During season one of #HouseoftheDragon, we have been introduced to Rhaenyra Targaryen, King Viserys's eldest child and named heir, and Aegon Targaryen, King Viserys's eldest son, the younger halfbrother of Rhaenyra. This makes viewers and lords of the realm confused about who should succeed Viserys. In this video, I attempt to explain the succession laws of Westeros to give us a clearer idea of who should be the heir. Remember, there's no right answer, they're all bad people, and it's just fun to watch them nuke each other with dragons.
