King Viserys: When will he die in House of The Dragon?
King Viserys I Targaryen (Paddy Considine) isn’t very important in Westeros, but when will he die in the dragon house? The main plot of House of the Dragon is who will take over as ruler of the Seven Kingdoms of Viserys. Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Milly Alcock), the king’s teenage daughter and named heiress, is afraid her half-brother Aegon, Viserys’ eldest son by his second wife, Lady Alicent Hightower (Emily Carey), will withdraw his claim . Viserys’ poor health prevents him from reigning as king.
In House of the Dragon, Viserys has an unnamed disease called “The Rot”. The King cut himself on the Iron Throne, which led to an infection that caused him to lose two fingers from his left hand. Hand. Viserys’ disease worsens in episode 4 of “House of the Dragon”. His body is covered with bruises and wounds that won’t heal. The king is still in pain, which makes him feel bad and makes him drink wine to make the pain go away.
Viserys is king, so he has to deal with a lot of political pressure, and Rhaenyra and her brother, Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith), cause him personal problems. Viserys disease, meanwhile, is now known as “necrotizing fasciitis.” This is an infection that causes black spots and blisters on the skin that must be surgically removed. In House of the Dragon, King Viserys will die, but when will that happen? In George R.

Viserys dies in 129 ADS, which triggers the Succession Crisis which leads to the Dance of the Dragons, the war between Rhaenyra and the Alicent factions (and their dragons) for the Iron Throne. In the fourth episode of House of the Dragon, Rhaenyra and Alicent were both teenagers. This was around 117 or 118 AC.
That means Viserys will have to suffer another 10 or so years before he dies in 129 AD, if the HBO show stays true to the book’s timeline. However, House of the Dragon already breaks the book’s timeline and creates its own Has. Episode 9, if not earlier.
Why does King Viserys have to die before Dragon House End of season 1?
The death of Viserys, who the House of Dragon has been planting and growing since the beginning of the series, is the turning point that takes House Targaryen in a different direction. Once the king is dead, the drama arc of the House of the Dragon series, called the Dance of the Dragons, begins.
Due to time travel in House of the Dragon, there will soon be a big change in the cast. Young Rhaenyra and Alicent, who viewers have come to know and love, will be leaving the show. She was replaced by Emma D’Arcy, who plays Rhaenyra, and Olivia Cooke, who plays both Alicent and Rhaenyra when they are around 30 years old. Now that House of the Dragon has been officially remade, it’s possible that most of the Dragon Dance will happen in Season 2, with Season 1 being mostly about setting up Targaryen’s Civil War.
Whatever happens, King Viserys’ time is running out. It’s like the deaths of King Robert Baratheon (Mark Addy) and Ned Stark (John Bradley) in Season 1 of Game of Thrones (Sean Bean). The true story of House of the Dragon can’t begin until Viserys is dead, either because of his horrific illness or some other reason (Fire and Blood isn’t sure exactly what killed Viserys). House of the Dragon will be very different and will focus on many new characters, especially the children of Rhaenyra and Alicent.
The Death of King Viserys in “The House of the Dragon” Produces Two Factions in the Targaryen Family
This problem is never solved. So when King Viserys dies, there will be a fight between two parts of House Targaryen for the Iron Throne. The family splits into two, and each part has its own friends and servants. “Greens” support Alicent and her son Aegon, while “Blacks” support Princess Rhaenyra.
This happens when the Targaryen family is in charge of dozens of dragons. So when the family splits up and starts to fight, there are dragons and riders on both sides.

The Civil War is known as “The Dance of the Dragons”
Because the dragons are on both sides, the battles in this civil war are fought in the sky. For this reason, the war is called “Dance of the Dragons”. This war was alluded to in both Game of Thrones and Martin’s original books.
Since the war doesn’t begin until after King Viserys’ death, it’s unclear how long the character will be in the series. Will he only be in the first two episodes? Will the Dance of the Dragons even take place in season 1? There are still no answers to these questions.
Because Viserys’ reign and what happens during that time is so important to why the Civil War begins, it’s possible that this is the main focus of the entire first season. Fans may have to wait until season 2 or later for the real war to begin.
House of the Dragon begins on HBO on Sunday, August 21. On HBO Max, you can watch all eight seasons of Game of Thrones.
