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 half-brother 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.
