike so alarming is how exact it is . demon snub off Vaemond ’s head teacher but keeps his clapper still attach to his body , sound out , “ he can keep his glossa . ” Luckily enough , his hurt terminate there because , inFire & Blood , it ’s report that Rhaenyra then feed Vaemond to her dragon Syrax . This is already utterly scandalous , but that would ’ve sealed the deal for the most brutal dying ever .
Prince Lucerys Velaryon & Arrax
Both the most tragic and horrific decease are often enhanced by brief moments of Leslie Townes Hope . That ’s what makes young Prince Lucerys ’ death so strikingly roughshod . Viewers acknowledge something bad was stick to to materialise when Vhagar disclose herself at Storm ’s End , but there ’s a abbreviated moment after Aemond chase Luke in the skies that he breaks through above the clouds and perhaps some thought he was free . Unfortunately , Vhagar had other ideas .
As one of themain flying lizard inHouse of the Dragonseason 1 , Arrax , Luke ’s Draco , also score his one and only coming into court , striking back at and angering Vhagar on the face of it with promise of protecting its passenger . That misstep end with Vhagar keel through the clouds to charge Arrax into pieces , thus catalyzing the Dance of the Dragons .
Queen Aemma Arryn
While the finale finish on that incredibly shocking note , the serial premiere still obtain the championship for the most horrific decease with Queen Aemma ’s . Amidst the agitation for return to Westeros , many viewers shared their reactions on Twitterto the terrifying and traumatic moment when Viserys opt to save the nipper over Aemma with a mortal operating theatre . It get a polarizing reaction with debate on both sides of the gangway about whether something like this is necessary to be shown on screen .
Aemma ’s expiry strike the laborious and is made all the more dire by the work done establishing the character originally in the episode . She is clearly a variety and considerate character , a person who did not merit to go out like this . While the deaths to come inHouse of the Dragonwill primarily be on the battlefield , Aemma ’s might still outrank them all .
