The House of the Dragon Soap2day opens with a succinct history lesson detailing the Targaryens' initial reign over the Seven Kingdoms led by Aegon The Conqueror. Jaeherys I, Aegon's grandson and eventual king, faced a challenge in producing an heir. Faced with a choice between his granddaughter Rhaenys and grandson Viserys, Jaeherys I, advised by a patriarchal council, opted for Viserys. As Viserys assumed the throne, he encountered the same hurdle after his wife Queen Aemma passed away in childbirth, leaving him with only his daughter Rhaenyra.
