Why does Viserys still stand by Rhaenyra as his heir? Guilt, says writer Sara Hess 👀 'Viserys was deeply in love with his wife Aemma... And he realizes that his quest for a boy ended up killing her... Putting Rhaenyra as his heir is his penance' 😮
A House of the Dragon writer explains why King Viserys I stands by Rhaenyra as his heir. The Game of Thrones prequel series opens with King Viserys being chosen as the heir to the Iron Throne in a vote called by his grandfather King Jaehaerys over his cousin Rhaenys , earning her the moniker "The Queen Who Never Was.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Viserys' decision is initially accepted, but after he takes on a new wife and produces a male heir, the tides begin to change. Viserys faces pressure from many lords of Westeros to marry his daughter off, as well as from his advisor Otto Hightower to name his new son as heir.
Viserys was deeply in love with his wife Aemma, and never stopped loving her, and doesn't ever stop loving her. And he realizes that his quest for a boy ended up killing her, and he feels horrible about it. And this is his way of making up to her. Like, 'I should have realized [that] you gave me Rhaenyra,' and he says in episode 1 [to Rhaenyra] 'You are the best of your mother.
After the graphic House of the Dragon episode 1 birth scene, Hess' comments prove that Viserys is desperate to make up for his hand in his wife's demise, which may be a small comfort to viewers. After witnessing the king's bond with his new wife, who was formerly his daughter's best friend, it would be easy to assume that he had left Aemma in the past, especially since Alicent gave him the thing he previously wanted so badly - a son.
After episode 5, House of the Dragon will feature a 10-year time jump in episode 6, which is intriguing due to the many cliffhangers in the violent wedding between Rhaenyra and Laenor Velaryon . Though the king is still alive in the trailers for episode 6, Viserys' health has clearly taken a turn for the worse, and his impending death seems inevitable.
