Battle of the Green Council: Aftermath and Fate of Rhaenys and Aegon

Spoiler Alert: House of the Dragon Season 2 and Beyond

The fourth episode of "House of the Dragon" concluded with a jaw-dropping cliffhanger that left viewers on the edge of their seats. In a battle that will go down in Westerosi history, Rhaenys Targaryen and Aegon II Targaryen found themselves locked in a deadly confrontation.

Rhaenys' Fate

In the brutal and tragic events that unfolded, Rhaenys was killed by Aegon II's dragon, Sunfyre. Her demise mirrored her gruesome end in George R.R. Martin's source material, where she was burned alive in King's Landing.

Aegon's Injury

While Rhaenys met her untimely end, Aegon II was left gravely injured in the battle. His dragon, Sunfyre, was severely wounded, and Aegon himself sustained grievous burns.

In Martin's books, Aegon II's fate is ultimately sealed when he is poisoned by his own brother, Aegon the Younger. However, it remains to be seen whether the show will follow this same path.

The aftermath of the Battle of the Green Council has left Westeros in chaos, with the future of the realm hanging in the balance. As "House of the Dragon" continues to unfold, viewers will undoubtedly be captivated by the gripping storylines and the fate of the Targaryen dynasty.
