In the fifth episode of House of the Dragon season 1, audiences were treated to another violent wedding on the Game of Thrones franchise.
Following the shocking events of episode four, Rhaenyra’s position as the heir to the Iron Throne was once again the concern of King Viserys and his small council, who were determined now more than ever to see the young princess married off. This time, everyone settles on Laenor after Corlys negotiates that any of Laenor and Rhaenyra’s children will be known as Valeryons until they sit on the throne, when they’ll be renamed Targaryens.
And unlike his father, who is deeply resentful that his wife was passed over as queen, Laenor isn’t as affected by that. “There’s a lot of talk about how his mom had been passed over for the Iron Throne before he was born. But it’s not something that motivates his every move,” the actor says. At least not in the same way his relationship does. “Joffrey is probably the biggest motivation.
While his instinct is to immediately jump in and fight, “there’s too many bodies,” the actor says. And he’s unable to get to Joffrey before he’s killed. The scene then ends with the bloodied room cleared out and Laenor left weeping over his lover’s dead body.
