Watch House of the Dragon Season 1, Episode 5 live online
We are onto the final episode with the younger actors playing their roles. What’s to come in House of the Dragon Season 1, Episode 5?
During the previous episode, Viserys made it clear that Rhaenyra needs to marry. She isn’t going to put up a fight this time, even if it is to a man she doesn’t love. Now Viserys needs to make sure the marriage plans work out.
He wants to marry his daughter to Lord Corlys Velaryon and Princess Rhaenys Targaryen’s son, Ser Laenor. The problem is Rhaenys knows that while Rhaenyra may be named heir now, there’s a good chance that she won’t end up succeeding to the throne. Does she want her son to be part of that? Does she want her son to face what her husband has had to face?
Viserys will need to put up a good reason for this marriage to happen. Is there another one that he can suggest considering they also have a daughter who remains unwed because he refused it earlier?
