Much of the drama takes place in King’s Landing and Dragonstone, which is familiar from GoT. The series will reflect love, deceit, betrayal, and bravery. The civil war that ensued nearly tore the seven kingdoms apart as blood and fire flood as each rival clawed for each other’s throats. At this time, Rhaenyra was also married to her uncle, the “rogue prince” Daemon Targaryen and ruled over Dragonstone. When Viserys’ died, his eldest son, Aegon backed by his mother Alicent Hightower instead ascended the iron throne, causing a great rift in the kingdom.
When he re-married his second wife gave him a son but Viserys didn’t change the succession plan. Viserys had no male son by his wife so he named Rhaenyra, his daughter as his heir. However, there were exceptions during Fifth Targaryen king Viserys I reign. The Targaryens generally followed the system of inheritance by a firstborn child, often the first-born son inherits the castle and lands of his or her father over an older sibling. The Targaryen civil war was a conflict over who should rule on the Iron Throne.
