It is said that whenever a Targaryen is born the gods flip a coin and the world waits to see how it will land: the side of greatness or the side of madness.
In this episode, we discuss the upcoming show, House of the Dragon, and the many new difficult damsels we are looking forward to meeting. At the center of the drama is Rhaenyra Targaryen – a woman whose coin teeters on the edge of greatness and madness. We also delve into the real life parallels between Rhaenyra and Empress Matilda, who was promised the throne of England only to have it stolen out from under her. And then came war.
Except this time there be dragons. Lots and lots of dragons!!!
Join us for a tale of treachery, political machinations, family members plotting to kill each other and, yes … even incest. The Ptolemy’s would be so proud.
