Hugh's mother is Saera Targaryen, King Jaeherys and Queen Alysanne's daughter. Jaeherys disowned her because of her promiscuity so she became a madam in a brothel in Lys. So Hugh is actually Viserys and Daemon's cousin.
The dragon that chose Ulf is a female, Silverwing. She was playing with him lol She's so beautiful, one of my favorite dragons! Those were her clutch of eggs. The clutch itself is like the membrane, the eggs are wicked strong. That last scene was awesome!
Jace is right though, it’s not just about his feelings (though they are naturally involved lol, he’s like 16). Being called “heir” isn’t always enough to inspire loyalty. Rhaenyra herself is proof of that. Jace worries that the people will favor a silver-haired Targaryen with a large dragon (Hugh, for instance) to rule them than a brown-haired Targaryen with a small dragon. Jace is an obvious bastard, he’s not even a legitimized one at that (to be legitimized, he has to be declared a bastard). Even if Rhaenyra prevails, it’s likely another war will follow over Jace’s ascension. He’s thinking long-term, she’s thinking short-term. Jace’s argument goes beyond his own personal insecurities, he does make a valid point.
What jace said is true tho? Whats stopping these new dragonriders with bigger dragons than him from claiming the throne? Can Rhaenyra protect him from them? And Jace aint and elitist or spoiled, he wanted new dragon riders too, but he wanted highborn/noble ones. Those highborn has valyrian blood but are so small, they can claim a dragon but their chances of rebelling and taking the throne is weak since their blood is also mixed with other families.
Seemed like you talked over it but Corlys once again explained that the Velaryon's are not dragon riders. Which means their mom must have had Targaryen blood.
Last time the Dragon tamers from Old Valyria helped with the attempt of Ser Steffon Darklyn and one of them was killed. I think they were more scared of dying and used that as an excuse because they didn't want more tamers to die. They probably don't normally die on a day to day basis so this was too risky for them because they knew it would be chaos with so many untrained bastards. Rhaenyra doesn't need their help though, she is a true Dragon Lord.
hahaha love it! my friend gets episodes earlier cuz she reviews them and she said the final episode this Sunday is OUT OF THIS WORLD amazing! I can’t wait!!! 🔥
I believe deamond and the young river lord the interaction was kind of staged deamond let the conversation play the way it did to help the young lord gain respect of the river folk because you deamond would have slapped the boy to the ground 2 snide comments in 😅
