About House of the Dragon season 2
As aforementioned, House of the Dragon season 2 will witness the Blacks go clash with the Greens and vice versa, in a war for the Iron Throne. In season 1 of the show, after much contestation and deliberation, Viserys I named Rhaenyra as the heir to the throne. However, Alicent Hightower (Visery's second wife) and her sons were not too keen on seeing Rhaenrya on the throne as they thought that they were its rightful inheritors.
The cold war between the two houses resulted in them searching for allies for their cause, be it in court or on the battlefield. Although the latter option was anticipated at a certain point, it was catapulted into action after the death of Rhaenyra's son at Aemond's hands.
