House of the Dragon
The clause contains spoiler from House of the Dragon . The article also contains brief treatment about sexual violation . House Of The Dragon ’s finale episode will feature the backwash of Aegon being crowned baron , supplanting his baby ’s heirdom . In particular , viewers will see how Rhaenyra would react to the thunderclap and address the biggest disputation about whether she would be a fit king .
However , it has become quite clear to the audience that as Aegon has grown from a boy into a man , he does not have the news , temperament , or like to be a king . Though Alicent was determined to put her firstborn son on the Iron Throne , Aegon Targaryen has proven in many ways , specially in these quotes , that he ’s an unfit Martin Luther King Jr. .
“Behold, The Pink Dread.”
“The Princess And The Queen” (S1.E6)
From Aegon ’s youth , he proved to be an entitled and spoiled unseasoned man . When his brother is clearly disordered about not having a dragon of his own , Aegon decides to tantalize Aemond by whip some bogus wings to a pig and calling it the " Pink Dread . "
Aegon has n’t establish he is a keen flying lizard rider like other Targaryens in his kin , yet he instruct his brother simply for the fact that a flying lizard was not born at the time of Aemond ’s birth . While this can be chalked up to some innocent childhood prank , it is one of the first signs that Aegon has little thinking for anyone other than himself .
“We Both Fancy Creatures With Very Long Legs.”
“Driftmark” (S1.E7)
As well as selfish and brutal , Aegon has also demonstrated that he is quite a stark young man , too . When he complains about receive to marry his sister Helaena , Aemond tries to make it a point that it ’s for the good of the family . Aegon chooses this time to make a unprocessed joke , comparing his baby ’s erotic love for spider and bugs to his sexual perversion toward women .
This quote is not only upsetting because of its crude nature , but highlights thatViserys ' family watch his death will have little lovefor one another . Instead of rivet on the good of his house , Aegon is concerned with what ’s pleasurable to him , which has only caused issues for his house and reputation .
“You Dare Put Hands On Me?”
Despite the fact that Aegon has almost no interest in being king , even in his early days , he still remain to be a spoilt , ego - focus on teenager . He demonstrates this when he snaps at Ser Harwin Strong while he ’s spar with Jacearys .
This quote makes it a full point that Aegon knows he has the perquisite of being royal family but does n’t actually need the responsibility that come with his nascence . He was being too rough with Jacaerys while sparring against the small son , but still feel he had a right wing to get angry when someone arrest the rape . When Viserys scolds him for have a fit over this , it ’s obvious he was out of line .
“It Was Just Harmless Fun.”
“The Lord Of The Tides” (S1.E8)
His action mechanism as a unseasoned adult may be exempt as the transgressions of a rebellious teenager , but Aegon is n’t any less out or keeping into adulthood . In fact , he only seems to get worse throughout the years . Toward the beginning of " The Lord of the Tides , " a servant girl confesses to Alicent that Aegon sexually assaulted her in his chambers .
When Alicent confront him about this assault , this is what he says to her . Aegon is no longer just a rebellious teenager , but someone that believes he can use his privilege to use and abuse whoever he select to . At this point , he ’s far from anything like his father , the beloved King Viserys the Peaceful .
“I Did Not Ask For This.”
Despite the fact that Aegon is a full - grown adult now , he continues to throw tantrums and has a " aliveness ’s not fair " mental attitude . It ’s mentioned repeatedly that most man in his position would climb up at the chance to rule a kingdom . However , Aegon not only is n’t primed to be king but makes it blatantly clear he has no stake .
Aegon acts as if the emphasis of his position is an excuse to do all the vile things he acts upon . ThoughAegon is one of Alicent ’s great alliesgoing into the state of war against Rhaenyra , it is only because his insufficiency as a rule makes it easier for him to be manipulate , made clear in the way he shrivel under her scolding .
“You Do Know How The Act Is Done, Don’t You?”
As is mentioned multiple clip throughout the show , Rhaenyra says , " the only thing that can tear down the star sign of the dragon " is itself . Aegon proves this is the case in the direction he endlessly taunts syndicate members , specially Rhaenyra ’s Word .
He says this to Jacaerys when it is announced that the prince will get married Baela Velaryon , suggesting Jace does n’t bed how to have sexual practice . While this is another one of his useless taunts , it further establish the point that Aegon had no retainer of the tautness he is helping to ramp up between the two English of his family .
“And Why Have You Paid It?”
“The Green Council” (S1.E9)
For much of the sequence have an former Aegon , he was an chesty and self - indulgent man . However , House of the Dragon ’s " The Green Council " portrays another sad and more defeated version of Aegon .
When Arryk and Erryk Cargyll finally find Aegon hidden out and tell him Otto paid the White Worm for his localization , he require them this doubt . Though Aegon has reveled the advantages of his birthright , this quotation points out he has niggling self - worth shortly before becoming king . If he has so little faith in himself , expect his family to give up on him , it ’s improbable he ’s serve the realm well .
“I Have No Wish To Rule. No Taste For Duty.”
One prospect oftenmisunderstood about Aemond Targaryenis that he has small probability of inheriting the Iron Throne , but had Aegon decided to flee from his birthright , he may have gift his crony the chance to rule in his place .
When Aegon convey this access of inadequateness , he is also making it known that his younger brother is more suited for the potty . While he could have learned to reign as Aemond did , through the histories and ism , his frivolous affairs have precede him to a spot in which he knows he is not suit for the throne .
“I Will Find A Ship And Sail Away, Never To Be Found.”
This inverted comma demonstrates Aegon ’s deficiency of realistic thinking . Though this take a crap it absolved he would rather be anywhere else but in King ’s Landing sitting on the potty , he also fails to grasp that die hard forth would go away him with nothing to support himself . As a corrupt royal with fiddling ability to fend for himself , he still fails to apprehend the fact he has few options for survival outside his Targaryen house .
One of the most shockingtwists in this instalment is when Rhaenysbursts through the floor of Aegon ’s investiture . Before this , Aegon was completely swept away in the hoopla of his coronation . However , the fear in his eyes and allowing his female parent to shield him reach the estimate of him sailing aside on a ship all the more favorable compared to his future attempt to rule a kingdom .
“He Didn’t Like Me.”
When Alicent is trying to win over Aegon that Viserys changed his mind about Aegon succeeding him , he does not believe it and even express joy at the idea . He ’s almost pitiable when he confesses he believed his father did not like him .
While it ’s hard to say for indisputable whether Viserys liked his Word or not , Viserys makes it known shortly before his end that he love all of his kinsperson and wishes them well . While his father had his shift as magnate , this is one lesson Aegon should have get word from his Father of the Church . Had he mind to his desperate and ailing founder , he may have had more potential to rule as a serious-minded and loving king .
