HOUSE STRONG Lord Lyonel Strong (Gavin Spokes)

No interest in politics, but renowned at court as a great beauty. The daughter of Corlys and Rhaenys, and older sister of Laenor.

“A Fiery young maiden… Lady Laena had inherited the beauty of a true Targaryen from her mother, Rhaenys, and a bold, adventurous spirit from her father, the Sea Snake…” That really was a controversial decision.

As the ten-episode series prepares to launch, here’s a who’s-who of the earliest pieces on the chessboard. There are more dragons in this earlier age, and more blood and royal incest than you can shake a shard of Dragonglass at.

Martin’s deep-dive Fire And Blood: a work of fictional history that reads like the treatment for about 500 seasons of television. A prequel set generations before the original show (and novels), it’s based on George R.R. But even if you felt a little burned by its fiery finale, things are looking promising for House Of The Dragon. Game Of Thrones may have ended… controversially.
