House of the Dragon finally solves a political mystery that Game of Thrones never did

George R.R. Martin’s fantasy books set in the world of Westeros are full of political intrigue, and HBO has brought that to life with relative ease in Game of Thrones,House of the Dragon, and even in the more commoner-oriented TV series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. From Aegon’s Conquest of Westeros to Robert’s Rebellion against the Targaryen dynasty, the fragile alliances and endless scheming that hold Westeros together are a big part of what keeps audiences coming back for more, and obsessing over the story in between new seasons.
