This is made worse in the finale when Rhaenyra mentions the Song of Ice and Fire Prophecy, and it's revealed that Viserys never told Daemon about the prophecy. The scenes leading up to when Daemon chokes Rhaenyra show that the two characters are approaching the problem of the coup from two different angles.
His legendary ancestor, King Aegon the Conqueror, had a vision that the world of men would fall, and understood that only his family of Aryan inbreds could save it. Viserys tells his daughter, Princess Rhaenyra, that Aegon “foresaw the end of the world of men.
House of the Dragon: This is why King Viserys did not tell his brother Daemon about the Targaryen prophecy. In the finale of the first season “House of the Dragon” Rhaenyra Targaryen tells about Aegon's dream, which Daemon hears about for the first time.
In the books that the TV series is based on, Viserys did not react well to the news that Rhaenyra and Daemon were married. He notably, though, did not disinherit Rhaenyra, which suggests as distasteful as he might have found their union, he did not see it as an abomination nor an obstacle to ruling the Seven Kingdoms.
It was obvious that Viserys thought he was talking to Rhaenyra about her son Aegon, wasn't it?
Daemon strangled Rhaenyra because he felt betrayed by Viserys. “It's a moment that I think is surprising and shocking for Daemon as a character, but I also think it's one of those things that's been set up over the course of the entire season.
"It is you. You are the one. You must do this. You must do this."
In his final moments, he says, “My love,” and he's referring to his first wife, Aemma. He actually mistook Alicent for his wife in House of the Dragon, episode seven, “Driftmark,” and it's his one true love.
Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D'Arcy) and Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) finally had sex on House of the Dragon. After teasing their deep connection for weeks, making out in a brothel, and flirting their way through King's Landing, uncle and niece at long last did the dirty.
The show has got the speed of the disease correct. King Viserys has lived with leprosy for many decades and the disease has grown very slowly.
Though Viserys is actually referring to Rhaenyra's duty to rule Westeros and carry and pass on the burden of Aegon's dream, Alicent tragically mistakes his message as a command for her to place their son on the Iron Throne and to disinherit Rhaenyra.
Daemon Targaryen reveals that Viserys never told him about Aegon's dream in House of the Dragon, confirming Daemon was never going to be his heir. WARNING! This article contains SPOILERS for House of the Dragon's season 1 finale!
She mentions the “Song of Ice and Fire” prophecy. Daemon grabs Rhaenyra by the neck, choking her and saying that Viserys wanted desperately to make his reign more significant. He says dreams didn't make them kings, dragons did. Rhaenyra realizes that Viserys never told his brother about the prophecy.
Later, her husband (and uncle) Daemon (Matt Smith) abruptly chokes Rhaenyra when she mentions the Song of Ice and Fire, not realizing Viserys never told Daemon of it.
Previously, Paddy Considine, who played Viserys, spoke to EW on the nature of Viserys' condition, which he said is "...a form of leprosy." He continued, saying that his illness "... becomes a metaphor for being king, and the stress and strain that it puts on you."
In fact, Martin outright said as much during a Q&A back in 1999, calling the idea that Targaryens were magically immune to fire a “common misconception.” “TARGARYENS ARE NOT IMMUNE TO FIRE!” the author emphatically stated. “The birth of Dany's dragons was unique, magical, wonderous, a miracle.
Game of Thrones' Drogon chose not to kill Jon Snow because of his Targaryen blood, his love for Daenerys, and Drogon's possible understanding that while Jon committed the act, he wasn't the reason for Daenerys' death at the end of Game of Thrones'.
In a romantic final bow, Viserys reaches out and whispers, “My love.” He's referring to his late wife, Queen Aemma Targaryen, who died in childbirth years ago, implying that he sees her and is reuniting with her in death.
As we know, Vhagar is the last surviving dragon of Aegon the Conqueror's Conquest of Westeros. She was ridden by Visenya Targaryen, and, after her first rider's death, she spent 29 years by herself, with no one mounting her.
Suddenly, Daemon grabs Rhaenyra and chokes her before telling her: “Dreams didn't make us kings. Dragons did.” Rhaenyra realizes that Daemon doesn't know about the song of ice and fire, and he doesn't want to listen.
Rhaenyra's new actor Emma, who has taken over the role following the 10-year time jump, has insisted that Daemon and Rhaenyra's relationship is a 'grooming scenario'. 'The idea that a teenage girl is in any way able to consent to that sexual interaction is a mess,' Emma told The Independent.
Daemon is, of course, younger than Rhaenyra's father Viserys, but he's still significantly older than her: in the books, there's a 16-year age gap between Rhaenyra and Daemon.
In episode 3, at the great hunt, a drunk Viserys reveals that at one stage he had his own prophecy, but he lost faith in it. He tells Alicent that he named Rhaenyra his heir "out of love.
